Gewehr 43 Variants

These are two variants of the Gewehr 43 that should be added. They could be research tree, premium/ event squads, or just special content

It had a single copy produced so we can add it to the TT. Oh wait it’s not a Soviet/Japanese/American gun so no we can’t. The best we can offer is 4 GO copies - DF

I could be wrong but I think the old Moscow premium sniper squad is the Gewehr 41M

I think they should add the Gewehr 41W sniper to the research tree as a BR 3 sniper

See that is the kind of thing BR V riflemen should be using (but not auto)

what are you smoking i hate weeboo persecution complex, japan has been ignored
for a long time us suffered under high br without a good smg, sf rifle and tank loosing to german cats
the only favored child is the ussr sorry that germany got most of its toys early including
tiger, tiger 2, panter, stg44, 2 select fire rifle, good mgs at ever br

It has nothing to do with a “complex” - or can you show me some spicy fantasy TT weapons or even weapons from other nations (except Italy or other axis allies) in the axis TT to “catch” up?

Axis captured PPSh or PPS? No.
Some axis captured T-34? No.
SVT-38 or SVT-40? No.

As I said. Special treatment.

I cant remember HOW often I mentioned Japan and that they need good new stuff first but okay.

WHAT SPECIAL TREATMENT

1 Like

Panzerfaust 60 and 100 for USSR
RPzB43 for US
Several 100rd machine guns waaaaaaaaay before axis (a machine gun nation) got one.
High end event stuff: T34-100, Stinger, …
Fantasy weapons in the TT that should have been event weapons: AS-44, M1944, T-20, Super Pershing (yes, I know that US need a better tank, but I guess there are other options).

Meanwhile axis players became ebola and diarrhea when facing PPSh41 with MP38/40 back when we had campaigns. No one cared :man_shrugging:

I ask again: Where is the axis PPSh41, PPS, SVT-38/40?

one like what other options, two germany was front loaded
five different assault rifles
3 sf rifle
some of the best mgs in the game
tiger 1 tiger 2 panther
multiple at rockets
high capacity italian smgs

the problem is simple germany by fighting us and ussr in multiple fronts had a lot of gear
a lot of good gear
and donnt lump the us in with the ussr
most us machine guns are limited to 20 to 30 round
while most german guns get 50 to 75 rounds
us smgs are just as bad as germans outside the thompson 50 which has to deal with german ars
until the t20 the us had only the m2 which was more a ar then a sf
us at rockets were limited to 2 which are inferior to german

so yes russia is the favored child but for years now the us has ben germanies punching bag

ussr punched down on germany, germany punches down on the us, us punches down on japan

dont forget until the pershing and super pershing the us had not a good tank over br 3, weak armor and weaker guns outside the 76

so blame the game for giving germany all the good toys up front,

outside the t20 and stinger and pershings what is so great about the us line up

Sherman Firefly NOT as premium. The 17pdr with special ammo can pen a Tiger 2 frontally. Here I totally blame the game and the developers.

MKb42H (BR4) and StG44 (BR5) should be the only available assault rifles for axis. The rest (MP43/1) and the GO MKb42W with respective options for scopes should be event or GO. I never blamed the comunity for this problem, I always blamed the developers.

Sorry, but those weapons are what axis are known for. They lack in smg’s and the balance is fair enough, but not when the one nation gets “special captured” ones to catch up and the other nation not.

Many axis machine guns also only got 20-25 rds. 50 (or 75) is way later with worse accuracy/dispersion.

No match for a pilot with rocket spam.

Still way inferior to the PPSh41 stick/drum.

PLANES, the Sten and Lanchester are great, the M1 too and the Bazooka is the better low-BR-rocket-launcher.
Until BR3/4, US is great and capable. BR5 is a sweat fest and I absolutely dont care about this BR because I boycot it since the merge and the addition of fantasy guns.

My last point: Only because axis has many weapons, it does not mean that they all a bad ass and great. The struggle (grind) is real…

which has armor that german tanks from almost every br can pierce

The Sten and Lanchester are great, the M1 too and the Bazooka is the better low-BR-rocket-launcher.

lets see what is missing br 1 2 4 5 rifles, all machine guns, br 2 4 5 smgs
no at weapons for you know br 3 4 5 any heavy tanks

No match for a pilot with rocket spam.
if 95 percent of enlisted could fly that would be fine

Many axis machine guns also only got 20-25 rds. 50 (or 75) is way later with worse accuracy/dispersion.

germany has the mg34 mg 42at br 3 4
what does the us have the bar and johnson

i am sorry but at best german smgs to american is a toss up to what you like

us rifles are mostly bolt action before br 5 outside the m1c m1 and johnson which only the m1c a carbine is magazine fed

sorry but Germany is not on the bottom or the top
it has the best machine guns, best at rockets
equal smgs than the us better rifles outside the m1 and t20 which is crazy new
better snipers outside the m1 sniper, which the us still does not have a sniper sf
the us still has no ar’s

so yeah if you want to complain that russia is treated unfairly go ahead i agree
but before the stinger a limited weapon, the t20 and pershing the us had garbage only outdone in bad weapons by japan

germany being know for at rocket, at rockets are the only effective br 2-5 at weapons for infantry at range

and no planes are not effective if most players cannot use them

The Axis has PPSh. Both in TT and as an event weapon.

Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim (5 February 1840 – 24 November 1916) was an American-born British inventor best known as the creator of the first automatic machine gun , the Maxim gun

John Moses Browning (January 23, 1855) – November 26, 1926) was an American firearm designer who developed many varieties of military and civilian firearms, cartridges, and gun mechanisms, many of which are still in use around the world

I think you got it wrong.

The question was HOW the US can destroy heavy axis tanks. There is your answer.
No one asked for best armor.

The BAR is one of the finest because you can sprint and the accuracy is better compared to axis machine guns. Every time I can pick up a BAR I am happy.

Player base problem, no fault from the developers. Same goes to axis tanks: A noob will show the flanks of his King Tiger to the enemy → no match for Bazooka.

As I said - depending on playstyle the BAR is better. Sure the US could get the BAR with 40rd mag and it would be fair.

Absolutely no. Good ones, but not best.

Doesnt matter since every nation can get “copy paste captured weapons”

When the nation historically NEVER used assault rifles in WW2, why the heck should DF open up the “fantasy box”? Every nation has weaknesses and strengths.
Axis still has no rocket spam CAS as example.

L2P issue. Tanks are not effective if most players cant use them.

As EVENT weapon. The MP717(r) was in the TT but got removed. And fun fact: It had less rof then the PPSh41 (funny, eh?). I dont own a single one because I never played the stalingrad campaign back then and all new players never will get one. Sure I have 6 MP41(r) event weapons, but who else does?
So: No, there is no PPSh or other fancy captured weapon in the TT.

I know who invented the machine gun.
I mean that axis was the nation that first developed modern era (multi purpose) machine guns as standard way back in the early 30s when most of other nations still used WW1 equipment. The MG34 was far ahead of its time.
Axis used them throughout the war and many military tactics are based on the core machine gun. Thats what I mean with “machine gun nation”.
