Hi, whilst this is a step in the wrong direction, you will need to ignore WidowMaker, because bla bla bla.
“naysayers”? dude, people have opinions - imagine that!

boohoo you’re going to have Liu rifles and volkssturm guns there no matter what so you might as well just say screw it and have fun

the game has never been historically accurate, otherwise the game would be mostly bolt actions, nobody would be running and jumping around hipfiring machine guns, surviving intermediate caliber bullets to the chest, and so on
my forum account is older than yours, so im confident in saying that

I don’t care about historical accuracy, but Panther, KT, P47, etc. should not be in Tunisia and Moscow, infantry will not stand a chance there. (And this is about all the Tunisia and Moscow maps, all of them are ridiculously open and cannot be modified for BR5)
But I agree with adding Berlin to low BR.

Dunno.
The Panzer III B, the Madsen, the MP28, the BA-11, the Ross, the Bren Enfield PIAT Sten (for US troops) or Breda and Beretta M1918 for Normandy Germans or the outdated BAR models just to start with CBT stuff.
Why was it there to begin with if the game was made for Horse Accessoires ehh Historical Accuracy?
The fact that you still stay at this point says enough.
How long did the copium last? Until they added the F2 in Moscow? The Fedorov in Berlin? The Ofenrohr in Tunisia? Or were the M2 and the Jumbo in Normandy the breaking point?
Btw nice flag spam.

why not make BR5 specifically all maps, and in return make the other BRs even stricter with maps and HA settings? (as in Tunisia, Moscow, Stalingrad, Rezhev BR1-BR2, while BR3-BR4 will be Normandy, Belgium, Berlin)

I very much agree. Balance of br5 is a mess and need to be handled differently. A lot of maps need adjustments, and I very glad that there is another post to @SnowieW for map-related suggestions. Hope this is the start of a new series of qol improvements.
I do think the majority of the negative feedback is related to map design and weapon balance, not HA. And if we can’t balance HVAR spam, then it is time to limit cas. It’s not like Pacific maps are a safer place.
why specifically infantry tho? Panther has much worse anti infantry power than many low BR tanks.

Fun for me is authentic feeling battles with a good amount of suspension of disbelief.
“Prototypes”, “variety” and “free for all” is not my idea of fun.

dude, im sorry, but enlisted is never going to be “authentic”, so i’m not sure why you stick around and continuing to fight for a lost cause

Realistically, the only problem is Tunisia. This campaign should be limited to only one specific BR. Solely for the reason of having completely atrocious maps.
The HA argumentation in context of maps is long dead. We have literally more Volksturm stuff on low BRs than on high BRs.

Oh really? Panther has barely any tnt filler in his HE shell. At BR5 real problem are planes not tanks. In last match americans were constantly spamming their M2 Stingers, M2 Carbine, T20 and Hyde so we couldn’t take more than two points.
I was getting killed multiple times by some dude that built his AT gun on the side, infantry has way more advantage compared to tanks than you may expect.
Moscow is the same. So many open spaces ideal to built your upgraded AT gun and kill any tank to the side shot.
Moscow belongs at BR1-5, Tunisia should have BR1-4 matchmaking as BR5 guns are too overpowering there and there are not many flanking routes like with Moscow that was crated with PPSh-41, MG34 and AR spam in mind.

Well if that’s a good will question then here:
I started playing on day 1 of OBT and loved the Moscow experience as I’ve never gotten it in any other game.
Then came Berlin and Stalingrad.
Even though over the 4 years the Devs have actively pushed out players like me who got hooked with the initial pitch of the game as “healthy man’s BFV”, I sometimes still get those nice moments, and I wouldn’t want to lose them since there’s still no other game where I can defend Moscow outskirts in a T-34.

I never once claimed in that post that I wanted a totally historically accurate game. You seem to not understand what me and others want/expect from this game, despite it being written out in a variety of ways.
Are you seriously comparing forum account age now lol. Whether you are someone who signed up yesterday, or five centuries ago really has no bearing.

Opinions are welcomed, but the devs have literally just turned this on and people say no, have an open mind and see, yes you are right probably it is a wrong move, but my suggestion was to be more campaigns / map focused.
FYi I just got steam rolled on Moscow as Soviet BR4 against a KT which sat at back of map, only bombs helped them he was back again…
can we not have the previous option to simply pick campaigns …

When will be able to eat horses and rats for a total HA of Stalingrad? I would also add a pee/hunger meter to each soldier.

Technically they could open up maps we just select BR and map and hope never to see stuff we don’t want to, as we chose BR and map…

All maps for all BRs, huh? Wow, what a genius move to improve map variety! I mean, who needs actual new battlefields for low and high tiers when you can just throw Königstigers into Moscow and T-26s into Berlin? Brilliant. Truly inspired game design.
