Moscow campaign tremendously unbalanced

This campaign is in favor of the Russians, that is more than obvious, it reaches a point that is practically unplayable on the German side.

The games do not even arrive at 10 minutes.

The Soviets have a lot of houses very close to the axis respawn point, making it super easy to defend and leaving little flanking margin for the other team.

Overall, the playing experience for the German team is pathetic, I have tried to play it 15 games or so as an axis and the vast majority are terrible. You can hardly even play.

I put this in the bugs report because the games are so ridiculous that it does not deserve or call it otherwise.

On the other hand, every time I plays as soviet, is a free stomp. I could go AFK and still win. How is it possible this campaign isn´t a bit, just a bit balanced? I dont get it. It´s like nobody tested some of the maps.

The invasion map with the castle is fine, its the only that seems ok and is also very fun. The new map I ahve only played it 1 time so dont have an opionion yet (still stomped as soviet)

WEll I wish you were on my team more often 'cos it doesn’t work like that for me.

My experience on that campaign is 180 degrees opposite - I play only as Germany and at no moment I felt that something is unbalanced there.
The only aswer is - you happend to have bad matches, but it doesn’t mean that the whole campaign is flawed.
If you want to give exact examples of said unbalance - feel free to do it. But without it your thread is just judging the whle campaign on your own experience. And as I and @Josephs_Piano already said - our experience is very different from yours.

If you read my post:

It´s not bad luck, I ahve played like 60 games in total on that campaign, as russians free win, as germans free lose most of the times.

Its like in normandy campaign, german is the favored but its not SO INSANE like in moscow

You didn’t mention any specific map. I can’t read your mind and guess on what map are those “houses near to the respawn point”.

which happened to me that i decided to try moscow again after the update ( basically yesterday ).

i can swear, that in 20 matches, i haven’t won even one…

i’m not sure it’s unbalance factor… but there is something wrong.

the upgradable AT literally killed the AT in the first place.
might be bad damage model that are already known… but it feel like a goddamn nailgun.

T50s rolling along side T20s while for the majority, players that i played with, have a merely PZ III B ( WHICH AGAIN, DELETE THIS TRASH FFS ).

i see that the russians have more equipment than the germans. and it gets harder for me to pregress when despite being first, i lack everything to deal with.

and maps, are tied to close quarters. which smgs dominate no matter which faction.
( outside the newer one )

i guess the problem has been like, people like me that abandoned moscow. while the majority of russian players didn’t.

What about the maps with houses near the axis respawn point? :thinking: I dont even know the name of the maps, but its not needed anyway. Just look the maps that have houses near the axis respawn

I dont think moscow favors any side.
When obt started i played soviets and won something like 80-90 % of matches

After getting max level as soviet and after changing to german, hardest battle task was those win x matches. German was losing almost every match.
Dont know what happened but before i changed to berlin i was campaing level 23 or so.ething like that and germany was winning 90% of matches

Today I had my first game with T-50 - and also the first time I saw P3J in same game - fortunately someone else killed it with explosives - I don’t think hte T-50 will be very good against it at least not from the front.

Yesterday was the first time I ever killed a Pz4E with a T-28 - a tank that Pz3B’s are perfectly capable of killing in return.

Your experience is not all that exists in the game.

Most maps have houses near respawn points so yes, the name of hte map is required! :confused:

There are 3 Invasion maps and 2 Assault maps where you can really talk about “Axis” and “Allies” spawn. Two of said Invasion maps can have both sides as attack and defenders.

You said that Monastery (big castle) map is fine, so we will not talk about it.
You also said that you still don’t have opinion on the new Forestery map, so will will not talk about it either.

What we are left with are:
-Vioskovo Village Invasion (both sides can attack and defend, so the map doesn’t strictly favour one side)
-Vioskowo Village Assault
-(something something) City Assault

None of them (maybe except City Assault on the later stages) has houses near Axis spawns and even if it has - defenders need to retreat from the dark zone, so they can not camp there forever.

Could this be a result of the German player base playing both Normandy and Moscow splitting the veteran German players against dedicated US and USSR players?

If problem is people who abandoned moscow why people who changed for soviet to germany dont share that ‘problem’?

There are some players here talking that they experience the opposit, germans usually wins. So perhaps the matchmaking is rigged? :joy:

The map that you have to defend A and B is very clear that the houses are very close to the axis respawn and soviets just respawn there so its from the min 0 , and there are other maps that soviets just control everything in literally 2 mins and camp you from the houses near axis respawn point. I will take a look at the names later

People really decide their faction when they buy a game and dont change it? Or how that ‘germany playerbase is split’ theory works in reality?

Then something really wierd must be going on, because for me and my friend last couple days are neverending series of Blitzkiregs - we are winning the matches sometimes so fast that we get almost one exp from that. And as far as I remember we are in the similar time zone (Europe), so that would not be the case.

I encountered only 2 T-50s for now and it is 2:0 for me (one from detpack, one from PzIV) - I’m yet to get my opinion about them. But I agree that T-28s can be painful to encounter.

There are very dedicated players that will not switch sides for sure. These are people who will max an entire campaign for one side only

I wouldn’t say that Germany usually wins - but they win often enough so it doesn’t help if I go AFK like this guy can! :wink:

nerver claimed that?.

i’m 100% your experience is different from mine.

killing a PZ III is not that hard, considering that the majority of german players do not know how angle panzers.

with the T50, you don’t have to be angled.

i somehow managed to kill the T50 gunner from the side with a pz III B. for than get blowed up by a friendly. which it was the only good thing that tank ever managed to do.

can’t stand this BS tbh good sir,

the PZ III B is by far one of the worst tank in the game.

it takes around 15 shots to just desotry a t60. angled or not, he can still pen you no matter what.

and more often i lose crew members because of t60s.

the only tanks that the PZ III B does not struggle, it’s against Bt7s, and t26s. but that’s about it.

comparing to the PZ II, it’s objectively worse.

doesn’t really matter if you have somewhat of a armor unlike the PZ II but it’s all pointless if you can’t furfill your primary job.

there’s nothing good with that tank, even if upgraded.

the only reason why people us it it’s for:

A. Meme around
B. You are stucked with it.
