Because if everything goes as intended the end game level BR when the Germans have to fight the Soviets will probably be something special.
And yes this is another long post but stop and really think about it when 10 versus 10 is a thing when the BR goes into effect letting the Soviets have functioning body armor and be able to reload explosives will cause some problems when people start to abuse certain mechanics.

-Soviet main
here we go again losing brain cells for the " axis " main asking stuff that he doesn’t need to begin with…
( while obviously crying to the opposition )
Its getting boring. Come with something new.
To be fair, functioning body armor locked to only one faction is pure BS.
Its just 10% damage reduction, but it does make a difference that has no right to exist in the first place.
true, no faction should have a competitive bonus.
That could yield tragic results since high BR will be full of sweaty meta spammers.
it’s called…
asymetrical balance.
axis gets X and Y, Soviets gets Z and K.
as a proud volkssturmer with bolties, i have yet to find this body armor an actual issue for my bullets.
Nonsence, there is no asymmetrical balance, both sides have equally potent gear, only armor is exclusive without any drawback
Also bolt actions are the exception
what you have just spouted is actually nonsense.
normandy is the primal examples.
equipment is not the same. nor really that balanced
do you even play this game?
soviets have some of the worst tanks and airplanes in the game.
“”“we”" got king tigers, Fws with almost more effective payload and actual good fighters.
soviets got same tank with almost same weapons with the exception of the IS-2, which it’s unironically bad. ( the 44 varient it’s somewhat better, but the long reload didn’t changed )
you’re putting your self at disadvantage because the shell doesn’t work and the armor can be penned even by a panzer IV. ( i mean, hey, it’s an is2. it’s relatively great for immersion )
but it really doesn’t have much going for it.
soviets in the weapons compartment have most drums with shit ton of dispersion and longer reload times.
not to mention, soviets bolties are worse. as they don’t have many to begin with.
in berlin, as an axis player, you barely lack anything.
not gonna victim blaming, but if you find that to be an issue, and you keep doing the same thing with the same weapons getting the same results, look inward.
the smgs are not the problem.
i can tell you that much
as for op, if you really find that to be too much of an advantage, how about you ask for a speed reduction when using that said armor? that would have been much better and logical rather than crying for out loud.
Listen, we had a similar discussion before about you only caring about bolt action rifles and that all other guns have no right to be balanced anyways - simply because you don’t care.
You specifically claiming that armor is no balance issue “because it doesn’t effect bolt actions” shows your bias and hypocrisy.
Also non of the “german tanks better bro” argument counts anyways since the IS 2 being worse than the Kingtiger is not intended. The devs just don’t know what really matters in vehicle balance.
Also the fact that you think IS 2 is useless because “Panzer IV can pen it” shows that you have no clue about balance anyways.
Yeah was thinking about the same thing, 10% less movement speed for 10% more effective HP seems fair.
Nah it work with all gun but is useful only aganaist pistol, all other weapons have to high dps for care about of the damage reduction
Pistols only? Other people claim its 10% flat - which combined with the vitality perk should make you survive semi auto hits.
that’s quite the straw man argument to avoid completely the main point.
funny. but you don’t really know my line up.
especially since i upgraded and went with my fully luftwaffe composition.
i just stated that you have the biggest issues with an smg, you can try with bolties.
isn’t that the main point?
is 2 and king tigers are not similar.
even if it doesn’t work like it should, those are still asymetrical " balanced " which mostly stand for, different.
can compete against each other.
again, you’re missing the point.
Well considering Valery is one of the devs
i’d take his word over random retards on the forum
When you start playing at end game people are gonna bring out all the sweatiest strats and you’ll be fighting squads of bots with body armor and that’s where you’ll also see the most exotic weapons appearing as well especially the RM50 which you can reload and most veterans have it in their arsenal lying around somewhere.
Well so goes the argument, gg this whole discussion is now useless.
up until Tiger II H, T-34/85 d5 could pen all Axis tanks frontally so its just that Berlin tanks are strong even on lvl 1.
Like
One of the helpers could pop in and prove his statement wrong at any point provided its with proof
But his answer on that remained the same from the very beginning
