Yep. The Fedorov was fine as it is. It gave an unique identity to late war Soviets. But the AS-44 has made it marginal at best. Especially if you look at the high octane competitive match-ups where dispersion, muzzle velocity, rate of fire and ease of use matters a lot.
You’d end up with a much less interesting game then. And it’s not inherently fantastical to have something that did exist but not adopted in your game. It would be more fantastical if, for example, you shoved in a modern, or even just an initial model, M16 with all its polymer and crap. I also have 10 times more of a problem with all the missing dry and non-dry only reload animations in the game than I do with prototypes, because those break the rules of logic of something presented right in front of me. Because that actually kills the suspension of disbelief, as in it’s almost impossible to explain away without including “magic” or something else supernatural.
It used to be in moscow, but because of the hyper historical autists it’s now locked to BR4-5 maps. And I dislike the role it has for a different reason than you, I think. It shouldn’t be an assault rifle, it should be in the same category as the BAR since its original intended role was that of a SAW.
NGL, I would love it if they made it more like war thunder, with mixed match making (at least as an option). With every major nation separated into their own tech tree.
To each their own, for me storming Reichstag with PPSh, PPS and DP-27 is infinitely more interesting than with AF, AS and RPD (all of which I refuse to use), and subsequently to be fighting against as a German defender.
Huh? It was also in Berlin since forever and I’m pretty sure no one who cares about history ever said it was okay to see it in Berlin, or see it as proto AK in Moscow either.
Once the actual WW2 content dries up, the money will still have to come from somewhere, so I’m almost sure we’ll see a lot of ARL-44 vs IS-3 in Japan BS again. That will be the final time to go for me.

Do you just leave all non-invasion matches and all invasion matches where the soviets defend in Berlin?
The fact that maps are BR locked is directly because of the historical accuracy hysteria, the AF and other weapons are just collateral damage. Just don’t BR lock maps FFS, it’s really boring to play anything but BR3 since it’s the only way to get the widest selection of maps, it’s like you’re being punished for progressing.
Strange how you tolerated all the historical inaccuracies up until the merge. Considering all the the prototypes and weapons for the wrong nationalities. If I was as obsessed with historical accuracy as you I would’ve uninstalled as soon as I saw that the PPT-27 was for sale.
No, it’s not outside of reason that within a big battle there could be 10v10 or 50v50 counter attacks by either side in any Battle.
Unless the Germans are coming ashore on D Day.
Or unless the game sends me with King Tiger and STG to Stalingrad - I quit that immediately indeed.
No, thanks.
We need to limit bullshit, not spread it to more insanity levels like Tiger 2 vs Pershing in Tunisia.
There was a feeling of about 80-20 tolerable proportion of proper stuff vs bullshit.
PPD-34 was only in Moscow, MP-3008 was only in Berlin, Crusader was only in Tunisia and Seagull was only in the Pacific.
Suspension of disbelief was mostly working for me.
I would love huge battles with parallel capture points with maybe even 100v100 players. (If you let the AI positioning and computing be client side then all you need is the positioning data).
I’m pretty sure that isn’t possible, I think it’s just the Germans pushing the Allies back to the water.
You can fix that by having a year variable to pieces of equipment instead. Meaning early war BR5 would be with AVS-36’s and PPD-34/38’s, for example. Instead of it just looking at my 1941 smg and prevents me from playing anywhere besides 1945.
And in stalingrad.
A copy of the Sten, meaning if the Germans decided to save materials earlier than IRL, they would probably have started producing it almost as soon as they had captured a Sten.
I think there should be unused/unadopted weapons under fictional alter-timeline scenarios. Pershing appearing in Pacific islands would be weird, but it roaming streets of Tokyo would be fun to watch.

Yeah, it’s funny ho Japan has so many of 44/45 equipment already when all current pacific maps are just 42/43 iirc.

Finally, someone who wants to have fun. Concerning vehicles I agree that at least ground vehicles shouldn’t appear on maps which the terrain would be antithetical to the design.
Lol, you’re still trying to shove historicity. From the moment they started adding mechanics and equipment characteristics from wt it became obvious that balancing historically is stupid, but already when the br system was introduced it became impossible.
By your logic the pz4J should ALWAYS play against the tech that rapes it, simply because it was produced later. Likewise with Volkssturm weapons and late designs with poor performance in favor of production cheapening.
It is by the same logic that the ppsh should fight against the mp 40 and the 98k against the avt 40 simply because HISTORY.

Thing is your definition of fun is not that of someone else.
What would change if Pz IV J joined Pz IV H at BR4? Tell me.
Nobody would miss VS weapons and if they appeared at late war maps they would make sense there.
If VS weapons were removed from tech tree altogether now, which one would a random Steam new player claim missing?
Do they not fight against each other now?
I literally never said that. Quote?
Every player has a Tiger.
Fg 42 2s for 9 men in the squad.
M2 carbines every American in the squad.
Let’s historically fight at a ratio of 15 to 3 on br 3-5 against exclusively people with krigsmodel, no tanks or airplanes.
HISTORICAL BEATING OF GERMANY.
If for you historicity is the introduction of exclusively warlike models - how will you balance the bazooka, the lack of weapons of the Americans, Japanese?
Locking the latter on 3br with arisakas?
Fine, but it’ll be a “tick box” faction.
You’re just trying to bring back a rudiment that gives ABSOLUTELY NO PERSPECTIVE for the emergence of a new audience, and moreover, it will only divide the old audience. And what was the point of merging campaigns then?
If you want historicality you can make a mod with bots and play historical battles against bots.

What are you on about?
I literally said about a thousand times that the problem I have is with fakes, fantasies and time travelling.
Now:
Maybe we should move pz 4H to br 3, because apparently in br 4 he’s ABSOLUTELY unneeded trash too?
Pps in Moscow, fnab in Moscow, mp 3008 is also in there in the technology branch.
If you take them on br 3-5, yes.
If you take them on br 1-3, you won’t encounter drum smg.
Literally the same thing
Fine, except it’s literally the same fantasy and I don’t see any difference if the weapons were produced in small batches or two pieces if everyone can be armed with them.
So this is purely YOUR preference for “fake and fantasy”.

That’s a non-answer.
I asked about VS.
Not VS, not VS, MP-3008 is not essentialsince you have FNAB and MP-40 on the same BR.
What?
PPS is BR2, MP-40 is BR2.
Please, don’t embarass yourself.
So non-answer again.
Please, don’t embarass yourself x2.
This is the answer, the tank is not suitable for br4, it needs to be lowered down, not promoted JUST FOR A YEAR to create another tank. Br is a measure of combat effectiveness, what is the effectiveness of the pz4J???.
The efficiency of one hamster trying to spin the turret of a tank???
43
Yes, and it came later than the Ppsh, but it’s worse than the Ppsh 41. What’s the problem? That’s why it’s on Br 1-3.
Please, Mr. “I SEE THIS HISTORICAL BALANCE AND I DETERMINE WHAT IS FANTASY AND WHAT IS NOT”, can you please stop embarrassing yourself???

My two cents:
I’m not opposed to BR5 for Japan, HOWEVER, I think they first need to completely revise the list and add some better equipment into BR4 first.
A small example is the engineer II squad with access to the basic MG nest. Americans can get it at BR2, yet Japanese don’t get it until BR4.
A large example of it is that tanks like the Jumbo sitting back are immune to anything the Japanese can throw at it other than aircraft bombs, and the Na-To, which isn’t even comparable as the sides and back are completely open, the front has hilariously low armor, and it doesn’t even have an MG.
Basically re-evaluate the effectiveness of their weapons against those of equal tier for the Americans, and add in more stuff that is more on par with their capabilities.

The question is:
I don’t see anything in your reply answering my question.
So, non-answer.
The question was:
VS!
What are you talking about even with FNAB and PPS?
So, non-answer.
What are you talking about?
The question was:
Wtf is the answer about BR 1-3 and 3-5? They are literally both BR 2.
So, non-answer.
You either start reading your own comments and start paying attention to the text or this will be my last reply to you, sir.
And? I think the game is fun as it is, a lot of room for improvement, but still. Making the game fun for you would mean removing the a huge part of the fun factor from me and people who agree with me. Meaning imho, your fun is less valid since it would require destruction as opposed to improvement and creation.
The luftwaffe sure is time traveling in berlin, why don’t you have a problem with that?
