Been playing a lot recently and grinding after I bought premium. Now this game is in beta, so I feel like I should report my experience when I went on to grind Tunisia. I’m sure others have already reported this extensively, but it is absolutely unbalanced.
Tunisia Axis is ridiculously weak compared to Allies. In ALL GAMES I’ve played as Axis in Tunisia for the last 3 days, my team lost, while also in ALL GAMES I’ve played as Allies in Tunisia, my team won. This is ridiculous. And note that I barely saw any bots in-game, so this wasn’t the case of everybody queuing allies and fighting against a bot-only enemy team. It also isn’t a map issue, as it happens on every map. It is so bad right now that it is difficult to grind for both sides - as the Axis, because you always lose, and as the Allies, because the matches end too quickly. I’ve seen Invasion matches where the majority of the players did not even reach 1000 exp.
It seems new campaign levels will be added to Tunisia in the next update. So something should be done to address this blatant unbalance as, currrently, the campaign is barely playable and just not as fun as the others, which is a shame, as it has some good things going (like the great bolt-action gameplay, which is one of the best parts of this game). If there was something to at least incentivize people to grind axis (idk, maybe add the Tiger tank?) and thus get more high-level players to play them, it would help at least a bit.
Also, ffs, fix the animations for reloading 10-round mag rifles, like the Enfields. It’s just so bad seeing your soldier add 10 new rounds even though you still had 5 left. How hard can it be to fix? One of the things that I really liked about the game when I first played it was the realistic bullet per bullet reload for bolt-actions. This is almost absent in Tunisia. I’m not sure I would keep playing the game if I started today by playing a few matches in Tunisia.

Ok, just because you don’t see any bots doesn’t mean the players themselves will be good since at the moment most good axis players are likely on Normandy. So it’s very much likely a player base issue with the axis not having as much skilled or high lvled players
I doubt this, almost every match I have played has had at least one squad with MG34s, a weapon ONLY available to Bot squads.
Also another item of note is the Berretta M38/42, the last unlock currently available, which is usually fielded with a “player” getting less that 10 kills per match.
Allied bot squads are easier to spot as they have unique clothing, but the Axis ones do exist, but are more subtle.
It is frustraiting, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say this.
Some of my best matches have been on this mode.
Feck no, or at least not yet.
Allies have the grant, so logically, they’ll see the Crusader (already leaked by accident) and a Sherman, as well as some form of Allied TD before the Churchill to match the Tiger.
So, by that logic, we’ll at least see a variant of the Pz.3 and 4, before the Tiger rears its ugly head.
This is such a minor gripe in the grand scheme of the game, so I’m not overly worried.
The axis could use a good anti-infantry tank fur sure, but other than that where do they seem lacking?
The carcanos are good rifles, the carcanos sniper is great for its fast reload and easy to use scope. The selection of smgs is excellent and the lmgs are comparable to those of the allies.
My guess is Germany is getting the mg34 and a panzer IV for the next update, with the allies getting the bar and the crusader maybe.

OK, this forum seems blessed. Every thing I complain about here gets fixed or improved almost instantly afterwards. After I posted this, I won 5 times in a row as Axis Tunisia and finished grinding them to the level I wanted. Then I lost a match as Allies!
Though, to be fair, 2 of the victories had to do with mass-disconnects (then, I saw a lot of bots) and I won’t retract what I said about Axis needing a buff in the update, because I do think that’s the case.
And no, in the last 3 days I don’t think there were many bots, most of the games were basically 10v10s with no dcs and loads of tanks and planes on both teams. Speaking of mass disconnects, that’s the game’s main issue in 10v10 - free exp for people who join mid-battle (if they kill at least 10 enemies) when? Just give 75 exp per minute of battle before the player joined and I bet 90% of the issues with matchmaking will be gone.
Exactly, is extremely rare find bots or more than 1 in the matches right now. I played a lot of FPS and this especifically a lot of hours (yah i waste a lot of time just to studying the ai behavior). But as far as i can asnwer this is “Welcome to an FPS” from anyone trying to reach the point on BF to a reaaaly bad teams on CoD.
About the equipment stuff i can agree with you, i think that to unlock the engieenier up to lvl 9 on Axis is a lot of time.
50\50. Basic balance is on ally side, but not so critical like Normandy. Also, there are more toplevel pleyers on ally side.
Know, because of playing Tunisia a lot on axis side (and a little on british side), without premium.
My stats, at the moment when I stopped grinding, and go check early RKKA.
