The BIG Berlin problem

Suggestions
41

The stuka is like at ~13 lvls, lvl 4 is the BF109 and La-5 for the Soviet. I can’t check it out now either but it’s at the same kvl as the IL-2 I think

As for the tanks
I never ever one-shot any T-34s from the front
But yes in the rear side turret
So when I played with the T-34, it really feels like easy mode watching the panzer explodes
I guess the tank damage models of the whole game needs further improvement anyway so maybe it will be fixed in the future

And for the MG34
Maybe just I suck at the game lmfao, and yes I do sometimes, it’s not usable for me in far range, but then I got killed very fast in close range, that’s why I don’t have a good impression on it. As for the walking shooting thingie, they said they will work on it then we can just wait

Panzerfausts don’t work for me : (
They just don’t do much damage sometimes
But I once tried one shotting a T-34 at 60m and that surprised me lol

But yeah, the early German balance problems will just let ppl like me complaining lol
But hey, the game is still in Beta, maybe we can wait and see what will be updated into it anyways. Also I feels like lone fighter is a lot better in terms of the whole balance thingie

Welp, sorry for being rude too
Just got a bit angry because I did suffer alot from the Soviet weapons XP

stuka is level 10

try aiming for ammo since it will usually do the trick as both panzerfausts are the same weapon

I might be a rare case, but, baretta m38 besides the fact that it’s a level 26 gun, it’s imo better than any pp gun.

And i know I play both sides now… Premium ppd it’s a good gun, but in my hand it’s far from a m38 baretta…

I might be a rare case, but I win most my axis games on Berlin (I quit pretty much all conquests tho, not interested in them, I have no fun playing them)

I gather the data, on a full day playing as my work computer renders my daily jobs, I win above 90% of my matches. And when I loose its pretty much lacking of human playerbase. Simply that. No weapon no plane no tank ill balance the lack of human players. No gadget ill balance this design concept. Get us humans vs humans only and then we might talk about weapon balance. Untill then, it’s 5k-10k base score per match just to farm a campaign in a week’s time(20k to 50 k with all the multiplications at the end) … Loosing or winning. At the end of the day, it’s a casual game with lack of human VS human and that alone will always unbalance the game

About balance… Lol. Players may cry about the plane bomb spam, when infact all of us ill gather more kills and xp inside a tank per minute played … And no one complains about it.
At the end of the day…
Not a single problem winning games as axis
Not a single one in soviet side. Imo, it’s balanced.

The problem isn’t the weapons. It’s rather the players or the lack of them in the campaign.

Bots filling games it’s just stupid. I rather wait a few minutes if I have a full human vs human battle. A human leaves? Queue another one. Not a bot.

As for the topic main issue. Mgs like mg34 with 75 ammo, are pure cqc weapons even hip firing, isn’t fun on the reciving end nor balanced. Fire on the move shall be revised. And I agree with it.

I m playing alieds on normandy after compleated the axis one, right now, and I m yet to see a battle that I complain about a balance issue. Yet not a single issue after all this months.

Playin’ reich chancellery. The best conquest map actually.
Bahnhof is actually good too.

I know they are. The 5 point one it’s actually a good one.

But at the end of the day, I want a challenging match. My competitive vain it’s always here.

Invasions gives me way more fun per time. I want to fell a challenge, but with a team besides me.
Playing one side or Conquest matches don’t give me nothing besides wasting time.
Conquests are way to boring for me to simply enjoy them. The end goal is the same-capture or defend a point. But I can’t simply have the mentality to enjoy them. I just quit on sight untill they (devs) give me the option to spend my time on the modes I want to play.

This.
There’s many, MANY games out here that will have something like a one minute timer in the beginning of the match, allowing more human players to join. Why don’t they implement such a simple feature here?
There’s been some cases of “muuuh I don’t wanna wait after ppl with potato computersss” but really those people whining about a proper human matching should simply be disregarded.
I’d rather wait 1 more minute and trully enjoy the next 10, than start right away and lose the 10 next minutes over a boring match.

At the day of the end I actually want to have fun, not to rage about retarded teammates.

We rather wait to have a team, than bots filling the slots.

That will be always the main reason on balance issues. Hopefully we see a Change here.

But also, instead of balancing the weapons
I think adding an advance matchmaking system also works

Take the player’s skill(level) or even campaign levels into consideration then put players with similar levels or put people with low campaign levels together might ease the problem

51

that might be an in issue because someone who has grinded all of the campaign for 1 side will face newbies when they decide play the otherside not to mention enlisted is kind of a casual game, though yeah i do agree this game needs an MM

Only if this game will ever have 10k+ online.

That’s funny, because I feel like Moscow is just abysmal. The whole campaign is just run, run, run, run, run, die. It’s just not fun, at all. There’s no room for thought or tactical maneuver on any of the maps. Normandy’s maps are much better suited for actual team play. Moscow’s maps are just awful, IMO. But, to each their own!

for the germans it gets better the higher your level gets. while for the soviets they are at their strongest around level 10 but drop off significantly in higher levels were their equipment simply does not get any better. atleast not compared to the Germans

From level 12 onwards as the Germans you finally get equipment that balances the playing field alot. Panther G is stronger then t-34-85 in every way. you can easely kill 6 T-34-85 per match with 1 panther G if you have any map knowledge at all. MG-42 is the next big game changer and gives you the most dominant MG in the game. with the FG-42 also waiting for you as the best allround weapon.

Just keep playing as the germans and the balance situation will solve itself over time.

Having played both I don’t think the problem lies in the weapons as much as the fact that points are capped very quickly meaning once a steamroll has started it is very hard to turn it around for the defenders. Germany defends more than the Soviets. For the assaulter balance, just give us the Stg 44 already.

If you only get put in matches with people at your level there’s no less incentive to progress meaning less incentive to buy premium account.

Played some more and my problems with the Soviet PPSh41 and DT-29 still stand.

Another team had a top tier player armed with all DT-29s and PPShs and raped our team.
They got 145 kills to 3 squad losses. the next person on their team got 31 kills.

If this isn’t an example of how 2 guns can carry an entire team, I don’t know what is.

58

was your team actually defending or just running out to get killed since that can be a large factor into large kills amounts, being in a tank and/or CAS is also a large factor for large kill games. though if you can get a team that can defend and get rally points up as well as getting defensive fortifications up then you’ll get close games or just outright win on the second point as seen here

So probably most experienced players got top of scoreboard. Is it some problem that people who have played tens or hundred hours in thar campaing get better score then people with low levels/hours?

After maxing both factions those are not any more problematic then mg34 , mg42 or fg 42

Next time use mg34 with trollpatrone magazine. Also how you know it is guns and not just more experinced players that seem to have finished that campaing? Ofcourse its obvious that they are not better cause otherwise you woulnt have made whole post about those 2 guns that carry entire soviet team

Cause german get advantage and are allowed to defend they need another advantage?

There’s no advantage in defending in this game. Attacking is easier.
