Weapon BR changes that should be considered

I can understand the Merge needed to happen. The playerbase was too fractured

However, being a WT player, I cannot stand idly by while the playerbase cries out to turn my favorite FPS game into War Thunder: Infantry Edition
I play WT because there is no other game like it anywhere, and I generally don’t have “fun” in most matches
I play Enlisted because I genuinely enjoy the game
I saw the Preferred Map System. What it could’ve been. What this game should’ve been. A player could’ve tweaked their loadout to where they were likely to get one set of maps they liked, possible on some maps they could tolerate, and never on maps they didn’t want. If they were smart enough and able to make whatever sacrifice to loadout was necessary
But what did you people do? Cry and complain and demand BATTLE RATINGS of all things. So I was afraid my time enjoying this game was coming to a close. It would just all be everyone running the same dang thing match after match because why run anything other than “meta?”
Then the BR system dropped, and I realized there was still the element of chaos and randomness to my favorite game that I fell in love with for that reason. Sure, it was limited and only fully accessible in one BR, but it was there

And now here you people are trying to take the best possible outcome, and ruin it. No. Screw you. If you want “proper battle ratings” so bad go play WT. Play America on WT. See just how painful that crap is. Go enjoy playing the 76 Sherman against Tiger II’s and the 76 Jumbo against Leopard’s. Let’s see just how much fun having to constantly worry about ATGM’s in your Pershing is. Then come back and say “yeah I want that experience in Enlisted”

Except even in the days before Merge I saw Puma’s and Kar98k’s and Springfield’s and Italian cars and Tiger’s and MG 42’s and sometimes half of these in the same match!
Shoot I still had an odd Springfield in some of my squads after I maxed out Normandy! And no, not the forgotten Tier I squads from way back when, no the squads I was actively using every day
You can’t gaslight me on this buddy

Tbh a flamethrower can deal with ppsh’s very well but also to go with it, the ppSh has a ton of flash to it when you fire and tbh with people like myself, it’s always the gunsmoke and flash that screws with me when I shoot.
