The recent BR changes are bad and need rework

What was dark flow thinking with some of this? You get the KV1 at level 3 now,so you are invincible now in that tank, the VG1-5 going to T3 means once again it will be cast aside, but this time only with gewhers instead of mp40s,the Og43 going to T4 is a disaster, the flamethrower is just mid, at that BR you get better more equipped squads that can deal with problems like tanks better, seeing as the og43 squad has only a GrB39 for AT purposes, the flamethrower is really short and not a lot of ammo,and the og43 is terrible, if it is staying at T4 it needs to be up gunned, give it the 40 round mags it could use and upgrade the box equipment except for the flamethrower.right now, the US and Russians are going to have teir 2 paratroopers. Now the biggest issue with this is the massive lowering of BR on some really powerful US gunsgoing from teir 4 and 5 to 3, some examples of this are:M1a1 and 1928a1 box to T3,with the 30 cal going from 5 to 3 as well,going against the MP40. adding to the unbalance, the M1 garand and most of its variants from T4 to 3, the Sherman 105 and both P38s going from t4 to 3. The panzerwherfer is also going up a teir, this thing has no Armour and a normal grenade can kill you, so you have to rely on stupid low level players to not do anything, but the increase means more competence and more frustration than before, and it usually takes a few good placed rockets to kill a tank, and if the player is somewhat paying attention they can sent even an He shell at you and you cease to exist before taking him out.it is a very clear US bias in this change, and yes germany has had some buffs, they are insignificant compared to these changes for the US.

What is the problem? Get used to it! Axis will be downgraded and allies will be upgraded. That’s the way it is. You just have to make sure that the bad boys don’t win.

I just say US paras with 100 rounds of magzines. Then take a look at the German paras. Yes, I forgot, they have 3 rifle grenades. Of course that makes them completely op. lmfao. Really. You’re not supposed to feel screwed?

And it’s that type of philosophy which will kill this game unless the Soviets and allies wanna keep kicking nothing but bots at the end of the day because there won’t be any Germans left or Japanese

i dont see any problem here. Kv-1 change was bad but otherwise everything was nice. Garand got downtiered alongside with thompsons which is good and high mag bolties got downgraded too

I’m not sure what’s wrong with you but the veterans are perfectly fine but what they’re doing is targeting our new blood so we won’t be able to get anymore reinforcements in the future and we will eventually die out we can’t stay in this game forever without any more new blood for the Germans or Japanese.

Japan sure. But germans? They already have the largest player base

Buddy, germany’s gear is far superior. Why are you whining about 1 squad that has maybe a slight benefit over another squad. Right now u.s. has no real tier 5 compared to germany’s. Its completely in favor of germans.

So essentially what you’re saying is you want to kill off our new blood while we deny you the end game and you deny us our future and getting anymore new bloods

kv1 is in very awkward place right now, it may dominate lower br and may be dominated in upper br.

Garand is a welcome change, M1A1 Thompson is slightly better then the most of BR3 smg so I hope DF readjust some stats for it, otherwise its fine too and logical that not all Thompson are packed together.
30cal event Thompson is great weapon, but since the average enlisted player has no trigger discipline, its acceptable.

Kv-1 is… Well, the usual suspect. They whined again and got what they wanted, the gun on it is mediocre but the armour is too good for BR3, I think it would be best to give Axis BR3 Hetzer with APCBC or other powerful shell so BR3 doesn’t turn into a Stalingrad 2.0

OG-43 change is a joke though.
20 round MAB is BR2, 40 round MAB is BR4, same gun just 20 rounds less.
M1 Beretta BR3 and has 40 round, OG-43 is a M1 Beretta but with 20 rounds, even at best, that is a BR2 gun.
Folgore parabox has:
Sniper carcano (BR 2)
Granatwerfer 36 (BR 1)
Zb 26 (BR 3)
AT Grb 39 (BR 2)
Flamethrower (BR 3)

After all these changes that were mostly negative for European Axis, it would be the bare minimum that DF changes OG-43 to 40 rounds and moves ir back to BR3.

I thought the OG 43 change was a bit ridiculous as well. I don’t even play germany and will say this still. Kv1 is easily dealt with, with a simple explosive pack or even an engineer AT gun. I think KV change is fine. But I’m not happy about having to go up against Tiger 1 and 2s specifically all the time as a u.s. main

Are you sure, we are playing the same gear?
Axis has working sights, allies have broken sights, that is true but will get fixed eventually.
Panthers and Tigers are essentially all of Axis’ advantages.

U.S.'s guns definitely warranted some down tiers. The 30 cal thomspon is by far my favorite of the bunch but with 20 rnds that goes insanely quick its not a true tier 5 gun.

Do i really need to list all the other shit for you?

or introduce new AT grenades or bombs since kv1 is mostly painful for infantry (low br)

it’s about the time to do that anyway…

Germany advantages

  • they get to use the FG 42/2’s for regular infantry troops, which is a LMG, not just an automatic rifle. Our equivalent is the Johnson LMG which is tied to the gunner troops.

  • they get 500kg bombs which is significantly stronger then our 1000lb bomb.

  • they get multiple assault rifles, which we have nothing in that category.

  • they get multiple scoped assault rifles/automatic rifles that can be equipped to sniper troops. We get the scoped m1 garand lol. No comparison.

  • they get tiger 1 and 2, 1 can’t even be frontally penned as it is, 2 being just laughably better. On another note they get multiple tanks with extremely large guns in comparison to our 76mm guns. The infantry kill counts from german tanks are crazy.

  • u.s. BARs are locked into gunner troops even though they aren’t true machine guns. Not to say they arent great guns, but germany’s MGs are significantly better over all with the high bullet counts, fast fire rates, can just be devastating in the hands of a good player playing defense.

  • there’s probably some other things i just cant think of right now

That is a battlerifle lol. Comparable to AVT and AVS.

They are the same

USA used them as machine guns, but I would love Mg42 and RD44 for everyone if you insist.

M2 Carbine, except anyone can equip it.

True, plus one until DF adds scoped M2 C, allies suffer.

The BAR is a battle rifle. The fg 42 is an lmg. Go look in the game description even
