The soviet always have poorer weapons, tanks. And the soviet win rate especially in squad mode is horriblely low. In solo mode, soviet still get <50% winrate. If you have any doubt, I can provide most of my aftermatch result screenshots to prove this.
Weapons aspect:
Poor LMG:
Madsen recoil is worse than ZB26.
Soviet dosent have same weapon class as MG13. MG13’s sight is sooo superior than Madsen. Also much more faster firerate, less recoil.
Where is the soviet’s DP27??? WTF this most used LMG for soviet dosent appears in this game??? Why they are only used for placeholder???
Poor Bolt-rifle:
For both two basic rifle: M1907 and G33/40. The most annoying part is the sight, without the aimer’s ring, M1907 is much more harder to aim. That’s why I only use 98K/G33/40 not prewar 98K/VZ24.
Even premium weapons is unbalanced:
The only superior feature of PPK is it has 3 more bullets per mag.
MP41 IS A NOOB & LASER GUN! With more damage, faster firerate, less recoil, and can use semiauto mode.
The slight higher bullet travel speed is useless when PPK distance damage is 0.5 less than MP41.
We only recommend new people to buy german premium pack because PPK is not even better than PPD. Why waste 20USD on that four limited trash, and the trash soviet faction.
SMGs:
Yes, after the PPD buff, soviet only SMG is now useful. But, PPD drum’s bullet is so insufficient than MPs. Using MPs, you hardly run out of ammo, because +18 more bullets, and slower firerate.
Also, when killing someone, PPD can use much more bullets due to its less damage, and, most of all, the BAD NETCODE! This game’s netcode is ???. WT isnt sensitive at net speed/latency due to it’s vehicle vs vehicle, but Enlisted is FPS game! Current weird hit registration also just intentional sending you to wrong server, cause you shoot more then you actually need to. Also possible bullet missing problems. This makes PPD LOST its great advantage: its extreme high firerate.
unpaired weapons:
SVT: This should be a good rifle weapon, but due to its poor damage, and high recoil, it just dont suit as a sniper weapon. Just remove the scope and use as a normal semiauto rifle. It is more useful than same tier preway 98k scope rifle.
TOZ-BvsMP38: TOZB is very useful at very close range. But MP38 let german get a “slight slower reload MP40” a good SMG as well.
Vehicle aspects:
MUCH worse tanks than german’s.
T60vsPZ2C. like??? PZ2C’s front armor is better than T60. Also the most important part: T60 has NO CHANCE to penetrate PZ2C in distance. PZ2C has 50% more crew members than T60.
T26vsPZ3B: These two tanks are both has very poor armor. But PZ3B has 66% more Crew members. And PZ3B is more FASTER than T26. T26 has faster turret turning speed, but it’s useless when PZ3B can just simply turn the whole vehicle around.
BT7vsPZ3E: BT7 is the same vulnerable as T26/PZ3B. But has faster speed, so that’s can help escaping from explosives. PZ3E has 66% more Crew members. BUT PZ3E’s armor is so SICK that it’s more hard to let the explosives to get damage to the tank. At same distance, explosives can do greater damage to BT7 than PZ3E.
Also, the most ridiculous part: T60 has NO WAY to penetrate PZ3E’s front face. I’ve always make fun of soviet T60: Just drive my PZ3E direct to T60 and let them shoot at my tank as they like, then push the T60 back or even push them to the river. Meanwhile, BT7 isnt invulnerable to PZ2C. (PZ2C is pretty OP)
And, even BOTS can penetrate BT7 using their AT rifle. Bots can be very accurate at shooting enemies even inside the tanks. Using PZ3E, I NEVER feels afraid of bots. While PTRD is harder to penetrate a PZ3E.
BTW: The most important part affecting a match balance is the difference of player number in each side of that match. Though unbalanced weapons and vehicles can also lead to a higher playerbase difference of two sides.
