BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is some shots from Stalingrad kessel:
Russian 32 player and 50 player:
Assault Class: From 3 SMGs to 8 SMGs
Semi riflement: 2 semis to 5 semis
Machine Gunner: 1 LMG to 2 LMG
Combat Engineers: 2 to 3 (all have SMGs)
Snipers and Commanders are the same.
PROBLEM: The map got 18 extra players, thats around 38% more people, yet the numbers of Assault troopers have gone up over 150%, and the number of semi riflemen are also up 150%.
Considering the additional 38% of players, that means it is reasonable to increase each class by 33-38% to get a whole number.
3 assault troopers should become 4
2 semis should become 3
As of the moment, there are a total of 12 players that can have SMGs for the russians on this map, 5 with semi's and 2 with MGs. That means 20 players have something other then a bolt action. Just 5 of 25 players on a map have a bolt action, and one of those have a sniper, so the last unlucky 4 players on the Russian side have regular non scoped bolt actions.
If the numbers were to be increase in regards to the 38% increase in server population there would be a total of 7 people with SMGs, 3 with semis, and 2 lmgs. That means there would be13 players would have bolt actions and 12 others with SMGs/Semi's/LMGs on the russian side. If the numbers stayed like the 32 player map, with a total of 5 SMGs, 2 semis, and 1 LMG, then the russians would have 17 players with bolt actions and 8 players with SMGs/Semi's/LMGs.
OKAY:
2 Machine guns are not that bad. Given we are fighting with the equivelent of WWII size squads per side, 2 LMGs is reasonable given that is what 2 squads would have overall.
3 combat engineers are a 33% increase, which is perfect since maps now have 38% more people.
Snipers and commanders have remained the same.
German 32 player and 50 player:
Assault Troopers: 3 SMGs to 8 SMGs
Semi Riflement: 2 semi's to 5 semis
PROBLEM:
Exact same as above. 150% increase in both SMGs and Semi's because of an influx of 38% more players. It just doesnt make any sense!
For the Germans they have 9 SMGs, and 5 semis and 2 MGs. means they have 9 players with bolt actions while 16 have SMGs/Semi's/LMGs.
If the numbers were to be increase in regards to the 38% increase in server population there would be a total of 4 people with SMGs, 3 with semis, and 2 lmgs. That means 16 players would have bolt actions on the German side while 9 would have SMGs/Semi's/LMGs. If the numbers stayed like the 32 player map, with a total of 3 SMGs, 2 semis, and 2 LMG, then the Germans would have 18 players with bolt actions and 7 players with SMGs/Semi's/LMGs.
As you can see, the numbers for many of the classes have more then doubled in many cases and others have stayed the same. Regardless the percentages of the old 32 map are not the same as the percentages of the 50 player.
That right there is what I am angry about. There simply is no reason why the number of SMGs and Semi's should be so high. When I am able I will provide more of these comparisons.
