Has anyone else thought about how the new system will devastate the Japanese faction?

Hm People keep telling me that people dont wanna have basic historical accuracy and players are coming for that reason not being that accurate and all that.
And yet we apparently need to merge everything because… too successful?

flexibility i am talking about is about BR rating and fitting campaigns into it.
lets say that BR 1-3.33 represent early war weapons (1939-1941), BR 3.34-6.66 represent mid war weapons (1942-1943) and BR of 6.67-10 represent late war weapons (1944-1945). certainly this will not be 100% representation cause some weapons that were issued mid-late war are weaker than prewar weapons (like m3 smg vs thompson), but it gives good framework

you can fit most of the campaigns somewhere in those ratings depending on year and weapon availability. so lets say moscow can only get players with BR of up to 3.4, stalingrad can get only battles up to rating of up to 5.5 etc.
simply determine lowest and highest BR for certain campaign and you can flexibly add loads of campaigns without affecting MM in any meaningful way.

nothing important will be lost.

Lets face the truth those people have ham on their eyes

If you equip them with VS equipment it already doesn’t make sense anymore.
And we all know how logically the BR system in WT works huh

nope… havent played it :stuck_out_tongue: btw what is VS equipment?

Volkssturm.

Coldwar stuff being in 3.3 or sth. like this. Yeah, totally works.

Yeah now its just WT with rifles.

Your panzer4H figth some is7

well if they keep this game purely ww2 it could work. and if they add cold war stuff, then they need to expand BR to 20 or smth.

Not really since early Berlin gear is not that much better or worse than starter stuff in Moscow apart from tanks.

well i would make berlin more of late war weapon fest with semi automatics, smg-s and AR-s and would have given early starter stuff to more early war campaigns.

and overall you would be matched against similarly equipped people and how they will make it work idk. so late war tank+early war rifles should match you to berlin with people with similar weapons (or slightly better) or they will match you to earlier campaign. i need some answers from Q&A to actually see how it will work, cause everything we have for now is guesswork.

Thats not how 1945 Germany really works and is just stupid.

If everything relies on tanks, this makes it feel even more like WT.

cool for me.

yeah i know, but i can already see people bitching about getting berlin constantly from low level to high level. i mean soviets used t-34 there and germans used older tanks also (dont ask me what kind, but i know that they used older and obsolete tanks besides new panther and tiger tanks). theoretically you could easily get berlin with same equipment as in moscow (even with tanks). that is why i would lock berlin MM with minimum rating of 5. and how that 5 would be calculated that i would leave to devs. personally i prefer either weighted average or max BR. pure average just has too many abuse potential in new MM.

it relies heavily on tanks and planes. so yeah this is WT with infantry…

Mostly because of map design…

Ey man seriously, all the effort in locking and limiting is just a single unnecessary mess which is pretty much like having campaigns but just loose because the devs have no better clue in how to fix the player number imbalance.
Just rework the damn campaigns and make them more unique.

Not cool for many though

it needs to be that way for game to be more flexible and to balance equipment and human players. if you continue on campaign system you will just have more and more separate campaign queues, have less human players, would have heavy equipment imbalance and they wouldnt be able to add new campaigns.

with BR MM they have way to add people to different campaigns even if number of campaigns is 100 without affecting quality of matches.

I dont know how you will be more flexible with less total slots, one “team” for entire campaigns and phases. I also dont know how certain factions will be more flexible if they are still locked.

If your campaigns are shit, full of pointless copy+pastes and do not have anything which resembles some sort of hard work, you don’t need to wonder if no one comes. If your entire gameplay is buggy, clumpsy, cheap, has awful maps and your prestige AI is still dumb as bread, people will still not come back.

If your development team is full of morons who always do the laziest way, its no wonder that this game is just alive because of some fremium whales.

And I am not Shivex to justify this with babysteps after 2,5 years beta (plus alpha), tons of feedback from us, frozen low player numbers and that they charge triple A prices for crap guns.

There will be no new campaign so why even bother to name them like this?

Its like we need to be afraid…

Wouldn’t the Chi-Ha Short be able to kill it?
