So I just unlocked the flamethrower for the germans and decided to give it a try. Besides getting shot in spawn whilst playing flametrooper and instantly dying I’m also getting matchmade with with tier 5 sweatlords just because of my flametrooper. To make matters worse this game has a serious problem with windows which appear to be impossible to mantle through and comically large windows I have to jump at multiple times just to get through. I honestly wonder what the enemy team is thinking when they see me jumping up and down in front of a window that’s 1 foot high. What broke the camel’s back is this all happened within a couple of games. Here’s a video of something that I was graced with earlier by the gaijin gods. I attached the video so if it doesn’t show in the post it’s just another gaijin problem to me. I find it hilariously pathetic game balance wise when I play BR2 I get to face up against people spamming flamethrowers, but when I decide to give it a try I go up against stacking sweatlords spawn camping my whole team (of which are recruit level players with no play time.) Fyi I’m a consistent top fragger in BR2.
The video is a 30 second clip of me spawning in with a apc at the beginning of the match and instantly getting flipped into the nearby river on spawn wasting my spawn. It of course didn’t upload because of the data limit.
Yeah windows and mantling have a severe issue. This is something I’m sure a lot of the community is taking notice of. That definitely needs a fix. As for being a flame trooper against Tier 5s, One of two things may have happened:
- you got placed in a tier 3 to 5 match because it could not find people within the ±1 time frame
Or that rule entirely excludes flame troopers which it shouldn’t because that’s still a weapon, it should be following the ±1 rule.
Was it the flamenwerfer 35 at tier 3?
Yes.
You may have not found a match within its pre-designated time frame. They need to make this a permanent rule instead of a soft rule. No tier 3 can compete with Tier 5. Especially if it’s against a stack of 4 players.
Except that the tier 4s on my team made this possible yes? Otherwise how else could I have went up against browning m1919a6’s and had a tiger on my team?
Actually all my matches are insta on germany queuing.
That’s just matchmaking, it has nothing to do with the team and everything to do with:
- equipment the player brings to the match
- Players in the queue
- time it takes to find enough players for a match
- random change in faction player volume
My personal note is right now the Germans are no longer stomping people, almost like they got bored and moved to a different faction. Every single match I’ve seen Germany participate in was a loss. At least at tier 5. Everyone is on the Americans and Soviets.
Just part of the weird and bs faction swap that is largely due to how dark flow releases things. Everyone sees a new gun for a faction and they all flock to that faction to unlock it. Leaving a faction robbed of 80+% of its normal playerbase.
