First impressions after my first battle: A very nice, new feeling with less stress, slower & more strategic game play and and interesting mix of maps i otherwise would have avoided. The best thing is, that low BR seems to only get the autumn Stalingrad maps (inner city) and avoids the boring tractor factory (during winter). I'll post army guides and my recommendations whats worth buying atm during the next days (spoiler alert: many items are too risky to buy atm, since many things will change/be updated).
Stalingrad only that sucks i got stalingrad,moscow and normandy yet to get berlin or tunisia but to be frank i hope i never get tunisia garbadge in my opinion
I had fun playing last night too. I like the tech tree, though it is confusing I don’t nearly have what I want. I feel like they could do a simple update to bring back campaigns and add the English and Italian factions. They can just have the boxes to select and you will only get those maps (so in a way you choose your map) and go off tier of your units you want to play with. I think that would make the game perfect.
I tried that thinking I would enjoy some bolt action tier 2 japan and got run over by americans with nothing but full autos and 75MM HE spamming tanks.
@@maineiacmanyep it’s definitely 50/50 now. You either get a fair and fun match where both sides are the same BR and where actual skill is needed to win, or one completely curb stomps the other just by being a higher BR
They should add a "timeline preference" button. Tick whether you prefer early war, mid war, or late war and it tries to put you in the corresponding maps
@@spencersecrest6001 I want the campaigns back! They could do so much with it (even other wars not only WW2)! But now we have the same bs like in war thunder... Tiger 2 before Moscow, Japanese are now unplayable and i'm sure in future there will come post war tanks etc. what makes the heavy tanks obsolete.Like i said... Same shit like war thunder
I had fun playing tier 2 and tier 5! My problem with playing Germany tier 2 is I’d get all Stalingrad and Tunisia. Only 1 moscow game and that was with tier one. I think they need to make Moscow up to tier 3, or add a tier 6. Not sure how that would work for a faction like Japan though :/
I tried 1 tier 2 Japan game and got absolutely pummeled by americans with nothing but tier 3 gear. Every single game I have played has been a call of duty style sweatfest. This merge is garbage, even the Perk system sucks thanks to being forced to waste 6 perk points before having access to others. 99% of comments from people I play with is negative, along with many just giving up or thinking about giving up.
Its people with tier 4 and 5 gear but they have lower tier tanks, idk how theyre gonna fix it, i saw a pz2 in berlin next to a king tiger and started dying laughing
@pullified81 Yeah that'll still happen regardless lol. But the community managers have already confirmed actual issues with the matchmaker since the update dropped. They said fixes should arrive over the coming days and weeks. I myself was able to get a pure tier 1 Russian lineup into tier 5 Berlin of all places lol. Pretty much just placed rallies and zoomed around in my lil tanks.
for the people going germany BR 1-2 if you have the Moscow Axis Wz.35 AT squad, i recommend using that squad, the engineer can build everything and the AT rifles can kill any soviet/american BR 1 and 2 tanks
Overall I quite enjoyed the update. It reminds me of open beta Moscow, when lobbies were full and the most op weapon was gewehr 41. I didn’t see any out of place shit, like tigers in Stalingrad, but customization is a mess. Give them a month for bug fixes and we’ll be set.
BR 3 seems out of place in the new system. You either play weaker opponents or stronger opponents without much incentive to do so. There are strange placements of weapons in BR 3 such as the SMLE and Lee Enfield, and seeing as they are bolt actions you would think they would be in lower tiers. Also, while the "scaling" matchmaking is basically what was present before, it kind of defeats the purpose of choosing a specific tier. If flamethrowers can show up in BR 1/2 you may as well just play them to so you can be on an equal playing field. Not to mention that tier 3 tanks will decimate BR 1/2 tanks.
I don’t like the research mechanics much. Maybe I don’t fully get it still. I don’t like that I’m unlocking individual items at a time. I don’t even think it is tracking my progress correctly. I’m still very new, but I am actually decent and there’s no way it is taking that long to complete it.
i will say there is a difference in the pace of the games now but i think time will tell... i think there is an issue with organiztion of the squad and the actual battle, i think a map preview then squad select in 90 seconds would be an interest mechanic added to the game. also i noticed when buying soldeiers now there is no total to show your balnace so i had to go back 3 steps to see it again.
When I played the Merge and it has all change I was like: OMG what have they done. This is not a normal history game this is a stupid history game. Damn you Gaijim put it back right now.
Moscow seems to be hard to get, i've been quitting matches for an hour yestrday and only got manor map, which i obviosly quit. US seems to be better RN, i got all 3 campaigns with standard normandy equipment (M1A1 and garands)
Hey I don’t know where to report this to the devs but every time I unlock a thing in the tech tree I have to reload the game to claim it is annyone else having this problem and if you could would you pass that on to the devs para devision
I got italian tanks and soldiers on the train map in Berlin fighting against KV-1s and soviets in Moscow type of uniforms and equipment, lol. This update is absolutely disgusting and it needs to be reverted asap!
... and now if you play for the US vs germans you are facing all that pile of crap which completely got broked Tunissian campaign... Thats great update i think. So you can just downgrade Tier 2 and chill.
Bro your on crack the bots have basically disappeared and the lobbies are 99.9 percent players who have much better equipment... Smh uninstalled asf... I'm so sad they literally ruined my only respite from this world...
yeah right the game is boring as fck now. matches are terrible stale and stagnant. or in worst case it's one team just steamrolling the other so hard. Game is worse in all aspects

Played about 5 games - only got Stalingrad 😢
Boohooo
I once got moscow
Stalingrad only that sucks i got stalingrad,moscow and normandy yet to get berlin or tunisia but to be frank i hope i never get tunisia garbadge in my opinion
With br 1 and 2 squads I got Tunisia a couple of times and the rest of them were in stalingrad. I still haven't seen Moscow.
Same😢

Same, i also played today about 5 battles and it was so fun
I think it's based like warthunder
I can't stand not picking what maps i play now, i miss the old version
Maybe they'll add a filter system to the maps maybe next big update
I’ve been playing BR 2 Japan, and have been having more fun than I have in a long time. The game feels new and fresh!

What squads are you running?
@@StatonVideos Everything tier 2 including the only vehicles. No tier 3 at all
@@maineiacman get gud
They should add a "timeline preference" button. Tick whether you prefer early war, mid war, or late war and it tries to put you in the corresponding maps
That's just campaigns in a different way so no
@@spencersecrest6001 and what's wrong with that?

They need to just put BR3 on its own. I don’t want to have to fight BR5 sweatlords every other game.
Get gud😂
Lol

It's great
Spent all afternoon versing Stuart's, Scotts, and Crusaders in my Tiger II H. 🛌💤
Eager to see that fixed.

Its not a bug. Its a feature.

For my first game as tier V Germany I got Stalingrad with my Tiger

i Just keep facing Tiger 2s if i play soviets even in stalingrad

Have the moscow maps just disappeared? I've playe about 10 matches on BR 2, and only getting Stalingrad... I love moscow winter maps :c
i also only get like 20% moscow on BR2

Super sweaty matches now.
Yay🎉
Just casually watching yourself disconnect from the server via the enemy
When I played the Merge and it has all change I was like: OMG what have they done. This is not a normal history game this is a stupid history game. Damn you Gaijim put it back right now.
Anyone have a problem with no being able to play with any of their soldiers? Mine are all red and says “not ready for battle”
Moscow seems to be hard to get, i've been quitting matches for an hour yestrday and only got manor map, which i obviosly quit.
US seems to be better RN, i got all 3 campaigns with standard normandy equipment (M1A1 and garands)
It sucks so bad
It's great love it
5 matches in Stalingrad with the KT this is just bullshit even one BR2 match in Stalingrad against Tiger E.
Why is the fov so low, it feels a bit dizzy to watch such low fov, I always play on max
i changed it recently to try out different settings to find the best one.
got my first game twelve minutes after update +1
Hey I don’t know where to report this to the devs but every time I unlock a thing in the tech tree I have to reload the game to claim it is annyone else having this problem and if you could would you pass that on to the devs para devision
dont worry, its already pointed out by many ppl. there will be bugfixes in a few days
They fixed it
Personally I would like to see half-tracks at some point for lower BR mechanized infantry.
That would be pretty cool maybe increase size of conquer maps too then best game 10 out of 10
lol the kyle rittenhouse of Stalingrad 6:48
I got italian tanks and soldiers on the train map in Berlin fighting against KV-1s and soviets in Moscow type of uniforms and equipment, lol. This update is absolutely disgusting and it needs to be reverted asap!
Uninstalled asf... Unbalanced asf.. prices are too high and most of all can't pick your campaigns... Maps... So disappointed
@@JohnNarron it's fine get gud noooooob
It's awesome the variety is cool 😎
Looks like the same game just sweatier due to fuller lobbies and no ability for me to pick campaigns. Yay.
Increase skill
@@spencersecrest6001 touch grass
Horrible. LONG TIME player, they broke a great game. IT SUCKS! 0 desire to play this bs.
Then stop playing
It's actually pretty good
Germany 2 br lets me play only Stalingrad and Tunisia maps. In 30 games only 3 were in Moscow.
I only play tier 1 and 2 and most games so far I've been against flamers and full auto guns which isn't fun
... and now if you play for the US vs germans you are facing all that pile of crap which completely got broked Tunissian campaign... Thats great update i think.
So you can just downgrade Tier 2 and chill.
Woot
They ruined a great game , seriously thinking of quitting the game😢
The balance really isn't there. The real problem is the bots.
Bro your on crack the bots have basically disappeared and the lobbies are 99.9 percent players who have much better equipment... Smh uninstalled asf... I'm so sad they literally ruined my only respite from this world...
It's super balanced now what are you talking about
You should use impact grenades on low br. I have 2-3 on every soldier. They are not bugged like rifle grenades
Rifle grenades Really bugged? I'm close to getting one so
@@happy-ck7ng sometimes they don't work same with impact grenades but when they do work there great
Tier 3 tanks vs tier 1 tanks is garbage fix the game. Im just playing tier 5 equipment not sure how this is new player friendly
Get gud noob😂🎉😅
Maybe they'll add stricter battle ratings and revise the whole battle rating system
@@happy-ck7ng hope not
yeah right the game is boring as fck now.
matches are terrible stale and stagnant.
or in worst case it's one team just steamrolling the other so hard.
Game is worse in all aspects
