The matches at BR1-2 seem to be ok for me, sure you get the odd BR 3 thrown in there but it tends not to make much of a difference if you brought the counters, such as a good attacker, tank, AA engineer, or AT squad.
Then again, a new player still has to grind quite a ways to get a good attacker to counter certain BR 3 vehicles, so their best hope is maxing out an engineer squad asap.
I also am a poor MF’r, I got like three of the higher BR weapons per faction, no where near enough to play BR 3 and higher competitively.
A lot of people, including myself, have mentioned the fact the battle rating one and two can be thrown into the deep end and find themselves facing four and five…
I took these guys into action and wound up facing allied paratroopers and late war armor, hopefully this is just some sort of bug
They need to buff Axis weapons to have fair matches, right now pps-43+WINchester completely stomps Axis teams with just inferior FNAB/KAR-98k, and PPSH-41 box is even more powerful (with just buffed burst firing for no reason) mp40 can’t compete against even BR2. USA also has better guns at BR2 and BR3. So what’s the point of playing low-mid BR Axis? I won’t even bother Axis is only high BR faction to me post merge.
Well, I think the idea here is given the current situation. Why would anybody set up a lower level battle rating if you’re gonna get thrown into the deep end and fight higher end equipment, which basically makes it pointless to use any of that lower end equipment unless you’re just doing it for giggles, the meta would be just to use the highest possible battle rating equipment you can, because no matter what you do, you’re gonna wind up facing BR4&5.
Supposedly the whole idea behind this complete revamp was because people were totally hung up on the idea that the equipment made a big difference, personally I wasn’t one of those people I didn’t care what the equipment was I think it really comes down to the guy that’s using it more than anything else but people couldn’t get past that so supposedly that’s why they did this entire revamping of the system, but it looks like at the face of it. It’s kind of pointless, because no matter what it’s the same the only difference is, we’ve lost the historical immersion that we had. And even that was really kind of ridiculous for the most part but now it’s completely nuts….
