I am wondering besides the regular tech-tree why germany´s premium squads seems much weaker than allies/russia i appreciate you to share your same/different impressions to me
German premium squads i consider weaker than its equivalents (just a starting overview)
Germanys Paratroopers got downgraded FG 42 (while russian even and USA upgraded one)
MG 42 early = compared to DP 100 or Fedorov
88-Flak (not working HE-TF and lesser pen than BR IV Tiger) = compared to KV 2 massdestructor
German premium with lesser STG (45M) = compared to AS 44-4 with same stats like AS 44-5
Walther A115 with identic stats to G41W (BR III) = compared to SVD30 (with scope in BR II)
Panzerwerfer (BR IV) = compared to Calliope (BR IV)
Premium-Halftracks of other factions = compared to LVT4 with unike mechanic and heavy armed
But also there are a few german premium units i consider bether:
German flametank is faster and got bether flame mechanics in my eyes
Italian Moschetto M91 rules against Mosin M44L
Well we could talk about Suomi (best german SMG compareable to Allied/Russian tehc-tree weapons but with only 5 man) and Gerät 03 (semi-auto BR V) but i dont consider this worthy to buy
Don’t forget about a Kiraly 43M which is pretty much a BR3 PPSh-41 box but at suicidal BR5 (it needs to go down to BR3). And a crappy STG45 which should be a BR4 weapon.
MP18 is for some reason at BR2 even tho it’s worse than most smgs at BR1.
Only Flamethrower, Jagdpanther, MG 42 Early and wz 1928 are good premiums, however MG42 should get larger magazines even if they bring it to BR5 it wouldn’t matter BR4 doesn’t exist anyway.
I like Lebel 1886 however it has one of the slowest rof and reload of all bolt rifles.
DF really hates Germany and it’s a fact.
MG45 slaps cheeks though, it’s a laser that just needs a bit of trigger discipline.
Easly my favourite MG, how could beltfed DP compete with dispersion so high it feels like playing x-com with random chances of actually hittin anything.
But as Joe said, those prices are not worth it, i was just fortunate enough to win some gold
I myselfe buy mainly in 50% discount, and compared to the hours of gaming i get for free in high quality i feel fine to pay the devs something back (even some bonus fun though)
I hope its dispersion will be improved as well. I’m lazy to check stats, but in my experience it’s an extremely inaccurate weapon. To the point when it’s really annoying.
as new BR4 SMG, it’s not like DF even wants to add Frenchies as new faction anyway. Stats don’t look impressive but they could give it lowest recoil of all Axis smgs (like Type 2/Type 2 smg for Japan)
Unfortunally my stormpioneers loose worth wheb playing g43, i vote for mkb down or even the lesser worthy stg 45 (m) its only use right now would be BR IV since its worthless in BR V
