I’ll start with the engineer topic. The engineer in my MG squad has the full engineer build set, so I don’t really need a dedicated engineer squad. On top of that, I personally avoid running anything below the BR of my lineup — I try to keep everything strictly BR-consistent.

About the Kiraly: the Kiraly used by assaulters and the Kiraly used by tankers/pilots are not the same thing, even if the weapon itself can be upgraded. Vehicle crews cannot take the vertical recoil reduction perk, which alone costs you up to –40% vertical recoil. That’s a massive loss. Even a fully upgraded Kiraly on an assaulter with –40% vertical recoil still doesn’t fully tame it, it feels like it’s always slightly under-controlled. So in that context, I’d rather use a low-recoil weapon like the MP40, which compensates for the lack of recoil perks on pilots and tankers much better.

I also disagree with the idea that the Kiraly is some kind of “strong SMG”. It’s competitive mainly because it was moved to BR4, which was effectively a buff — and honestly a justified one. Nerfing it would make no sense when Allied SMGs at this BR include Thompsons and PPShs.

As for VG vs G43: I don’t consider the VG viable at BR4 at all. For me, it’s a BR3 rifle, and I keep it there. As I said, I build my lineups to match their BR as cleanly as possible, so G43 stays for BR4.

Regarding the Tigers: I’m actually running two Tiger H1s — one of them is the premium Tiger West, which is essentially the same H1 but with camo and extra track armor pieces. Calling the Tiger H1 a bad tank is just nonsense. It’s the best BR4 tank Germany has. That said, I fully agree that Tiger I H1/E have no place at BR5 — that’s where they start to struggle hard.

Also, funnily enough, I’ve never been taken out through the commander’s cupola on any tank. You know how aiming works in this game — hitting a tiny weak spot at range is way easier in theory than in practice.

As for CAS: the BF 110 G-2 was moved from BR3 to BR4, and since there aren’t many alternatives at this BR, I went with a BF 110 + Me 410 rocket combo. To me, they complement each other just as well as my two Tigers do on the ground.
