So, iv played this game for about… half a year now i guess, on and off. Had to make new account recently as im a steam user.
Iv found it strange that after getting to campaign level 3, i started noticing i was getting slammed by Pz3Ks, direct mortar fire, artillery barrages, and even got dinked by AT and some kind of quick Det explosive thrown at me.
So, i came to the conclusion after looking deeper into this, that these people are MASSIVELY ahead of me in the game. im over here on campain level 7 currently. and im fighting people at twice to three times my capaign level.
So, after looking after all this and that. I was wondering how a balancing system could work for this game.
-Personal ranking
-squad ranking
-campaign ranking
-or equipment ranking
So. Thinking this out. Personal Ranking is a BIG NO as we all seen CSGO and games like that.
I looked over Squad Ranking, and this could REALLY be used if refined here and there.
Campaign ranking might be the largest hold down for MM-timing, and the devs will always make the excuse for wanting to decrese the already average 3 second MM-timeing to less than that.
Equipment? Well if this was the case than the total average equipment would need to be added up into a sum by each squad, then given a COF of the total points to represent the character. This could be an issue for balancing purposes. a squad of 10 riflemen with M1Garands vs a squad of 4 with an AT soldier, radio operator, SMG gunner, and an engineer has different weight to it. Balancing issue.
So out of all of this. I think squad levels should be able to be taken into account for a balanced MM.
subcategorize them by the level they come out.
For example. Lets say… the US, Level 14 Sniper II squad would be level one on release, but be bloted in ‘Battle rating’ to accommodate its superiority over the normal Sniper 1 squad at level 0. Not by much, but enough to make sense.
And if youre using a squad from level 14, than youre other squads would have buffed levels already by that point.
Dont worry about fighting lower level players as its kind of a BR system from WT. Doing will be for everyone, as ik that you can still level up for doing little each game if youre bad. but so will everyone else.
Further more, your ‘personal BR’ for this would also be edited by your campaign level. For example, im level 7 campaign. my Engineer Squad is Level 30. because of this, there would need to be another coefficient to say something like: ‘-0.5 per level over Campaign level’
This will help lower people down that arnt very good at the game so they dont get carried away by dumb leveling.
