I played a few games in BR 2 and somehow the USSR is struggeling to keep up with the axis it seams.
Comparing gear it is a bit confusing for me as the USSR a clear edge over axis in some of the most important categories. The PPS is very controlable and easy to use. The P40E has the best fighter bomber loadout of any fighter in the game and russian tanks with 45mm can pen everything they can meet as armor on early axis tanks is nowhere to be found.
In addition the USSR gets paratroopers with “balanced” weaponry.
Even if you compare BR 3 the USSR get better semi and tanks on par with the axis.
Am I wrong to assume that USSR gear in general is better than the axis gear or am I missing something? Are axis just more confident in gambling with BR3 or why would low BR USSR even struggle?
Then why did USSR mains abandon BR 2? I would assume a lot of the BR 5 playerbase would migrate to boost the BR 2 population.
Is there a reason why it struggels or did it just happen?
Have played a few matches in the last few days and litterly never saw them once.
My team only got stomped.
Im sure that the event paras will change it alot in the comming days but until now my experience with USSR was kinda bad.
I played something like 5 or 6 ussr battle since they were available, I never saw them anywhere, except of course when it was me playing them. There was a bug in the event so they are currently available to only a very small portion of the player. Many should appear during the upcoming week.
The disappearance of a significant portion of the Soviet army and the overflow of flashy German players spamming Stg44 and Tiger 2 make me feel like the wounds of the unbalanced battles in Tunisia have only widened. I can’t understand players who always prefer to win (a game that involves running around the ruins of Berlin for 10 minutes), but is it difficult to move them? In the past, the situation in Tunisia was only balanced during the beta test.Adding a nerf or new weapons would only change the side doing the ravaging.
The main problem is that USSR is very unpopular at the moment for some reason, even though they have great weapons and tanks, there aren’t any good players around using them.
I did play a couple of low BR matches with USSR and due to their low player count, Germans get in match with BR3 while USSR is with BR2 because if you take BR3 as Soviet, you will get uptiered to BR5.
The axis has an advantage in the speed of capture and the cost of detachments on the maps of Moscow and Stalingrad.
You also have an advantage in the most powerful weapon in the game
well, because of the balance of online cards just dropped, the Soviets are playing with 3br Germans. The Soviets of 3br simply go to their deaths in Berlin, where they are ballast, because Soviet 3br tanks are useless against panthers and shooting ranges.
But you are talking about some kind of infringement of the Germans in the early stages, the paratroopers and the PPS are the smallest problems in the balance that can be found now
Not lack of players but Lack of good players.
Servers have real people but for some reason all players are newbies or trolls.
I can easily say this because amount of t 70 spam is ridicilous in every match
I dont know why veterans dont play soviets much
Lack of good player as the comment above stated, OP gear doesn’t fix playerbase issue…
Is funny Enlisted is pretty much the 180° of IRL WWII, were the US and Soviet use prototypes and experimental weapons while the Germans can bring another Panzer division to the front and Steiner Counter Offensive managed to push the Soviet from Berlin till Moscow… Japs though, still crippled
and why would good players play for a side that has penalties in the form of capture speed and the number of reinforcements. That’s why you don’t play 5 br for the ussr
ehh i would say 50/50 on high tier since 2/4 match of mine was a lose due to m4a3 105 the very thing i said it was useless dam (still not a good enough reason for me to go for it tho)
If it feels like Russia or the US is struggling, it’s not mechanical, it’s population. There’s five campaigns worth of german mains in the same two queues at this point, they’re never, ever at a shortage of players, but I’ve been seeing a couple or three bots at the bottom of soviet games, at least to start. BR 3 Germany is also popular because it stomps lower tiers and can, with some difficulty, compete at 5, which can not easily be said of any other nation’s middle tier.
hypothesis 1: germany has the largest population rn. the devs don’t want to introduce longer queue times for anyone (like you would see in early war thunder when it was limited faction X faction as in enlisted). so the answer is there are bots in us and ussr.
hypothesis 2: the people that play casually don’t care much about the faction, while people that want to grind to the top choose germany because of the famous stgs and king tigers. ussr is not very popular in the west, maybe in east europe server.
I think grenade spam/Rifle Grenade Spam is as cancerous as the next guy and Am all for it being restricted much more (or even removed)
But this claim isnt really on the level. Its certainly the best “anti-infantry grenade” in the game currently and its fucking annoying in the hands of players “choosing” to do nothing but this.
But all thats on display in this video (and others you have posted) is exactly that…a Veteran player “choosing to be cancerous”.
Do you know that that a large portion of the time you threw an impact grenade in this footage, you only got 1 kill???..you should have just shot the guy…and you are a Veteran with 1000s of games. the majority wont be anywhere near this effective…if you call this effective.
To review your squads…Starting with your Best impact kills. (only taking Note of Solider with Kills over 4. <4 is not worth considering)
Squad 1
Squad 2 (mostly singles…should have just shot)
Squad 3
Squad 4
Squad 5
Squad 6
Squad 7
Now come on…Veteran to Veteran…can you seriously look at those squad performances and say you wouldnt have done the same or better if you actually focused on shooting and choosing a different squad/weapon once in a while??? (personally I think you limited yourself). Thats not to say the stars cant align and have the odd absolute ripper of a game, but its far from the norm and can happen with any equipment.
I Suspect if you are being “honest” you know its the case…
I Will post entire game if needed. This is a Snippet from a “stock squad” game that actually focused on shooting, and using the grenade slot as an “actual tool”…(not leveled, perked or weapon upgraded at all…on par with new players)
By all means, advocate for getting this shit removed/toned down… just not this way.
