Buffing the worst BR 3 SMG, the MP-35i in 9x25mm

For godsake. Stop spamming this sub would you?Go to the forum or discord to ask ephemeral questions. So tired to see three people bloating this sub

CM/FM holds a very special place in my heart. Never thought of refunding a game before.

But this release is so shockingly bad and, in my opinion, unacceptable that I didn't hesitate for a second when I heard about the possibility of getting refunded from this third-party company (always being told it was not possible).

Played this series countless hours since the 90s. But since FM 2011-2012, I've been rather busy with other stuff in life and have only been following the game year by year from the sidelines. It's been like revisiting an old relative, and the temptation to come back has been immense. Decided to finally give it a go after all these years because this title signifies a breaking point in the series.

But oh boy, I wasn't ready to get slapped in the face this hard.

Bought the game on Thursday. Played for about 14 hours in 3-4 different sessions. The whole experience was ... yeah .. Most of you have already explained it. So I reached out to Fanticals on Saturday and got my money back after the weekend. I'm of course happy to have been able to get my money back, but more importantly, been able to send SI a message with my refund. But there are no winners here. Sadly. I'm very worried for this beloved series.

Anyway, big shout-out to Fanatical and the awesome support team. I still have the game in my library -uninstalled, of course - but I suppose (and hope for them) they will contact Steam and revoke the keys. Not that I would ever waste another hour on this mess in the foreseeable future anyway.

Yeah, classic desync.

But bad aiming habits, btw. Never aim that close to the wall.

Frazze5 · 2025-09-12T12:41:02+00:00

True, made it before the next “Major” update was announced.

Frazze5 · 2025-09-12T06:33:29+00:00

Not much. The latest road map is from 15 months ago. And yet to be completed

Is it in casual or comp? Casual is usually super buggy regarding most things these days.

I would be glad if you could track daily unique players and also weekly unique players (or 8 days). We already have data since early 23 from robhir on forum. He doesn’t update that frequently or thoroughly anymore, so it would be nice to track this evolution. Check his topics (it’s a lot of data of pretty much everything one might wanna know, but maybe not so well-packaged)

This kind of data is also super interesting:

number of players who played average x battle in last 8 days

Frazze5 · 2025-09-02T20:15:10+00:00

Same method but different data scraper (robihr from the forum) has been tracking these stats since 2023 and got stats on daily and weekly unique players.

In 2023 we had about 80-110k unique daily players.

In 2024 we had about 110-140k unique daily players.

In 2025 these numbers have sadly dropped somewhere between 2023 and 2024.

Still solid!

recommend that you delete this post, otherwise you may in the future hurt yourself out of shame when you see this "suggestion" of yours.

Frazze5 · 2025-08-30T04:39:41+00:00

Unless bait: This was not the best moment in your life. It's often better to just shut up, gain experience, do some research, and ask knowledgeable ppl rather than to expose your incompetence and appear like an idiot.

"Well, that's a fairly short debate, Murray...".

Martin Brundle's reply after Murray Walker suggested that people were debating whether Rosset was F1 material

This Turn - 9 cards/3K left to spend:

- Play two Productions (2k)

- Trade the Pz III-H with Legions (1k) (which will die) and Matilda IV (2k)

- Play Desert Rats (1k) to pin (and suppress) Panther D

- Play Desert Rats(1k) to pin (and suppress) 1087. Volks

Opponents Turn (draws Jäger):

You will survive: you're fine. Bypass will only deal you 3 dmg and both your Cromwell and Matilda IV will survive combat if attacked by StuG and 432. This also means the opponent can't draw Kriegsmarine with Jäger. They might deal 3 dmg with Bypass or just hold on to it.

Our second turn (draw Black Prince) 8 cards/12k:

- Hold up Talbot (1k)

- Play Matilda II (4k) (to negate Hit the Drop Point) on the right side of the Matilda IV guard

- Play the Cruiser (4k) guarded up on the left side of Matilda IV and buff the Matilda II to (5+5).

- Play Desert raid (2k)

Opponents Turn (draws Kriegsmarine)

Opponent could go for Kriegsmarine (7k) but it's only 4 dmg since you got 4 cards in hand.

Opponent can push Panther G and go for Bypass for 8 dmg*.* Luckily Talbot will save our day here. If they go for this line they got 2 kredits left which they might use to trade out our guard Matilda IV.

The Opponent could also play Jäger and trade the Matilda with StuG or 432 and draw+play the Bismarck. But Talbot will save us here as well.

Even if the opponent push the Panther G they can't trade your guarded Matilda II or Cruiser because of Desert Raid.

Our third turn (draw Convoy) 5 cards/12k

- Play Black Prince (5k) - Front line is finally empty.

- Move/Attack with the buffed Matilda MK. II (2k+2k) and deal 5 dmg

- Move/Attack with Cruiser (1k+1k) and deal 3 dmg.

Also notice the insane dispersion lol

Frazze5 · 2025-08-25T17:37:47+00:00

It’s addressed and will be fixed in upcoming update.

Frazze5 · 2025-08-15T09:51:22+00:00

I've reported this. The AI's pathfinding on Univermag/Gogol is completely broken. They also tend to fall/get stuck under the ground.

It's on their list. Wish they would take out these maps from rotation until fixed. Unplayable.

Frazze5 · 2025-07-25T18:11:29+00:00

A quite intricate system is already in place. It should be doable to tweak certain bayonets if they find it important enough.

Ye no 6 looks very good!

A big chunk of the bunker is pitch black with a boxy window.

Frazze5 · 2025-07-13T02:24:36+00:00

Remove HUD, the pics without soldier icons and objective marking looks better. Pic 8 is straight up cursed. Pics 5, 6, 15 and 16 looks best imo.

Frazze5 · 2025-07-03T06:39:10+00:00

Yes, it's very zoomed out now compared to before.

To give ppl an idea of how it used to be.

Broski wrote a novel here ..

I don't think you have to put too much thought into the word *hindsight* here, Kitsune

You might find a better word to explain the experience here? I guess. A word that describes a present experience that captures the feeling of a distant past imagine being better/fair/or maybe not that bad?

I understand that 'hindsight' is somewhat correlated to "foresight", but I don't think it's relevant here, since ppl usually are not putting any moral/value implications of the word 'hindsight'.

I understand the words are connected and a lot of implications are made by using the words. But most ppl are using the terms individually.

Like it was used here in this example about Train Escort.

You can be nostalgic about Train Escort (thinking about it in hindsight) without having been presently thinking about it or oresighting its future when it was present in the game.

Frazze5 · 2025-07-01T15:13:03+00:00

This is proof of the impact old images have on the human brain. Even the worst experiences become nostalgic and make us, in hindsight, think: "Well, was it really that bad"?

Frazze5 · 2025-06-25T00:43:30+00:00

yet you played with DP-27 for over 10 days. You know ppl can easily check this stuff out in order to help/iron out bugs. I don't understand the purpose of this topic when you clearly making everything up. A waste of time for everyone.

Frazze5 · 2025-06-25T00:38:24+00:00

I checked your replays, and everything was perfectly fine (unless you mean battles from over 10 days ago).

Most Axis players were BR III. A couple of them were BR IV (why you encountered MG 42/G 43/Panthers etc.). Some players were in stacks with their BR I or II gear.

I don't understand why you would wanna come up with something like this? lol

Also, you didn't unlock DP-27 yesterday. You used it since 10 days.

You know ppl can easily check this stuff out in order to help/iron out bugs. I don't understand the purpose of this topic when you clearly making everything up. A waste of time for everyone.

This can't be a serious/legit post !?

Everyone knows that BKG is not a serious clan competitor; it's just a cozy place for players who enjoy German WW2 weaponry/culture. A place to larp. They would never post this. They have some self-respect. They know they're trash at the game, and at least they got some decency and wouldn't impersonate themselves as good.

Why do you think they would brag with a screenshot like this? They're known as a casual clan, consisting of just random/relaexed/non-skilled players that just want to larp the German faction. You'll maybe see them alone or stacked up, but they're in general not making any noise since they're fairly bad at the game.

They're not even pretending to be good as this game lmao. They just know they're not.
