Moscow campaign tremendously unbalanced

[暴風突撃銃45型]

If u want to play as Germany then come to Normandie, forget about Moscow and Berlin. Normandie = heaven for those who play as germany, and Moscow/Berlin = hell.

I’m over level 20 on both sides of the Moscow campaign, and I wouldn’t really say one has the advantage over the other.

Rifle wise, they are both fairly balanced, besides the Soviets Getting the SVT38 sniper earlier than the germans getting the G41. But their ammo level is trash and they don’t perform all that well.

SMG, Soviets are a clear winner on this, the PPD34/38 is absurdly good, compared to the lack luster MP28. The MP38 and 40 can hold their own, but the PPD is still much better.
Shotgun… the Toz-B is just… existant.

Machine guns… this is where the Germans shine, the MG13 and ZB26 are worlds ahead of the Madsen, that recoils like there’s no tomorrow, the DP-27 is alright, but the MG34 really takes the lead for the germans.

Mortars are equal, but the Russians randomly get another one, while the Germans get something else.
Flamethowers are equal.

I wouldnt say that there’s much difference really, some of the maps aren’t great, but usually its down to the team. We can win without sweating one match and then the next we are battered into submission.

From my point of view it depends on the use you make of it.
For cleaning rooms and for close defense of a cap point PPD is the best for sure.
Thx crazy rate of fire and drum magasine
But for aggressive progression and mid range fight MP machine guns are better.
Thx for better damages and accuracy (sniping the heads that stick out is really funny)

‎In the dance ekemper at 1 point, well done, well done. Is that skill called?) ‎
‎ In fact, the developers, pay attention to the side of the axis in the Moscow company, English-speaking players go to normandy to play, it’s your handiwork, the imbalance is, specifically in the fact that the union has better weapons, you also introduced the forestry industry, this card of the remaining players finished. Why does your game force me to play for the USSR so as not to be nervous? Do something with the Germans in the Moscow company, at the moment it changes the game, not for the better‎

Russia Relies too much on the PPD (everyone brings as many as they can). Yes its quite powerful, forgiving and easy to use (its a seal clubbers weapon). But its pretty easy to deal with.

If you catch them anywhere mid to long range they are free kills. Its quite easy to intercept entire squads in transit from spawning areas to objectives. Russian uniforms stand out like dogs nuts.

You can hear it a mile off (people aren’t shy to unload with what thing), which makes it easy to pinpoint their position. I have no issue storming a building with a kar98 knowing whats in there. If you aren’t good at shooting first in close combat, you use grenades.

The forum is janky as hell, I make this mistake all the time

But, I’ve started replacing the ppd with DP27s now, I find them much more useful.

[frootloopers]

Don’t forget about the planes. I’d say overall the German CAS is a lot better than the Soviet CAS. Germans focus on bombs, which are pretty powerful rn, whereas Soviet planes don’t even get access to bombs beyond 100 kg. And for some reason the Soviet Pe-3 bomber doesn’t even get bombs…

The PPD-40 is even better to the point that I replaced all PPD-34/38s with PPD-40 on my infantry assaulters. It’s faster rate of fire, more comfortable reload and better sights allow me to fight some LMGs as long as I shoot first or flanking while much better at cleaning rooms full of enemies too. Most of the time right now, it feels like I’m the only one who have PPD-40s on the entire team with 2 assault squads armed with them supported by SVTs.

Regarding the campaign itself, I see more Soviet teams lose in Conquest while for other modes, as long as no arty spam or planes dropping 250 kg bombs, pretty much equal.
