Guys what if only tier IV or V soldiers could use FG42s/ STG44s, the more rare automatic weapons, since they were often given to combat proven soldiers. D:

Well in the case of the Soviets it was more a battalion thing, they moved SMG equiped infantry by the bulk, in the case of the Germans, they use more smgs later in the war when ever they could and made sense, because for the most part earlier in the war only the squad leader was issued one.
Still you are talking about a single squad from every squad there is in the game, so why are you comparing it to the whole army?.
Would even be a issue after the first week of playtime.
Getting level 4 and 5 soldiers is as fast as the academy goes.
Or 40 gold…
Standard German squads had up to 2 mp40s, a squad commander and vice commander. The rest were rifles. This kinda works in the game, but not really, because suppressing fire doesn’t really work with smgs(in enlisted).
Smgs are kinda weak even at close range. The only exception is the Russian smg. You can put this theory to the test, and you’ll find the ai with the rifles will have the advantage at most ranges. Unless, you just want extra spawns with automatics then it makes sense to have 4 assaulters.
I suggested to make them usable only by troopers in assaulter squad with smg so we have only a full auto squad instead the rest of the squad using bolt-action and semi-auto
1 saper with bolt,1 mg, 2 assaulters,2 semi-auto and 1 bomber with bolt.
mg and semi auto are best combo for me
Yes, I want to reduce it by one gunner or one assaulter.
So your 4 assaulter setup would be still possible, you will only loose acces to the gunner (in this case).
Sounds more like delaing the problem rather than solving it.
It’s comically unhistorical that nobody in WW2 would launch an assault mission with only submachine guns and BA rifles.

But this is a lie…
there were a lot of PPSh,PPS,SVT
Millions
Meh. I like how it is now, I wouldn’t change it. I like my squads being specialized, so my assaulter squad is a “BRRRR” squad with 4 smg and 1 gunner. On the other hand I keep the trooper squad in my roster who all still use BA (with boom surprises attached but hey I like my fun)

Simmilar things can be said about 90% of all squads so I don’t see your point
No he is correct. The sovjets produced 5 mil smgs and produced 20 +million rifles plus they imported rifles as well. This is only during ww2. Before ww2 they produced 17 million of mosin nagants as well.
So no the smg/semi auto rifles where not the majority of guns.
Army was small ,+ - 5-6 millions at start.
At the start they had 98,644 PPSh and 5,868 PPD. So 0.2% of the army had an smg. What is the lie here again?
he refuses to believe that a bulk of soviet forces wasn’t armed with glorious shpagin.

Seems like it indeed xD So dumb to call someone a liar but have no idea yourself xD
Anyhow, on the main topic. I really like how the squads are done right now, customisation is what draws me to this game and the assault squad is one of the favorites. The mg is not a key piece in the squad so I dont see a need to remove that one out of it tbh.
1.6mil svt +5mil smgs = 6.6 mil.
20 mil rifles during + 17 million pre war = 37 mil.
Still not close to the majority.
Again, where is the lie?
Edit: I checked the information you gave. There where only ever 1,6 million SVT rifles produced. Total of all variants.
