The new influx of players has been a blood bath. These people hardly have any specialized soldiers and maybe one or two starter SMGs and are running into people like me with 3 squads of MKB 42s. It has been blow out after blow out and I’m sure the veteran Russian players are seeing the same thing. Reminds me of Normandy again and I feel pretty scummy

You can always play with another weapon against new players if you notice they aren’t that great.
Give them a fighting chance since there isnt much on MM.
Jackfrags for example and another known YouTubers posted enlisted videos hours ago, Alot of people are knowing the game right now because of it, we might see more playerbase because of them.
If, we slaughter them on sight without a fighting chance, they won’t stay and we all suffer on the long run.
We can always argue that isn’t our fault,that devs have to implement a way to separate or that there is a need for a skill Matchmaker. But we can take some action too and help the situation.
I still want to play and enjoy the game, and not to face equal skill levels of mine over and over after a work day where all I need it’s some dose of fun and not a esl match.

I agree. I didnt realize what was going on until I had seen the controller icons and how shitty the game must have felt. With the lack of silver orders and max level campaign players weilding squads of PPSHs and MKBs the gameplay must be pretty horrid right now

Would we stayed for another round?
Lol yeah. My 3x PPSh squad had a lot of fun tonight.

I most certainly wouldnt. I may even go to Berlin as Axis for awhile to challenge the Russians there

The best side to fight in this game. Imo
Berlin axis.
Always challenging and the win actually feels worth the time.

I actually do not run Min / Maxed squads regardless of if there are new players or vets.
I think it actually presents more of a challange in the game to have squads with weaknesses or Standard issue weapons.

The game honestly needs weapon limitations on every squad.
Today I chewed through an entire match with a double assaulter PPSH setup, racked up 80 kills, while the 2nd best player in the entire lobby was on like 15 and we were on the last point.
Honestly as a new player to this game I would not play it. I barely play it as is because it’s tiring to load up any campaign and go against full autos, even when I have them myself, it just gets old.

Maybe just anecdotal but Berlin has been fantastic today, great fights. I play allies but I have lost more than I have won but not a single blow out or steamroll.
I still have my 3 squads of PPShs in Moscow as I will never know how much I need to use all 3 squads depending on the situation as there are times I would use an MG, an AT, a sniper squad or a tank instead. If my team has mostly starter equipment or being dead weight, I don’t hold back on PPShs and happened to win some really difficult matches that way especially with Germans spamming MGs and even worse, premium MG squads.
Obviously some new players would get caught in the crossfire and get slaughtered on both sides but in my experience, I have encountered some meta players like M16/M60 spammers in Rising Storm 2 and some used scummy tactics or exploits that make the game frustrating like in War Thunder with its various broken mechanics and map design so they deserve what treatment they get for that. Also WT’s mechanics just make people fight each other even outside the game.

3x PPSh squads sure are fun but I also use MG, AT and sniper squads for some variety at times. Wasn’t necessary all the time like in Berlin where there are situations that I would use an MG or an engineer squad especially on open parts.
Did a Trio of battles in Moscow, and it was WILD. Lots of new players and you could tell by the way they were fighting. I still managed to carry 2 teams and then have a more relaxing match on the 3rd, but I think its going to be a wash for a while until people start getting their squads up and learning the maps.

Yeah, i´m a “new” person into the game and my best campaign so far is Battle for Moscow with lvl 16.
I mostly play axis, except in tunesia, cause i like the british empire forces.
I can just say…low lvl axis player get wrecked everywhere, except in Battle for Moscow, because there i buyed an T-38 premium tank, to have any chance for my team to compete against 5-Star BT-7 players, spawning the whole time, while all other people driving Panzer 2 or Panzer 3-B, which have like no penetration against russian high tier tankers.
I posted some of my nightmares into the “More Love for Axis” thread, so i will not double post it here…but yeah, i would always understand new players, who running away from the game, cause the Matchmaking System is *****************!!!
