Factions reinforced (Weapons and equipment)

This is a list of equipment that was used by each of the factions that was either removed, never added to the game, purchased in adequate enough quantities or lent leased. That would help fill gaps in with the Tech Trees. This also includes weapons trialed before the end of the war and pressed into the hands of soldiers before mass production.

Lee Medford rifle, BR II:
Lee-Metford_Mk_II

  • 5 round bolt action.

Anti tank:

These are not the only things that can be put on this list, but as this is taking hours to compile and put together looking at the research I will let some point come out with a part 2 to this.

Well might as well add a picture for MV31 its largely same as VMG 1927 except that it uses MG 13 mag here a picture

Well Lewis gun for USSR was premium so I don’t know about adding it in TT but there are tons of MGs that can fill BR 3 for USSR like K-P-315


This has 50 round mag also it is chambered for intermediate cartilage like RD-44
other wise we can add one of Federov MG
image

Its in 6.5 and has 50 round

Well we have a lot of option for semi-auto for Japan I wouldn’t want to get same weapon with little modification on TT anyhow since we are adding stuff to TT might better to change this to ZH-29 or ZH-32 with 10 round mag

But otherwise its a cool post thx for it I enjoyed it

The AS-44 model 5 is also a premium weapon. But they saw fit to add that to the tree. That’s the only reason why I said the Lewis gun. But both of those LMGs are great alternatives for BR III.

As for the ZH-29, they have the same weapon as the Germans within the editor tagged with ZH-29 JP for Japan The only difference is this has a five round magazine. ZH-32 would be nice though.

Its model 4 not 5, 4 is the premium one while 5 is the tech tree one but again I wouldnt mind having lewis gun in tech tree though there are domestic LMGs that could fit there

Probably they named type Otsu as ZH-29 JP in editor since its a direct copy of ZH-29 captured in china anyhow I think if Im not mistaken there was a variant of type Otsu with 10 round mag of course there is also Kijirō Nambu Prototype semi-auto

Here I found the chart
image
The second one is type Otsu and the carbine variant(1060mm) of it has 10 round

Add this to BR 2 so I can skip shitty madsen and get DP-27 box mag

Both the model 4 and the model 5 are premium squads. I have both.


Why they put it in the tree I’m not sure, because it’s already a premium squad. That’s the main reason I said they’d be capable of doing it with the Lewis gun.

The Madson really is garbage, That’s the whole reason I proposed another BR II LMG. They also could have brought back the breda mod 30. But I’d rather see a new item, especially because the Breda is also kind of garbage.

That would make a good possible weapon for Japan. Hopefully we can find something to get them above BR II snipers. Everybody else has a semi-auto they’re the only ones with bolt actions.

model 5 premium came after normal TT version

I remember that, but is it going to matter if it came before or after? I’m hoping it doesn’t.

it kinda does tho since soviet para can change weapon while everyone else cant otherwise the people who bought the lewis will basically get kick in the ball for buying a unique premium that later just become “soldier skin”

That’s fair. Is unfortunate as it is. But I’m sure another BR III could easily take its place.

Breda is shit, so skip to MG-13 box mag which is better than that. Only good thing about italian is just the smgs thats all. 40 round Beretta M1 with higher ROF is better than MP-40 with 32 round mag
