While playing Enlisted i’ve noticed this discrepancy in the merge between what is essentially tipping of to a powerfull force of weaponry which begins at BR3 and the new player experience at which is from BR1 to BR2. This causes a quick change in motion where players are pittet against the highest tiers in the game, in which they do not have the abilitiy to counter or deal the same amount of damage to the opponment they are fighting.
The matter that is that weapons from BR3 such as the tanks, the sub machineguns, the semi automatic rifles and machine guns are all pittet against the highest battle rating at BR5 which does not feel fair when the enemy has weapons 5 times better than theirs. Immediately for cause of gaining server population a problem occurs, suddently the players who had unlocked the early T-34 is thrown against a Tiger II with its 150mm armor, suddently players who had unlocked the VG-2 is thrown against Federov avtomats which shreds them to pieces without the player being able to counter them. What essentially this is, is cannon fodder for what i see now as a competive playerbase at Battle Rating 5.
So i have a suggestion, mainly
“The Neutral Zone”
What this is, is Battle rating 3 getting its own Battle rating, being split of from having to fight BR4-BR5 and BR1-BR2. Battle rating 3 essentially becomes a award for new players who have progressed from BR2 to BR3 with the amount of bolt action warfare they have fought to be awarded with semi automatic rifles and better ways to counter objectie situations like flamethrowers. This tier would then now be a choice for the players in BR3 being able to choose if they wish to continue to play higher BR, decrease BR or stay where they are which is a neutral zone between easy and hard.
Now, instead of BR1 players having to fight KV-1’s and Panzer 4’s they now fight amongst themself with the armor that is avaliable at that tier. Instead of BR3 having to fight off STG44’s with Lanchester Sub-machineguns, the Battle Rating 3 players will now experience a fair and balanced match between equally strong enemies that posses the same eqiupment being able to deal the same amount of damage back, while battle rating 4 and 5 battle amongst themself with powerfull automatic rifles.
This way Enlisted would gain a steady amount of players which could learn at a easy phase before they would placed between more experienced players, having a choice how they would do they’re part in Enlisted.
