Saying this is not a bug is lazy develpoment!!!
Rank system is already in place yet it is not used for anything at all.
The only reasons I can think of is an unbalanced shxt show will make people buy squads thinking it is the answer.
The other reason to not balance matches is developer being lazy.
There is no fun in steamrolling a team of new people causing them to quit the game.
Leaving vets to stomp noobs and cry about bad teams then turn around and trash talk noobs for trying to learn.
Not to mention the plauge that is people quitting mid match or even right as the match starts.
Why would they do that?
BECAUSE THE TEAMS ARE UNBALANCED!!!
Will repost until a change is made as it is ruining the game for every new player!!!

Well, I would be in agreement that DF needs to do some work on match making. The best as far as getting people playing against with somewhat equal weapons is a 0/0, but DF will never go for that, so we’re stuck with a 1/1 which is not optimal, but ok. They need to shit can the soft rule because that is just a seal clubbing waiting to happen.
Rank…Rank is not a great indication of a players skill, as it really only indicates that a person has played enough to obtain a high rank. Crappy players playing on good teams will climb the ranks fast. 
Stacked teams and players not playing the objectives make the most difference in games I play. Personally, I am all for people playing together, but I think it should be in custom matches only, and there is nothing you can do about selfish players not playing for team objectives, other then praying they’re not on your team.
People getting clubbed are going to desert, there is nothing in place to keep them from doing it. Do I blame them, no, DF could give people more incentives to stick around and be someone else’s cannon fodder, but they’ve done nothing so it will continue. I desert, when I load up my level three Allies and get a level five match against the Japanese, I say Sayonara, and change to my German faction. 
What are you on about?
Well yeah, it doesn’t mean anything
Nope. No Preemie Squad is significantly better than a TT Squad
What exactly are the developers to do about bad players?
Because they’re spineless scum
Calm down. Your teammates sucking some off ain’t the worst thing in the world. You’re already coddled as is. Just change your region server or your faction and it’ll be fine
As long as matchmaking is only based on weapons you’ll never get even teams.
One team of noobs can only field lowest tier soldiers and won’t have upgraded their squads, their weapons or their soldiers. 3 soldiers in a squad with no perks.
Another team of veterans can field highest tier of soldiers, squad fully upgraded, weapons fully upgraded. 6-9 soldiers in squad with all perks.
Both wield BR 2 weapons and as such are counted as equal.
And then there are the players who buy premium squads with even better gear. Shoot faster, less recoil ect.
If matchmaking was based on number of soldiers, tier of soldiers, amount of perks, weapon upgrades etc. matches could be more equal. As it is you can only hope that your team consists of more veterans than noobs.
Saying that players that quit because they get steamrolled are spineless scum is downright arrogant!
