I have took part in 3 battles to use Soviet Red Army to fight against Japan in BRV, 3 assult battle, totally caputred 2 control points.
When I figtht against German Wehrmacht, sometimes I still win the battle.
I will RAGE with you to BALANCE THE GAME
German and Soviet arsenal got their advantages differently, but it’s semi-balanced on most maps. BRV Japan weapons are similar to German with better auto rifle and tank, and that advantage is well utilized by its players, but the lack of fine (only “fine”, not advantageous or “overpowered” in some opinions Sov ones) SMGs and assault rifles is worse comparing to German, and only having a strange BRV MG.
And it is worsened by “bad player base” and especially those who brings low BR weapons and vehicles to BRV. For Mosin Snipers they use never being advantageous comparing to other factions’ option.
And if all players are not familiar with the map, it’s usually better for defenders.
Soloing as br3 Japan against Russia has been miserable. Worst experience I’ve had on Enlisted. Worse than playing as Tunisia Axis, Berlin Allies and Normandy Axis during the campaign system.
Similar problem. Sov BR3 got better close-quarter firepower and tank with PPsh and KV, while the situation reversed on BRV with Type Hei and Ho-Ri.
