I came back from a long break, the last time I played was before the merge.
Why am I now coming up against Jumbos, P51 mustangs, crusaders and British Tommies in the Pacific? Tigers in Moscow? What the heck, why not add M1 Abrams and F16 fighter jets while you’re at it…
I heard about the merge but I was not expecting it to be such a cluster fuck, this is immersion breaking. My interest in this game is severely diminished…
literally this has never happened
There was a bug at some point, where it happened. Ppl faced the KT in Moscow maps, in regular matches.
It must have been fixed because I see no new occurrence of it 
In due time
I’ve used my Tiger in Moscow… It was fun, but not for the Russians.
(but May be it was on the test server, I don’t remember)
All I’m saying is certain units should be barred from certain theatres regardless of BR
well.
that’s the thing.
the merge didn’t tried to address the immersion or HA side of enlisted.
that’s what unironically caused the various issues0 and the main reason on why the merge was adopted and went through…
it instead, unified the tech tree, ( so you didn’t had to grind 50 levels just to get a bike in a campaign that you didn’t even set foot ) made it easier to add things in the tech tree in the middle instead of being at the bottom, and above all,
prevent teams with 1/2 humans and the rest made out of bots against a full team of 10 players.
it aimed to have more humans players per match.
Edit. i forgot to add the main part that Smarald graciously added. below.
general weapon balance + avoid situation among new players vs veterans.
therefore, no more m5 stuarts vs tigers.
the original BR proposed (during first phase of its testing) system did have weapons and vehicles have “preferred maps” the playerbase was vocal that the majority preferred weapon balance over map ger integrity. Unfortunately, the BR system in its current form does not give either, and its mostly due to playerbase size not being able to support what we want without increasing queue times and / or bot matches.
remember that the merge’s main focus was reducing bot matches (though some players are effectively worse than bots, they are still human)
Yeah I forgot to mention that some players seem more braindead than bots in some instances
That was always the case. There’s literally no difference in playing with bots or casuals.
We should’ve got F16 fighter jets in the April Fools event if we are being honest.
well actually … bots can now build rally points.
That’s true, but they are mostly building them like 70-90m away from the center of objective
What you want are rally points that are ±50m away. It makes quite significant difference.
This can’t work in the current system because Moscow is tied to BR1-3 matches, and all Tiger tanks are at least BRIV. At least beyond bugs.
I mean i’d rather that than 150 from default spawn
Just add a per-map lineup for every map, why is this so fucking hard…Remove ability to pick sides, add a real matchmaker, make xp global, remove some of the dogshit game modes and maybe you can save this
If you missed the changes and gave up the campaign for BR, the players forced you to do so. The game gave up historical accuracy in favor of balance.
And it is not possible to play Tiger on the Moscow and Tunisia maps.
Bots can be better. They build rallies and are actually quite good shooters with full auto guns. Also they dont snipe and waste vehicle slots with useless tanks and planes
