I want to know what Forum thinks about what each nation lacks right now

I’m planning to do another “What each nation needs currently” and wanted to know what Forum thinks that each nation lacks so I can suggest stuff while I have some opinions it wouldn’t hurt to know your opinions as well. Also I would appreciate if you explain also why that nation needs that equipment aswell for instance

  • Western allies
    Lack AR
    They need it because …

Anyhow thanks in advance also dont try to fight

western allies:
rifle caliber SF
AT launcher with high pen
AT gun with decent pen (at least ~150mm to be on par with germans/soviets, preferably over 200mm for BR5 tanks)
japan
decent SA with 10(BR3) and 20 rounds (BR4)
AR (honestly dont know if this is possible)
AT launcher with high pen
AT gun with decent pen (at least ~150mm to be on par with germans/soviets, preferably over 200mm for BR5 tanks)

german and soviets are pretty much good all around. maybe better CAS loadouts for high BR? they should also get better AT guns (with over 200mm pen)

edit:
replaced AR from western allies for rifle caliber SF (i guess t20) cause m2 carbine is somewhat like AR currently…

USA:

  • better anti-tank weapon (captured panzerschreck maybe ?)
    (M9 bazooka is weak compared to other AT launchers)

Japan:

  • better paratroopers + better bomber plane
    (the worst paratroopers in entire game + bad bomber planes)

Germany:

  • some historical vehicles like StuG IV or Hetzer

USSR:

  • needs nothing :ok_hand:

well reading topic heading, first thing that came to mind
PLAYERS

yes there are more items that one can ask for
but for me after the STEAM release shitshow
i am still left asking, what are we going to do to get players, when it quite obv that we not getting mass of new players from steam anymore.
Think fixes for all people, with there issues with game should be addressed more often, than just asking for more stuff.

Edit:

They got me :stuck_out_tongue:

If memory serves, gaijin stated steam didn’t bring many new players to warthunder.
So if you believe the company propaganda, failed steam release of enlisted is not a big deal.

well cant say for WT, but for WoWS there are public records for both non steam and steam playerbase and IIRC steam release got it something like 5-10% extra players for first few months after steam release.

Reider automatic rifle
Hyde model 1944
Scoped M2 carbine
Superpershing (I know its WiP)

USSR:
Most historic gear is already in game, I would just add some lend-leased stuff.
M50 Reising
Sten
Thompson
Potentially Romanian and Polish equipment since Romania switched sides in 1944 and the Polish army in the east fought along side the red army.
Polish guns that are old German premiums
Late war Orita1941
Vz.26 LMG (used by Romania)

Japan:
“Purchased” Swiss guns
SiG KE7
SiG MKMO
Equipment purchased from other Axis countries like StG44 and Beretta38.

They need it for balance, because other nations have it (is my general reason, Im basically suggesting mirrored options here)

Germany:

BR 2 Semi Auto Anti Tank rifle (solothurn or Lahti-L39)
BR 5 100 Round MG (Mg-42 variant, just for iconic)
BR 5 Fighter (Fiat G.55 series 1: 3x20mm 2x50 cal and 2x 100kg bombs)


Allies:

BR 2 Sem Auto Anti Tank Rifle (Winchester William AT rifle 50 cal)
BR 3 Anti Tank Rifle Grenade launcher
BR 4 High Pen Bazooka
BR 5 Heavy Mortar
BR 5 Select Fire Rifle OR Assaulter Assault Rifle
BR 5 Heavy Tank (Super Pershing)

Engineer Higher Calibre AT gun


Soviets:

BR 2 MG
BR 2 5 round Semi Auto
BR 2 SMG (worse than PPS 42)
BR 5 Attacker (Tu-2)


Japan:

Lots of tanks and Attackers to fill out the tree. Lots of their Vehicles arent in their proper places.


Sub Nations:

Sub nations need alot of equipment, Not for balance, But for player enjoyment

Lots of italian/Commonwealth gear can be added for example.

Tech-tree AA tanks for the Soviets and Germany (maybe something Italian).

Germany in my mind only lacks a 100 round MG.

AT capabilities are awesome, however it is kinda weird that every normal unlock tank from BR1 up to BR3 only has 50mm of effective frontal armor.

Some vehicle with better armor at BR3 would be nice to have.

(STUG, Jagdpanzer IV, Hetzer)

  • Soviets lack a skilled playerbase.

  • Germans lack their own BR4 tech tree assault weapon, now they only have one Italian one.

  • US lacks everything AT related.

  • Japanese lack more interesting customization, like topless outfits, clothes made of mud and leaves, etc.
