I personally like chaotic matches. The most* fun period of my experience with this game was jumping into the Normandy Campaign for the first time late last June into rounds where everybody had better equipment than me.
Finding a way to contribute while figuring out that I could scrounge powerful weapons from the ground while learning the maps was the best part of this game. Hearing MP40s and MG42s when all I had was a Springfield A3 (I always played a Sniper squad so that I could at least play a period correct rifle until I unlocked the M1 Carbine) was cool. The virtual rush when flanking and defeating Nazis with proper Nazi weaponry was FUN.
Early game was a mad dash to earn enough points to unlock the Garand. It took a couple weeks. I was playing Sniper and Engineer for quite a while and couldnāt really contribute to direct assaults on a point. But it was hella fun. I would suggest some kind of matchmaking setting that would optionally re-enable āfree for allā mode with no BR settings and put either an achievement or a time limited event around it.
*second most fun is aerial battles now with the Corsair and T-Bolt.
A good decision keep working like this, donāt forget a 30% more gain of silver after a Game this little change can make the game more friendly for new players and make the grind less painful
Please note! Various matchmaking settings are currently being tested, and players f.e on BR3 may still meet players on BR5.
This is not a mistake. Devs are collecting statistics!
Now that BR4 is in a somewhat playable state, there are a lot of weapons that could use adjustments.
The Gerat 03 is BR5, which makes no sense because the Farquhar Hill and SVT Drum have better stats and are in BR4
The STG45 is also the weakest version of the STG with a very low firerate of 450 RPM, it should also be considered to move to BR4 since it has less firepower than the regular Mkb42
But I do not want to sound like I am biased towards germany. I think all SMGs should be lowered to BR4 except for ones such as the Condors.
not just new players, me personally ever since the merge i wouldnāt touch br 3 and 4 because of the fact iād more or less always end up at br 5 anyway so all my pz 4ās and panthers have just been rusting away not getting any use. not anymore though
The current fixed matchmaker has nothing in common with a proper BRĀ±2 system. Not even BR3 is correct because we donāt have BR2-3-4 matches.
Does nobody see the massive elephant in the room thatās is BR5 ??? The powercreep within BR5 is greater than the one between BR2 and 4 ! Why the F$%@ we have all of the tigers at BR5 (exept for 1ā¦ but it canāt fight BR2ās so it doesnāt really matter), why we have ARās and smgās at the same BR?
ā¦Why is the BR range so narrow???
We do have a balance problem, and because of the locked/fixed matchmaker we had untill now that balance was neglected, because stuff like moving the M1C Garand down to BR4 wouldnāt do s!$# (it would fight the same things regardlessā¦)
Even if we never get BRĀ±2 (which without BR6 would mean Panther vs BR2ā¦ yikes) the power level differences between the BR5 weapons is too much to be left alone, some BR decompression is needed (BR6). That will also give more breathing room to lower BR equipment, resulting in better balance across the board.
And yes, i like those matches too, and thatās why i want BR6 and BRĀ±2 to be implimented.
I want variety and the whole point of a BR system (Ā±1 or 2) is to keep that while balancing the teams, as well giving you the opportunity to sometimes be the underdog, and others, the king of the match!
i use it for my paratroopersā¦itās a bloodbath when i land, still think itās stupid though i canāt do the same thing with my us or german paratroopers (swap the high br weapons out for lower ones)
