I’ve just played 3 games (Conquest - Lehrter Bahnhof, Invasion - Opera, and the new Assault one) as Soviets and all 3 lost. Germany stomped us in Bahnhof and that was really weird cuz I was winning like 90% games there before. Seems like there aren’t any bots now on Axis side.

With balance changes, people are eager to try them out. We will have to wait for a few days, perhaps weeks, to see the full impact of the changes.

I noticed more player on the axis too, but this might just be people trying out the changes. As ReachForTheSky said, you should wait a week or two. It took about the same amount of time after the last update untill it settled.
I find it just the opposite every match I’ve played today the Russian have won in less then 5 minutes as they just zerg rush to our spawn. Then the entire match is the german team spawning and dying 2 seconds later as the game creators thought is such a great idea to have every spawn only contain one exist. Only matches we seem to win have been invasion’s ones and ever then we are usually always pushed back to the last cap point and then only just win.

From a few games last night I noticed that Germs can hold their own pretty well on defense now. Maybe its the tweaks to spawn points but German teams were actually building rallies too.

The new “assault” mode seems to work well for defenders. I’ve seen germans defend points very fiercely.
Not on my end I’ve still yet to see a german properly defend any point without being steam roll, let along actually win a match. The russian are winning so fast barely anyone on either side is getting over 20 kills.

haha it’s wild how people have some different experiences in this game. I played assault last night as Germans and I think they beat us in under 10 minutes with like 900 tickets left. But I also had an invasion game on one of the bridge capture maps and the soviets never even took the first point on the bridge. That’s something I hadn’t seen since CBT.

I think part of it is due to the german players learning about the factions strengths/weaknesses: smgs are NOT the german faction’s meta, it’s the soviet’s one. However, german lmgs are better, so I see successful defenses with players using these instead of trying to rival ppshs with mp40s and the like.
The problem with that is the USSR default SMG is amazing and by level 4 you can have a almost full squad and most of your other squads wielding this weapons. Meanwhile the germany players have to level up to so much as unlock the mg let along getting it equipped putting them at a dissadvantage.
Today’s matches, server Eastern Europe:
But maybe it’s because I’m an extremely good player compared to the current meta(smashing german bots(not so many of them, really)).
Ever thought it is because soviet players are not using ppd, ppsh and using bolt action rifles for event on now, I changed a whole squad from semi to ba, til I did task that is…
today i made 7 matches as germany in berlin,
results, 5 matches has been won by the axis, and only 2 by russians.
i guess the event was what really needed.
but i don’t know for how much longer this " balance " will keep up.

so how come u wont nerf the planes u nerfed arty to useless now
The bolt action task doesn’t take that long, just play the moscow map like twice and you’ll have completed it since everyone uses bolt action there.
I don’t have any role in the balancing or development process, I just moderate the forum.

In my experience, you need only a good tanker and 2 good infantry squads and the rest can be bots. i have no problem winning both sides with similar scores. the only thing is the default russian tank is better then the default german one and new russian players can take on panzer 4 with easy and not vice versa. but comparing weaps i think both can hold thier own, once t34 damage models(pen values) will be fixed there will be a lot more wins for germans.
note: german played with panther g and ussr with the first t34-85
still working on late game Russians, will see after i unlocked further into the campaign

Its not event why soviet are losing. it started happening before that bolt action task even showed up. Soviets are just smashed in every invasion.
Cap times are increased in every map exept where germans attack, its possible solo cap most points in less then 20secs
Könnigsplats and opera house is just tarded spawn camp.
I think they made those caps just way too long
no they didnt. capture times right now are more than perfect.
if atacker team moves to the points they will win easly.
berlin seams more balanced since last update. i m glad.
we can finnaly hold the first objective in many rounds. something we didnt see in berlin since the first pre alpha tests.
