I think it would be a good idea that, since the developers started the idea by dropping the Japanese stick mines, it would be a good idea to leave some BR 4.5 weapons on BR 1,2,3 maps, of course, with historical accuracy
as an example, the avs 36, ppsh41 drum magazine on moscow
mg42 on tunisia
What do you think?
Akso give the bot squads br 5 guns. Currently they have wierd mix of random stuff. Could be nice to see ppsh 41 drums in moscow
Like always, some “people” will find a way to exploit something like this. We sadly can’t have nice things. 
Bots are limited to BR 1-3 guns only right now , even in BR5 games.
well, my idea is that there are, maybe 5-10 weapons around the map with some magazines, and the weapons will disappear like all weapons after some minutes
And they have unhistorical guns. Germans using beretta smgs, carcanos and bredas while us troops have lee enfields and lanchesters. If players wont use ha guns atleast make the bots use them
i mean i always want to see this tbh maybe on those plane crash map? like in normandy have that paratrooper plane there could maybe be a couple of johnson lmg? idk seem like a decent idea to me
I just don’t trust Darkflow to be able to properly Balance it without the new players suffering.
Yes thats something i cant be opposed to. However i want to be able to equip those weapons onto my soldiers before spawning into those maps.
The Germans actually used them, especially after the Italian Capitulation in 1943 though it depends on the front.
But not in as large quantities as we see ingame. If you dont believe me go take an look for the ardennes axis bot profile. Almost everyone has carcano snipers while kar98ks are almost completely unused. Also the normandy assaulters have more beretta 1918s than mp 40s
This is a sailed ship. This applies to about all weapons in this game that are not produced in six-digit numbers or at least high five-digit ones.
Yes. Yes. And, YES!
The environment should be more lively. It would also be possible to add a couple of broken tanks to the map.(t-34/t-26/kv 1, etc. in Moscow, tiger/pz4/Matilda, etc. in Tunisia, tiger 2/tiger/pz4/Shermans in Normandy and the Ardennes, in Berlin, too, something similar)
They could be repaired with repair kits. Otherwise, they would be like planes at an airfield in Normandy - if no one touches them, they exist until the end of the battle, otherwise there are wreckage remains and there is no respawn for them. This could greatly diversify the game, reduce the progression pressure on new players. Create a variety of situations, add reasons to fight for different map points. It would add the possibility of fighting enemy equipment that is too much for you.
But they will find a thousand and one reasons why this may have a bad effect on their profits and therefore do not need to add…
But giving bots realistic guns would only be good. I see no reason to not do that considering how easy it would be.
Let players spam meta guns but giving the bots realistic loadouts would bring atleast little bit of balance.
Also it would be helpful for those who want ha custom matches with bots
It better have some randomness in it, otherwise someone will soon draw a “special weapon map” and have players flocking to it
Personally I’m not in favor of map pickups, otherwise everyone always knows where X thing is. I say no in general
But I will say if you desire historical accuracy in the first place then I am advocate for BR being overhauled as such
Some people may want 201% historical accuracy. Me, it doesn’t have to be perfect. I know that since its a game yeah people are gonna do whatever and it will be pretty chaotic, I say that all that matters is at least chronologically everything lines up, ex no Volkssturm weapons in 1941 Moscow. For example, something made in 1941 certainly could end up in 1944, but not the other way around. In my view 75% accuracy is better than 35% accuracy
Agreed. Makes me cringe with how they ruined the early war maps with such a shitty little tech tree. The br system could’ve been more organized as far as weapon timeframes go.
So make bots even less useful? That will bring balance?
Okidoki…
I think that is possible through modding.
It wouldnt make bots less useful. Go and take a look for the current bot profiles. 80% of their guns are wierd mix of random bolties while rest are random smgs. You think bots would get worse if their armaguerra gets changed to gewehr 43? Or if their beretta 1918 gets changed to mp 40 and stg 44? Ok
Armaguerra is a BR 2 gun, it (and all other BR1-2 guns) should be replaced with high-ranking gear for bots in BR3-5 situations.
MP 40 performs worse in bot hands, they slap hard with 1918. STG would be better in high BR games.
