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.
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.
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.
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?
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
