A few days ago, I started playing “Any Army” to farm faster, but something really caught my eye: the Axis players have improved, or do they have “reinforcements” from players of other factions? I’ve seen highly coordinated attacks and a specific tactic I hadn’t witnessed very often before: Japan players coordinating artillery and mortar smoke screens with fierce, synchronized assaults, and Germany players who finally know how to use their tanks’ capabilities instead of just rushing them onto the objective. There are also skilled pilots, and generally a good distribution of rally points across the map. On the other hand… Soviet players either don’t know what a rally point is, or if they do they place them in the most obvious spots. US players are consistent, though I often see them preferring to spam artillery rather than attack.
My point is that, generally speaking, I’ve only seen that level of skill and coordination frequently in BR5 (not always, please build rallys boys) or with the US faction, good pilots and long-range Sherman spammers (please again, learn from them Germany players)
Well, in general, it’s a really good thing for the teams, but we’ll see how long it lasts XD.
If you are playing Join Any 3 and 5 are you friend. Japan 5 is the sweatiest of all BRs and factions. USSR 3 and German 3 have superior map rotation. US 5 is a toss up. I think 3 is better. I did a post on what the return on JOIN ANY looks like. This is a current snapshot. If I am playing better than 50% win its that % being 1.2-1.3 I am always battle hero because it puts you in losing matches which is actually really easy to get badges.
Yeah, the same thing usually happens to me; nobody rallies or attacks, so a few other players and I end up doing most of the heavy lifting. That often means dying a lot in the process, haha.
US performance in BR2-3 is pretty average, BR3-4 is a tight contest. I couldn’t really say about BR4-5; I only played about three US matches at BR5, mostly just to test out the event Johnny’s LMGs and the Battle Pass SLR.
Japan is definitely smooth enough at BR5 it feels the most comfortable to play, in my opinion. With the Soviets, BR3 seems best, though I notice the Germans are quite solid in BR2-3. BR5 is pretty rough for the Germans, all those high-capacity SMGs and low recoil automatic rifles are really powerful compared to what Germany has in the same category. That’s why I find BR3-4-5 (using BR4 gear) the most acceptable range for them, especially with event weapons like Bredas an MKB42 M
By the way, Having squads equipped for different BRs across factions doesn’t affect matchmaking when set to “any player.”
