I play Japan BR1. Lately in almost every battle against Sovjets there has been 3-4 players on their team spawning nothing but assault-squads spraying PPS-42 and PPs-43 into the noobs.
Before the Far East, when Japan only fought in the pacific, it was never an issue. You met the occasional player that had an assualt squad with Lancasters or premium or event squads but it was never as bad as now.
I get it. You get a lot of points and a chance to feel superior but ruins the game for everybody else especially the new players who somehow don’t think it is nearly as fun to get slaughtered as you.
So my question is: Do you pick Sovjet BR2 deliberately to fight against BR1?
its not just br 2, they also plays br 3 very aggressively(Stacks) and for some reason every br 2 match has 3-4 downtiered soviets which uses, kv2,kv1,uragan and literally farms kills.
this seems to be the case only with soviets I think because if other factions gets downtiered they usualy be 1 or 2 guy not half of the team lol
I as someone who plays join any and has all factions unlocked, I am getting tired of soviets and keep losing my cool because of it. After the ISU, I changed my german setup to br 2 to chill and now constantly Im either against br3 stacks or I am in br 5 soviets against stacked germans without any veteran soviet, for some reason soviet playerbase left the br 5, instead of focusing on it to try ISU. pattern changing lol
The playerbase is constantly shifting.
With the arrival of the next update, I expect Axis to do a little better with many veterans playing BR3 for the Kugelblitz.
Until that, Soviets will likely continue to grind BR3 unopposed.
One solution to these sealclubs would be limiting player groups to just 2 players in regular matches and in turn allowing more in custom matches.
Lets be honest, 95% of 4stacks play together for easy wins and XP, not because they are friends.
idk what is the point when even with solo queue you can get easy wins… cause of events and grind needed i now even deliberately try not to win to drag the match and get more score.
You mean Nashorn (Rhino) right, the Panzer III-IV chassis bastard child equipped with a Dicker Minimum 88mm PAK 43 cannon. Major tried defending its BR placement in one of the news topics, but with above 80% vote for it to be lowered to BR3 in the suggestion, it would be disappointing if it wasnt.
BR2-3 Soviet is peak Soviet, especially now with Japan since Japanese tanks are already god-awful against Amerikansky and British tanks and the only really good plane is the Ki-100.
And Panzerfaust is like nuking fishs in a barrel and I would argue that the Bazooka M1 is also the better choice over the two Jap launchers.
I think only Japanese LMGs are better, but wouldnt pick over SVT-38 and same-ish SMGs with body armor.
Harbin does feel lifeless and robotic for a city.
But the rest of the map is really enjoyable. I really like both of the smaller villages, the Shinto shrine and the hill top fortification line (with trenches, bunkers).
However the airfield need a bit more cover and the hugeass radio tower objective needs to be increased in size, its usually not very fun to capture. Overall I would rate the map 7/10
Way better than the Bulge maps, but nowhere near as good as the new German map (Wald) or Burma.
