How come the assault squad in Moscow campaign is locked to a single head wear option? As far as I am aware, the forge cap was everyday wear summer issue, while in the colder months soldiers would be issued an ushanka, or even a budonavka.
Heres a photo of NKVD recon training team Moscow 1942/ 1943 - note
If we are not getting SS, and OST front units due to censorship then yes it only fair to remove NKVD and rename into tank riders/desant, which makes sense for them to carry SMGs, or even heavy infantry.
Atleast those uniforms don’t stand out much unlike the current Soviet Moscow assaulters we have. Atleast in Berlin, the Soviet assaulters can wear the same helmet as the other squads despite uniforms are different but still look similar in color to the others.
Germans didnt kill our countymen, my relatives from further back, which we still visit their graves BTW. The NKVD did and playing as them is uncomfortable kind of personally.
I would prefer if they made assaulters have guards uniforms like mortar squad
Hey you know what, if you don’t like them, play the Axis and you can shoot them. that is a win-win right? This is just a game, we requesting a costume or realistic portrayal (as long as it is not breaking the law) for more immersion. It does not mean we endorse the political view. There are too many virtue signalings around already.
For more immersion, I don’t mind seeing the Swastika flag and symbol but I guess DF has to follow the law of EU, US and Eastern europe.
You would have no game. Period, ever. Every squad type in every faction of every war game unless it’s made up like Halo, has killed Relatives and thousands of countrymen for everyone who’s nation had skin in WWII, friend. You’re going to have to get a thicker skin. I’m mostly German, the red army killed among other things a great many of my countrymen. Doesn’t bother me to play as the red army and to roleplay a red army soldier during airsoft and so on.
War is hell.
As for the original topic, absolutely! It should be by default, actually.
I suppose the typical Soviet soldier wasn’t a killer? What do you think they did out there? Give the Germans hugs and danced davochka?
By the same token, I don’t think that introducing SS or Gestapo would be a problem either. It’s all about realism and immersion. This is a game about a historical war using real squads. For example, the assaulter group, the “930th” actually existed in the Battle of Moscow. In Berlin, the “756th” were the squad credited with raising the flag over the reichtag (although there seems to be some historical confusion over who actually raised the flag. But that for another time).
This aside, you talk like you yourself were there facing off against the NKVD or something, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say you weren’t. Loosen up some, and enjoy the game.
This. This right here.
This is the whole reason why I flipped the bird to Battlefield and EA games and why I am here.
Don’t turn my Enlisted into a “PC, Safe for everyone” game like EA has done to Battlefailed.
