Crud, slight issue with proposed Mkb 35/III — class change

Suggestions
1

Proposed change in patch notes: * Mkb 35/III — class changed from submachine gun to assault rifle.

I suggest keeping it available for pilots and tankers or better yet, add an smg for the axis that is not chambered in 9mm.

I kind of only got the Mkb 35/III because I could use it on my pilot and that it has a different ammo than 9mm so you have separate ammo pools for both primary and secondary guns. Although, after the merge, whenever that is, it shouldn’t be an issue with the trophy ppsh. It also looked cool. :confused:

I did always wonder why it was a smg when it clearly looks like a rifle, but then again the mp28 seems to be just as bulky.

Tankers and pilots aren’t assaulters. They have weapons mainly for self deffence.

So I don’t see why.

Mkb is minor loss, where’s my Luftwaffe drilling for the damn pilots :skull_and_crossbones:

Engineers really should have the ability to equip assault rifles, always loved that in Stalingrad.

Take assaulters. Their god damned purpose is to have smgs and ars.

Moscow is literally the worst campaign for that, you are stuck with 1 assaulter squad until lvl 26.
In campaign where you dont you dont even have SA rifles until lvl 21.
With moscow´s very small objectives bolties get old really quickly.

ARs are unlocked even later so I don’t get what is your point here?

True. But devs like their clusterfuck obejctives so we have to cope.

And it’s a real shame as it makes a lot of playstyles obsolete in favour of smg run&gun especially for f2p players.

yeah I know, I just meant that this is a generally bad tip for that campaign.

Though to be honest I do have 2 mkb42 and a mkb35/III from BP in Moscow, so personally I do own a few.

10

I also have the golden Mkb42W (?) in stalingrad and I run it on engineers.Though only because of devs’ idiotic decision to replace assaulter 1 with medics.

I oppose ARs for engineers as this basically creates an universal soldier.
And universal soldiers are BS and should be never allowed. They are the ultimate meta that will devour everything else.

You are acting like this weapon is better than all German smgs, lol.

But okay.

after the merge you can equip engineers with fg42s anyway, so what does AR change?

13

I don’t care about their performance. I hardly ever speak about ballance unless it really bothers me and affects my ability to and fun from using weapons (aka meta).

I mostly care about rules, consistency and sense.

14

I’m also against fg42s being avalable to everybody as this is a complete BS and somebody at darkflow clearly had a stroke when they decided it’s a good idea.

So this whataboutism doesn’t convince me.

15

they did that because the alternative would have been making the StG44 available to everyone, if FG42 and StG44 was only available to specific squads (Fallschirmjäger and PanzerGrenadier) than those would get spammed, if you can´t restrict it don´t fight it kind of mentality.

Cant blame the players either because why would you use only historically accurate squads when enemy players use meta, when friendly players also use meta and we didnt even mention any fantasy gun with fantasy performance.

16

And they had to give everybody an automatic weapon because… reasons?

There is literalry no need for this. It’s a BS df created for no reason, just because.

I can already hear somebody typing “but I like full auto”.
Assaulter squad can have 4 SMGs and an MG. 5 guys are enough to have a functional squad. Take 3 such squads and you have a full auto lineup.

It’s a complete unnecesarry nonsence.

Shameless plug:

It’s already the case.
So ppl would still spam the same squads and the same weapons but at least things will be consistent and would make sense and no universal soldiers. It’s a win in my books.

And this is kind of what I’ve been trying to fight with since for ever. I want to have fun but I get F-ed by guys runing meta so I also have to run meta to not be in a disadvantage.
But each time I try to break full auto meta ppl are bitching about walking simulator, camper game, BA bias and other BS.

Because only my way of playing is good and fuck everybody who wants something different.

I dont blame people for trying to get the most xp out of their time they can.

Im hoping that BR rating will make BA more enjoyable and historically accurate custom games with real xp yield would be an option for us HA enjoyers.
Stalingrad is my fav because of the lack of jack of all trade and fantasy guns.
I use G41, Mp717, Mp40, Mg42 and very few Mkb42. I love how each of my soldiers have different guns for different situations.

I don’t blame them either.

I blame devs that created a situation where you play meta or get shit exp and I blame players who defend this situation and (by pure coincidence) they tend to be players using meta.

I’d love to but each time I hoped for improvements in this matter, devs decided to go retard mode.
So I’m sceptical.

I’d say engineers are jack of all trades. Good guns + the best utility options.

I also like to play stalingrad as matches there tend to be more chill and ppl don’t spam auto weapons as much as in moscow. Thanks to this I can have some fun instead of fighting sweatlords with meta equipment.

I mean the same reason the soviets are using unreliable Automatic Rifle as standard infantry rifles, hell they ran out of 6.5mm Arisaka for Fedorovs but still using them anyeays
