Biggest problem for the merge: germany

german mains will fight everywhere after the merge at every br except pacific.

meanwhile japanese veterans will be farming some low br newbie muricans at the pacific.

Devs need to add japanese- soviet border conflict maps and dilute ally playerbase. let me remind you this game has huge russian playerbase who loves to play soviets regularly.

or the whole system will collapse on itself and we will end up with matches filled with bots again.
or half of the playerbase must play german faction regularly, somehow

Yes

oh cool

Chinese just sent expeditionary force. Why not just add battle of wuhan or something

Because burma is a very important battle for the pacific theatre and would be a nice way for slowly introduce chinese forces first with some themed premium and event squad and after as full fleshed faction with their own map

There are enough German mains in every WW 2 game, they are usually braindead noobs but they do exist.

I don’t understand your argument. Are you saying nobody will want to play Japan? They seem pretty popular now what will change?

Well, not anymore. Japan was limited to fighting low tier US because they didn’t have late war equipment. But now they will, so that condition is gone and Japan is fair game.

I think he meant Soviet-Japanese border conflicts of late 30s, like Khasan Lake and Khalkhin Gol, as late war Soviets would stomp the Japanese. Although the Invasion of Manchuria saw extensive use of equipment deemed obsolete for the western front, they still brought some fancy new toys (according to some accounts, even the IS-3) that the Japanese couldn’t even scratch with what they had (and they had little as Kwantung Army was at that point cut off from Home Islands).

My understanding is it is the opposite: Japan will be an effective country for farming low tier US, while mid and upper tier US players will be playing against Germany.

Too much iron on the fire…i’d rather see improved existing factions than a new one, with all its related new bugs…

Soviets only have to fight one faction which is Germany but not Japan right now. Maybe low tier Japan with the Soviets having BTs and T-26s.

Strictly Eastern Front only for Soviet but Germany has no option to choose a front whether Western, Eastern or Africa while Japan chilling in Pacific.

I think this whole BR match making whatever is convoluted but……

I don’t see how the Americans will be disadvantaged in the Pacific seeing as you’re still gonna be using Garands, Bars, Thompsons, and Shermans

I completely agree, especially since Japanese are getting completely destroyed atm.

Lol, there will be br after the merge. So if invasion of Manchuria is implemented, Japan will only meet soviet that only have obsolete equipment. They might meet Soviet with late war equipment if Japan get higher level stuff.
