Lost first point before I could even spawn, playing Japanese pacific.
Lost 2nd point by the time I spawned and got a rally down. Before anyone asks, I have gigabit internet and PCIe SSDs. The game is allowing this to happen. We need more wait time before games start. I really don’t mind waiting for a higher quality game play.
I played Squad before they fully implemented that feature. They only had transport trucks and HUMVEE’s it was a mess but so much fun. You even had friendly fire in the main base, and it really wasn’t even a big problem until the game got popular. Too bad the developers changed directions and started to cater every update to vehicles, it was so much more fun when it was more infantry focused. I’m afraid that is what is going to happen here. Players that play vehicles the most tend to be the squeaky wheel that gets the grease it seams.
yes and usually they dont know nothing but greyzoning and suicide planes, tanks are good if you use them agressively like charging points as infantry support but no there is always those that camp in the rear.
Unfortunately Japan is dead. There are no players. I am fighting 2 vs 7 most of time. Do not bother with Japan until the merge hits. Unless you have a willpower as strong as a mountain.
the problem is the meta, whatever is thought to be the meta becomes the meta when all the experienced players start acting like it is, maybe give a buff for playing factions in maps that are not popular and another for being there at the end of the match, not just a nerf for desertion,
Well, they did give buffs to a specific side of a specific campaign, namely Tunisia axis. The devs gave Paratroopers with flamethrower, very good gold order weapon (Breda PG (CR)) and a very good semi-auto event rifle (Breda PG (Carcano))
In less than a week the Tunisia campaign went from complete allied botfarm to complete axis botfarm. This did not change the main issue at all.
this was bound to happen, as people wanted to finally get a chance to grind as the Axis since the start of the campaign, as soon as they got the chance, they jumped on it.
Tunisia was an empty bot farm, now its less empty bot farm.
giving some toys to Japan and Berlin allies however wouldnt produce as bad results as Tunisia since the currently farming side is stacked full with players.
Not that DF cares about balance anymore, its all temporary and will be solved with the merge or so at least we think so.
I think you are right, and it should have left the choice of sides out from the beginning. I know that would have sucked from a grinding standpoint but with the state of things im okay with it.
So after the merge, whats going to keep people from migrating to one side like it is now?
TANKS are ok for 5m then their pretty useless their g3et knocked out by anto tank weapons in 3 secs if their facignhighteir players so I use em knwooing their last 5mins other wise unless u have good t34- or tigers n panthers waste of time bombers are better planes maybe I not sure
