The game says that as BR I i can only play BR I-II enemies … what is this bug that i ended up playing with BR I against BR III Shermans , Brownings, an Thompsons ?

Classic rules = BR 1-3 + BR 3-5.

Can you send a screenshot?
In my experiences, I’ve mostly had this with my Japan Squads. I’m not too far in my Japan TT so I always play BRI Japan until I get more squads upgraded and get better weapons. However, this comes with the caveat of getting UP tiered to BRIII matches where I am one of the best on my team with BRI weaponry (which almost always equals slaughter). How about anyone else? I just feel like there is such a LOW amount of people playing Japan that it’s almost always up tiered/down tiered (I, as I’ve stated in most of my posts, almost always choose the “any army” feature for the extra XP and I feel like it brings more variety to the game). How about anyone else who feels this ways? Japan just NEEDS more love from either the TT, better low tier weaponry, or new maps/campaigns for the pacific theater.
Im only playing Germans and US. US hardly gets up or downtiered, i play BR II there and it is almost allways against BR II Germany. But as Germany i run into BR III alies and Soviets from time to time. In Infantry vs Infantry it is not so bad … but BR I AT weapons are absolutely useless vs BR III tanks, and it is really annoying to see a BR III tank singlehandedly win the game, since our side has no counterplay against it.

Grind a plane with a half decent bomb. That’s your best countermeasure regardless of any and all circumstances

- Use a plane
- Use kamikaze plane if skill issue
Potez and IAR-81C are BR 1 planes with 200 and 250 kg bombs.

I will give it a try … but as an F2P it means i need to drop the tank slot for plane 
Is your tank doing any work for you?
This might help!

Couple points here.

That shouldn’t be the answer. (I’m not saying it’s NOT the answer, it just shouldn’t be.) Taking some meta-game strategy is not a fix. It’s still a broken portion of this game where something that’s anachronistic (suiciding planes - even Japan did that only at the end of the war and they were trading planes for battleships and carriers, not frickin TANKS) and saying that’s the solution. (And no, you aren’t the only person saying that, just the person I’m responding to at the moment.)

It doesn’t always work. A T-34, like I faced last night, is FAST. A good tank player can dodge planes. (I’ve done it myself in BR2 tanks.) And once dodged, it’s gonna be a bit before another one shows up. And, a lot of Russian maps have trees and whatnot making it harder to target a tank that way.
And that same T-34 was one and two shotting even the best BR2 tanks. It’s frickin cheesy.
I wish the BR2 and BR3 weren’t in the same matches. BR1 & BR2 aren’t that much of a difference (and with the recent changes, you can get to BR 2 in a dozen matches.) And BR3 & BR4 are fair and BR4/BR5 are competitive. Just seems this game has a huge line between BR2 and BR3 and is something that needs to be addressed.
The one good thing so far - is that it’s not every match, not even close. It’s enough to be annoying, but not enough to be unplayable.
Oh okay so it is only making the BR I vs BR III MM if there is not enough players to make a normal game.
Does it mean that only BR I and BR III can face +2 ? Or BR II can also face BR IV ?
Well for Allies not so much … but with them i nearly never face BR III even with my BR II line-up, its allmost always BR II Germany who i fight.
With the Germans, the PZ III J actually does a very good job in its own MM range, the HE is pretty good to wipe infantry with it & it can take tanks like the Stuarts, Crusaders or T-70, T-50s out pretty well. But yeah if i end up in a game vs BR III the T-34s and Shermans just soo much better than an early PZ III that they make them useless so when its BR I vs BR III i just spawn infantry.
BR II can’t face BR IV

It’s not a “meta game strategy”
It’s THE hard counter. AT Weapons need to either be close enough or hit the right spot or just flat out can’t. Tanks and AT Guns need the right shell coming out of the right cannon at the right spot. Not always the best option. Bombs? Yeah those’ll kill a tank. End of story
When did I say suicide bomb? Where is the word “suicide” mentioned in my comment? Suiciders are unskilled idiots
Then that’s a smart tanker. Tanks live or die by their mobility in Enlisted. If you miss, try again. Eventually, the terrain WILL screw them. Don’t let one or two missed bombing runs be an excuse
Use the Pz III N
I still need to grind a few things like the MP 38 at least to get proper gear for BR II, but yeah i cant wait to get a Pz III N. Probably by the weekend i will have a decent set of BR II weapons and start using that over BR I.

Oh okay so BR II is the go for BR unless i want to play IV or V and not face +2.
So the hard rule seems to be I-II, II-III, and III-V. Used to just be I-III and III-V. There’s a soft rule that will pair like and like as much as possible
Now, new players belong in BR II. That’s just how it is. It doesn’t matter if you’re going into High Tier with full BR III, full V, or full II with one semi auto bringing you into III-V, you’re not ready for it. High Tier needs more skill and experience than grinding to BR III gives you, and honestly the recent research changes just made that infinitely worse. It’s a sweatfest and everything everyone doesn’t like about the game is spammed all over the place. It’s flat out not fun sometimes. So, stick to BR II till you think you’re ready to move into High Tier. It’s much more enjoyable if you think/know you can handle the pain that stands before you
