Sometimes historical accuraccy needs be bend to balance the gameplay. But adding AS-44 mod 5 (only one built up to mid 1946) will not improve the balance at all. That is why Im suprised why they decided to do it.

You know what else is fantasy? Germans having air support in Berlinā¦
I mean when I saw that they were adding the Mkb in Moscow I lost hope for a historically accurate game and it only went downhill from there, so I dont mind built prototypes being added as contentā¦

My humble guess is simply that, since axis needed itās stg44 in Berlin (itās iconic and Normandy have it, nothing new, it just fits well here), they also needed to add an unlock for Soviets as wellā¦ But there wasnāt really anything else they couldāve added at this lvl.
They probably didnāt know what to add. Soviets already reached their peak weaponry wiseā¦
Because, yes, Fedorov remains the best (exaggerated broken) assault rifle in game, better than as44ā¦
But ppsh41 is sexier. And iconic and historical. Ppsh41 forever.

I asked, and I agreed that every Russian man, woman, and child must own their very own copy of the AS 44 that is personally signed by the big man himself Josef Stalin.
Hopefully by next update we get an STG 44 with Vampir scope + Grenade launcher + Laser designator + 100 rd drum magazine + Panzerfaust sidemount + tactical grip and a bayonet lunge with a lunga mine attached on the other end.

Iāll trade an aircraft level for belt fed MG.
And Iāll trade another aircraft level end game for another belt fed MG with 250 rounds.

Sure. Nobody is asking for 1:1 milsim. Make weapon A reload slower, make tank B have more armor, make faction C issue expensive paratrooper rifles to every volkssturm and their grandpa ā the devs have the freedom to balance it all internally without stomping on the remains of claiming to be a āhistorical gameā some time ago.

Belts are another matter entirelyā¦
They should already be there. As customization options, maybe.
With a tradeoff: you bring a big 250 ammo belt instead of the 50 ammo belt? Then your soldier speed is HALVED (those are heavy you know).
Maybe one day, who knows.

This bs has been going on forever now.
Mkb, ivf2, federev, jumbo, etc etc. all as general unlocks.
The madness has just been accelerating and itās only a matter of time before battle of berlin is French vs. Italians now that weāre down the warthunder path.

Unfortunately I think itās too late the ships already sailed and itās not coming back to port.
I like acting like a lunatic in game. Itās different than a tryhard. Itās just doing crazy things, sometimes working, sometimes disastrous, but ALWAYS impressive.
Thatās what happens when you grew up playing unreal, half life and quake multiplayerā¦

well I kind of like that they trying to add interesting guns AS-44 isnāt quite the paper weapon that we think it is there were seven variants of it and even there was an experimental batch of AS44 built and it was delivered to troops for trials (summer 1945 shortly after VE day)most likely the 5th variant that is being added so in my humble opinion it would have been better to add AS-44 as a gold order rather than what we get now but at the end of day it is variety that devs are trying to create since most of the service rifles and guns of soviet have been added maybe they could have given the soviets a captured weapon maybe mp43/1 but then why play Germans where you could get the same weapon in soviet side.They also could have given some other variant of Federov but what I know Im Iām just Enlisted enjoyed

Imo it is doing a lot, AVT , PPSH, AVS , whole game for allies is made around this guns buffed in any possible way so they can compete to AR , i know its videogame and it should be fun for both factions but it should not be totally historically inaccurate and including paper guns, it looks silly , like they cant to balancing in any better way than this ? i know that allied players do not necesarrily need AR anymore 
especially when these pseudo AR soviet wonderguns behave sometimes far more better than they should , and im not talking about mindless CQB where you dont need STG to do the trick, then why devs still wants more AR for soviets ? its been a year now and this question is still on table and not solved
