hi there, I will open up and say this now I genuinely really enjoy this game, and have played a fair amount now. I haven’t put much money into the game and managed to get a decent campaign level on 2 campaigns. however on my favourite and most played (battle of berlin) the balance issue between 1. the German and Russians is blatantly biased to the Germans in a lot of ways. and 2. a lot of people on both Russian and German teams have purchased squads with automatic weapons, which for the most part black and white performance wise, almost always these people top leader boards, and win games. I am often top of scoreboard on games consistently and still loose most my games. the Germans may have a worse starter tank with an outrageous one hit kill spot, but almost all their other vehicles can easily take on Russian equivalents in one on ones and win every time. in addition there are no limits or caps on what kind of tanks can be spawned for examply most russian players will only have access to t34-85s and equivalents for most of their campain, and will often only have these to spawn, however often im seeing germans have 2 king tigers just camp tank spawn on a lot invasion maps without any way to flank or evade them. the panther alone is extremely well protected and can easily pen the front of the t34 in most cases. in addition german forces need their mgs nerfed and capped for how many they can have in a squad (which should equally also apply to russians) as they have near 0 recoil, and seem to be one per man in some squads ive seen, and absouloutley desimate russian sqauds and can become very difficult to counter. i understand maybe more people online lean more towards playing germany and not russia, which may also effect how balancedd a game is, but equally they will push people away from the game if it continues as people get shredded just trying to have fun, and then wont come back ive had 6 friends try this game and none enjoyed it because their first experiances are just getting annihlated by pay to win squads equipped with fundementally better gear or tanks that outmatch theirs by both power and protection. like i say the game is fun, but needs some refinement. in addition off this topic, but the 6 different campaigns is honestly beyond annoying, it should just be done tiered like warthunder with a BR or some sort of universal upgrade tree. or go back to the days of red orcherstra which was an amazing game similar to this except balanced.
That’s your answer in a nutshell. The soviets in Berlin have some if the best equipment in the game, it’s just that there’s nobody there to use it. Instead it’s all high level German players spamming endless tiger 2s and assault squads
Unfortunately for Berlin, your allies are all bots. Germans get near full player teams. Therein lies the issue. Not “pay to win” strats. Honestly? Try a different campaign. I prefer the more open maps of Moscow and Normandy anyways and both of these campaigns are well balanced with players on both sides usually. I know I’ve had my share of L’s trying to destroy some Krauts with .45 and with Soviet Bullet Hoses, but I do mainly win my matches. So there are players on both sides. Unlike Berlin where the Krauts are merely bot farming
Yeah biased to German, this guy is funny
Hello? The soviet fleed to other campaign because they can’t stand losing to actual player without a playerbase in Berlin, and trust me they have way too much handholding in this campaign more than any other faction in other campaign, and still no soviet player want to stay
Some mgs are literal assault rifles in this game, witch is absurd, browning especially is a reskinned m16.
Where did I say it was biased?
Pretty sure I didn’t tag you but the OG guy posted this topic
Oohhh sorry, you commented immediately after me and I thought you were talking bout me. My bad
Which one? Theres multiple Browning weapons and none of them resemble the M16 in any way.
yeah its what im most commonly seeing, im just wandering why people want to play as them more specifically what draws them to that faction more than the russians. usually its pretty even. saying that i am seeing more IS-2s and higher level players start to join 
so is that why all the Germans hang around to fight bots in the berlin campaign, equally for the same reason? Also in what sense do you mean handholding so to speak in what way are they hand held?
i find the MG 42/34s to be especially frustrating to play against, as well as the mg emplacement varient to their like lasers.
i would try a different campaign but the grind in this game is unreal, and as I’ve dropped money in the Russians already its a hard sell to invest so many hours again, even with premium, do love the Moscow campaign very good maps on their in my opinion and tanks dominating aren’t really that common in my opinion either. I think bottom line is i picked the wrong campaign to invest in 
Pretty sure the germans are everywhere but Tunisia
Having the best starter gear, faster cap spped and ticket recovery, better progression, captured Panzerfaust to deal with amy tanks, post war weapons and weapons that never reached Berlin as normal unlock
Guess that’s not enough for the soviet to stay
I was talking performance wise is an m16 with a ww2 weapon skin, the browning 1918a2
If the carried ones had the requirement of begin placed for the performance they have would be understandable. MG emplacement is pretty vulnerable so altought annoying is noting ridicoulus in comparison.
Well, the upcoming merge is SUPPOSED to fix some of those issues, but yeah I get wanting to stay where you’ve already invested
Good luck man, hope ya have fun
thank you mate since then started tunisia love it been a great change paratroopers are sort of annoying but otherwise love it!
Fled*
Russian MPs in Stalingrad campaign with insane RPM and 70 rounds mags. You just mow the enemy squad down, there is no recoil no skill involved and the range on these is insane. Also the damage per bullet is crazy high. It’s not even fun to play with it. You only die if you run out of bullets
