Changes suggested after testing the update

Yes but it’s a 1942 prototype and thus could be hamfisted into Stalingrad if people are complaining about it

Imho, i am not that sure we will see mkb in Stalingrad after merge anyway.

Earlier we announced that engineers transferred from the “Battle of Stalingrad” campaign will retain their ability to use automatic weapons.

But as testing has shown, these engineers significantly hurt the balance. You have noticed it too.

We have decided to remove this privilege, which not only harms the balance between experienced players and newcomers, but is also difficult to explain within the game to those players who will meet an engineer with such a weapon in battle.

I almost forget about those premium squads and their engineers that can carry AR just fine. How is this balanced? How can you explain it to new players that they can’t carry those guns unless they pay real $$$. There are zero reason to removing those Stalingard engineers that can carry AR post merge (Mkb42, MP43/1, STG44, AS-44, Fedorov) if you keep those squads with 2nd best AR in the game (AS-44). You should either let all engineers to equip every AR (also for f2p players) or turn premium squads into normal squads that will behave as usual f2p squads with same restrictions (so no AR, smg, no MG for engineers)

Still surprised they havent given paint options for many premium tanks. I mean where the heck is my Hinterhalt tarnung for my StugIII G and my Jagdpanther?.. I’m tired of that high-lighting factory yellow paint.

[RobertS42]

I really don’t appreciate the limitation placed on squad types, and especially how the event squads are not being treated as premium squads. I would have less of a problem, but I still don’t really like it, if it was universal and applied to premiums as well.

[Veraldrisz]

Don’t forget the US M2 Carbine for Infantry, that thing is dominating alot.

Un cambio muy importante, realizado también en base a vuestros comentarios. Con la fusión de escuadrones de diferentes campañas en un solo país, habrá situaciones en las que algunos jugadores podrían usar muchos escuadrones de la misma clase simultáneamente (por ejemplo, cinco escuadrones de Flametrooper en EE. UU.). Usted señaló que esto es un problema importante, ya que los recién llegados alistados ya no tendrán esta opción.

Estamos de acuerdo con la idea de permitir sólo dos escuadrones de la misma especialización. Esta limitación se aplicará a todos los equipos actualizables y de eventos, la única excepción serán los equipos premium.

Por lo tanto, en el nuevo Enlisted, no podrás llevar a la batalla más de dos escuadrones de asaltante, dos escuadrones de Flametrooper, etc.

Alistarse será justo para los nuevos jugadores, mientras que en las batallas gracias a este sistema verás una mayor variedad de tipos de escuadrones.

If you want a variety of squads, limit them to one, you can still take three paratrooper or flametrooper squads (two normal and one premium).
I am sure that with this the medical squad will become more relevant, currently conspicuous by its absence.

[GiltBurrito7238]

I will just say we have discussed before about overhauling Premiums. Some have even said they should be treated like their regular squads, they just have a custom weapon for their class. For example, I could have one Assaulter Stg 45 and the other guys are rifleman and an Engineer with rifles or a Machine Gunner

[GeneralBrus]

I mean, considering that MKB and STGs are most likely gonna be on the somewhat same level as FGs - I dont even see the issue with either giving the Pioneers those weapons or not - it doesn’t change the overall power level of those units, but instead it simply restricts Pioneers ability to chose from all the meta weapons.

People are rightly complaining about this step - because it was promised to stay the same

but peope who complain that this needs to happen because of “balance” have zero idea about balance to begin with.

[Veraldrisz]

If they remove the MKB from the Engineer then they should remove the AVT-40 from Engineer as well from Stalingrad Squad and Berlin Engineer. Or just simply make in sort that Engineers can only use bolt-action for all Nations if they want to rebalance the game that bad. Lol Oh and from my experience with it, the AVT-40 is extremely powerful.

[GhostintheSmoke]

You helped make some great changes to the next update. Everything in the above post is a positive change.

Suggestion:

Would it be possible to consolidate and streamline squad and weapon upgrades system? The current system is tedious and will still be a hassle for all players to find which squads have what upgrades they need after the merge.

Also please remove +1 to reserve size from squads at the very least as that was from the legacy academy system.

[ur_grandfather]

I don’t like that we will only take no more than two Assaulter squads, at least three, and I hope new players can get three too. This will be fair and all of us will be happy

but your problem has an extremely easy solution: MONEY, BABY!!

I think it’s better that squads are limited. I only use one of a particular squad in my lineups so I have specific roles I chose. Maybe I’m Medic, AT, Rifle, or MG, Assault, Sniper, and so on and so fourth. Plus it spices gameplay because I have different jobs to do.

I find too many people are stuck in their heads that dey mus only uuuz Assaulters.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with Assaulters, just that people think they are the end all be all of gameplay

[ShiftyOrange1]

@ChuchaDrucha

We agree with the idea of allowing only two squads of the same specialization. This limitation will apply to all upgradeable and event squads, the only exception will be premium squads.

Event squads being limited is very frustrating, and should be exempt from the two squads per class limitation. We have been given so many event squads (mainly assaulters) across various campaigns, and now if we want to use two of them in conjunction with each other we have to forfeit our other upgradeable squads to do so. This problem will only increase as more and more event squads are added to the game. My freedom to choose what event squads I want to field is being impeded and this change should be seriously reconsidered.

“Meta” ruined gaming for this generation I swear

@ChuchaDrucha

We have decided to remove this privilege,

[jkjkrandom]

I would like to be able to take 3 assaulter squads but I get with the other squad types, + other than assaulters and snipers in some campaigns is not like you could take more than 2 squads of any other type currently

[ZebulonBVance]

Maybe I’m bad at this game but I never knew Assaulters were so coveted and prized in so many players’ loadouts. I don’t see the big deal.

@ThetigerII

assault rifle’ with the M2C which their engineers can use, yet the devs see no issue in that?

Germany still retains the ability to use FG42s on every soldier (engineers included) plus they could use the FG42 II after the merge as well.
