You start with a weapon that everyone marks as useless.
But it doesn’t have absurd recoil like other weapons and kills with a single shot.
Then they give you another one exactly the same but with a different name.
And the same thing again.
Now let’s go to the disproportionate imbalance that this campaign has towards the Soviet side.
These are the statistics of a lvl 29 tank on the axle side.
Now let’s look at the tank that, no matter how many times you give it 300 shots, it doesn’t explode, but it can explode you with one shot.
The immortal t50 of the Soviets. Now, I have encountered the same situation with b7… Let’s look at the defenses of this tank.
Does it make any sense?
Now let’s look at the t50’s weapons.
Let’s compare with the panzer III J of the 29th axis level.
Anyway, this game is more concerned with deleting forums of people who claim or tell them the truth than with fixing its game.

Progression in terms of rifles made sense before the bolt action buff and specially in moscow because you take quite a while to unlock them, once unlocked on pre BA buff times it was a huge boost to your squad firepower, now is meh using most semi autos of the game except the specially good one (usually the select fire).
About the tank thing, well, look at those stats, them look at the angle of their armor and you will see why the T-34 can survive you mindlessly shooting it’s upper front plate like you are used to do in other campaigns with Tigers and Panthers (germany player syndrom, upper front plate shooter).
The T-50? that tank you can HE it’s upper fornt plate and kill it with the tank you unlock on the axis side on the same level? The tank that any other tank on the german side can pen the turret?
Well, last of all, if you are having your posts deleted you are probably saying shit you shouldn’t say, this is a public forum not your “fans of the german uniforms and equipment but totaly not their views” discord server.

I think they need to slow down reloads and bolting times to give them room to create more variation between weapons; and force more tactical gameplay choices other than charge forward spraying full auto, then dance around for two seconds and repeat.

The posts that have been deleted have been done because some mod must have caught fire because it didn’t break any rules.
Regarding the other thing, you say that you can destroy a T50 with the tank of the same level, but the Panzer lll j of lvl 29 has better cannon and defenses, it still doesn’t win.
They should remove the absurd knockback that nerfs higher level weapons to force you to play something else. The lvl 27 weapons on the German side have so much recoil that when firing you see absolutely nothing. And in the end even at close range you don’t hit anything.
That was my mistake, i mistook it for the Pz. IVe, level 22, it’s short barreled HE can one shot the T-50 on the upper front plate, it can’t be easier than that.
No part of the front of the t50 marks the sight in green, and many times even in green you don’t do anything to it.
FG, Tigers and 500 kilo bombs on everything including biplanes in Moscow wouldn’t stop this, i bet.
Balance is really inappropriate towards soviets. All soviet guns and weaponry except T-60 and several useless prototypes that are only achieved with golden tickets are prewar ones, while germans have a bunch of weapons from the future.
Weapons of the future? The only decent weapon that the axis side has is the mp 40 and the beretta.
I play both armies in Moscow, and the Soviets have a much better chance of winning, because they have better equipment. The ppdh 34/38 is super broken.

Thats the reason why germans exclusively spam STG, Kirali, MG34 and MG42

HE will never show green, but shoot it and the crew is gone, last time I checked even the ammo exploded with the HE shot from the short barreled PZ. 4.

With anti-infantry ammunition? Lmao I’ll try it.
Although more than once I did it just to change ammunition and I never killed anyone other than those who surrounded the tank.
I play a lot on the side of the axis in Moscow, and those who use that weapon are counted on their hands.
You don’t “start” with k98 in Moscow… you start with some Czech surplus carbine (forgot the name) which is veeeery inaccurate without being max stars.
Regular k98 is a big improvement over it (even if it’s starter in Normandy & Stalingrad). Pre war one offers a tiny bit better cycle speed, but unnecessary.
Czech RIFLE, though, might be the best axis rifle in the game, if you don’t count the magazine Volks one from Berlin (and sexy mannlickerz)
For Soviets, the scenario is pretty identical. Mosin carbine (I actually like this one), then iconic Mosin rifle, then dragoon rifle which is barely an upgrade, then very Chad Winchester.
Bolties are nice in Moscow, both factions.
As for forum deleting without explanation, yeah it’s a problem due to one individual that interprets rules in a strange personal way, but it’s thankfully not at all related to game development, so be reassured on that at least.

I don’t interpret the rules, the mods take it personally. Otherwise they would have already banned me.
mm lets see
Which is countered by ww1 era automatic rifle that functions like modern assault rifle with OHK capability.
Or if you mean actual STG in berlin its countered by AS-44 if I recall.
which is countered by PPSh which conveniently unlocks by far earlier than kiraly.
Dont really see a single reason outside of build-able HMG to use lmg’s in current state.
But anyway, il grant that both are arguably better than what soviets wields.
So from your list the functioning meta weapons are better in soviet camp and the not so usable broken LMG’s are better in german camp.

You didn’t understand what I’ve said.
All soviet weapons in 1941, except for machineguns and planes ought to be better.
Speaking of STG - it was added to counter PPSh. Only after this your WW1 era gun was added. Anyway, it fits 1941 times better than STG because it ALREADY EXISTED in 1941.
Kirali is some non-existant small series localized crap that is laughable to appear in arms of every next soldier.
PPSh should be countered by MP40 and MG34 and nothing else. And it should work vice versa in late war, where PPSh should face STG without addition of AS-44 and other nonsense weapons. But until germans dont fight with MP40 and tanks from the future (having total domination against soviet planes, that are not balanced at all) in Moscow one should never whine about AS-44 in Berlin, as its literally the same story.
