Everyone knows that Germany is getting spanked in Berlin currently, what if the day’s win rate were displayed on the home screen and an XP bonus offered for playing the losing faction? Say it increases the more that faction is behind. This would encourage more players to Queue for a losing faction and also encourage players to play both factions instead of focusing on one.
What do you guys think?
I agree, Berlin on Soviet is ROFL Stomp
I highly recommend people to play Axis Berlin and see the real balance yourself. My experience as Axis is very unpleasant after reaching level 12
In my opinion it would be better to give +x% xp bonus if you are have “join any team” enabled. It would help balance out differences in the pop count in all campaigns.
Situation in Berlin is imo similar to the CBT in Moscow. There is simply not enough players, but this time on German, not Russian side. It is a perfect example of why this implementation of paid tests that devs chose doesn’t work. The results are simply flawed and any attempts to balance them without enough players can lead to even worse problems.
Problem in Moscow resolved itself after going into OBT. So I would see what happens after we all get access to the full progression in Berlin.
But overall I kinda agree with @VoyoMayPL - option to join any team enabled should give some exp bonuses to encourage to use it.
Devs know the win rate of every faction. But it’s their decision to balance it or not, depending on whether it would make more paid players happy.
Win rate alone is pretty meaningless stat. When defenders ignore defend and rushes to points that was lost over 30 sec ago, only caring their stats and not winning while attackers actually plays objective its pretty clear who will and deserves win.
Also if people really want to win they should use more engineers.
btw today i have won over 80% of matches while playing at axis.
unofrtunately, it’s hard to balance things out as the majority can only use standards squads, and standards rifle ( without being able to upgrade them ). we can only improve it, once everyone has acess to the progression and campaign level.
i played berlin, and it’s somewhat fun, but without even being able to test or do anything with it, it’s hard for me to give a proper feedback and start some suggestion about tweaks as such.
but nontheless, once it will be open for everyone, i’m sure threads will start growing and a balance will be founded.
the only thing that i see, is that there are more bots than actual players ( for the german side ).
it’s not that bad. but does not help.
weather for the main thread,
i have neutral feelings about it. wouldn’t hurt for trying it. that’s sure.
A very valid option. I would like to see “Any campaign any team” As well.
Also when more players get progression im affraid that germany will win most matches if devs dont change friendly fire for planes. Currently germans can just smash 250kg bombs to cap zone and those will only kill soviets
I am an advocate of friendly fire in all modes, players should not be rewarded for using such munitions in a reckless way.
Another valid option is real time xp so not wait for match end for have xp

Berlin in alpha was the only way around. Had a more powerfull German side. One reason for that was the smaller capture points that lead to some stagnation on the battlefield.
But it’s all good. We can’t win every match.
