IMO, it makes for more fun varied gameplay, I actually support BR1 being able to face all the way up to BR5, however, these incidents shouldn’t be commonplace. Situations of BR1 facing BR5 should be exceedingly rare, and BR3 facing BR5 should be uncommon.
Nearly all modern shooters have taken such a sterile and corporate approach to balance, and I hate seeing enlisted become just another FPS in these stale fetid waters. I’m willing to see how these changes go though, they could alleviate the humdrum through other means.
I’m sorry, I make no concessions on the Meteor. Just know that when you fly her, I’m there next to you, in spirit, judging you, and averting my eyes.
I remember Heroes and Generals without any BR system. It was indeed more varied. But it was possible to win with mosins against stgs. Why?
Maps were giant and no grey zones at all, you were able to cross any river anywhere, go to flank, kill eveny tank and etc.
Resources system, IIRC, more modern equipment required more team resources, so people were able to spam low-rank stuff.
Repair-cost system made possible to actively play with top-tier guns and vahicles only for those who played them well or straight up donated for silver.
Small amount of players on map, battles for single points consisted of 3-4 players mostly.
I think if adding the jets and stuff that wasn’t ww2 should have its own battle rating like in WT. BR1 - BR4 can focus on the ww2 stuff while BR5 and BR6 can focus on stuff added after ww2 ended or stuff that were produced but didn’t see much of ww2 making the community happy with its accuracy of ww2 and being able to add Cold War stuff at higher BR and not affecting the gameplay of the lower BR. With this they can keep the regular battle rating stuff and it’ll make BR4 top tier while going into BR5 would be bottom tier for the gear that didn’t see action in ww2 and BR6 would be Cold War era stuff.
Next you’ll add item X for faction Y but faction Z will require a similar item, even if it’s blatantly Cold War/alt history.
Just create BR6 (which only plays against BR6) and put all the “fUN” stuff there: jets, assault rifles, select fire rifles, RD-44, Conders, Japanese paper tanks and weapons, all of that nonsense.
Can you give us upgraded FNAB-43 at BR2 already? It should be shooting at above 600 rpm. That way Germany would have equivalent to PPS-42 without need to make a new gun model.
