We will see. I tried it out and the weaknesses are quite noticeable now. There is at least a reason you would bring an assault squad instead of a rifleman
Also regardless this puts br 4 in a much better spot. Which I’m happy as I’ve been playing a lot of br 4 the past few weeks
The balance is just gonna shift hard now. At BR V, Germany and Japan are gonna see way fewer players. Because USSR now has straight-up the best small arms in the game. And Americans already have god-tier vehicles — if you could somehow counter that with 9-man squads before, good luck doing it now. People are just gonna start switching to other factions or dropping down to lower BRs.
Most folks haven’t even tested this properly and have no clue what the real fallout is gonna look like. Not yet, anyway.
Once the update drops, people download it, try it for a day or two — and boom, the threads are gonna flood in: “BR V dead”, “Axis unplayable”, etc.
Because apparently game optimization doesn’t matter, free squad slot and burning bushes are the real priorities. No other problems in the game, right xD
Guys who cried about auto rifles probably don’t even play BRV anyway. How would they feel if we went to their BR and started whining for bolt action nerfs… make them like battlefield where they do not one shot unless in a very specific sweet zone or headshot.
However i’ll sit pretty with my -30% recoil on console anyway… and enjoy my g43 kurz that people have criticized so much.
Auto rifles were the meta for 0.1% of players who played in clans. For everyone else, the true meta was snipers, mortars, motorcycles, fighter jets, and desertion from the battlefield.
This is all great and all, but on a ton of our maps — besides the shitty visual effects — we’ve got memory leaks, some maps tank your FPS by half (Steel Plant, Myitkyina), and a bunch of maps still have rails you literally can’t walk through.
Graphics-wise, there’s zero optimization. They still list minimum requirements as a GTX 660 like it’s 2015, and nothing ever changes.
Instead of actually optimizing a basically free-to-play game and opening it up to way more potential players, they’re out here playing dress-up with graphics.
Let’s be real: the game doesn’t even have revolutionary visuals, yet it can’t run smoothly on a 4070. It loads the card up hard, looks worse than Battlefield 5 or 6, and still has frame-time instability and stutters everywhere.
Do we really need ray-traced shadows, water splashes with sea foam, and all that extra crap in a game like this?
It’s like your house is on fire and you’re still in the kitchen frying sausages.
There’s a mountain of actual problems, but instead of fixing any of them, they keep shoving in these questionable “features” that don’t improve the game — they just make it worse, if anything.
That’s your opinion. People abusing bolt actions with the aim assist is absolutely pathetic… probably gets me as annoyed or frustrated as when you encounter a battle rifle or fighter jet. However this is a console problem.
You can literally run around in cqc and aim and fire with bolt actions and the game auto aims. I have watched clips of a certain person doing it and then recently faced them… there is a difference here because personally think that yet aren’t actively crying and rallying to change it.
Its equivalent to a faze montage if the player knows how to abuse it… however that isn’t the topic… if you’re interested i can give you replays and clips showing how it’s abused.
Cool. And probably none of them play console and know how it can be used. Feel free… but let’s move along with this as like you’re familiar it’s only taking off topic.
Always how is buffing speciliast weapon while giving default weapons downsides killing the br is just beyond me. Cuz that’s how literally every other br works
Whatever. Since the Russians are going to ruin this game, I should just go find a new WWII game on Steam. Anyway, this forum only has Chinese and Russians; there’s no one else here.
