Team balance, easy fix
I have been saying this for a while now. I think the game has excellent weapon balance, vehicles are ok (tanks and AA a bit OP) but the main issue is still TEAM balance. We all know what I'm talking...

Hey mates!
I have experienced bad balancing again - it didn't get better. We fought outnumbered the whole time!
I bet, this is related to the "static, inflexible 4-Player-Squads method".
Please fix it and/or avoid a technique like this in future online multiplayer games.
Thx!
Evidence:
@Michaelp800 I wouldn't say this is 100% the games fault. As the game tries to auto-balance, people will leave during the loading screen, at the beginning or right at the end of the last match and this will throw the numbers off. There's also people who decide to switch sides at the beginning which will skew the numbers too
The matching system is one of the biggest issues since release. Not only it forgets to add people to one side and you end up games like 8 vs 14 but rank selection is completely random which leads to very unbalanced matches.
- @Real_Noobalishus Better this method than completely unbalanced matches.
It don't need to be auto balance, but just a more flexible assignment at the matches start.- @Michaelp800 I completely get where you're coming from, I'm merely suggesting that perhaps in the image above, the match was initially balance and then right before you loaded in, half of the other team left after the balance was made, which makes it look skewed. I don't know how many players were on the game before but there's not a full game there and so its possible 1/3 left causing the imbalance.
The question I guess would be if say you were doing really well on the inning team, how would you feel if the game auto-switched you to the other side with no way of getting back. Chances are if you were on a kill streak you'd feel pretty jaded. The reality is that would happen if you implemented auto balance in an active game and not pregameI don't think we need auto balancing.
In my opinion, a good solution would be: If you are not in a squad with friends, the squad assignment should only be made shortly before the start of the round (balanced) - without being assigned to a squad at the beginning (that should only be done later).
Unfortunately, you are currently also put into a static squad of four, even if you don't play with friends at all.
So: Without friends = no static squad even before the match (means "free running players in the pool without a squad"). And then right before the start of the round = balancing the free players and allocation of squads.These stacks of 4 are just too inflexible.
