Look i see no fucking point in arguing with you.

You cant even compare HLL and enlisted in historical accuracy. Its night and day

I also see no point in arguing with fanboys.

Go back to reddit.

I literally said why it’s not.

I literally said why enlisted is not and why HLL is.

Now ok, compare HLL western front with enlisted normandy (the most popular campaign). Which is more historically accurate? :))

I thought i would sacrifice 45$ for it but 60$ is incredibly much… even for me

It’s not.

Again, there is Post Scriptum. Go play it if you want both content and historical accuracy.

But you want to run&gun thinking that you play a VeRy ReAlIsTiC GaMe.

Obviously you havent played HLL. Go ahead and try to run n gun there, lets see how far you get? Ill bet 5 to 10 meters, before youre domed

Play the game before you talk

PTRS should be the Russian anti tank weapon in Berlin

The AS-44 is good, is it P2W, eh not really. I mean don’t get me wrong it is great, but it isn’t this crazy weapon soo different from the Mp-43. They should add more recoil to the AS-44 and take it’s damage down to the match it along with muzzle velocity but the stats speak for themselves:
AS-44
Mp-43

the concpet of premium squads is P2W, if you’re lvl 1 and buy an as44 or stg45 squad you suddendly have a max lvl squad already full kitted with pretty good guns.

they’re still P2W, depending what lvl you are.

First HLL claims to be historically accurate, then adds Panther, StG-44 and G43 to Stalingrad.
And HLL fans vehemently defend that, saying that’s not important and ā€œif you want realism, get 1 life for gameā€.

(HLL smells a lot like ā€˜only western front is important’)

By what metric?
I say Moscow.

So if you are a lvl 1 and you buy the FNAB 4 man squad in Tunisia…it is P2W? I just don’t get that concept or agree with it, because paying money to win would mean you have a distinct advantage over the other team. If you bought the AS-44 or STG-45 you aren’t going to have an advantage over the other team assuming it is a normal match because there are counterparts to weapon available to the other side in the progression tree. Also I don’t see how that is any different than say a level 1 getting matched with a maxed player on the otherside. One just played or maybe paid to the end. So is that Pay to Win/ Play to Win when one has a Mosin but the other has MP-43?

not being a jerk, just trying to understand your position.

my position is i dont care about premium squads they are overpriced and usually bad, but technically they still are P2W bc give you advantages that a normal newbie dont have.

With that I agree with you. 1) they are super overpriced and 2) having a AS-44 does give you an advantage over a dude with a Kar98 who just loaded into his/her first game. I just don’t see the 2nd point as different from the same situation of noob loading into the game with Kar98 and going against a PPSH maxed squad from a player who has played Berlin since Beta.

its different bc the guy from the beta payed that equpment with time spent on the game, and the guy buying just have it from lvl1.

So then you have a completely separate problem. Gate Keeping people who play the longer should have a distinct advantage over players who are just starting out. You will never have retention of a player base ( a problem enlisted actually has) because why would I play this game if I have to suffer objectively more than someone who bought into Berlin access has played for the 11 months it has been out in order to get to a level of lethality. That isn’t balance that is just time being more important than skill. So the real complaint is that people who have put in the time into the game now have their advantage undercut and they don’t like it because they spent time and now it is their turn to dunk on noobs with Mosins

I would also add 3) hiding the only viable counter (Pz IV with HEAT in Moscow vs T-50/34) or unique game mechanics (Engineer with Lewis gun, Rocket tanks) behind paywalls.

I supported the devs at the start by buying BA-11 and Pz 38t as they seemed cool, non-OP and went towards saying thank you to the devs, but these recent Premium squads (and personal pet peeve - (strong) paper guns like AS-44) are way too aggressive.

And I do agree with your sentiment on player retention, I don’t know what the devs were planning but the writing was on the wall a year ago:

100 percent agree. There shouldn’t be things locked behind pay walls the rocket tanks are probably the biggest problem in the game right now as you can’t get them anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong here the direction premium squads are going is a general concern. They are getting more and more powerful. Specially if you compare the lewis gun squad to the FNAB squad. The developers have 100 percent changed their tune with premium. It went from ā€œpremium squads are to help with the grindā€ to hey these guys are an effective squad into the late progression. A lot of that has to be the price no one is going to pay 60 dollars for a squad in a single campaign and it become obsolete when you hit level 32. Not saying I agree with that direction, but P2W would mean that the purchasing party has a distinct advantage over another player, when that is simply not the case with the AS-44 or STG-45. They have viable counters on the other side that are virtually the same and if a level 1 can get it with money I see that as a meh way to balance a broken progression system we currently have, because at the end of the day you are going to have a level 1 suffer or a level 1 making middle tier people suffer who don’t have the counter unlocked yet. That is a progression problem not a weapon problem imo.

They seem to want to create a rival to the stg44 that never existed in history to prove the superiority of the Soviet lol
