Which nations BR IV and V are good and which isnt?

I just got all 4 of my nations up to having fully geared for BR III. And i just wonder where to go next any recommendations on what BR IV or BR V are the best?

I am not sure if im right or not but BR IV except for the Germans doesnt seem to offer too much. How about the BR Vs which are the fun ones and which are the painfull to play ?

allies at br5 has good air support and decent guns but its mostly on what faction you want to play at that battle rating since it all depends on how your team is playing if youre looking for wins

Germany has quite strong br 4. Panther and tiger dominate every other tank while mg 42, kiraly and g43 are also really good. In br 5 i would pick soviets or americans

Last time I checked, the trend was Axis and Japan doing better in BR4-5 matches (on EU server, global trend should be similar), IMO its a bit easier to get used to full-auto spam if your team is good.
Japan is the quickest to grind so I would advise that, than Axis, Allies and Soviets in that order.

Soviet BR5 is generally not popular among veterans.

Though Iso is right, if you are looking for BR4 experience (you probably aren’t) than Axis is the best as long as you keep spamming Király or Mg34 patron.

So the best would be to go for Japan one 1st ?

I also got some high BR event gear there, namely the Tiger & some high capacity Ke-7s or maybe they are BR IV im not sure. What would i need for BR V Japan, the full-auto Battle Rifle for sure i guess & the BR IV AT Launcher, do i need their Assault Rifle or BR V SMG or just stick to the regular rifle ?

Im looking for a faction which is the most fun and doesnt face too many very fustrating things from the enemy ( BR2 Soviets/Allies vs the Pz III N was something i dont want to ever play again), so if 1 faction run into something very very OP on the enemy side i dont want to play them.

I only have 1 vehicle spot for a tank, so i dont care much on how good their CAS or Fighters are, as i cant field them myself.

since you already have the event Tiger I, you only really need the type hei auto and the Ofenrohr.
Tokyo Arsenal and Type2a (6.5) are no where near as good as Type Hei Automatic rifle.

I wouldnt say br5 is fun if you dont like to get blown up by planes or tanks since all factions have a way to deliver some bombs or shells to your face. If you mostly use ground vehicles Japan and axis has good tanks at br5 but youll run into the issue with allies bombing you into the ground lol. USSR has good br4 smgs and really good br5 lmgs handling compared to Axis

I will say the popular opinion, but the weak faction is your favorite, and the strong one is everyone else

Japan 5. It is when you are on par with the other nations due to Japan being limited. They are missing a lot of stuff like heavy mortars, tier 5 bombers, Tier 5 snipers. When you play Japan 5 you know you are generally playing with a higher skill set of players. Germany 5 is ok as well its got all the good stuff.

Your going to win more with Japan V. I have also noticed better times for certain nations. I avoid USSR early in the morning (7am-10am PST) , USA seems better during the afternoon hours, Germany does good at night . There are certainly peak hours, just got to play alot to figure it out

BR5 is the way to go…my experience is BR4 usually gets uptiered where a lot of stuff doesn’t match up. BR5 though is filled with HE though…so learn to live with losing squads to explosions. As for what faction, it depends if you want wins, points or fun as they all have thier strengths and weaknesses.

Do i need the BR V LMG or the pair of KE-7 (50) i have would do the job, I plan to run Double Engineers with a single AT & the Universal Carrier squad with Driver , Double MG ( probably the KE-7 50s) & AT & Tiger I as the 4th slot.

I kinda got used to that when im facing BR III US … they seem to love to spam the M4 105 on top of some good old rifle grenade spam on any other BR III.

Mostly i want a faction which is fun to play & doesnt have a very bad WR. I think I will still main BR III but i want to try a few things on top BRs too.

My favourite faction sofar were the Soviets, they werent good on BR II but i feel like they are the best on BR III.

Oddly enough i dont really have much event BR V stuff for them other then the NKVD squad with the 100 round Tommy guns & 3x Fedorov 25 with that crazy 1100 RoF. Japan might be my 1st pick for BR V since i got at least the unique Tiger I for them, the Universal Carrier & 2x Ke-7 50. For the Germans i only have a BR IV event MG39 squad & for the Allies i only got the new Assault engineers… but maybe the next set of boxes will give me some more event stuff.

I’ve only played like 2 or 3 matches at BRV, and found it a proper sweatfest.

That said, I dd enjoy playing as the Allies. I like their late-game guns.

I don’t have any real experience with the other factions.

I’m sure they all have their advantages though. So my advice is, play the faction you like most. :slight_smile:

I personally believe BR5 to be the best balanced BR in the game - everything kills so fast that small differences dont matter much.

There are exceptions tho, like IS2 reloading forever, or trooper rifles being rather equal in firepower to assault rifles even tho assault rifles being more limited, jets making other planes obsolete and type hei being drastically effected by Soviet body armor.

Best BR2 faction in the game. What do you mean?

Soviets are GREAT at BR2…they have the PPS-43 smg, the Winchester 1895 rifle, the T-28 tank and a few fun fighter planes. The first 2 stack up against anything.

It’s really all preference to which weapons you prefer…Soviets are stacked in a lot, Germany too…the Hyde is a good gun…but really all factions depends on your playstyle…like tanks over planes, or smg over lmg.
