Bruh, custom match can earn full XP as long as there is enough people. You don’t know how custom match works?
i would rather have soft veto map system. that way you have higher chance of playing specific campaign/map/mode that you have not banned. BR is needed cause campaigns now are unbalanced. like i said before first 20 levels are fun and balanced, but almost everything 20+ is unbalanced compared to earlier weapons.
do we need 10 weapon levels? no and most probably we will never even have strict tier division cause there are just not enough players per minute to populate every tier even with all campaigns and players merged. at peak hour we get ~22k non unique players for all 3 servers on crossplay on. so that is around 7300 players per server. if we have equal distribution on all 4 sides (which will never happen), you get 1833 players per server per side in peak hour. if we take into account that maximum time for MM is 90 seconds, that means we get around 45 players per side for every match. to have strict MM ±0 we need 100 players perfectly distributed along tiers, for MM ±1 we need 50 players perfectly distributed, for ±2 MM we need 33 players perfectly distributed.
so you can still get wide weapon distribution in game depending on server and time of day you play.

With Italian markings. Meanwhile in the game an Italian fighter squad can fly an Fw 190 (which Italy never used btw.) in this oh so Italian camouflage:
As a torpedo boat squadron on the Lake Ladoga…
I think you meant Stalingrad. Where they fought as Italian units, similar to the British Expeditionary Force in France. So they should be represented as a separate faction.
Obviously they did, Germans used a ton of captured weapon, there’s even a Wikipedia list of all the known designations: German designations of foreign firearms in World War II - Wikipedia.
That’s why I’m not against stuff like the Gew 33/40(t), MP 717(r) or the MP 739(i) (German designation for the Beretta Mod. 38). What I am against is pointless mixing of all the squads and weapons that can vaguely be characterized as “Axis” - Germans shouldn’t be able to use the Armaguerra, Americans shouldn’t be able to use the Boys or SMLE.
So what?
Hold up.
What are you arguing for here? Because if the part about “half of the British weapons being American” was an argument for the British and Americans having the same tech tree, then the part about Lend-Lease is an argument for what? For Soviets being in the Western Allies tech tree as well? Because now I’m really confused.

FOR JAPAN: Please introduce the Type Hei Rifle Extended into the regular tree, and refund the gold weapon orders to anyone who purchased it. It syncs up very well with other factions regular semi-autos and gives Japan another option besides the Garand clone. Also, reverse Type Hei and Type Otsu; there is no reason I am aware of to ever use the Otsu.

Fedorov Avtomat is a tier 10 weapon, this one is a major mistake. PPSh should be tier 9 and PPD40 tier 8. All three of these guns play completely different but the Avtomat is absolutely tier 10 with it’s ROF/damage/recoil. Most of the other things are minor moves in comparison to this.

Not sure how tiers are going to work for Tankers - will a PzII be pushed to tier 8 just because 1 lone crew member have slightly faster gear shift speed from perk?
If I want to continue using Tanker III squad from Tunisia, for example, its Pz IVF2 will be sent against Jumbos and T-34-85s?
I will give this new update a try but i have no high hopes of being blown away. I honestly see myself uninstalling off the Xbox a few days after release due in part to the way i like to play vs the new system. I wish it wasn’t the case but i see little alternative.
I have my squads geared to my play style and that way will scatter my squads all over the ranking system. Now i will be forced to change the gear and groups of said squads into saved presets so i can try to get maps and matches i want or only play Japan because they aren’t as affected. This sucks for me.

i have not even commented on spreadsheet.
division of weapons is terrible. serial progression is stupid for same level. have those levels branch out in parallel if they are on same level
why is carcano m41 and mod 38 level stronger than kar98k? they have lower damage, ROF and worse dispersion. recoil doesnt matter for BA rifles. same with carcano 1891 that is 3 levels higher than kar98k.
also prewar kar98k that has just 10% better ROF and reload with worse sight is 3 levels higher than kar98k. it is at best 1 level higher.
BA rifles (without GL) are mostly sidegrades and they should not be above tier 3.
BA rifles with GL could go up to t4 or t5 and should be removed from sniper tree
SA rifles should start with t4 or t5 depending on how good/bad they are.
sniper rifles… BA snipers should be up to t3 or t4. SA sniper rifles should start at t4 or t5
smg should start at t3 or t4. lot of them are just sidegrades
shotguns are just shit… you could put them to t1 or t2 and nobody would care. would also move them from smg tree.
remove mortar and flamethrowers from AT weapons tree. put them in later tiers and have people spend silver/xp to unlock them.
split attackers and fighters from same tree.
tanks should branch into light/medium/heavy tree
pistols should be max t3.

Or make them separate all along.
perks will not affect tiers. only if you use tanker 3 in pz2 will you be moved up tier.
well that is what i was thinking… separate, just that they start in later tiers.
Lots of soviet bias in this “tree”, lol

My only request is to use the level based matchmaking for beginners only, as I think it is important to get an advantage by leveling up.
In addition, it is unfair to the players who did not get this matchmaking and now can no longer use their hard-earned advantage.
My suggestion would be that one opposes each individual player an equally strong player to have on average a fair round

That’s what I’m confused about. Is ‘+45% speed of gear shift’ and some more mobility points are such a huge advantage? Even with future perk rework, I don’t see much need for leveling Tanker of any tier other than 1st.
Guess it’s a good thing I’ve saved my maxed Tanker 1 crews instead of replacing them.
For me put the fedorov behind ppd is no sense as the rd44 at tier 9 also the m9 bazooka at tier 6??? Idk
not really. i think that this is mostly measure for stopping veterans to spam squads, like 3 assaulter squads. also you get slightly more stat points with higher leveled squad which translate into marginally better soldier.
btw i am not certain how they implemented this in game. is it per squad basis or per soldier basis? if it is just per squad basis you could easily have assaulters 1 squad full of assaulter 4 soldiers.
But we have like at least three assaulters squads per type anyway
About pistols…
Why is the Tokarev (TT) tier 5, but the p38 tier 3? (And luger tier 5???)
You devs must really condense some things in the same tiers. There’s no reason to spread those out…
Only smgs, lmgs tanks and planes require such spread.

I’m not going to talk to you because it’s pointless.
If you don’t see Allied-made equipment in the Soviets, there’s no reason to talk to you and your historical knowledge.
