Heres my take on this Excuse for a matchmaking system
If all my gear is BR1
And i wanna lets say play some ussr
I SHOULDNT HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST BF110
PANZER 4 J OR ANYTHING FROM BR 3
THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING BR 1 IF IT CHANGES NOTHING
THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!
Its funny because I don’t understand why anyone thinks this tank should be BR 4. The only arguments AGAINST it being put down to 3 are nonsensical and sound like salty whiny anti-germany players. It literally has no business being BR4, it does nothing in BR4!
I agree BR1 and 3 shouldn’t be matched in the current system but BR3 shouldn’t be matched against 5 either. They really need to either break it down further and add a BR6 that way it can be BR1-2 BR 2-3 BR 3-4 BR 4-5 and BR 5-6 unlike the current BR 1-3 and BR 3-5 nonsense we have now. Theres simply too much of a gap in tech right now.
I currently only play exclusively as a BR2 Germany because any time I put some BR3 gear in my lineup I end up facing BR5 players that I don’t have the tech tree unlocked for since I only recently returned to the game and BR4-5 feels like absolute cancer with the plane spam in an infantry game that has extremely limited AA options… Yet they give every single infantry squad member the ability to have an anti tank explosive pack AND Anti tank mine…and almost every squad can have a dedicated AT slot in it, lol.
there are reasons why it should be and why it shouldnt be in BR3 and BR4. also idk why you say it does nothing in BR4 when it can frontally pen all US and soviet tanks frontally from BR1 to BR5.
front pen in the tiniest machine gun port… not everyone that plays this game has memorized all weak points on tanks… get real. This tank sucks against even other BR3 tanks and dies extremely easy.
that is only for jumbo… rest can be normally penetrated either on turret or hull.
that is how any player that plays any tank against it on BR1-3 feels, not to mention there are tanks that cant pen it on those tiers. at least pz4 with long 75mm can penetrate all tanks on BR3-5
F2/G is literally the same as J and they are on BR3, just use those.
J should be on BR4 because it’s a last ditch late war model that belongs to late war setting.
1mm less? Add it in game values, for all I care.
It still plays identically against enemy tanks as J.
I am a Stalingrad access pack owner and I give my consent for G to be added to tech tree, if needed.
They all play identically against KV and T-34, don’t they?
In any case, regardless of any percentages or millimetres, as stated above the most important point is to not see last ditch (!) yellow (!) Pz J in early war maps.
This statement is not true. Panzer 4 f2 can be frontally penned almost anywhere with soviet 45mm which is the most common cannon in low br. Panzer 4j in the other hand cannot be penned that easily.
You will need to aim for the turret
Interesting. I never noticed any differences ingame during matches.
But well my personal take is that no matter the millimeters or degrees, if I was making a WW2 game and last ditch Pz IV J from 1944 appeared in Tunisia I would consider that a failure.
Yet another good reason for complete removal of Tunisia from the game.
Since we already have late war maps (Ardennes) in low BR queue. Moving Pz IV J up to high BR queue would be pointless.
