Weapons and vehicles I haven't seen since The Merge

  1. PPSh-41 drum.

    Only the most mass produced smg of WW2 and “weapon of victory” immortalised in movies, textbooks and monuments.
    But why take it if it’s BR5 and BR5 has assault rifles.
    So what do we see instead?
    FakeASs-44 (never adopted into service) and Fantaserov Avtomat (flimsy WW1 design never seen in service after 1940).

  2. Panther

    Legendary WW2 tank but why take it when you have Tiger 2 H/P.

  3. Tiger 1

  4. MKB-42 / MP-43

    Interesting guns but why take them when you have STG-44.

  5. PPD-34/38 or PPD-40 drum.

    Legendary WW2 weapons but why take them with BR4 when you have all the fake assault weapons on BR5.

What I have seen a lot of since the Merge?
This fake BS that was never used in WW2

Conclusion:

  1. Iconic WW2 weapons and vehicles are struggling to find their place post Merge, overshadowed by meta fake guns.
  2. BR4 needs some attention, for veteran players this is probably the most useless BR right now (you simply get sent to BR5 opponents).

We were supposed to get historically accurate matches in customs that yield xp.
Sadly, nothing happened so far.

I would have liked it we could have decent battles instead of this fast-paced lunacy or fantasy weapons everywhere and we could actually use strategy and tactics but no we’re now stuck in this nightmare especially if you play BR 5.

And I ran out of hearts again :heart:

I made a post about this wanting to move most of those to BR 4 and the PPD 34/38 to BR 3.

In my opinion the queques should be 1-2, 3-4 and 5. Guns like ppsh 41 could be moved into t4 while all the fantasy shit would be locked in t5

Sniper MKb is way better than sniper Stg. It has better scope for its role.

I don’t believe you haven’t see them since merge. I am encountering them on daily bases.

To be fair I mostly play BR1-2 to avoid the shitshow of Tiger 2 in Stalingrad or AS and RPD spam in Berlin.

But when I do fo BR 3-5, all I see are Tiger 2 H on the one side and AS, RPD, Fedorov and Beltfed DP fakery in every match.

I do even see quite often stuff like Pz IV H and so. Which is very interesting. Since the tank is just waste of tank slot on its BR.

But I have not seen any TDs. Stuff like SU-85 or JP IV.

Jokes on you. I had a match in berlin where I did more with my Stug III than a KT.
The god of war defeated the king of war, just as expected.

BR makes things obsolete by it’s design. And this flaw is even stronger due to the 2 queue BS.

Not a surprise, since you can frontally oneshot IS2 1944 with stug xD
Basically any German vehicle is usable. But some are just better than others.
But since a large number of people are incredibly insecure about using ANYTHING other than meta stuff, that’s exactly why we see KT so often.
Luckily, this type of player usually has only average skill, that’s why they have the insecurities. So it is not that hard to deal with them.

I have done a pure br4 preset with beretta m38s, flamethrowers and fiat g55 just for fun. I don’t want to play with the best weapons, but with the most funny ones, it’s a shame that i have to compete vs full auto mechanized stellar soviet stronc empire, there is no match, but since i have maxed axis i don’t care winning or losing, i simply enjoy the game with my favs weapons. Sweaters are no fun.

Anything outside of the drum PPSh-41 I see almost anytime god of matchmaking sends me to BR5
Ironically i think I’ve seen more germans using the PPSh-41 than russians post merge
As for other BR4 ussr smgs I’m not surprised no one wastes time on them - they are hot dogshit worse than PPS-43
