New Meta: Q&A

[gromvoiny]

@Veekay45

I didn’t know the forum restricted users to only communicating in one language subsection.

Fine, I guess.

@gromvoiny

The new matchmaking isn’t about historical accuracy, but about balance of power

Thanks, but some of my questions are still unanswered:

• Moroccans in Pacific yes or no?
• MKB on Moscow maps yes or no? (we don’t have campaigns now so there is no need to use Moscow maps for MKB)
• T-26 vs Semovente in Berlin yes or no? (will Berlin maps be tied to high BR stuff or “anything goes”?)

1. The only rule is that USA squads can’t be above certain level to get matched against Japan on the Pacific maps. Since there’s no GB as a separate nation, it’s technically possible.
2. It will depend on power rating the MKB gets. If it’s a hightier weapon, then it will be a rare sight in Moscow.
3. As in example above, it won’t happen unless there’s too few people in the matchmaking pool, like already explained about this “soft rule” mechanic.

@Adamnpee

Problem was that it could get into battle with early war equipment

It is not a problem, at least for me

[ForlorN]

It can as far as I heard. Low level BR equipment only is possible in Berlin

[Veekay45]

@gromvoiny

So, for example, although MP 3008 is a last ditch effort late war SMG, it’s a “low-tier” weapon under the new system and you won’t often get matches in Berlin or Normandy when using the squad equipped with it.

Exactly this:

@Adamnpee

Wouldn’t be better just increase its stats and bring it to berlin BR?

Why not make it comparable with PPS-42 (MP 3008 is still a 7,63mm SMG, it still hurts, basically a Sten copy, and lock it to Berlin?)

Also

@gromvoiny

The new matchmaking isn’t about historical accuracy

Saddest sentence I’ve heard in a while
Look where we got from “The weaponry, soldier’s uniform, appearance and capabilities of the vehicles in the game are in line with historical facts”

[Astulian]

Is it squad itself or individual soldiers who will keep access to AR’s? If I buy 60 stalingrad engies, can I use 10 full engie squads with AR’s,
or will I be able to place an engineer from Berlin in a squad from Stalingrad who will be able to use MKb42 now?
Can he use, say, STG-44 as well?

Moroccans in Pacific: yes or no?

Most likely, they will get less colorful uniforms for other timelines. It is still being discussed. But as a squad, because they are part of the allied army, they may be encountered in the Pacific.

@Veekay45

MKB on Moscow maps yes or no?

It is possible.

@Veekay45

T-26 vs Semovente in Berlin yes or no?

It is possible too. Less likely than high-BR Berlin, but still.

[Adamnpee]

@Liah_Kim

It is not a problem

Yeah, I never said it’s super unbearable problem I just suggested solution that works better for me/makes more sense to me.

I really dont understand your overdramatic reaction. You could just say that you disagree.

[Shiivex]

I completly missed it.

Thank you so much.

Now I m more than pleased with this news.

Looking foward to play it.

[gastanofrizzi]

Thnaks keo this is a good news for a better balance, if i can ask because italian and commowealth squad become merged in US and Germany major tech tree, they get uniform for different envoriment (map)? or they keep use only the desert uniform?

[Adamnpee]

@Veekay45

Why not make it comparable with PPS-42 (MP 3008 is still a 7,63mm SMG, it still hurts, basically a Sten copy, and lock it to Berlin?)

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind I just think it would be shame to put it lazily into low br matches against early war setups

[Veekay45]

@gromvoiny

it’s technically possible.

Tragic.
I honestly can’t believe there is a single developer who thinks “Moroccans in the Pacific is a great idea and not a failure”.

@gromvoiny

a rare sight in Moscow

@_Movmav

It is possible.

Tragic. Serial production started in 1943, battle of Moscow ended in early 1942.
Literally zero reason to see MKB in Moscow especially after the campaigns are removed.

But thanks for the ride, it’s been a nice 2 years.

They could just rename Moscow maps to fit any any random Soviet villages (they look all the same afterall) and spread it Between more BR levels.

Those are good maps so I really wouldn’t mind.

[Veekay45]

I guess, as a half measure, yes. Though will be weird seeing a very Russian looking monastery with late war gear.

However I am still very, very worried about Stalingrad and Berlin city centers, recreated 1:1, about to see some insane stuff on their streets.

[ForlorN]

@1942786 will you keep several tanks of the same kind (Tiger E for example) or just keep the highest upgraded one?

Main problem here is a lack of counters to Fedorov, I think.
I would maybe sugggest introducing FN BAR model 1930 as a assault rifle (without bipod and with weaker then 7.92 cartridge) as an alternative.
At least it kinda fits the historical timeline, Jerries looted many of them in Benelux.

[Adamnpee]

@Astulian

Because Fedorov is unreasonably good comparing to irl.

[gromvoiny]

Locking certain squads only to certain maps is counterproductive to the whole idea of getting rid of the campaigns.
Japan is an exception, but Italy and GB don’t have enough content to be presented as a separate nations in the new system and some compromises have to be made.

[Myrm1don]

Id bet federov is high br cos of power level. Probably will no longer see moscow unless its a high br match

[Veekay45]

@Astulian

Main problem here is a lack of counters to Fedorov, I think.

Yep, Fedorov is way too OP for a WW1 design with limited use during the Winter War and Barbarossa where “anything goes” was the strategy – it really should be a low BR/gold order weapon comparable to MP-28.

[ForlorN]

Will we be able to have customizable loadouts for tanks and planes depending on what “campaign”/map we get?

Like we will have for squads?
