Improving individual classes, flam trooper update is fantastic, rotating builds for engineers is very useful.
Bot rework is decent, but being 180 killed is still common.
Troop upgrade/level up system is pretty good, though a bit pricy when it comes to troop orders, upgrade points mechanic would be nice to keep.
Weapons transfer system is great, but pricy
SMG recoil rework is ok
What you don’t like
Semi-auto fire rate rework, the nerf was way too large, the FNAB now outguns semi-auto rifles
Allied will now be absolutely trashed on by the MP 43/1, Germans cannot compete against the PPDs and the PPSHs. The nerf absolutely kills the Italians, where the early introduction of the Armaguerra is the only thing thats making it playable. Take it up to 300 rpm makes a bit more sense.
Customs nerf completely eliminates the need or want to play customs.
Having a squad of 4 playing together is already a struggle, most matches wont have more then 6 ppl
Eliminates the incentive for friends to play together if they are all playing different campaigns, and forces people to play a unified campaign with squads.
Completely kills lone fighters mode
Customs is now only good for map exploration and completing battle pass missions that are difficult to do in squads mode.
MG dispersion nerf is ridiculous, MG 34 and 42 is unusable at long ranges, which was what it was designed to do. Breda Mod 30. is now even worse. Axis already have it tough unlocking the same weapons, but making it unusable makes it worse. Eliminating run and gun meta is great, keep the dispersion bloom for firing when standing, but bring back the old dispersion when prone and mounted.
Selling premiums as a solution to fix broken game balance, especially in Normandy is stupid. Severely mitigates the incentive to grind to the endgame when only the last level (Lv 32 MP 43/1) is something to look forward to.
Introducing classic weapons such as the Lewis Gun as premium is such a shame, it better be in the Pacific campaigns if and when it comes.
What is not too easy to understand
Whats taking so long for the weapon upgrade mechanics to drop, why was it not released in conjunction with Academy rework?
Why are vehicles like the Churchill being sold for Normandy before being introduced in Tunesia,
and the Stug not being a campaign unlock but another premium?
Lone fighters should give more XP than squads, not less. Because fighting against real humans is more difficult than against bots.
If for some reason you really hate people leveling up in custom games vs bots (your fault, not the players’, the game’s progression is incredibly, painfully, unreasonably slow and lackluster for F2P players), make it so bot kills give less XP per kill in custom games, but humans can still get full (actually, must be higher) XP amounts even if for some reason one player drops off and it’s 4v5 (they shouldn’t be punished by XP cap).
Why on earth is StuG III introduced as a premium? Germany’s most mass-produced vehicle of WW2 behind a paywall? Churchill as well must be added to Tunisia campaign first and foremost, not as Normandy premium. What was the point of me purchasing BA-11 for uniqueness value if it has to fight Pz IV now?
Premiums, premiums, premiums. Too many of them with each update, too overpriced, too overpowered. If anything, they should be fun historical homages, not P2W shortcuts.
Flamethrower buff. Now it’s actually usefull but not OP.
Standardized SMG ammo.
New maps / missions in the nearest future.
I don’t like:
Semi auto rifles nerf seems to be too much. Idea is good, just change the numbers a bit.
Trooper III squad in Normandy. In case of germany, we get exactly the same weapon we alredy have but with different bullet. Why would I grind to lvl 33, then grind squad upgrades, then grind parts to upgrade a weapon if I already have identical one!!! How new grenade launcher should have been implemented (imo)
You are lost in your own lies. You decreased rof of semi auto rifles and carbines, but:
FG42 - according to you it’s a rifle so why it wasn’t affected? Almost like it was an assault rifle or MG, interesting.
VG1-5 and M2 carbine - 1st one was nerfed so… it’s a carbine, not SMG as you label it. Second one wasn’t nerfed yet it is a carbine.
Also if both of them are carbines, why one is assaulter only and the other one is avalable to everybody?
AVS - rifle but wasn’t nerfed.
You can see the lack of consequence. Revisit those weapons, label them correctly and assign to appropriate clases.
New US fighter will have two 500 lbs bombs. ARE YOU INSANE???
Not long ago we had problem with planes dominating Normandy and you decided to give half a ton of bombs to A FIGHTER?!
Stop smoking guys.
Hard to understand:
why you nerfed semi autos? Now some people will switch to FG42, that’s what you want? Full auto weapons spam?
My suggestion:
Instead of nerfing the rate of fire and accuracy, why not add a mechanic that interacts between stamina and recoil? You need a certain amount of stamina to compensate for the recoil and weight of some weapons when firing (especially machine guns), and after the stamina drops, it would lead to a drop in accuracy and ROF (can’t hold the gun because you’re tired), instead of the crude nerf as it is now. This could balance the run-and-go play style but doesn’t nerf the accuracy and ROF too much.
The fact behind this idea is that your stamina will affect your ability to handle the weapon because of the recoil impulse and the weight of the weapon itself. If I lay down quietly, I’m sure I’m going to have better shooting performance and weapon control than someone who has explosives and enemies all around them.
I absolutely hate the Semi Auto nerf made many campaigns unplayable for me if you wanted people to pick bolt actions more then maybe you should have buffed bolt actions damage and maybe give it more ammo or make it so it zooms in even more when you hold breath but this was a absolutely horrible…
NOT HAVING NZ/AUS/OCEANIA/ASIAN SERVERS, I ALSO HATE HIGH PING
What is not too easy to understand
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD RELEASE ON XBOX and PLAYSTATION AND NOT HAVE SERVERS IN OUR DEMOGRAPHICS. … that makes absolutely no sense from a marketing view.
I really like the idea of adding an artillery German vehicle like the bfv had for squad rewards maybe even transport troops in one of those to capture a flag or make a new squad entirely
