the only changes that it comes to my mind, are a few, and iāll explain why:
1 ) lower semi auto rifles and create a new " line " separated from the bolt actions. and increse the discharger grenade launcher weapons of one tier above for each
Reason:
so let me get this straight.
you guys putted smgs more accessible at earlier br than semi auto rifles?
which, why is the vg 1 - 5 in the automatic weapon despite being an actual semi auto weapon?
i guess you guys want to limit stuff which itās fine, butā¦
anyway, the reason why i think it would be better to have semi auto detached to the bolt action itās because both are different weapons and should be in different lines. beside, wasnāt the whole thing of the tech tree being able to select what players want? which i believe would be better by moving semi autos elsewhere.
and to me, the more logical placement would be, for example, put semi autos into one line.
and i thought about a better placement:
for example
Vg 1-5 - Tier 5 ( and change it to riflemen already. like those were in berlin )
Gewehr 41 - Tier 6
ZH 29 - Tier 7
Gewehr 43 - Tier 8
and regarding the dischargers, i feel like those are too much obtainable earlier than it should, like, would be better in my opinion to have the option to use grenade launcher at tier 5.
( same goes for the allies. starting from tier 4 / 5 would be an improvement. i just used axis because they have more semi autos )
i think having those weapons in mid tier and in their own line have some benefits in terms of gameplay as well.
mostly because in that way, semi auto will not be too earlier, and not too late either. and, last reason, the placements of the weapons would allign more with the other equipment based on the tier.
2 ) Lower Shotguns to tier 2 / 3
Reason
Shotguns are not really effective at every ranges. so, itās more of a side choice for those who wants to use it, but i donāt think shotguns should be unlocked later than earlier. ( especially in their current state )
PS. iām fine with the auto 5 shotgun placement, because that is a good shotgun.
and lastly suggestion that i have:
3) Lower Bikes at Tier 3
i personally love bikes. but i feel like, due to other unlocks and weapons those gets outclassed and become obsolete. therefore, in my humble opinion i believe at tier 3 would make bikes balanced. not too later to be of any use, yet not too early to cause issues.
i kinda find it weird that you can unlock tanks earlier than bikes. which itās more or less fine by me, as it provides a counter for newer players against tanks, but at the same time, i donāt really think bikes should be at a relatively āhighā br for what it offers and what can be unlocked at the same tier. like, the rate.
what iām trying to say, those can be dealt by pretty much any vehicle in the 3rd bar and weapons, it also offer a viable good early mobile mg. but as a high risk high reward due to the fragility and limitation of the crew of 2/3 on the bike.
but those are my two cents.
P.S. itās based on my personal preferences and i tried to stay unbias as possible.
i would also like to point out that perhaps mine are more nitpicks. but so far, iām seeing alot of people addressing already other concenrs, so i tried to stay " original " and not repeat what other said. ( which might looks like not being 100% important. which iām fine. it costed me nothing to think about a better placement for the ones i addressed. i hope i was clear though )
