My thought on the Panzer 3N changes

At first I want to say that I love the change they did to the 3N.

While they moved it up a BR which would make it kinda useless if unchanged, they did replace the ammo with the new HEAT making it probably still one of the best options to use for BR 3.
But then again retaining the APHE in an BR 3 enviroment (meaning you wont pen shit with it) is on odd decision when the biggest problem of the 3N was the ammo capacity.

But then I also hate how the axis BR 2 lineup was gutted at the same time USSR and the allies recieved huge buffs in the same bracket.
USSR gets another SMG to rival the PPS 42 and 43 which already are better than the axis counterparts
but also now get BR 2 semi auto rifles with higher damage than even the BR 3 semi auto rifles and even more so than the low damage amaguerra in BR 2.

The allies recieve the thompson which is also stronger than the axis ones.

So what is left in BR 2 germany?
SMG that are underpowered.
A semiauto that now also get powercreept hard.
Tanks that are kinda average at best, now that the 3N was moved.
The only saving grace the german faction has in that BR is the MG but MGs suffer from so much dispersion on the move that they cant win games on their own.

So why should anyone want to continue to play germany in BR 2?

So if the intention was to nerf the tanks a bit they could still move the 3N into BR 3. But then give the 4E some of the old HEAT. Without the HEAT that tank is useless once other tanks show up which would be a no go if tank are the only thing saving the faction from beeing overrun by superior small arms.
The armor and mobility on the tank is significantly worse so the powerlevel of the german tank would still be worse than before but still at an useable level.

Giving PzIV.F1 several old HEAT or move PzIV.F2 to BR2.

maybe they will do something for fill them up xD

i wonder how they think we can win games when you are super slow while running with it, you can’t react fast to overpowered soviet/american smgs that will be peeking through a window at point you want to capture. MG13 bounces all over the screen that gun is extremely overrated and it’s pain to use i would rather take VG2 or M93 and just kill everyone reliably in a single hit.
Smgs are all crap (unless you paid $$$ for PPS-43), tanks are all crap unless you have Stalingrad PZ3N or use Puma/pz3j1 against tanks (but then you won’t do anything against infantry as 50mm has pitiful HE tnt filler), you only have IAR to support you from above.
It’s now a severely handicapped nation that can’t stand up from it’s knees and begs Gaijin for mercy to give them something good for once.
And every time Snail listens it also asks German believer to send him money and he shall receive power of other nations in form of - MP18, MAS-38, Stalingrad PZ3N and PPS-43. :snail: :rightwards_hand: :credit_card: :moneybag: f2p players? Who cares about them you are nothing but a punching bags for USSR/US.

Well, the result is easy to predict.
It’s Stalingrad and Tunisia all over again.
Also, Stalingrad Pz3 N remains unchanged and Suomi gets downtier, but no change to other TT guns and vehicles. So it basically means only veterans can enjoy playing German br2 which is the very opposite of how the balance of low br should be.

Until they get frustrated with needing to carry bots (or clueless players that are worse) all the time

can’t wait to disassemble pig3N with Kv1,pf60
5/5 :star: update

When they have new HEAT and BR3 Pz4H? I don’t think Sov BR3 will be better but BR2 will be strong.
