Recently, many German players have taken the initiative to downgrade their equipment to BR3.
Just to kill the newcomers
And when they accidentally entered BR5 and heard the terrifying M2 carbine firing, they immediately became deserters.
Or hide behind and play with sniper rifles.

The Soviet paratroopers are no better when they got them and in this game it doesn’t even reward you to fight to the bitter end and have a good battle so what good is that honor when you’re not even rewarded for it

As long as darkflow keeps pushing these ridiculous fomo events with absurd requirements I’m fine with whatever tactics people use to get by

As a proud Soviet main, I have been doing this since merge dropped. It is also listed in my Soviets beginners guide.
What world are you living in? The M2 Carbine can’t be aimed at for crap with those garbage sights, not to mention every match the Axis touch is nothing but pain for US players.

But, by your own posts, if you see an Asian player, a Fedorov an RD-44 an AS-44, Maxim-Tokarev or an RMN 50 (LMAO), the match is worth deserting.
So how can you make a post about fighting to the bitter end when you prefer do to so when only at great advantage?

Because there are times when you can squeak one out, and even if you lose, you have well over 4.5k XP. Anything under 4.5k is a waste of time in a loss .

Or perhaps BR III is currently the only BR where you can field the most historically accurate weapon & vehicle selections without getting sucked into fantasy land too often ?
But actually I think you just like posting dumb shit,
You have the award for the week so far …

yeah, i have been playing allies high tier to start my torture and finish to grind all of the allies
but majority of the germans are in br III / II.
while i do occasionally fight king tigers ( which… unless he is not looking at me… not many chances there beside trying to track him. )
most of them are br III, inexperienced players, or straight up deserter.

BR III has some good attacker aircraft for all nations. That’s my go to vs the BR IV / V vehicles.
that isn’t really my problem.
nor really in public matches.
one way or another, the tiger will get destroyed either by my M9 or a friendly plane / friendly infantry
but, i was a bit surprised how the firefly is unable to penetrate a king tiger.
like, neither from the cheekcs, or bow turret.
( fairly sure you can in war thunder… or real life )

Well its all irrelevant with the new mechanics.
All BR III tanks currently in game can damage the KTs barrel, then the track. Then its GG.
There should be absolutely no issues with any tank in game right now with the new mechanics. The most difficult tanks now are the US tanks without muzzle breaks, because its harder to hit the barrel consistently - go figure.
From a historical perspective, during WWII the KTs only feared the IS-2s 122mm or the SU/ISU 152mm HE rounds frontally because it could cause significant spalling. I guess the Pershing could probably punch through with the 90mm as well but that didn’t happen either, since I don’t think they got rounds on each other. From the side was a different issue though, which is why the Soviets never had any issues with them on the Eastern Front. Once they flanked them it was good night charlie.
All faction do that and most BR3 will obviously desert, nothing new there.
The number of German mains dropped due to holidays so German BR3 is more likely to get uptiered as before.
I dislike those cowards too, I hope they stop playing Germany and go back to USSR where they belong.

that’s quite the load of bs.
negated by perks too.
that’s the neat part,
you can’t
even if you shoot at the barrel, it somehow bounces off and deals no damage.
the only reliable way to effectively destroy and damage a KT, is through cas.
or… from the side. hoping that it’s not in the gray area of course.

Side A needs to “lol just aim for mg port” or “lol just flank bro” or mg cannon and track depending if cannon actually gets damaged.
Side B needs to pen tank frontally with one hit and then can farm infantry again.
Sounds fun to me. I dont know why more people choose B and less A.
From an historical perspective, the tank would probably not reach the front or out of fuel in Berlin.

We’re not playing the logistic card here are we ? Well it doesn’t matter I guess, this discourse insn’t going anywhere.
What’s negated by perks ?
I shoot tanks in the barrel as often as I can, there are no issues as long as I can get a clean shot. Sometimes its hard because the object boxes skew the aim point on the gun. Especially common on Berlin maps. But if you can get a good shot into the barrel you’re good to go.
by the time you break his tracks or barrel, if you have the right perks ( aka faster repair & fast leaving the vehicle ) , you can fix the breach by standing in the back of the turret in less than 4s
which in those 4 seconds you still have to close the distance and considering that US only gets putted in the new battle of the bulge… good luck.
you can’t simply do it.
( at least, the sherman 76 ( more roundy one ) and sherman fireflys are simply unable to even damage the barrel from various angles unless you’re 10 feets away )
You were the one that came with history so what do you want? History isnt only about armor and pen values and armor quality.
