Changes suggested after testing the update

How do you explain to newbies the disappearance of the Soviet Thompson and the German mp717 after integration? That too is strong. In fact, it might have been better to continue to exist.

Everyone thinks that the Stalingrad engineer limit will balance things out.

But I think it could actually ruin the balance.

No one seems to be talking about assault troops running wild with STGs or machine gunners flying around and slaughtering people.

Additionally, this issue will severely disrupt Germany’s balance. The Soviet Union actually has no hit since the AVT is for all infantry. However, after integration, mkb can only be used by assault troops. Therefore, it can be said that the firepower of the engineer unit is severely reduced.

those are some huge

→ complains about soviets getting avts for all infantry
→ complains about germans not getting mkbs for all infantry
→ cries for balance

→ still somehow lefts out fgs being available for all infantry…

how much gold exactly they refuse to tell us

dunno.

gotta wait for the actual refund once the merge goes live.

but according to the prices, it’s about 15/20 euros worth of gold ( which you can then purchase back ) those said slots.

admitting that those won’t change.

but it has been definitely hinted and explained in the merge test thread.

So not enough to buy the 3 slots for USSR and Germany we were told. Got it.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

@Nightangel_99

These are all available F2P

nope.

those are not,

won’t be after the merge*

Won’t be after the merge, but are currently

@Elkaless

you do realize that allowing premium squads to repeat rotation and f2p/events not do it is an extremely obvious P2W mechanic, and the price for a game population when hard p2w is introduced, i hope, and valued that against the supposed influx of new players?

Nah better buy AS-44 and Drum Tommy para Squad right now.- Dark Flow 27.10.23

i forgot to specify, per side.

yes.

which. if you got them, nice.

if not, well… it somewhat sucks.

FINALLY a decent critique and not more Stalingrad sweat lords whining. I salute you. Also, I kinda agree. I think the answer is to give the Premium squads extra slots in your rotation and not allow event squads to do that. Although, bro, three Paratrooper squads or three flamer squads could be … really bad.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

if you bought stalingrad pack for others reasons not mentioned that’s… kinda on you.
they didn’t forced you. or me.

Just Lame excuse for not having any good argument why its right to steal things the player bought.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

especially since many of the primary bonus were included. and you keep all the stuff that you used / bought / play with.

2+2=3 logic

@ErikaKalkbrenner

crying for getting nothing in return it’s one thing.

" crying " for wanting more despite having got most of it’s perk it’s definitely another.

Sorry that I´m not sheep who has his own opinion and do not eat every shit…

@ErikaKalkbrenner

Don’t bother bro. They are derailing this thread. We need to focus on other feedback like Balance questions (what weapon will be what BR?) Uniforms. Well that is what I care about anyway and useful critique.

[Dregomz]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

→ still somehow lefts out fgs being available for all infantry…

It’s always set to semi you have to set it manually to auto so it’s already less powerful than AVT-40 especially with bots, plus Mkb42 is nowhere near as powerful as both AVT-40 and FG42 II so why not let them keep carrying it?

I think you forget about murrican M2 Carbine how convenient that can be equipped not only as engineers but everyone. How is this balanced?

[Myrm1don]

Bravo, good changed all round

My stalingrad engineers would be sad about losing mkbs…except now they have bredas. All good

[Conscript_Joe]

Ok, reading all of this, I’m kinda impressed:

Looking at how many ppl are upset about the squad “limits”…

There’s THAT many toxic grunts who only spammed assaulters and nothing else? That many?

I’m glad it’s happening.

[VoyoMayPL]

Apparently they used so diverse loadout that they can’t stand an anti spam mechanic.

[Conte_Baracca]

Quit derailing the thread please. DF isn’t going to change this. I will remind you that if every player who bought a Stalingrad pack quit and never came back this is still a smart decision on DF’s part for the long term health of the game.

You are wasting everyone’s time whining like a petulant child.

@Dregomz

That’s the problem of Gaijin’s greed pixels shouldn’t cost as much as they want us to pay, every premium should cost max $15 each. They took and going to remove 80% of the Full Access content (which also they promised to be there forever to keep) so they should give us something as a compensation or you know refund me to my bank account 80% of that $30 i have paid.

Lol that is now how thing works. First of all overpriced squad is a different problem. You should use the current squad price, not the price you think that is suitable.

You will just be simply ignore by dev when you give such unrealistic request.

@Conscript_Joe

This is why a good developer only takes their forums with a grain of salt. It’s full of sweatlords and whiners.

These changes are smart for the long term health of the game. Honestly, if you are actually good at the game you want the challenge of fighting through a properly balanced game.

[Andruven]

It isn’t about spamming meta squads. I would like to use my shotgun squad. I would like to have my choice of event squads. I don’t want to have to take only the meta. I want options.

[orizin2]

Personally, I enjoyed playing Germany more.

It’s not just Germany that plays. The Soviet Union also plays. When I play as the Soviet Union, my win rate is much higher. The same goes for kill difficulty. Tanks in particular are a disaster. But that’s not all. AVT is very good. It delivers performance that cannot be compared to mkb. Germany barely managed to win with the MKB combination of assault troops and engineers. Even though the tank is better than before, a KV remains a KV. It is still possible for the Soviet Union to crush the battlefield with ppsh and avt.

That’s it.

@Ersgon_LxCZ

Just Lame excuse for not having any good argument why its right to steal things the player bought.

not entirely.

as much i’m on the same board for not always getting what was promised ( which, it is horrible. )

but within the optimal boundaries, i think it’s not that bad.

as again, the worth of items you got and the ammount of time it saved you the grind to have those said weapons and vehicles was actually well worthed for the entirety of it’s price.

unlike… some half baked prem squad with one tank and barely an innovative camouflage.

you are of course, entitled to your opinion.

but let’s not devaluate the properties of things just because you already had them or don’t evalue them enough for what they are actually worthed.

@Ersgon_LxCZ

2+2=3 logic

or maybe… you don’t see logic.

@Ersgon_LxCZ

Sorry that I´m not sheep who has his own opinion and do not eat every shit…

ah i see.

why didn’t you asked for getting everything unlocked already?

plus all 10 slots there?

what did stopped you?

but on a serious note.

you’re now telling me that the entirety of what you bought in stalingrad should cover more then what it was?
and claiming that it’s actually more logical?

you might not eat shit… but you sure are full of it…

[Elkaless]

my personal complain is not about limiting or not, i couldnt care less, never actually had enough soldiers of any class to fill 3 squads of the same…as long as it is fair and to everyone. by paying money, you circunvent an implemented limitation applied to the people that dont pay money. is the pure definition of P2W, with no strings attached.

does someone really can argue p2w/not p2w here? isnt it extremely obvious?

[ForlorN]

Yeah, people are incredibly individualistic and refuse to agree upon what’s in the best interests of the game.
FFS, do people want a game that isn’t nice, honest, and understandable for all new players?

Everyone in here should know by now that the merge is a complex operation, it will not be 1:1 perfect.
But to demand beneficiaries and exemptions that give an advantage over new players is so damn stupid.

These restrictions are more than welcome because they’re necessary.
This game’s future is more than the veterans in here crying about their stupid Stalingrad engineers, they wanted to show off with and dunk on players that weren’t around back then.

Ofc I understand that every one of us options to compose the strongest possible squad line-up is limited now. And I also loved my Stalingrad engineers. But please don’t forget the whole picture here.

[Ersgon_LxCZ]

Bro, I writing things/my opinion about what was announce in this newsletter if you have problem with it just simply skip and don’t write here something about who has right or not to express here…

You selfish communist…
