AS-44 for soviet campaign?

Ive seen a reddit post where Evgeniy aka Keofox stated that he wants the AS-44 to be available for soviets in berlin campaign. Hmmm im askin why ? Why is it still needed to do things like that ?

Since soviet players eventually prefer PPSH-41 and AVT, AVS rifles instead in the first place

This addition should not happen, if the weapon will behave like current AS-44 in premium squad… it will destroy already full auto campaign and basically hinder any advantage the germans might have… what do you want to put for germans as counter ? HKG3 ? or Steyr AUG ?

Does not already enough players complain about historical inaccuracy,strange monetization of premium squads and other ingame items, uncontrolled full auto guns spam and strange advantages and disadvantages you developed to balance the game ? Is this really the only way how to provide solution ? Putting post war weapons ? Im also not a fan of MKB 42 prototype in stalingrad but since the gun is nerfed as it is … it seems people can somehow live with it

Regardless how the newly added weapon will behave… this AS-44 project weapon also doesnt belong to the period of WW2 in any possible way … which this itself is suspiciously pointless argument ( just like many other weapons historical inaccuracies in enlisted )

I understand that certain changes are very painful to change. I understand that we are all people and do make mistakes that cant be undoned just by simple click and need more development … I understand circumstances under whose the game development is made but im asking you to focus on more important things than adding unrealistic guns. Please improve AI more instead

There was voting poll about aviation some time ago… im happy to see it in future and how you will deal with aviation overall , just as im happy that mods appeared on enlisted, also im eager to see what stalingrads mechanics will do to other campaigns and im happy that you are trying to improve your communication with players which is great.

Only more info would help about future of the game, certain explanations of peoples complaints and addtition of more refundation choices is something i really miss along with correct advertising of the game :slight_smile:

They have some level to add and probably in some twisted way for them the stg44 is equivalent to the ak47 prototype and the Rd-44 (rpd)

But i cant expect nothing else from someone wo think the berettaM38 (20rd) is at same level of the ppsh41 (71rd) or the vg1-5 a semi-auto is equivalent to the ppd40

It won’t destroy anything. It’s worse than ppsh and fedorov, so zero influence on balance.

It will be there just because. Just because symmetrical progression, so if germans get an smg at certain level, soviets are getting smg too.

It doesn’t, but devs have their own way of developing the game.

But we don’t have any classes with level higher than 3 (I mean, assaulters 3, machinegunners 3, etc), so just like in moscow soviets can get not a new squad but another mg, while germans will get smg at the same level. Who knows. And new AS can still be a golden order gun.

Its killing ww2 atmosphere , many weapon decisions in other campaigns are doing it already… they should rethink it … i know its because of balance but its not very historically accurate way and when should it change if not nowadays ? the game is in OBT …italian players are also very sad how every interesting italian weapon added to a game is locked behind overpriced paywall… this is also not needed … and surely can be done better, but when people complain about it they get no official answer

All the unhistorical weapons need to be moved to gold orders or better removed all together. Theyre killing gameplay, theyre killing the historical accuracy. Then why keep them?

These weapons that need to be moved to gold orders or removed are:

Federov, MKBs, AVS36 (Moscow), AVT40s, ZH29s, FG42IIs (not scoped), M2 carbine.

Find other ways to balance campaigns rather than adding the same counterparts. Maybe give advantages in tanks, planes, other types of guns and so on.

These historical inaccuracies dont belong in this game

Winchester 1895 too then, cuz soviets had the same amount of fedorovs and winchesters at the start of the war.

Most of automatic weapons should go btw, but then we need a semiauto RoF buff for at least 50%.

exactly… regarding the addition of as-44 to campaign , it will ruin the overall magic of playing axis.in berlin…
you go play axis because of different kind weaponry as well, you know that once upon a time you will get stg 44, intermediate assault rife that no other nation had available to soldiers

and suddenly soviets will get some kind of counter ? for what ? because they need it ? no they do not need it … it will only look silly that somebody gave to soviets a weapon they did not have so they can be more capable

That’s just like the Russians using panzerfaust exactly like the germans.

I mean I would have been ok with PTRS initial AT weapon then panzerfaust unlocked a little bit later, but they can’t have the Russian team slacking at all can they.

i agree, i’ve always argued and fought for more historical accuracy, i want the game to be historically accurate regardless of how badly unbalanced it will be. id rather prefer a realistic battle rather than a battle where soldiers run around with extremely rare weapons in large numbers destroying everything in their path

Well we already have unbalanced campaigns. Pretty enjoyable battles against AI, right?

yeah right i forgot… the laser accurate AI that shoots you from 4234672380km away after seeing 3 pixels of your ring finger

oh yes, soviet panzerfaust is always very weird to me, and mauser pistols too

The bolsheviks bought a large number of C96 pistols in the 1920’s, thats why the M1921 got the nickname “Bolo”.

I could agree if the main reason for this topic was not the AS 44, but there was just any fantastic weapon in general.

AVS 36 and M2 carbine a much was produced.
At least ABC 36 for sure, I’m not quite sure about m2. The rest, yes, there were few of them.

I think this is not a very good practice, according to this logic, the Germans in Moscow will have to suffer even more, since they did not have semi-automatic rifles at all at the beginning of the war.But having double standards is also bad.

They already have the Federov which is arguably a lot better
