Tier 3 is better pps43 and winchester/m38
Why the German tech tree is richer than other countries? Please add more items from other countries. Please add UK and Italy tech trees into the game.

Still, the “best counterpart” to the pps, is the mp40 (which I find inferior to pps). And mp40 is tier 6. Because…

I’ve said this before, the Universal Tech Tree in theory is very good because many players always complained about unlocking the same things in campaigns, the universal match making is good for keeping all players together as well as letting you experience all maps because let’s be honest we all have certain campaigns we barely play, but now we get to experience these locales. These are both two great steps in the right direction
But the Battle Rating is convoluted, messy, and controversial
I think they should release the Tech Tree and Matchmaking AND NOT the Battle Rating system for now so we can see how it feels. I’m sure many of us thought the campaign system itself wasn’t an issue, just that it separated too many players and was cumbersome.

It’s just showing it’s rank, it will still be unique.
It’s a WIP image and it’s not final.
The PPSH 41 and Federov Avtomat should switch places

It’s one of my points for my suggestion post.
Why does every tier, contains MAXIMUM 2 of the same type of weapon?
It artificially spreads bolt actions up to tier 6, just cause there’s many models. But they more or less all behave the same and would all fit well in the 2 or 3 first tiers
Same for some smgs. Mp40 is pushed up to tier 6 cause there’s many weaker models before. But no way I’ll believe pps42 and pps43 are worse weapons than mp40. Yet they are thier 2 and 3 respectively.
They should condense weaponry more in tiers. The present iteration of br table, makes no sense.

Lest add more salt, soviet get assault rifle wen german get the mp40
For me, it seems idealistic to have an average battle rating for this game (idk if the developers would implement it into this game or talk about it in Q/A) because having different tiers sections will make it complicated for developers if they want to add an early or late weapon into this game.
I’m no history guy, but let’s say the Soviets have many rifles in early ww2 and the developers are planning all rifles into this game, however, all the lower tier sections are filled up, and the developers will have no choice but to either remove them or put them into later tiers( not very possible). This will make things complicated and some decisions will make controversial for players. Also, the progression system picture in this post seems complicated for new players. However, if we have the average battle rating, not only will be easy for developers but for us since we need to worry about the battle rating of each weapon.
If you have one soldier with stg44, while the rest have kar 98k, doesn’t mean you have to play other players with full stg44 squads. Instead, the match will combine players with the same average battle rating.

I’m talking about giving us what we have now in customs, I know some of the pop will play this new pooled MM mode, but I my clan probably would prefer campaigns and HA, we also don’t want to sweat all the time, anyways you will see soon enough…
it was an issue. every time you started a new grind you were faced against veterans with end game equipment. i hated grinding americans normandy when you had all axis mains there. take stuart and just watch tiger one shot me on d-day. take boltie, kill few players, someone mows my team down with mp43 or mg34/42.
i could somewhat compensate cause i was veteran, but it still annoyed me. newbies are just seal clubbed. overall campaigns are balanced with some 20 levels and totally unbalanced with 30+
you would want merge without battle rating? you would get pz2 vs IS2, t60 vs tiger 2 etc.
or no merge? merge is necessary cause we have ~40% bots entering match and over 50% bots finishing average match.
didnt they say that people will get HA in customs? so you can make whatever you want in there with whatever limitations you make.
I was hopeful, but now… That this mess was even considered, worries me.
Ratings for individual pieces of gear based on what it can actually do instead of dragging gear up and down to fill gaps in your table. Ratings for soldier type? Ridiculous. Ratings for Ammo pouches and Backpacks? No anti-tank explosives at the bottom? What the hell are you smoking?

Customs without XP will be a ghost town, we need confirmation that custom modes will earn XP or nobody will play there.
Well one way this could’ve been done is just have campaigns remain in that specific content is locked to it, and matchmaking will just have every single “campaign” in the pool.
In fact I had a post that gives one possible solution

Need to collect opinions and make some real change…not a well prepared dev anyway, disapointed about it. 
And I strongly suggest to enable Johnson LMG for all infantries, and lower M2 Carbine to 8-9 tier. This is vital for US players.
