At least not against Japan. I played a match of BR II Allies today and I completely stomped Japan. Although, I feel like any BR where there more actual players than AI is a strong BR for that faction. (cough cough BR II Japan). I think BR III and BR V has the most players still.
Still better than my sub 1.0 K/D ratio.
Like Vonuah said. It can be hard to tell the difference between players and AI in plain sight.
Your game definitely seem misarble. but it wasn’t like you assumed a bot lobby. It was 9 vs 10, from the beginning.
So, in the end: this more of a desertion problem.
The matchmaker tends to be very good nowadays to find full lobbies.
Possibly. Still doesn’t solve the issue 50% of the team was AI. Don’t know why half the team would quit on invasion. It wasn’t even Gavutu (easily the worst Japan map).
Pre-merge, I played about 300 games with the Germans and I think 68 with the Allies. After the merge, I played over 1,400 Allied games before I started my German factions. I did this because I was tired of losing, and only had a w/l percentage in the mid 30’s at that point, playing almost all level two. So, since I was getting butt slammed nightly by the Germans, I joined, and my win/loss percentage rose. So, in the past year and a half, I have played over 2,000 German games and 400 or so Allies, but I will play Allies a game here or there, and if I win, keep playing till I start losing, which at one point a few months ago won about 21 of 25 level three matches. Lately, I am winning most with Japanese or Soviets. But I switch around now. BTW, I was at 55% with the Allies and about 50 or 55 of those 1,963 games were April event losses which I never played the Allies, but event losses were tagged to the Allies, so really the w/l % is meaningless anymore.
after your team deserted yes.
Ask yourself: Would you want to join a losing side in an ongoing battle in which 1-3 points were lost?
Not many would like that why we don’t fill up lobbies mid-game.
There’s an exception, like Vonouha said, if ppl desert pre-game or just in the beginning, they can be replaced.
Weird, I usually have fun with Japanese battles.
Not many deserters at all.
In fact, my win rate is the highest with Japan.
I have finished all TT in the game.
Recently (1-2 months ago) I played Japan BR 3 and got 11 wins in a row (to get the achievement).
I play Japan mostly at BR 5 and usually the enemy team sucks more that us.
I did notice with Japan, the time of day that I play matters (dont play when Japan is sleeping perhaps…I dunno).
Anyway, did not notice many bots/deserters at all.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve touched them, last time I remember they were completely invincible. (The Japanese)
USA players are always clowning around and there are plenty of players with br1-2 weapons even at at br5. I feel a dread every time i decide to play as western allies
Correction, every time you decide to play against the Western Allies. Due to the premiums sale going on, it seems literally everyone has a 7.63 Thompson. It should ideally be uptiered, as it’s too much for the Japanese and Germans in BR II.
cause they were. it was 9v10 from start and then 4 people quit and werent replaced with another human player. also you had 2 console players that had worse performance than bots(4th player in your team is a bot). btw it is actually miracle that with only 3 useful players you managed to fight against 10 human players for more than 30 minutes.
also you can check bots here
Well I dunno about that now, tbf I was playing BR 3, but my join any nation feature kept feeding me into the allies, occasionally germany, so I dont know if thats entirely true, that or the system which is meant to feed you into the more undermanned faction is actually feeding you into the most manned faction.
I doubt it. If Japan is the most manned faction, and it has 5 AI bots in a match (or more, if you saw my other match I had), then how bad are the other factions doing?
I dunno what to tell you except thats what happens, now maybe its because of time zones, and Japan is more popular in EU/NA timezones, but in my experience, Japan is rarely struggling for players.
Not to demean you, because all sides just suffer from absolutely dogshit teams at times.
If only this wasn’t true . . . imagine how much better matches would be. I should really make a post on how to upgrade the tutorial.
Yeah, sadly its be asked for many times, myself included, I think it should be made more interactive and should play out in a rather cinematic fashion similar to the CoD WaW, I mean we all remember the Stalingrad tutorial there.
Do you know Japanese BR 5 player very strong.
