Tried two BR3 matches today. Lost both.
Faced:
- Lots of premium
- Many high ranks (on both teams to be fair, makes the difference more clear)
- Lots of body armor (poor MP40 and Beretta M38 team mates)
- Soviet laser-BP weapons
- Had to attack both times
- Did I mention laser weapons?
- Oh, did I also mention body armor?
- Urrrra
May the bias always be with you 
(At least one good one yesterday)

Well USSR BR III is stacked they have very nice BR at BR III. But Germany BR II and BR III now are also nice however if it was not for FW and the APC squad I would prefer BR II. But Soviets are playing BR III and BR V since the other BRs are boring BR I is also playable not bad but BR II and BR IV are very bad for USSR BR III in general is very BIAS xD

It can only be said that everything was fine before Germany’s BR2 had to face the Soviet BR3. Feels like it’s about time Germany’s BR2 tech tree got some proper good weapons.
Whether it’s premium squads or regular tech tree squads for Germany BR2, they all basically suffer from low fire rates.
There’s no way around it; most guns designed around that era, led by the MP40, just don’t have a high rate of fire.
By the way, are there any overpowered BP weapons on Soviet BR3? I only know the Lewis and PPD-1944.
It’s basically because Soviet players have no reason to go up to BR5, so most people just stop at BR2 and BR3, not wanting to suffer at higher tiers. It’s a bit like a river getting blocked and silt building up. Either buff German BR2, or give Soviet BR5 some good stuff to draw players upwards. Otherwise, this stagnation will just stay like this forever.
When I think even the turretless KV variant like the ISU-152 got bumped up to BR4, it just feels the Soviet tech tree has gotten totally rigid. The new content is so half-baked that no one’s motivated to try BR5 at all.
Even a middle ground would work: release some lower-power but fun premium squads to tone down Soviet BR3’s dominance, yet it seems they can’t even do that.
Honestly, I don’t see any other way to fix this situation.
Thank you. I tried my best. Lets be honest, it often depends on the team too.
Now I am not that salty anymore. Well played!

It already starts with the PPS42 and PPS43. Those BR2 weapons are better then axis BR3 weapons.
Overall the USSR has way more powerfull event units and weapons. The team I faced was full of it. I like good and hard fights but the last two fights I mentioned was a real shit show.
There is a reason why man USSR mains have the highest rank and I rarely see an high rank axis player.

By the way, friend, don’t use the word “Russian” in relation to the USSR.
It would be correct to say “Soviet”.

They don’t understand the difference USSR had to build walls to keep its citizens meanwhile Russia:

Hmm — no clue. They won’t even buff the G-41 series by cutting its reload speed by just one second. Honestly, about this en-bloc clip reload system, I’ve got an idea: if staying still could boost reload speed by 1 or 2 seconds, that’d be a really nice buff for these en-bloc fed weapons.
I originally thought 4 seconds is way too long, but then I look at Soviet weapons like the SKS with the same en-bloc reload design—it only takes 3 seconds, since they don’t need an extra second to load a second clip.
I’d say just a 1-second reduction would be fair, and give the G41 and Walther-type rifles a 2-second cut. It’d totally be worth it anyway; these are rare old guns after all. You can go through ten matches and barely see anyone running one.
Overall I think Germany’s BR 3 lineup is really strong.
I’ve got a fully kitted MP41 (R) assault squad, two armed APCs, one Bren and a drum-fed MG13.
Add in the Walther, radio operators, plus the Panzer III N and four command units. This build is basically unbeatable in head-on gunfights unless the enemy is also running a top-tier setup.
It’s a shame there aren’t many events giving Germany PPSh variants lately. I’m just running off my stockpile; otherwise I could easily build a second full MP41 (R) assault squad.
Then why did people on the Soviet main forum basically abandon the ISU-152? How many players over there still main the Soviet faction these days?
