Hello my friends and fellow Enlisted players and compatriots.
I bring to you all a proposition to bring a campaign that is very feasible and relatively realistic that can bring some added benefits and balance to BR.5 for Allies and Axis, as well as harp on some of the current Soviet V Axis gameplay.
The end of the European conflict was a brutal and absolutely chaotic, devastating and disastrous period where the war was being fought so rapidly and aggressively that soldiers in retreat were behind enemy lines while standing still!
We have seen combat footage on top of the history and encounters of battles, encounters and never before seen situations that have impressed us as historians, WW2 enthusiasts and everyone in between. The battle of Cologne Germany was one that the world did not prepare for, yet took the Germans by their own horns!
Near the end of the war, we saw an increase of combat with weapons that are mostly present in game, but for the Allies and Axis some additions would be nice to see, and some would be merely suggestions to a tech tree. I wish to see the addition of a Boeing B-29 Super Fortress for the US faction and to see the M26 Pershing make its presence known to Axis players. Some other vehicles and variants of vehicles currently in game would also be a very nice addition to the vehicle gameplay. (I know this is an infantry gam, but vehicles and/with infantry is, was and always will be a winning combo for games and real conflicts)
I believe that adding the allied western front and bringing it to āBerlinā, or cities near āBerlinā, those of which were at the end of the European conflict, I.E Cologne, Frankfurt, DĆ¼sseldorf, Essen, Leipzig, Hanover, Hamburgā¦ Nearing Berlin more so: Potsdam, Teltow, Hennigsdorf and Falkensee. These cities can be filled and created using pre-existing in game assets as well as new as seats of need be.
The purpose of my suggestion is for a new location, additional vehicles and equipments that could be possible, but mostly and primarily my main reason is the addition and justification of late war weapons, equipment and vehicles. As mentioned before, those vehicles could be added, and some vehicles I would love to see also would be the:
Allies: B-25 J Mitchell, B-29 Super Fortress. The
P-51D. M26 Pershing. The M8 Greyhound (free version). Willyās Jeep (with 30.cal or M18/20) and maybe another transport vehicle or APC.
Weapons: M18 Recoilless rifle or M20 Recoilless rifle. (Could be used on the jeep or handheld).
(tbh I donāt think other weapons need to be added, I just wanted to separate my vehicles from weapons)
As for the Axis, we would see the same āBerlinā clothing options and uniforms, Volk squads and maybe some āNormandyā uniforms (from the campaign) because they would be fitting for the settings/areas.
The vehicles the Germans could be given would consist of:
He 177 Greif bomber plane for ālast ditchā strategic bombing runs on allied positions and convoys. Me 264 (long range bomber) that could unleash some very heavy bombing runs and allow the axis to clear up lost ground. The Me 262 jet fighter would be a powerful fighter against the allied air power. The Henschel Jagtiger (I know it wasnāt used much in Berlin but it would be used in other citiesās conflicts until the end). Sd.kfz.222 light armored car with a small cannon, 20mm preferably (same one that engineers build).
As for weapons: I would like to see the 88mm Flak cannon.
As for both of these factions, I believe that both of these vehicles and variants of themselves balance each other out and they will be very fun to play and use! I believe the addition of more engineer structures and buildables would be advantageous for both sides because as it is now, there is very basic (yet good) things to construct. If it was possible to build brick walls to some degree, or build a M18/88Flk would be extremely fun and game changing. Again, I personally believe these vehicles would be/could be balanced against one another.
I mentioned an additional T-6/BR6 because of the serious effects and destruction that could be brought to the battlefield by such vehicles, some of which, the Bombers both Axis and Allies would be put into T-6 for some and BR5 for others but they would still be usable by someone in BR6 if they are in that Tier queue. It would allow the higher BR players to have a āexperienced players onlyā arena without hindering the gameplay of new players or veteran players who do not wish to be in the queue. Maybe the BR6/T6 idea isnāt any good, I donāt know, I believe that in theory it would work very well, but again to be fair, it may not work in practiceā¦ BR6/T6 would only play against
T-6/BR6 and T5/BR5. BR5 allies and axis can hold their own as it is currently in game now, with the addition of a higher BR/T, the higher BR would alleviate some of the pressure from the Tiger II and the use of some of the allied equipments and planes as they are now.
These are just my thoughts and suggestions. I have written this post over a 3 day period because I wanted to be sure about my thoughts. These are my own thoughts and opinions, I wish to have a good discussion with you all!
Thank you for your time reading.
