i know this feeling exactly when i play axis pacific, literally 70% if not more of the axis guns there are prototypes so they can compete against US forces, and many of us agreed that it is necessary so at least 30 campaign lvls can be there, devs wanted full auto fiesta and preserve character of the current enlisted
but these japanese guns are from ww2 era and use ww2 ammo, and are not OP or vastly superior to allied guns so its bearable and at least fun for axis and not pain for allies even when japanese forces suddenly use guns they wanted but not used
meanwhile free As-44 would be for faction that already has everything and has no need for extra weaponry beacause it possesed capable guns that are in the game already,
No one is crying for a 1:1 counter of other factions, the AS-44 is nothing but a stupid copy paste of the StG44 because devs wanted to lazy and add new levels from already existing assets.
When I made this suggestion, I never expected that it would lead to BS like this.
Historical accuracy is a constant straw man that gets thrown around every time somebody doesnāt like that a specific faction gets a new, subjectively better weapons.
People should just come out and say what they really feel about the subject.
Personally I think that there is too much emphasis on full auto, fast paced rush gameplay that is only exacerbated by the constant influx of new automatic weapons. The only classes that should get automatic weapons should be assaulters and machine gunners, and the number that can be used in a match should be limited.
Historical accuracy for Berlin is already out of the window like how the Germans are able to have enough fuel and spare parts for their tanks alongside planes as by the time the fighting reaches on the center, Berlin was already fully encircled at this point.
Might as well add SKS, T-44 and IS-3 at this point or if we go further, the prototype AK-46 from Kalashnikov which was the competitor to the AS-44 and the predecessor of the famous AK obr 1947.
Oh yeah. Why not hate the devs for giving the Germans the Panzer III B, ZH or the Tommy the A13 or the Birgers the outphased shells for the 75mm cannons because they are so strong?
I have mixed feelings on ahistorical weapons and equipment, and personally try to limit my setups to the more common weapons of the time. Thatās not to say I never use experimental guns, just that I try not to equip entire lineups with them.
Thatās not really my point though. My point is that people use the historical argument as a straw man for things they donāt like for other reasons. All Iām saying is be honest with your arguments so we can get to the meat of the issue.
There are dozens of guns that rarely get mentioned as ahistorical because they arenāt meta and nobody pays attention to them. People are so selective with that argument that it loses itās meaning.
Just say you donāt want the Soviets to get another assault rifle, Iām not even saying they should: I think itās another cheap filler because they ran out of real guns years ago and they need to keep adding easy content.
Iād rather see new maps and objectives and game features, but itās quicker to pop out another gun and people complain if itās been more than a month without a new shiny to play with.
If you like Warthunder a bit, itās not so different, about 33% of the vehicles found there are paper vehicles.
Itās fine. Because honestly, the historical accuracy debate is outdated, there has been anachronistic things forā¦ well since release, and knowing Enlisted will undergo a complete Warthunder conversion (battle rating, combined factions, any map playable), itās a bit pointless, silly even, to be surprised about it now.
Most vocal ppl WANTED this during the announcement of the conversion, soā¦
Gotta enjoy Enlisted for what it is: a fun, stress reliever (inducing???) ARCADE game. Itās not a milsim like Arma. Itās not close to Red Orchestra anymore. Itās chaotic goofiness like the regretted Heroes & Generals (I miss this silly game. Tlm can eat a d*** for killing the IP.)
Why bother with the Panzer III B if it didnt bother the devs two years ago and instead try and go with the latest x?
I also donāt know speaking of the AS if that argument makes sense since the Fedorov exists. And speaking od Fedorov, I saw plenty of people who say that it has ridiculous stats is pout of place, and exists for no reason both in Berlin and Moscow (there it only exists to counter the time travel Mkb).
Long story, short end: Most ahistorical free stuff only creates new issues and doesnāt solve issues or worse they put free and logical stuff such as the StuG behind a paywall for no reason. The SF issue is also not even a historical accuracy issue but just stupidity because they only exist to make Radioman II existence not pointless.
