Awesome, an event that basically lets Wehraboos steamroll the Allies. Can’t wait for the usual suspects to show up and be like: ‘So historically accurate, SO HISTORICALLY ACCURATE—that’s exactly how it happened back then!!!’ and then start rubbing it in everyone’s faces.
Won all allied games tonight i think
Give it time…people will remember/realise they can build rallies and dont have to keep jumping out of a plane
I think this event is very well-balanced. I’d love to see more events like this being held.
It’s not fun. I want to play PVE
what :_. let me guess
spingfields vs FG42s???
A shitty event. Fortunately, it won’t waste as much time as it did before.
Do you guys like ANYTHING? You literally get a free event squad, paratrooper at that, plus all the other stuff. Stop fuckin whining we finally got an event squad and the german weapon is pretty decent.
"I get it. The devs think every American player is like BJ Blazkowovich
What do I think of the current event?
If I can get past the constant instability of the
new update, the event is just boring. It would
have been so much better to just made this a
5k per day event, but run it like they do the 20k
every two day deals, except applying it to a daily
format. So, this way we could just play our
own squads, using our own boosters in the
general game mode. Continuously playing the
same boring map and same boring mode for
eight consecutive days SUCKS! Why does no
one from Dev-ville understand this?
Since I physically cannot remember the last
decent event, I guess the Dev’s have not understood
this for quite some time. This is one of the many
reasons the game for myself has become much less
appealing over the past year or so.
Alright, let’s start with the positives.
This time, Undercurrent actually decided to act human — unlike the last event where one stage required 12k points and forced everyone to grind for 14 straight days. The weapons aren’t stock versions either; they’re fully upgraded. Soldier skills are mostly correct too (though there’s still that random non-maxed bandage speed skill that makes zero sense…).
Now that we’re done with the good stuff… here come the complaints.
I seriously don’t get how they manage to make every event—whether it’s alt-history or historical—so utterly painful. For the first time ever, I felt happier losing than winning. And this garbage map? We have to play it for 8 days straight. EIGHT. DAYS. That means at least 2-3 matches per day, not even counting those rounds where we got steamrolled in seconds.
The Allied team loadouts are a total joke. The U.S. paratroopers at least have semi-autos—if they’re lucky enough not to get shot out of the sky like bots, they might stand a chance thanks to rate of fire. But the British paras? Aside from the squad lead with a Sten, the rest are all stuck with bolt-actions. Once they hit the ground, there’s barely any chance to fight back. And of course, the Wehrbros can call artillery whenever and wherever they want, while Allies have to paradrop in with a radio set just to request support. Same story with anti-tank—the only long-range AT option is the M9 Bazooka from a supply drop.
So, bottom line: I’d rather Undercurrent just stick to marathon events or low-effort anniversary activities instead of trying to deliver “fair combat.” If the Soviet Union hadn’t collapsed, you guys would’ve definitely been KGB interrogation experts—because you’ve truly mastered the art of torture.
Spawning as paratroopers from ground spawn points is even more painful—no airdrop crates at all. Good luck fighting with just the default ammo loadout. At this point, losing honestly feels better than winning for the Allies in this mode.
Nope, it’s literally Lee-Enfield/M1 Garand vs. G43.
Honestly, the event weapons aren’t even the main issue this time — it’s the ridiculously unbalanced spawn points for both sides
Pretty balanced. G43 belongs at BR3 with buffed G41. M1 is 10% worse which is nothing as M1 + Johnson combo completely dominates BR3 anyway. You have much lower recoil than G43.
And Enfield is much stronger than crappy Kar98k that can’t even aim-shoot like your british boltie.
It’s not about weapon stats — the real problem is the completely lopsided spawn points for each faction.
Usa can spawn anywhere they want. It’s impossible to shoot all of them and they can easily build rallies whenever they want.
Spawns are not a problem, problem is that USA has no tanks. Sacrificing entire squad just to kill a tank and maybe one apc instead of being able to build rally is a pretty bad trade off. And there should be more squad types once our team builds a rally.
Like I’ve always said, it’s ridiculous for paratroopers to spawn from rally points. You expect us to fight against squads of 7 or 9 guys with just the default ammo? Or are we supposed to charge machine gun nests with our bare hands?
I’ve given up on any viable way to win this mode. It’s better for everyone if the Allies lose—at least then we can all grind out the 5,000 points for this shitty event ASAP and get back to what we were doing.
I think people aren’t building enough AT guns (with HE), mg nests as paras and complaining, I build mg overlooking bridge and cover troops.
As for Enfield and Brit paras, we have Johnson lmg when selecting assault, US just get more Thompsons
Build rally, put up a few sandbags cover your spawn and lmg the Germans simple!
Build what? Just to rush through this match and start the next even more painful torture? The best way to play this mode is for everyone to airdrop, grab sniper crates, and then just camp with snipers until the round ends.
