310 units were delivered to the Wehrmacht at the final stages of the war.
Pacific Allies : M3 carbine
It was first used in combat by Army units during the invasion of Okinawa, where about 150 M3 carbines were used.In total, about 20,000 sets were made before they became obsolete.
These active infrared weapon can detect IR signatures within about 100 meters, and maybe can see through the smoke?(idk,I’m not an expert). Soldiers equipped with them need to carry batteries for power supply, so backpacks cannot be equipped.And the squad may contain four or fewer snipers + one engineers. This makes them a maybe not powerful but definitely unique squad.
At this point the devs can’t say no to anything anymore if there was a prototype or existed in very small numbers it’s gonna be in the game because of the AS-44.
These would be useless as there are no night battles in enlisted, unless you want to blind yourself everytime you turn on the NV I dont see the point for these yet…
I think these things are more suitable to appear in the game than the AS-44, because they are not prototype guns, but actual weapons in field (M3 goes mass-produce after the field test and equipped during the Korean War.).And these unique weapon is perfect for event rewards.
And you know what? We will receive even more late-war AR at the next event.
Yes that is true but thanks to the stupid devs who couldn’t even bother to ask their community whether we wanted this Gun or not or for some ideas so now anything goes.
At this point they might add these ones and other prototypes, as said before, we already have especial weapons used by regular soldiers, AS-44, protos of STG, etc…
Id like to ask devs about these post war weapons curiosity in next Q&A session for sure cause im getting bad feeling about this, strangely none of these @Shiivex or other Alpha beings or so called community helpers are strangely not doing or saying anything against it … they be like : yeah we got these badges and stuff and you know what we dont really care about any kind of history anymore just let game make money from everything
Agree, but I think that Apha testers or community helpers are not there to complain about those historical fuckups or fantasies, they’re here just to help with bug reporting, player reporting and such…
Apparently they don’t , I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not attacking them at all, but their silence is sad. Dunno, at least with all these fantastic things.
They aren’t night vision scopes, in that they don’t enhance or multiply the amount of light. They are active infrared: meaning that they project an infrared beam using the large flashlight attached, and generate an image from the reflected ir light.
They are unaffected by other light sources outside of the ir spectrum, and should be able to see thru glare or smoke.
I think it would be a fun addition to the menagerie of weapons in the game, and a perfect choice for a limited event squad.
