Mid Tier Weapons - Balancing the New System

At the moment one of the main problems is some of the weapons in very middle of tech tree can drag you into the highest tiers.

For example the MP40 which is a very decent gun but is decidedly average in this game however if I equip it then I can be sent to all all campaigns - that’s a problem

Instead why not have T3 weapons just open you up to Moscow, Tunisia and Stalingrad.

Because at the moment there is no mid tier because of this.

For new players when they unlock MP40 they can get dragged into Berlin or Normandy because of it and get severely outgunned and as a veteran I wouldn’t have equipped a mp40 if I wanted to go to Berlin I’d have taken an STG.

Please give more care to the weapons tiering and maps if we are sticking to this system and allow people to exclude high tier if they are using mid tier equipment.

Also I’m not saying you can’t use an MP40 in Berlin or Normandy - I’m saying it shouldn’t open you those maps for you if that is highest tier if that is your highest level of equipment.

It seems to me they are better off dividing players by skill or rank rather than what gear they have

Because why would it be a problem if the MP 40, Germany’s standard issue SMG, is in every single battle

Skill based matchmaking is not a popular opinion and rank means nothing in this game.

What I’m saying is:

You can use MP40 anywhere but it should not drag you into the highest tier of battles unwillingly.

If you wanted to use a MP 40 on some guys in Berlin just give one guy an STG or equip a Tiger and you can take the MP 40 to Berlin. What I’m saying is give people the choice of where they go depending on what they equip because at the moment if I equip the MP40 I can’t NOT go to Berlin and Normandy and face the highest tier stuff.

At the moment as soon as you hit T3 in most nations you can pretty much go anywhere and up against anything which isn’t balanced.

I would have preferred a BR system to be honest but this map preferred system can work with some tweaks to make the tiering more flexible so people have better choices over where they go because otherwise people will be so many desertions when people see a map they didn’t want to play vs gear they most likely don’t want to face.

I agree that this new system isn’t exactly perfect. I think it is slightly better than BR though. Still not the best

It’s funny I said back then that for all we know they were going to scrap BR and move onto some other new overhaul, and look where we are now. I wonder if they will move onto something else yet again

I hear you bro. I would have preferred a BR system as well or something similar that allows people to play at multiple tiers but with relatively equal levels of equipment at each tier.

However, we have to give constructive feedback that they can hopefully use to make positive changes to this system before it launches.
