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.
They are still just bots and they are likely to get easily killed no matter what they use. Instead of giving the bots dumb weapons to make them better why not just make them shoot and aim better.
Exactly but unfortunately that is not the case and we see bots in normandy using armaguerras, berettas, caranos, mannlichers and other weird stuff. In low br the bots could use gewehr 41s and kar 98ks while in high br they could use gewehr 43s and kar 98k kriegsmodells. Im also fine with italian squads using armaguerras and berettas but i would prefer to see germans using german guns
A massive no.
Theres reason why certain weapons are in BR5 rather than in BR1-2.
But if there are only like 5-10 guns that anyone can use would it be that bad?
I feel it would just lead to people complaining the BR system is bugged again.
Yes, such guns regardless how limited or not doesnt bring anything of value to current game.
They would bring variety and new players could try some iconic guns like stg 44 and ppsh 41 in low tiers.
In theory maybe, in practice…experienced players will know where these are and pick them up. New players wont know they even exist.
To add on to this: I would much rather NPE just be overhauled in general. The game is in desperate need of a NPE system to be implemented. This game is very unfriendly to new players simply because it really doesn’t explain mechanics well enough in game.
Theres quite alot of variety of stuff to try out in US, ussr & german regular TT.
The thing is, BR1-2 is somewhat perfectly balanced currently, there aint automatic weapons that would completely overshadow the starter guns aka BA’s.
Thus guns such as ppsh / stg44 which are for reason in BR5 would only be harmful to low BR.
But considering how easy it is to die i dont think they would be too bad. Maybe someone could score couple more kills than normally but thats it. If they would be unbalanced then atleast add br 3 guns like ppsh 41 box and g41
This is kind of flawed logic imo, regardless quite many keeps saying it.
With this logic, we could remove BR’s entirely and make 1 big happy que for everyone.
Since it doesnt make any differency will you die to 122mm IS2 or 45mm T-50.
Doesnt matter will u get shot by Mp40 or FG42II.
And after all, these guns are at high BR due to theyr capability to take out alot of people.
Definitely cant squad wipe people with Mp28/38/40 like u can with PPsh41.
And as PPsh for example is at BR5, then ask moscow maps to BR5 I wouldnt mind more variety in BR5 would be fine.
If this is yet again some HA thing then customs is the place for it.
