Here are the majority of BP and Event weapons I have. I might have missed a couple, like the Solothurn, but I got most of them. Some were individual BP weapons and some were premium or event squad weapons. For the most part, I have at least four of them each.
Some the image quality got worse as I added them, but I think you can see them for the most part. I did not realize I had this many allied and German as I have had most of them for a couple years now and just forget where they came from. As I am always saying, I’ve spent far too much money on this game, but I’m retired and don’t have much to spend on so it’s not a big deal anymore. This doesn’t include pistols I have bought. However, it does piss me off that I’ve spent this much and I can’t even use all the premium squads I’ve bought. Gaijin punishes those who spend a lot apparently.
and to think that they spent time recreating them, I used Google photos and I discovered that the team symbols are even real with mottos in Italian etc, absurd to work on this and then deliberately not make them accessible especially if people ask you, this aside, it would be nice to see at least one, I repeat one, map set in Italy, let’s wait and see, I don’t know what else to say
I was thinking of grinding the M1921 Thompson for the Japanese, but then I realised all the other Japanese SMGs are better than it anyway. Plus, captured weapons sort of take away from the feel of a faction (cough cough ofrenrohr).
I personally, to get around this problem because 11 teams are actually not enough, I created various presets for example before the merger took place I photographed the various campaigns and then I recomposed them via the presets and I renamed them: Normandy (Germany), Berlin (Germany), Tunisia (Italy / Germany), Stalingrad / Rzhev (Germany), Moscow Axis I was missing but I created BR II (Italy / Germany) to use all the low br Italian teams that I had unlocked and that I would not have used for the high br all the presets have 11 teams and so when I want to play with certain teams I do nothing but select them via the preset system… for USSR equals Moscow (Russia), Berlin (Russia), Stalingrad / Rzhev (Russia) Allies I made USA BR V and BR 3 (England / USA), Japan solitaire BR 5
I have the sawed off shotguns as well but forgot as it goes in the pistol slot. The sawed off shotgun, the Swartz smg pistol and the Soviet Yazikov smg pistol.
I cheat, I have a full squad of engineers with six Yazikov’s, I use the Yazikov as their main weapon. It only had three magazines of 15 rounds each, but if I build an ammo crate close to the action I can use them as any ordinary smg. My two Swartz smg pistols I use with a couple snipers for close in fighting. I have a BAR squad with the sawed off shotguns, but they rarely get used.
The Dev’s need to add the Thompson pistol to the Allies pistol lineup.
You can buy a reproduction of it today, but they did have them during the war. but I doubt they were used this way.
