Iā€™d like a system to toggle nation specific engineer buildings, that would be niceā€¦

Either all US or UK buildings, or individual (so US MG but UK AT)ā€¦ and either on a squab by squad basis or a universal toggleā€¦

I mean I would love to see it, however considering Japan and the soviets dont have their own high br AT gun yet, I think it can wait, I mean at that, it would be nice to get the german Pak43 for BR4/BR5 germany too.

So you could have your 45/50/37mm guns at BR1, or at BR2 if facing BR1,
Your 57/50mm at BR2, if facing BR2 or BR3, or at BR3 if facing BR2,
Your 75/76mm at BR3, if facing BR3 or BR4, or BR4 facing BR3
And then your 17pdr/BS-3/Pak43 at BR4 if facing BR5, and ofc BR5 itself.

For the UK:

BR I-II: Ordnance QF 2-pounder
BR II-III: Ordnance QF 6-pounder
BR: IV-V: Ordnance QF 17-pounder

If we want to save space, 6-pounder I-III and 17-pounder IV-V.

A man can dream.

I mean the M1 and the 6pdr guns are near identical tbh, so we already have the british gun lineup if you look at it that way.

Oh yeah, thatā€™s right I forgot, they are actually the same gun!

Then only a cosmetic difference will do, I think they used different carriages and optics later in the war. I hope the gun in game has the British APDS rounds, the US didnā€™t use those apparently on their guns.

I mean the US version technically could get a canister shot which might be funny.

Denying US troops the 17 pounder is very suboptimal for balance.

  1. Thatā€™s not what I said.

  2. Itā€™s not like they donā€™t have their own native options that could be added to the game:

I myself am quite tired of the US overrepresentation in the game, at the cost of Commonwealth forces, and the constant additions of Commonwealth gear and vehicles to US squads. The Brits canā€™t stay the US crutch forever.

Maybe it was just me but I was reading it as unique/special AT guns specifically for the UK which to me implied an exclusionary effect against US squads.

Also the 3" M5 gun has much worse AT performance compared to the 17 pounder.

And donā€™t forget about the XA-38 Grizzly

What nation is the plane from, and what squads can use? I donā€™t know anything about the plane.

Itā€™s an American plane that was built during the war but didnā€™t see combat. Currently the No. 144 squadron uses the XA-38

Japan is lame and soviet already has bias + the cannon theyā€™d have would be worse than qf 17 pdr

Ah, if only Italian squads were building Italian guns and British squads were building British gunsā€¦

A man can dream about such incredible achievements in WW2 gaming in 2025

I was quite sad when the devs were adding the more powerful AT guns and the Soviets didnā€™t get the 100mm.

Not in the tank department, the IS-2 is worse than the KT.

then would create an imbalance and also further reinforce bias lol
