In game name is the same as well

Worst comes to worst we can start a new list. I can configure my mumble server as a backup as well since we apparently we're evicted from CTS

Man, playing from the russian side is brutal. People really are trying but there's only so much you can do when the germans have two tankers and you have none.

The SVT-40 is much easier to shoot than the other starting rifles for some reason, may be the sight

E. Also this, from a four minute match They overwhelmed at A then just held all three points the whole map.

E2. Holy poo poo it keeps happening. Does russia have no tankers?

There are tanks, but mostly light tanks. It's a miracle to see medium or heavy in the game, and there will never be more than 2. Germans will come out and have 5-6 heavy tanks spawned at once, no problem.

When USSR was first introduced, RETO increased their troop presence by 50%, and many fights were won just by spamming infantry with anti tank kit. That is pretty much how USSR was able do push Germany back in WW2, having more soldiers than rifles is a strange and bizarre concept.

Now there are never enough people playing on soviet side, so Germans and US will always have 3 more people in game, a maximum imbalance matchmaking server will allow. It's a standard thing now. I love playing USSR because winning is just so rewarding, but it gets really frustrating at times.

Get in the new mumble channel when you play in game, dudes

Yeah, it's really hosed. I played several matches where we were running at the tanks with our spawn shreks and rifles while they just sat at the point with a line of heavy tanks and slaughtered us. There wasn't a game that lasted more than ten minutes. It's not even fun.

Do you use iron sights or just hip fire?

G43 is a special kind of turd. But having owned almost every weapon in the game, I'm happy to run around with the basic un-upgraded g43 with the most expensive custom skin there is. People trip over themselves to pick it up when I'm dead, and wish I could be inside their head once they realize that all upgrade spots are blank.

The shooting is fun but the grind is a pain in the rear end, and the powers right now are

US: Morons
Ger: The Good Ones, and also massively overpopulated
Rus: No one plays, also rifles vs tanks

Play it, try it, see if you want to kill yourself.

I have had issues with both the garand and g43. I suspect the sights, they seem somehow off from where I am shooting although that may just be my own idiocy.

The SVT40 is great though.

I'm doing both to be honest, it's just that it seems to be amazingly inaccurate against enemies right in front of me unless i shoot with like a second inbetween every shot while crouched/prone.

Doesn't help that it's pretty awful if you shoot at someone in a panic since you didn't expect a enemy to pop up just there.

:e Also I know that the G43 shoots a bit above the sights so i try to compensate for that.

If fighting German players has taught be anything it is that your MG won't miss if you use it in melee range

You need to mod it for rate of fire and it will be a devastating tool. You can walk and fire with it now, so room clearing is possible. 3 shots center mass is enough to kill, so fire in bursts. Wait till you get an Mg42, it's rate of fire is much faster.

German players love to run around with fully upgraded weapons too. I don't know how they manage to pay for all that ammo, but somehow they persevere. Always pick up German guns, you're not paying for ammo after all :D

i think its 4 shots to kill with the mg34, but the problem i have with melee range is that the bullets magically go behind the person. i feel like one of the villains henchman from a James Bond movie. You can see the loving silhouette of the dude i was trying to shoot as he whistles and runs away unharmed.

The way they pitched it would make it seem 30+ minutes should net at least as much as previously. If not, thats a shame.

I am hopping on later with my bro and will weigh in then. I'm just happy you get increased points for kills assaulting as well as defending points now.

Hi all, I haven't played in like half a year and I heard a lot of good stuff about the new patch(es) so I logged on to see what has changed - I used to have a completely tricked out German Recon with a fully modded scoped K98 - but it seems that all of my poo poo got reset and I can't even make it a one-hit kill anymore? I'm not sure what gives, did they just nerf that into oblivion? I had a maxed out sniper assault ribbon but apparently zero ranks of K98 specialist. This kinda bummed me out and I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something obvious before I give up on the game. :(

All your upgrades were refunded in credits, you should have hundreds of thousands to spend on whatever you wish. All the mods are the same as 6 months ago. I have a 1-hit-kill rifle and so can you. Weapon ribbons are not retroactive, they did not exist before the previous patch, so naturally you have 0% progress. You need to play with the rifle to unlock upgrades all over again, have fun.
