I remember perhaps not 6 months or so ago, I won most of my games. Out of 40+ battles, I won 70% of them and even the losses felt hard fought and fun. I come back to play maybe 6 games and all of a sudden I can’t win a single one.
The losing battles aren’t even close to what they were before. Back then we would get to the last objective to take and simply run out of men. Now my team cannot get past the first point to take.
I’m not much of a pro player. I’m honestly above average at best, but when I see myself in the very top of the leaderboards during a match…I know something isn’t right and it’s a losing game.
Tried both Allies and Axis, same for each. An absolute slaughter.
Have people moved on from Battle of Berlin? What’s going on?
Don’t put yourself down like this. You might be genuinely good.
To answer, I’d say it varies alot depending on what faction you play, what server and what time of the day. Playerbase flock like sheep in the campaigns where nice new things are at.

well, in 6 months, we got more gears and end tier stuff.
plus, more people joined enlisted.
some of them good, and others inexperienced.
nah, you don’t need to be good or bad in order to win.
just to have fun, and victories will eventually follow.
and if you can’t, i suggest to try the discord.
i heard that there are good chaps there.
more people in a team, more coordination. therefore, more chances to win.
plus, it’s always much fun with friends or in a team.
that is possible as i’m seeing less and less " cats " ( tigers ) there.
I started the update playing Berlin Axis religiously for armored train and the Tiger.
Eventually I realized everyone else was leaving, and I was sick of carrying all of my matches, so I’m back to just playing whatever campaign sounds fun at any given time.
Berlin Axis player base was fun while it lasted.
indeed.
too bad i had many else things to do, and still don’t have the tiger …
Big thing I will say that can easily cause “Topping score board but still losing” is not building rally points. Especially if a lot of the veteran players are either moving to other campaigns, or getting diluted by new comers, rally points can get infrequent, and if you don’t have one winning on offense becomes stupid hard.
You’re right about that one. I neglected to build any in the hopes to improve my other squads that I have not played with. It seems I will always have to have an Engineer squad just to make sure we can push forth.
You are absolutely correct. It doesn’t even need to be a full engi squad, you just always, always need to bring at least one engi in your line up. Having no rally points is a crippling weakness, and generally the more the team has, the better. These days every single one of my squads takes an engi once they are leveled enough to fit one in.
I’d also say engis are the most important soldier type to rank up to 5 stars, so you can grab faster build speed. It makes putting up rallies a lot easier and safer, as well as enabling all sorts of nonsense with pop up flak cannons outside doorways.
I’ve noticed the same in Moscow Axis and both sides of Tunisia when defending, people just sit everywhere except the objective with snipers and don’t defend. Normandy seems to currently be the campaign with the best playerbase on both sides.
I’m a noob player in general having gave up FPS 10 years ago, but have tried several on & off to find one that suits my taste in War Games and this has been most fun, so now I daily grind, avg kills 15-25 and climbing Normandy level 14 Alied. My highest score before getting a sniper rifle and a couple days ago elite battle pass gold M4 Sherman Canadian version maxed out. 70+ kills for highest score so far and another game 1st time I top the leader board WOOT! Wait I not a good player, what happened? WEAPONS WEAPONS WEAPONS, if you have premium grade weapons you KILL, even weak players like me. 40+ sniper kills last night, 50+ tank kills in another battle.
Yeah to those with consistent 100+ kills this sounds like not good, but for me ooh la la. Put premium weapons in to top players inventory and you get massive kills.
All this sounds obvious, but BillJohnson acts surprised he can’t kick ass like before, it’s already said more players, and more premium weapons. Put the time in, and creme rises to the top. If I ever get consistent 50+ kills I will be ecstatic, but there is no doubt for me to achieve it requires the assistance of better stuff in general and learning the maps.
