Soviet Paratroopers are causing HAVOC in 1-3 tiers

Do they? with which ones?

If you mean the Red Devils which have Lee snipers and Bren that are tier 3 while being tier 2…

It’s really not as bad as pps43 at tier 2, eh.

But yes, they could be tier 3 instead of 2. No squad should bypass this br system. It’s a bad system, at least it should be implemented correctly.

The reports that are coming out right now they’re invading BR1 and slaughtering the new players with those toys

Oh my!

“The reports!”

I’m sure it’s true and will need some sort of update but it wasn’t true in the past 24H yet you squawk like it’s a months-long issue.

Is it worse than facing 6 KT2 in a match? Along with 2 Dicker Max and a total of 15 tanks, only 2 of which were lower than Panther?

I doubt it.

But I do want the new player experience to be good and if we have BR then paratroopers should follow.

Just… less drama.

The new players are the future of this game they should not be harassing them they should be poking around BR3 in two not one

Im pretty sure whats in the crate is not attached to the paratrooper itself, and more based on what the maps has set to show in the crate when it spawns in…(or at least its possible to determine it this way)

I have seen mods that change the crate contents when you bring the squad to their map.

Could fix it that way (differents maps/campaign different kit)

Plenty of German players rolling BR3 to bring their PZ4J and MG34 into new player matches too. I see it all day. The same players again and again. I bet they bail if the get up-tiered.

The grass isn’t always greener.

That may be true but this whole weapon selection so you can’t get into certain BR it’s been made redundant when you look at the Soviet paratroopers

Either way, it’s attached to the squad…

For the same reason a tank squad calculate the br with both the tank AND the small arms, para squads should take into account crate weapons and personal arms.

I just don’t believe devs got lazy, but it was in fact intentional. They knew about equipment from crates, because they ruined Italian paras for this exact reason.

Which I find really disgusting. There’s better ways to balance out factions population, we proposed many and highlighted the problems over the years:

  • ranks break balance. they create rank farmers converging in trendy factions.
  • No incentive to remain in losing matches, thus going to chose most popular faction often

Instead, they allow blatant bias to run for a time. They WILL fix it for sure… after enough ppl converged back to the biased faction.

It’s such a gross way to balance… while avoiding core issues. it’s very crass behaviour from devs, and those supporting them.

So why don’t you play soviets and US ? The famous sweat lords of the end game you were so afraid off before the merge are only playing germans right now. Must be convenient for a german main right?

And that needs to be fixed. It wasn’t a big issue in the past ~24H but I suspect it will be soon.

It needs to be fixed.

But - don’t tie this into your “Germany is a victim” thing. Germans have been CRUSHING in hgith BR and fine in low BR.

So, if .001 seconds into that being untrue you play the victim card? Then you are a #$&!%.

I do not have the spare silver to burn and I’ve already had to make two accounts and if I want to kill Americans I’d rather they bring out a campaign where I can play as the Soviets to kill the Americans

Again reminds me of Heroes and Generals.

They are the victims as long as certain mechanics in this game are not fixed or just ignored and if we get to steam these problems will get much worse

It is attached at the moment. Im just saying the map config can over write the unit when it spawns in.

But anyway. Curious to see how long all this goes on

I’m pretty certain what I’ve said will just happen.

Will be fixed AFTER enough blokes have converged back to the less popular faction.

Just like Italy when it got event Breda, and gold Breda plus flame paras.

Still, it proves devs are quite horrible at “PR” and at solving core issues, by allowing stuff like this to happen.

I repeat - we need such a solution to the problem.
Then there will be no need to create topics about “cutting” Soviet paratroopers.
The parachutists’ box is a common problem, Americans can’t use the m9 bazooka, Germans can’t put the Panzerfaust 100.

Wow imagine having a 90% winrate but you are the “victim”. I would love to be that kind of victim honestly.

Anyway, enjoy your botfarm mate.

It should depend on the br weapons in the crate, not the map.
The developer doesn’t change tiger 2 to pz4 and is2 to sq1 because of the map.

Unfortunately I lost in Normandy on br3, now my winrate is only 98.7%…
I’m sad, the allies are too strong

It should, but wont work for the special gimmick on the soviets. (Or make it a pretty pointless)

Hence the based on map suggestion. Then soviets can still go where they please, and folgore wont be held hostage by the flamer

Its only one suggestion. The other obvious one would be customisable crates
