After enjoying some matches as JAP I really have to laugh about the US player base.
Facing US as JAP (specially when you are BR1/2 and have 80% bolties) is pain - and it is even more pain when they ALL are BR3 and are equiped with way superior BR3 GO weapons.
But thank god they got copy/paste and fantasy weapons lately
“GG” to the sweat lord team. “Well” played, good auto aim Never tell me again that US suffers.
Well played japanese team. We almost did it!
I mean, in fairness; complaining about equipment balance is a pretty common thing for all faction mains. Also some of us who just play whatever queues fastest cough PPSh-41 dispersion needs to be nerfed, cough Wow, it’s dusty in here.
Gonna be honest the Axis do win a lot based purely on the quality of their equipment and player population at least at top tier this is coming from someone who has a 76% win rate with Germany in the Normandy campaign I don’t play the eastern front because fuck the eastern front.
The only thing we “suffer” from are idiots and quitters in the queue. Equipment wise? We got some of the best in every category. Love a full III or V lineup
Allies I-II is utter garbage for teammates. I’m so thankful my friend finally got into III so we can start getting the competent teams again. Not to mention BAR
Because our players are the worst. I said that. Multiple times throughout the forum no less. That’s why we cry. That or we just genuinely want something we think will be cool or fun As for the prototypes, StG analogue is nice. Loving my new Hyde M1944 actually. Thing’s a blast with both the damage and range needed to properly compete against the StG. The Super Pershing is our Tiger II analogue and lemme tell you I ain’t no tanker but that sucker is F.U.N. to use. APCBC through Tiger II H turret face makes me happy. I get to watch the turret olympics too! Plus it makes more sense to add the Super Pershing than half of the trees because it actually saw combat during the war. It straight up destroyed a Panther or IV, whatever the crap it was. If you wanna look at the T20, well, that’s just our FG 42 analogue. We didn’t have an auto rifle that could compete with it in range, so we got a prototype automatic M1 Garand with box mag. Can’t remember if that model was BAR mags or not off the top of my head. May have only been the early prototypes or that may have been a different prototype all together. Anyways, it helped even the field at range. Plus I’m a full powered rifle kinda guy and they gimped .30 Carbine so I’m happy with it. The captured German imitation M1 I genuinely can live without. I don’t want it. I will not use it. I do not care. My M9 has gotten me this far and I will continue to kill everything a Kraut or Jap’s got to offer with it
So yeah a lot of the additions, besides the imitation M1, are simply analogues to German equipment to help even the field. Mind you I don’t want perfect counters as I rather like the pro-con system of each faction being unique, but a proper analogue to keep each faction in the fight is always a good thing. Even if in some areas one faction has a better weapon and in others another one does, which makes sense as different nations had different focuses and different weapons designers doing different things. Still think we should make guns behave based on their IRL ballistics to make each gun, and subsequently each faction, feel truly unique
So the T20 = FG 42
Super Pershing = Tiger II
Hyde M1944 = StG
MG 42 100 = all other trees end game MG
…where else is the TT complained about as far as the Allies go? I don’t know. Regardless the whole point is that the playing field is being evened a bit. We both have a full powered auto rifle. We both have an uparmored, upgunned end game tank, we both have a close to medium range gun for Assaulters, and we both have 100 round MG’s. And none of them act like copy pastes of each other…far as I can tell. Sounds good to me
Player base issue for sure. US has way better toys than Japan. Germany is just easier to play for new players but ultimately, it comes down to quality of human players always
Japan BR V: 1 plane fighter who if you set max speed it get overheated in seconds, 3 tanks (2 no premium, one premium, all are bad tanks but works),1 rifle (best one of game I admit it),yup, quality stuff XD,machine gun is from br IV, AT gun from br II,not a single prototype nor captured weapons in game yet, mortars from br 1,no a single AT mortar in game, no attack plane/bomber for br IV nor V, despite of have them and also prototypes, flamethrowers from br 3, Sniper is aboltie from br 2, etc. yup say me that again
