I will start with Universal Reasons that go across all BR ranges, then more BR range specific ones. I'm actually going to offer some solutions and some advice. I want to put it into a few categories, and I again want to reiterate that this isn't a 'Git gud' post in the normal sense. I think a lot of newer players have never seen this kind of Axis grindfest before, but it's happened many times in the past since 2015, not just for Axis but for any nation that's getting something that's been hyped up. These somewhat apply to Russia as well, though not to the same extent. There are both valid and invalid reasons I've come across and several BR ranges that are indeed imbalanced but I would say a lot of the issues stem from a few easily identifiable factors. I have however spent most of my time playing things like the La-9, Tempest 2, F4U-4B, MB.5, Some Spitfires, shitheaps like the F2H, Barougan, F-80C, for jets lots of MiG-17, F-2, Hunter etc. This is an observation post from playing almost exclusively Allies or USSR since patch 1.79, with some minor deviations here and there. While Germany was always extremely popular, Japan was an ironic 'sleeping giant' in terms of how much people spammed it, and is now basically present in every single match you play. Hi everyone, I have noticed a massive spike in the numbers of people grinding Japan and the other two Axis nations (Italy, Germany) to get a head start for the new jet toys that are about to drop tomorrow.
