I never noticed Stalingrad testing anything except 4 star everything, and certainly not BA’s with +90% damage compared to the other campaigns!
Bollocks - almost every 1 of my squads still has a bolt action - with the exception of Allied Normandy where they are inappropriate for US troops, and Tunisia, where god knows hte Axis needs any advantage it can get so I’ve spent a lot of silver on semi-autos!
Always could compete - because most people in any given game are NOT top level.
Being better than autos, or even “just as good” is not the same as being competitive.
Good example - HLL is NOT a progressive game - because although you do have levels they do NOT provide large advantages in anything, as you have pointed out - unlike Enlisted.
Cant’ wait for Explosive packs and large grenade pouches to be available to Lvl 1 (already had a newbie calling for grenade pouches to be canned 'cos they “aren’t fair”), sniper FG42’s for engineers and riflemen, all small arms to be free and do away with bronze and silver economy and all weapons to be max starred right from the beginning…Tiger 1’s for the Puma squad… same logic - everything has to be competitive… right??
You see mate, if you use this kind of setup, doesnt mean the majority of high level players use it. They use SFs, SMGs, and LMGs only. Aka they spam full auto.
That is still true
Oh yes always could compete.
3 shot someone who has vitality.
And no full autos are still better.
Id take a PPSH in enlisted any day to storm an objective, which is what you do in the game
Not the same as +90% - stop shifting the goalposts
You said auto 24/7 - pointing out your argument is not true - sorry you have to shift your goalposts again…
That is still true
Yes I recall all the complaints about all of this before the change… NOT!
Ah - and then whining straight into an ad hominem - sucks when you realise you don’t actually have an argument and you have to resort to attacking the person.
Nice one - yes you are right - you do smell a skill issue - go take a shower.
Well a bunch of people didn’t like me giving actual reasons why this is a bad change - expected that of course.
No great problem - I’m fully aware of the lack of intellectual honesty and firepower (sic) that goes into most arguments about “game balance”.
Unlike the people here who can’t handle a reasonably present argument I didn’t expect better, even though these people have on occasions shown the ability to think clearly.
This argument is invalid. I don’t see people ditching G43s and FG42s for the K98 with AT grenade launcher, that weapon is a very late unlock and is higher level than both of them.
I do exactly that - I equip my late level rifle squads, and sometimes 2-3 riflemen in other squads, with grenade launchers in all campaigns - a very useful piece of kit.
Yes that is a glaring exception to the rule - but generally hte rule still stands.
And sure there are people who “abuse” the later gear - that is par for the course.
But here’s a funny wee thing - I was banned from this forum for 6 months after changing my avatar to say something nasty about hte president of Russia and completely missed the discussion about increased BA damage in Stalingrad, although I do recall the announcement… but I never looked at the stats in Stalingrad, and it made no difference at all to my gameplay!
Honestly BA buff exists because automatic spam. I don’t think anyone ever had a issues with semi autos so that leaves automatics and this game lets you use TOO many automatics, period.
But limiting assaulters and SFRs would cause a uproar because “I payed for these/grinded hours”. So sadly it had to come to this.
I agree to your suggestion.This update seriously suck.Berf of bolt-action rifle makes more camper.So the man who always capture strategies keep capturing others are not.So we have to nurf the demage of bolt-action rifle
Exactly. Mostly it is problem by their Low Skills, so to speak.
I partially agree with this, but though current level system is pretty bad. It need to be reworked, kinda like as an tech tree which can imtergrate other campaigns.
If they truely wanted this for Newcomers, they could have done it much better way by like Adding MMR based Matches, Reduced number of Automatic weapons per squad and etc.
I mostly agree with you, and still cant understand why they just have rushed the Bolt-Action buff in this hurry, making all the fuss.
