Because of USSR guns being better than other teams no one playing other teams (in Eu and Ru servers idk about NA). for example PPSH is basically laser gun and because of that every time enemy team becoming uptier i’m br II in Germany and Japan teams and every game USSR is br III. Its very annoying. Yall know how good is SVT-38. and i’m trying to counter ppsh41 box with Beretta M1918 but at long range its trash. People even using ppsh41 as a sniper. And Japan don’t even have a weapon to counter ppsh41.
Actually you mention three of the major problems with Enlisted.
-
That people get uptiered or downtiered because of BR +/- 1 which creates many totally unfair fights where one side has many BR+1 and the other has many BR-1. A lot of us has been asking for BR +/- 0 for a long time but so far to no avail.
-
Japan has been neglected for a long time with no new weapons. This is partly because historically Jap didn’t evolve their arsenal as much as other nations and if new weapons were to be implemented it would probably be fantasy weapons or captured ones. Still it makes Jap weak against other nations.
-
Developers has a soft spot for USSR and give them overpowered weapons (especially their SMG’s) and gear (body armor) that the other nations hasn’t got acces to. Every time people bring this up it is totally ignored by the devs.
Besides that it seems that a lot of players who play USSR deliberately play in order to get downtiered just so they can slaughter uptiered players.
Only solutions I see is either suck it up or change faction because it is, unfortunatly, not something that is likely to change.

Did you say big nerf?

It’s actually worse with Japan; if you happen to try using any BR4 gear, the game bumps you straight up to BR5, whereas it’s more feasible to get a BR4 match with Germany. My advice for Japan is to stick to BR3 gear: the Type 2a is more decent than the Type 100 Late, and the Type 96 works well as an improvised assault rifle it has poor visibility, but it’s better than the KE7 (which is functional but really only at short-to-medium range).
Another option is using flamethrowers; the Japanese flamethrower has shorter range but is more agile than the German one (both are BR3).
For the Germans, use the MG34, and MP35 combined with horizontal recoil perks, but if you want to stay at BR2, use the MP40 and at least 3 impact grenades, with Japan use Molotovs and the S1-100 with it’s 7 points of hit power
All flamethrowers are the same.

So, does the Japanese soldier have a higher sprint stat? Because I seriously feel like he’s slower when I use the BR3 German flamethrower.
No.

It is also good to play BR 4 as Japan. There is the M2 Carbine Sawed-Off, which has assault rifle-level damage, and the Type 2a (6.5mm), the only assault rifle in the tech tree.
Te4 and Browning .303, ke7 (50) are also good. Type hei machine guns can also be used.
The problem is that you are going to Tier 5, but since Japan’s Tier 5 usually has an overwhelming win rate, you can usually get help from your team.

Flamethrowers are identical statwise exept for their weight. The japanese one is 12 kg lighter than the german one (which is heavy AF) so its possible that you just notice the diffreance in stamina drain and thus feel faster with the jap one.
Edit:
Turns out the Flammwerfer 35 is the only one which includes the fuel in its weight but everyone else get that for free.

Hahahaha. The developers… 
Are you going to start a thread about this?

Probably not since usefull documentation is hard to find and german arcives are notoriously behind digitising everything. But if you find a source for its empty weight feel free to create one.
If someone is more experianced in finding WW2 documents it might be worth a shot but for me its not worth the hassle.

Yeah, it’s decent depending on the situation; the TE4 is good if you run it in a 9-man squad and pick it back up every time you die same goes for the Browning .303 but the issue is that they aren’t always very convenient, since they aren’t good weapons for close-quarters combat like the other in the same BR
Another thing is that the team you get matched with isn’t always great, and the uptier is the biggest problem in this scenario too
Coincidences… I can’t believe it XD.
Luckily, the BR4 version is more stable in that regard, so I tend to use it at BR4–5; it’s a great tool for engaging enemies with full-auto weapons inside buildings, and combined with my Breda PGs and MKB 42 (M)s, it really gives me a reason to play in that “limbo” tier.
adapt or die its pointless to figth on a loosing battle since the very beggining
many tried to tell the developers to adress these kind of problems but its impossible… they just ignore it
The tactical intelligence of the Japanese faction is overwhelmingly higher than that of the USSR faction. Also, at high BR, Japanese equipment is comparable to or even better than Soviet equipment. Example: Type Hei automatic rifle, Ho-Ri, etc. Therefore, while I’m not sure about low BR for the USSR, high BR should not be nerfed.

I agree with nerfing body armor, but if they’re gonna nerf everything else about the Soviets too, then the devs might as well just replace all Soviet players with bots and turn the Soviets into PvE target dummies to shoot at.
no proper argument. Honestly looks like bait
Closed, you should open a poll whit your opinions about PPSH41 and your ideas to nerf it
