The last update added Pershing to the US and new guns and tanks to Japan. Both were BR5.
Since all the players have already finished most of the grind, it is understandable to add higher level content.
However, I would like to see more additional content added to the lower levels of BR1~3.
As many players currently do, the lower BRs are not just a pathway to the higher BRs, there are many who stay and play there.
There are so many squads in the game, and even more seasoned players own legacy squads, that building multiple decks for multiple BRs is one of the goals of the game.
So what would you guys like to see as low BR content?
Let us know your ideas.
What I want is an upgrade of BR1~2 tanks, especially light tanks.
They are almost useless as anti-tank vehicles. They can fight each other with the same light tanks, but when medium tanks come out, they are almost hopeless, and if you take them into BR5 and so on, they are often destroyed with almost nothing to do.
However, in my opinion, light tanks outperform BR5 tanks with their small chassis and nimble speed, which makes light tanks very attractive when they are dedicated to anti infantry combat. I still love the flamethrower tank that came with the Stalingrad Full Access and I love the M3 Stewart with flamethrower in the Pacific.
So, my idea is to add some attractive options or improvements to the BR1~3 tanks.
First of all, it should mitigate the overheating of the coaxial machine gun. The appeal of light tanks lies in their ability to act like "infantrymen preventing small arms fire. Their main opponent is infantry. However, the key machine gun currently overheats quickly. This should be mitigated a little more.
Enhancement of anti-personnel weapons such as canister rounds
This was suggested in another thread, but the M3 Stewart could use canister rounds. It was like a giant shotgun, capable of crushing a Japanese soldier to pieces with a single blow. 37mm M2 Canister Shell - Suggestions - Enlisted
It could be replaced with HE shells or even with anti-tank shells to make it a completely infantry tank.
I am not familiar with non-US light tanks/reconnaissance vehicles, but they would have some nice upgrades as well.
Also, There are still some attractive low BR weapons used in WW2 such as the Japanese type 30 rifle and the Italian savoia S.55. I would like to see something like that in the future.
More new vehicles with howitzers. For example bison and so.
Since that’s basically only reason why I do play low BRs from time to time.
Otherwise I really do not enjoy gameplay of low BRs. There are max 2 competent players per team, the rest are just “filler players” with very high chance of “bob the builder” type of player being one of them. And this type player can very often ruin the whole match for me. (sorry for little rant, lol)
Honestly, I’d rather see the mid BR be the real thing. Rather than adding new stuff to the low BRs
More variety of motorcycles for the rider class. Maybe give the rider class jeeps with MGs or lightly armoured cars. The German halftrack motorcycle hybrid would be a good addition.
More variants of halftracks/mobile spawns.
More captured/lend lease weapons/vehicles in the form of gold orders or event rewards.
The first German self-propelled guns, it would be really cool to see them added!
I would love to see more self-propelled artillery. The map is too small for indirect fire, but I still want them.
I am waiting for the M7priest.
I too sincerely hope that BR3~4 will become a BR that can be enjoyed independently.
Darkflow’s opinion is that we need a thicker player base, and I pray that Steam will fix this.
Thanks for the huge list! With so many detailed ideas, this should be a suggestion thread.
The rest of the 1st Marine Division. It is inexcusable as to why they are not in the game at the release of the Pacific, as they were the units who fought at Guadalcanal.
I would also like to see Edson’s Raiders, as they were responsible for the success at Edson’s Ridge. Once again, it should’ve been in the release of the Pacific.
Lol maybe try to read what campaign name it is? Pacific War right? Not Guadalcanal.
We already had 5th Regiment from the 1st Marine Division. We need to give chance to other units that fought in the Pacific.
Yes, we need more Marines. 1st Marine Division, it would be so cool to have them in the game. I want them in Rifleman, Assault, and Mortar units.
Have you read Eugene Bondurant Sledge’s book? It was a masterpiece.
I wonder if it is true that the Japanese soldier’s body was ripped in half at the BAR.
captured garand with scope for snippers concept?
