Suggestion for tech tree rework

Archive Suggestions - Archive
1

Many people would like 5 br levels instead of 10.
I think 7 would also be fine, but it’s really hard to balance less br levels because of tanks. For example: IS2 would smash tanks like the Pz IV series.
The game is just not there yet to have 10 br levels
I hope this gets atleast somewhat acknowledged by gaijin.
I do not have enough time right now to also make the squad list, but I will make that one aswell soon.
I mainly focused on Germanys and the USSRs weapons for balance so the USA and Japan tech trees are just squished down.
Definetly correct me if I made a mistake in the list.
Here is my tech tree with 7 br levels:

  1. SVT-38 unlocked at the start of level 4, Gewehr 41/43 at level 5, but M1 Garand at the end of level 5.

  2. Soviets get Panzerfaust 60 and Panzerfaust 100 earlier than Germans.

  3. PPS-42 and PPS-43 are too good to place them in BR 1.

This tank should break all tanks up to Tiger 2 in silhouette, at the moment they break only is 2

Why can’t we separate the infantry weapons BR from the tanks BR?

Final battle rating is estimated as the highest battle rating of a single weapon / tank / plane and tanks are integral part of the game.

Suggestion 1 - Stop, don’t do it, don’t implement this planned update

Suggestion 2 - Re Assess what you are trying to fix

Suggestion 3 - Realize that the issue in the game is that you cannot balance players/teams and in attempting to do so the wrong way, you will undo the only feature that earns you money, which is the stuff people buy to have an advantage on the battlefield over other players and more importantly more fun killing bots, that has become your bread and butter whether you like to admit it or not

Suggestion 4 - Consider Shifting the Battle Theatres as suggested by other people that tidy it up nicely and actually make sense, because limiting weapons in those theatres according to Battle Rating is a stupid idea for the core of the game. With clear Theatres of war by regions you will still be able to implement the future plans easily without ruining the game

Suggestion 5 - Consider having instead a separate game mode that is infantry only and rifles only, it’s been wanted for a long time, but the BR system won’t do it, because even at the lower BR end you will be mixing them with some automatic fired weapons and vehicles

Suggestion 6 - Look at ways to reduce the amount of players quitting matches, many times players have made great suggestions on how to reduce this and it has always been ignored

Suggestion 7 - Give the players more control over what maps they queue up for, more customization and control for the player will make players happy. Taking choice away and forcing limitations = bad…

Suggestion 8 - Stop ruining things in the game, like the mortar nerfs, the barb wire nerfs, the rally point placement insanity, the climbing through windows nerf, the climbing limitations, and now the supposed nerfs to bombs and rockets…these are an indicator that you don’t know the real issues with your game…so will spell it out for you in the final suggestion here

THE OBJECTIVES ARE TOO SMALL AND NEED TO BE MUCH LARGER, then you don’t need to nerf all these things anymore

for the current limited size of the maps, there are too many players, so increase the maps playable areas, and increase the objectives size considerably

And if you want to really break players into categories according to what load out they want to play with, you are shooting yourselves in the foot. Proceed

  • Rating for Equipment is too much.
  • Beretta M38 20 is still better than VS gear.
  • M30 should not be Tier 3.
  • MP38 is better than MP40.
  • MG13 is too high.
  • MG15 is too high.
  • Gewehr 41 and 43 should not have same BR.
  • Ju188 is better than Me410 as attacker.
  • Bf110s share same spot for no reason.
  • PPS43 is NOT Level 1.
  • T34STZ wont make it in Level 7.
  • M18 GMC is not Level 7.
  • SVT-38 has earlier unlock than other rifles. Ital SA rifle is too terrible.

Feels like inspired by “High Level means Good”. Also, the file is hard to read and lines are all over the place.

Swords and axes having br is nonsense.
Anyone can equip them at early levels.
Also pistols having br rating is another nonsense.
Pistols are too weak and dont have any meaningful impact on balance.
