Just like the title says - I believe we really should give each type of weapon or vehicle a rating score based on performance and then let people only fight against others that have a comparable BR score.
I propose that we do 5 BRs.
Sarcasm aside, yes of course I haven’t been sleeping under a rock - but if you guys try to be honest to yourselves, you got to admit that the BRs don’t matter much, since effectively there are only 2 matching queues.
So… how actually fixing this system so it performs the way it is supposed to?
Spoiler: each BR should fight against the same BR - unless there aren’t enough players - then the matching system should allow for + or - 1BR as a match → NOT BOTH because a BR1 should never face BR3 and BR3 should never face BR5.

They never did. Fleshbags are notoriously weak to bullets. Whether you’re aiming an M1903 at someone or an M2 Carbine, they’ll die all the same
Needs more decompression.
At higher BR there are more semi auto for everyone and players at that level tend to have more auto firepower. And that’s precisely why currently low BR Japanese become unplayable. As the US trees merged US players tend to have more firepower than Japs so just play US BR III and you’ll have a chance to brutalize BR I & II Japanese players running bolt-actions only with your Garands.
They do matter once two powerful teams meet each other, Bots can be dealt with by only using Pistols.

Personally I prefer taking on V Krauts for the challenge, but I also like competent teams who don’t quit the second they see V Krauts, so BR III gives me a good mix of the two
10 minute matches are boring no matter how you slice it though. I like getting triple digit body counts, and can’t do that in steamrolls
There are plenty of players who will let you bully them with pistols. Got a video of one letting me bully him by switching between my BAR and M1911A1
How will this battle rating be measured?
Not by how it is working right now, the matchmaker should put great priority into filling lobbies with only one single BR - however if a certain time threshold is overstepped it should allow for one more BR to participate.

M1903: fire one bullet and start cycling the bolt
M2 Carbine: 8 kills and fresh mag loaded in
“basically the same”

I mean, technically speaking a bolt action has all the potential in the world to make a great player come out on top in a direct 1v1 player vs player fight - you need only one shot to kill.
But this is a AI Squad based game - you need to take out AI fast, which requires big magazines and DPS.

Shoots then backs into cover
rinse and repeat till the squad is wiped
The AI find it near impossible to hit you if you cycle in and out of cover between shots. Not that hard to pull off. You just gotta hope the player isn’t smart enough to dome you in the middle of it
then we can have some thing actually usable for custom games to shape game rules too.
Current tatty BR 12345 condition just unusable for custom games

You don’t even need actual cover for bots, any solid objects will reset their “aim timer”, you can literally abuse it by “hiding” (sweeping whatever they are aiming at) behind 5cm thick “tree”
But that’s not really the point i was making lol
