5 players, and the worst 5 the game could find.
BR5 is deader than a cemetery
Each faction has its own problematic BR. For the USSR, it’s actually 5 BR, because Soviet mains prefer to beat newcomers at 2-3 BR.
For the Germans and Japanese, on the other hand, it’s 2-3 BR.

50 sec usa xD
I just left them all, it took me over a minute to find nothing but bots… he’s definitely dead.
The worst BR to play has to be BR1.
You’ve just started the game, Got your first 3-4 man squads, medic, rifleman and sniper. You have no clue on how mechanics work, the maps, the enimies.
And then you run into some vet playing br2 that has his fun clubbing seals. He throw in his 5 man assaulter squads or guerillas armed with pps-42 or lanchesters, anti-personel mines, explosive packs, sacks that gives him almost infinite ammo and everything money can buy.
You quit…

Imho the worst BR is axis BR4.
- Only one bouncy smg (Kiraly). The MKb42 is still at BR5 and will always stay there until there is a soviet BR4 fantasy AR.
- Some okay semis (the ZH-29 is sweet, but a joke compared to soviet BR5 fantasy, laser and prototype stuff you will face 80% of all matches).
- The Tiger is okay.
- The MG42 and MG34 dual drum are sweet.
- Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust 100? Nothing special since US and the soviets got them too.
The rest? Not worth mentioning.
There are some sweet premiums.
When you face good skilled enemy BR5 teams you are hopelessly outgunned.
I stick at BR2-3 because the gap is way lower when uptiered. And there are way more interesting weapons.

Honestly, that’s the fun part of playing BR1: hunting down those fake ‘veterans’. Usually, the guys doing that are actually terrible at the game—in higher BRs they get wrecked and can’t accomplish anything, so they come here to feel good.
I think German BR3 weaponry is even worse. Engineer weapons are terrible—low damage, and so much recoil that you literally lose sight of the target. Soviets have the same issue. Personally, I’ve never played BR4 because none of the weapons caught my interest xD but yeah, I agree with you that BR4 is pretty absurd across all factions, except maybe for the US.
I agree. It’s great to give them some proper resistance.
But the sad part is that they make potential new players quit because nobody wants to play a game where you’re shot again and again and again.
Last BR1 battle I played allied team had 3 or 4 BR2 who dominated the battle with M1 carabines, Lee-Enfield No 4’s, Ross Mk 3’s, M1A1 Thompson’s. They got between 80 and 130 kills each. Good for them.
Japan had 8 deserters. Potential new players (?) that didn’t find it fun to watch their whole squad get whiped before they could rearm their Arisaka 38’s between shots.

BR1 should be BR1 only 
.
There’s no reason why not, and every reason to do it.
Further, beginners should be only against other beginners (judged by some cutoff on the research tree, such as finishing tier 1, so at least they’re not up against other players with extra grenade/ammo pouch and they’ve definitely played at least a few dozen games).

High tier germany always has at least decent teams
Kiraly is not bouncy (premium kiraly is a bit bouncy cuz of the horizontal recoil tho i give you that)
Thats just the pain of br 4 but the majority of the time you should be fine since most people cant shoot straight anyways.I really hope they forward my suggestion to at least increase the rof of br 4 semis so its a bit less pain
Out of all the BRs and factions id say by far US br 4 is the worst If its only techtree br 1 US also isnt fantastic

Truth in that, as nobody helps new players into a team-role instead of mutating into what I call a score-wh*re!
-
List item Shoot at planes aka enemy aircraft, even a bolt rifle CAN hit a weak point and make it crash & burn! Plus: Most are noisy pests and bomb us!
-
List item Firecover your engineers, they must hammer more than 10 seconds to craft one rally point, plus the protection we can place around it.
-
List item Don’t run off, before a sector is cleared. If you run off, then players behind you mostly think to follow, making it too easy for enemy snipers to get entire squads killed from the flanks. Don’t give the enemy more score than what you score yourself.
-
List item If you get killed, then repeating the exactly same move MAY be damn stupid.
-
List item Mark tanks by aiming at them and pressing V, or however console marks stuff. It helps the team (your allies, even though you’ll never understand that concept) to see them on the mini-map before seeing them only when shot by them. Bonus: Allied planes see marked tanks and can shoot or bomb those away.
Then, forgot all that and anything learned, run straight into enemy gunfire, repeat it after respawn, and loudly complain about cheaters! 
BR4 is fine with right lineup!
Tiger H or Tiger West, Panther, decent CAS, or Firefly, Churchill, spitfire in my commonwealth, Calliope, Jumbo, M36(?) Jackson in my US BR4 preset.
The only thing imho that can ruin a BR is poor matchmaking, lop sided games (seal clubbers vs newbies, but how people get better is to lose!), regardless of BR… or if you play EU server at 3am and expect people to play on team and get ghost server.
My worst for me is BR5, although all nations have decent equipment, it’s because I don’t like the COD style run n gun, too fast paced for me, but I do play it rarely and love the new AA, which I can use to ‘swat flies’ which I think evens the balance a bit!
The worst BR to play is BR4.
God forbid you are a WW2 enthusiast who dared to use T-34-85, Panther, Tiger 1, Sherman 76mm, G43 or SVT 40.
You get banished to BR5 fantasy land for such sin, where overpowered imaginary weapons like ASs or Hyde AR will dunk on you, wunderguns like Autohei or RPD will give you a WW2 lesson, and last but not least, Su-9 from 1946 and made up Hori from 2017 will remind you to never play above BR3.

The worst Br is BR4, and I even made a vide on it:
Yes! More people please do this… especially when you’re attacking!
I LOVE when an enemy is adamant on shooting me with small arms… just allows me to suicide bomb over and over and over… no more crash penalty
