Problem is that many squads have nothing worth the place in the “deck”.
Why would I take AT squad for exaple? It has exactly 0 value. I can have AT soldier in most of other squads and many of hand AT weapons are trash. Also if everybody can have a TNT that can ohk a tank, why would I chose AT soldier over assaulter with TNT?
Or why would I take a mortar suqad? The main purpose of this squad is to tactically eliminate enemy position in the open… in a game where most of people run and gun from building to building.
Yep. The automatics dominate the game and the ability to run 3 assault squads/squads with all autos will always make those other niche squads obsolete. I’ve never even used my mortar squad, why would I waste my time
I’ve used mortars but unless you have a friend that will mark targets for you, all you can do is to blind fire as your team won’t mark at all, let alone marking targets with any tactical value.
Your best bet are marked AA guns. Those are actual, proper targets for a mortar.
You know, I don’t mean anything by it, but it’s weird when the SMG USSR at level 1 is better than what the Axis gets at level 30.
I recently came across a screenshot of a player who has the same number of hours for Axis and USSR in Moscow. Here are his stats.
Explain to me why anyone thinks this is a “balanced campaign”
Well, the game about being a commander of AI squad has almost no tactical depth except zergrush.
The whole game is about zergrush with full auto weapons and grenades.
I fully agree the Soviets are better in Moscow, Ive never said anything but that and yes I have played alot of both sides (level 34 Axis, 24 Soviets currently). BUT my stats are roughly equally in Moscow. I find it to be a few key individuals that win matches and not just weapon stats
It’s great but in CQC are still inferior to PPsh due to mag size. For riflemen soviet have AVS to counter FG. If playing purely assaulter class, what can axis really put up against PPsh?
Absolutely, but this screenshot got me thinking.
In general I’m all for asymmetry, but the Axis have no more or less competitive SMGs at all.
The famous Axis machine guns (MG-34) don’t come out until level 21, and until then there’s absolutely nothing to play with.
I agree. The Soviets, from my play style atleast, have great early level gear. The Germans DO get solid weapons with the MKB 42, MP35, MG34 and yes, the MP40 but out the gate the PDD 34/38 is fantastic
That might make some sense, because I wouldn’t dare say that the Mkb is better than the PPSh. However, it will already be at level 35+, which means a complete lack of intelligible weapons up to that point.
I find myself increasingly reluctant to wait for interesting stuff at 20+ levels when I’ve played a few campaigns. I found it interesting in Normandy, hard to wait from level 14 to 20-26 in Berlin, and boring from the beginning in Tunisia until I got the Thompson.
I’m depressed by campaigns without Semi-Automatic weapons in the first 10 levels because bolt guns are useless against top players, and I don’t want to wait around 20 levels for Semi-Automatics
I find that I’m getting less kills on my German matches because I’m getting shit on due to being the only one heading for or on the objective. Past that the K/D and overall proportion of kills and what not is similar to soviets for time played. Just LESS. W/R obviously suffers horribly as well thanks to the epic horseshoe point hold strategy Germans favor
Getting focused down when I wouldn’t if I was playing Soviets, Anglos, or Americans
Looking at the map the rest of the Germans are nowhere near the point to help out
The wait is endless.
The last levels are a disappointment. The Normandy for Axis is a useless kar and a useless plane that is worse than the bf110 on level 34.
Moscow - flamethrowers and not very interesting tanks.
Berlin - not bad tanks (at least the tiger), but Panzerfaust 100, although 60 is fine with any vehicles Berlin so far (until the KT and the late IS-2).
Tunis are interesting machine gunners and an interesting tank for the Axis.
All in all, that’s awfully little in the 3+ months since the last content patch.
