I’m uncertain of the precise cause—whether it’s tied to the player base, balancing issues, or another factor—but this trend has become apparent to me while playing across all three servers using different armies.
Japanese seldom lose a match, Germans emerge victorious most of the time, while the Russians and Allies rarely secure wins. This pattern persists across the EU, US, and RU servers.
If my assessment is incorrect, could you please inform me of any servers where maximizing squads, particularly for Russians and Allies, is still viable?
It’s the playerbase. A lot of them move like a horde of zombies from one faction to the next. Allies had em for a minute there, but then Japan got some new toys and we’re back to where we were immediately Post Merge. Bunch of newbs
no they have been, what you are noticing is bomb rushing and defenders not standing in the magic circle since i know japs have capped points very fast and same with germany in normandy
I think generally with Hei/Jap being broken strong, allies get beat up so fast that lots of players left them for the time being; that auto made axis the 2nd strongest nation + addition of very flex assault engineers last 2 weeks buffs them even more. Soviets are in their own box, more team dependent (which might get better with Soviet engineers coming next)
Long story short some potential nerfs for Jap or buffing allies would maybe help get the meta on the right level.
Darkflow has the dataset ofc; this is just personal observation + some team mates/reddit folks
Some statistics could give us the true answer, but I am pretty sure that the list of more wins by far are Japs then Germans then Allies and last Russians
After focusing on maxing my last few US squads over the past couple of weeks, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the only effective approach.
Otherwise, the rate of losses increases significantly, with many players not even participating actively. In most matches I’ve played, half of the team consistently ends up with fewer than 30 kills, with some appearing to be bots or completely inactive.
It’s as if the US faction has become analogous to the removed Italians in terms of struggling to secure victories. As you mentioned, success seems to be achievable only when teaming up with proactive players.
Recently, I’ve been attempting to optimize some Russian squads… Oh boy, it’s been quite the challenge! It seems like the odds are consistently against us. Whether it’s due to the skill level of the players or other factors, winning feels like a rare feat, especially when facing even moderately competent teams across all servers!
By far the worst in all servers this period. They cannot even win one match in RU server!
