Just one event paratrooper squad can save the Tunisia Axis.(And the attention from the community, of course)
So when will it be the turn of the Allies in Berlin? According to my experience, the Allies in Berlin were at a disadvantage most of the time (although not as exaggerated as in Tunisia, and sometimes the Soviets would have experienced players and dominate the battlefield), but I believe that the Allied win rate was statistically lower than axis.
I think one of the big reasons is because Soviet weapons were inferior to their competitors in various aspects (with the possible exception of the Fedrov), such as:
FG42-2 >> AVT-40
Sniper Stg >> Sniper AVS (Urban Warfare)
Panther >> T34 (possibly controversial)
Tiger >> IS-1
KT >> IS-2
Maybe the German products did outperform the Soviets, but the Soviets were still able to win back with numbers, and unfortunately, this game has no concept of numerical advantage or cost. So under fair conditions high BR Germany will always outperform the USSR
Therefore, I very much hope that they will also give the Soviet Union some event stuff, paratroopers, vehicles or whatever they think of, just to make up for the Soviet Union’s disadvantages
If two gold order/ event guns and a mediocre parasquad are enough, then just wait for the Soviet parasquad since they already get a MG as rifle weapon.
Berlin should be just renamed to Steiners counteroffensive at this point. Germany had no tanks or planes in the urban areas of berlin but we get to see tiger 2s and focke wulfs dominate the streets and skies of berlin.
The Soviets also didnt mass deploy prototype assault rifles, rejected auto rifles from the Winter War or low number auto rifles from World War I and iirc they never allowed their soldiets to select auto fire for those mentioed sf rifles.
You can play this game however and with whoever you want.
I know that. They could have made any late war eastern front urban campaign but decided to go with berlin that is probably the worst battle to represent in an videogame with balance
Soviets would have entire squads armed with PPSh and PPS in Berlin itself instead of limited to just 4 per squad like this game like we get to see more FG42 IIs than PPSh for some reason. Also Germany has infinite fuel to keep their tanks running even when the fighting is already at the city itself besides safe airfields to use their planes.
we have small Katyusha lite which can’t even compete against Caliope rockets while Pzwf42 just completely shits on BM-8-24, we need a real Katyusha that has way bigger rockets with more explosive filler BM-13 or/and BM-31
Ain’t it also had team of AT gunners sitting inside or a mortar team? It could increase value of that vehicle especially if we could customize our passengers that we could use as usual squad after we leave the vehicle.
