This is what happens when You make the things easier for soviets and harder for germans they are just murdering any sense of challenge while facing an enemy
And i can agree with this statement i play br 3 soviets and well is like turning off My brain and just cycle "pPSh_41 BoX, SvT-38 anD RmN-50"these weapons on the rigth hands are OP as hell the stadistics don’t lie loosing with soviets only means that You got stomped by a stack or learned a new lesson abt how to play this crappy Game as a team or at least cooperate minimally
Anyone cycling SMGs on Soviets is just part of the problem that makes GE so bad tbh. Second part of that problem is GE players thinking that using their own SMGs will level the playfield, instead of understanding they have weapons that allow them to deal with Soviets with ease.
As for soviets stomping, no. I’d say the pride in their weapons, SMGs specifically, is actually a weakness since it makes them easy pickings at medium/long range, so you can wipe SMG squads even before they get close to CP and deny them their CQB advantage.
Wonderful example of no, soviets don’t curbstomp, they are just as bad as an average GE player and not even the edge of their weapons can help them much, they just have a higher chance of getting a good player on their team who can win them the game.
And this was all achieved with a mere bolt-action gameplay with a tiny bit of forced MG usage. So no, don’t need any SMGs to achieve a win and that goes for all factions, be it Soviets, GE, US or Japs.
SMGs arent the Main problem gotta admmit yes soviets have adventage on CQB but lets be honest are You using a SMG on mid/long ranges? (Because i do pls don’t tell me in the only) And beggin with TTK is 4-5 shoots 3 if luckly but once again soviets cleary are an exception from what i see uragan smg is a Beast on mid range ppsh box too but is better at CQB (since it has been needed cuz buggy dispersión)
By the way German smgs arent too powerfull from what i see only exception is the ZK which is very solid and the kirally too but overall soviets have the adventage when it comes to SMGs over all
But if You have problems spamming smgs i can guarantee that RMN-50 is Even worse (no really WTF WITH THIS GUN) i feel like shit using it …
And it also seems You don’t see the problem from My perspective if You really think soviets are Bad at ranges maybe i should introduce to You the SVT-38 and the AVT-40-20 which is better than their analogs
Specially the last one since if You have played this Game enough You Will see that on br 5 SMG AR and sometimes Even MGs are useless to 9 man squad spam with automatic rifles
There is the Mkb 35 at BR II, that one is a slapper, sadly a battlepass weapon only though. If it were a regular weapon I think it could stand up to PPS. Not in CQB of course, but it has advantages in other area that I’d say put it on the same level.
Never really need to, just know my way around to avoid long range engagements, plus supressing reinforcements is better done via Bolts/Semis or MGs tbh.
Not my problem really, rather it kills the ecosystem and enjoyment for newbies, especially at lower BRs so it’s more like a problem for the whole community, since making the game unappealing will just turn away new players. Ordinarily it would be a long-term problem, but seeing WT adding infantry might cause it to increase in severity.
The players are bad at ranges, not the faction. They offer some great weapons, but they are often overlooked due to the low effort high performance guns. The fact I can go Winchester in BR V and still do top of the team says enough about the players.
This already happens all the time. To give you an example, a little while back when they had a big sale and brought back some old squads on discount, I bought, among others, the MG13 w/ drum mag squad. Naturally, I wanted to play Germany Br3. Played about two dozen matches over the course of a couple days and all of them were the same. The German team would get spawncamped for like 20 minutes until the timer ran out, didn’t matter what I did or how well I played, the result was always the same. Why? Because people didn’t wanna play Germany Br3 at that time so if you were someone who did, you were stuck playing unwinnable matches nonstop. Meanwhile, i’ve been having the exact opposite experience the last couple days i’ve been playing.
If abandoned brs is something you’re concerned about then 0± br should be a top priority. Look no further than br4, which has been left to rot since its inception because of the current matchmaking.
MGs aren’t really a problem, SMGs at low br absolutely are though.
I’d rather see said blatantly strong weapons get nerfed to a more reasonable level then have their availability restricted
It’s simply the name of the game, the way Enlisted is designed encourages aggressive and (usually) close quarters engagements. It’s not a problem on it’s own, the problem comes from Gaijin taking the class of weapons that do this best at low brs (SMGS) and buffing them to such a degree that it leaves everything else in the dust.
Issue is those blatantly overpowered weapons are often what makes certain factions unique. If you nerf them to be on a reasonable level, you’ll have to do the same for the other factions and their wonder weapons. That would just lead to the factions being practically the same except for vehicles and uniforms.
Isn’t that partly a fault of the tech tree being underdeveloped for Japs and US there? I mean sure, there ain’t many Soviets or GEs there neither, but having only Soviets dunking it out with GE is probably also not interesting when the main candy like KT, STG44, FG42, AS-44, IS or other weapons are just a BR higher.
Well then either you nerf them by stats, as you mentioned or by accessibility, as per my idea. Either works but both are unwelcome by the large part of community.
It was not an accident, some guy invited me and I just switched my AT and vehicles just in case. Wasn’t bothered enough to switch to my BR V loadout. Plus was keen on seeing how bolt could fare in pure environment where semis/autos are a must.
Still waiting for that body armor nerf, or it’s restriction to certain squads, but that will never happen. META will not change and neither will faction specific BS. Especially since I’ve heard rumours that the devs play in their custom lobbies and thus have no real experience with casual matchmaking, so they don’t have to deal with this headache at all. Kind of explains their balancing methods.
Honestly waiting though, since the US got the T26E1, I am honestly expecting an IS-3 to show up sooner or later. Not like we’re keeping this game historical anyway. At that point I can’t even imagine the storm that’ll be happening on the GE side.
Tecnically did the same sadly don’t have the proff of that Match but i got around 80-100 kills with uragan and winchesters (and if You ask me it was fun)
Sit down here brother i’m waiting for the same since 2 years and i’m going for the 3rd year at this point
LMFAO seems true after all because devs don’t seems to play their Game since they arent giving what we need
IS-3 Is garbage since is same cannon it just have better armor Best we can have is T-44-100 but since Japan gas joined to the equation nope we can’t give that to soviets since Japan is alredy FUCKING SCREWED WITH A KV-1 hell i feel like i’m killing unarmored civilians while using a Russian tank against japanese
pls don’t tell me in the only) And beggin with TTK is 4-5 shoots 3 if luckly but once again soviets cleary are an exception from what i see uragan smg is a Beast on mid range ppsh box too but is better at CQB (since it has been needed cuz buggy dispersión)
