good question. will test it hours later and will inform you then
Forwarded it, i’ll update the report if you see that it happens elsewhere
it’s only affected to tunesia
→ at least I had none of that one in normandy
So this my review. I feel like the event is not as bad as it’s made out to be, yet it clearly feels unfinished. It’s an interesting weaponry comparison of Japan vs Soviets that had been waited by the players for so long. Reason why when the first spoilers came out a few months ago and the announcement was delayed, I thought it was with due reason an you guys were gonna come up with something well crafted, taking your time, based on the feedback. But I was wrong.
The only huge bummer and disappointment I find is the lack of a new map. You guys have recently given us great maps such as Rhezv, Burma and Wald. There’s a good one for USSR vs Japan that was circling around the custom matches, and you can tell it was crafted with heart by a player. (Considering the few resources there are available in the editor) And I’m sure the devs could’ve done something even bigger, as they have the means. In a smart game making decision a simple Manchuria village setting could’ve perfectly worked out for both low and high BR. But it seems the short-sightedness of Gaijin’s team strikes again, no offense.
Secondly, having open presets so people can play their own custom BR lineup, and not some premade ones would’ve made this into a great and very memorable event. This is a huge immediate throw off. There’s nothing worst than trying a random lineup out of the blue for a game that is so fast paced, then having to learn the weapon setup along the way while you’re getting your ass kicked. Not too long ago you did a big sale of bundles and you had people acquiring both Soviet and Japanese bundles for multiple tiers. It would’ve only been logical and a smart move letting players try them out as they pleased, trying them out in a completely new fresh setting. Again, another lack of planning and thinking ahead.
You should’ve let players try their own presets, don’t be so hand holding and let players go bonkers. There’s many veterans alike that have grinded out both factions and were really looking forward to this. In the case of Japan, (which I feel it’s the main reason why they did it) do not underestimate their playerbase, same for the Soviets. They have very dedicated players that will fight hard until the end as long as you allow them to play with the lineups they have meticulously crafted over the years based on in-game battle experience. But you decided to partially cripple both factions by chosing lineups for them. If this was supposed to be a test, this is not how you test out a future in-game scenario of Japan vs Soviets, as the lineups you picked are not an accurate representation of a player’s choice.
Lastly, the obvious pandering of having players lean towards one faction by default has soured the event from the release. I know you have changed this by now, allegedly, as I haven’t played since yesterday. But the damage was done for a player’s first impression. For any future events of faction vs faction, it should be the norm to be assigned random teams, it’s only logical one team will end up getting the short end of the stick if this rule is not applied.

Event, now its fairly evenly balanced and more about skill to earn xp. Although 12k xp is kinda high…
Japanese Tiger finally, also more planes for Japan, although, lack of attackers.
Dislike:
Preferred maps system doesn’t work, needs hard logic, it is our choice what we want to play, how long we want to wait isn’t it?
Berlin all BRs, set fuel to the fire for the HAs here, fix preferences and it would not matter.
Some spawn bugs on both Stalingrad map and pacific event maps, had an APC spawn in house earlier.
That’s enough for now, keep up good work

Don’t like: The horrid shrinking playing area, now to extreme.
The amount of object clutter placed deliberately around to frustrate tank movement.
Tank HE shells being nerfed against infantry, a hits a hit.
Carrier take off speeds for planes like the Dauntless and D3A.

Matchmaker for all nation ‘separate entity group’ rather than merging them.
BR I separate entity
BR II separate entity
BR III separate entity
BR IV separate entity
BR V separate entity

What you like
- Finally getting some BRII updates for Germany, even if its only a weapon it is well recieved.
What you don’t like
- Make the BR be separated entities once and for all. Specially noticable in vehicles where i have seen players dominate the skyes with planes or tank 2 BR levels above the rest. With that you will have a great game.
What I like:
the BR system saw some improvement lately and I figure it’s much better. New weapons are great, Map improvements are coming, we’ll see how they look like. I like the new currency.
What I don’t like:
Inaccurate uniforms and cosmetics, in case of germany they are awful. SS uniforms with wehrmacht collar insignia (litzen), some very questionable belt pouches and other stuff… What have you based it on? world of imagination? Sorry, I got heated a bit. Read, look at photos, contact historian or a reenactor, fix it.
What’s hard to understand:
the progress trees. For example: I grind planes from German branch and the BR goes: III, V, IV, IV, … , III? , V??? This doesn’t make sense

That’s a hard no. Merging is superior. It could see some improvement so that it doesn’t move me whole one group up for just one squad with one guy with rifle that has one level higher BR.
Why is all my stats gone and why does it say i have no military rank!!!
same here, they’re probably fixing the reward system for ranks, which was suggested recently and got quite a bit of attention. This only means that they are in fact taking suggestions into consideration, or at least I hope so.
If I’m right, then a respectful bow from me towards the Devs.

And then I watch the Soviet’s teeth fall out because we haven’t been giving them any real challenge for God knows how long.
