Idea to be able to change iconic assaulter guns or lmg’s into weapons available for riflemen at the cost of rather additional silver or a separate token type that allows such an action, but said weapon would be uptiered to br5.
Available weapons to switch classes with
US:
Johnson lmg
Bar A2
M21/28
Germany:
Mp717(r)
Mp41(r)
Mp43/1
Stg44
Russia:
Ppsh41
Ppsh41(box)
M21/28
Japan:
Type 96
Type 99
i agree with moving lmgs to rifle at br5, but why would riflemen have smgs that are pistol caliber and not carbine or rifle caliber, intermediate caliber like assault rifles.
Based, but
I say weapons like the ppsh41 because of the fact there was companies in each Russian regiment around using it, starting in operation bagration.
Germans had the sturmzug squads who were mainly using Stg’s.
US:
Johnson lmg
Bar A2
yes, yes
M21/28
no
Germany:
Mp717(r)
Mp41(r)
Mp43/1
no, no. no
Stg44
yes
Russia:
Ppsh41
Ppsh41(box)
M21/28
no, no, no
Japan:
Type 96
Type 99
yes, yes
I can still understand expanding the population of BR3 weapons when moving them to BR5, I think this is a very cool idea, but why did the BR5 assault weapon deserve to expand its population and why only for Germany?
You can use a squad of assault engineers and arm them with Stg.
ok what does that have to do with giving riflemen smgs again they are pistol caliber. pistol caliber are shorter in length and range then intermediate, rifle and carbine.
In retrospect I’m iffy on the m21/28. Besides that when it comes to smg’s, guns like the ppSh saw a dramatic amount of use in urban combat during bagration. Especially when there was smg companies dedicated to using such guns with the jobs those squads were given.
I would gladly arm a squad of BR5 engineers with the Type 100 smg.
there asking to move lmgs ars and smgs to riflemen not assaulters which is worse, or would be if it was not br5. ars and lmgs make sense but not smgs.
Yes, I already understood that this topic is not about balance, but about the cult status of weapons.
Understandable, though it seems off, i’d prefer to give it a try. And as crazy as it sounds, I have more fun using the box ppSh than I do with an avt. Both guns are nice guns to have though
BR3 smg is a hundred times better than BR5 AR? Or what?
Based. How I dream of this. By the way, what do you think about the idea of using the AVS as a BR2 machine gun? (May have some changes in characteristics)
Didn’t say that, all I’m saying is I’d like to have the choice to kit out a 9 man squad out with box pp’s just like how it was in the end of the war.
riflemen use rifle caliber bullets like those in rifles and mgs, or intermediate rounds and carbine rounds like in the M1 carbine shorter that full rifle rounds like the M1 rifle. all of these are longer than rounds in pistols and smgs. using lmgs like the bar makes sense at they are browning automatic rifles. ars kind of if limited to br5 but smgs have small bullets and a high rate of fire with many cases high capacity magazine.
I can get how some people would suggest a strong imbalance in that, however adding the shot dispersion, movement factor and ads speed of an lmg to its stats upon the class change should do the trick.
I can even suggest an idea on how to implement a change of weapon class. I don’t think that the developers will want to waste their efforts on the functionality of changing the parameters of existing entities. It will be much easier for them to implement the exchange of one entity for another. (as it once was with soldiers in the academy)
This can be implemented using the “weapons academy”. Places where you can exchange the entity “BR3smg/mg” for the entity “BR5 specialist weapon”.
