When the matchmaking BR bugs out

So yesterday i was playing in BR1-2. Then somehow i spotted a Tiger E in Moscow.


Being really weird it was a big pain to fight but it died. Then after a little bit i pick up a weapon on the ground.


An STG-44 dropped by german soldiers, I was like WTF. Then at the 4th defend point, the Tiger was Back

And it died like that.
Finally, we are at the last point and what i see in the killfeed ?

MG-42, an MG-42 by the SAME guy who had the STG and the Tiger.
So, can the devs please fix the BR so that peoples with BR5 don’t get matched w BR1-2 ?

Interesting situation, have you double checked your load outs ? There are old Gold Order weapons which you may have “parked” on your plane or tank crews which are dragging them into a higher BR match.

Gold order weapons for a tank o plane crew will not put anyone into a Moscow map.

I’m not sure about that, they have BRs listed on them.

N.B. I’m responding to the OP who may have inadvertantly put higher BR small arms in his squads because its thrust him into BR III-V matches.

That is true, but maybe - it is not the fault of ShadowAce (that he took the wrong equipment), but rather - fault of the guy in Tiger - that he went into BR I-III match.

Possible, but I would hope unlikely - then again the game has all sorts of bugs, so who knows.

I have checked my loadout btw, It wasn’t that

to be fair, there is an MG42 on the armored APC premium squad that is a BR 2 … not sure if it was that, just stating. The rest, I can’t explain if you were not BRIII+ or you were not in a party that had BRIII+.

That in my view is a bit of a stuff up on the Devs part, they should model the MG from what the squad is equipped with, and essentially put the machine gunner from that squad into that slot. If you have 2 machine gunners then they should let you mount a rear facing machine gun on the flex mount which had a much better field of fire for AA defence.

I hope this gets patched out as the game progresses, and it will auto address an under BRd MG42, although in all fairness you can’t take it off the vehicle so its not really that much of an issue.

To be fair, you can’t really ADS with it and there is a very much lack of mobility with it.

I have read somewhere earlier, that if there are not enough players in the lobby of BR5, the game will just throw you in there to fill it up.
So there go you with your BR1-2, expecting a nice fair game, but you get massacred by BR5 just as cannon fodder.
Are we having fun yet? :laughing:

It would be listed as 7.92 mm MG 42 machine gun in the killfeed. Also, i wasn’t in BR3, I am 100% sure, i made all of my squad Max BR2. It was a bug somehow the game checked only for guns for the tanker

At least it didn’t happened again.
