You’ve got to be trolling, The amount of equipment’s fine. In fact some factions have a severe lack of equipment. In the case of the Germans they need to have a lot of their equipment folder together. Everyone keeps complaining about how the grind for the Germans is so long This would effectively solve it. On top of that they’re looking at how they can reduce the grind not just for the Germans but for the entire game as a whole, not much information is known about it yet but it was recently reported by James that they were looking at that along with silver increase and silver rebalance for equipment costs.
even semi autos are too numerous outside the US army no army was able to produce enough for all soldiers to have there bolt actions replaced by semi autos
common weapons, bolt rifles, SMGS, pistols, Grenade, mortars
so what am i trying to say, it is easy to hate prototype but don’t call it historical accuracy call it WW2 game accuracy
if you want to limit prototypes you have to limit every weapon that is already to plentiful
The game doesn’t need to “remove” anything. Actually, I hate the idea of removing things (this goes for GO and Premiums too) … better to fix the core issue … Variants. Variants should be foddered with each other and not require research to proceed in the tech tree. We have a lot of folders that aren’t variants.
I would also say that Variants could even have different Battle Ratings beyond just the Tier. Could make it so variants don’t count for tier progress.
As for progressing to high tier quickly: all you have to do is make it so each tier only needs completion of prior tier without any other prerequisites and that would help a lot in that regard (ie don’t need all the tier 2 smg’s to start training tier 3 smgs … just need X/Y Tier 2 completed.
