"Battle of Moscow" “Firepower” Bundle

Lewis gun Squad
The iconic ammo pan of the Lewis gun has NO rotation animation.
I am surprised for such iconic LMG that its missing, and it gives it a unrealistic feel.

I don’t understand why something so simple as a rotation animation for the pan magazine is not added, this is not in line with authenticity!

Your putting effort in correcting the soldier uniforms and putting minor changes like gloves, flasks, helmets, and pockets for the authentic feel. (Corresponding with the factions and time of that era)

But if you strive for authenticity then, why did the Lewis gun, got overlooked, can you make it authentic and give it the proper realism?

Here is a educational video with a clear view of the rotation of the pan magazine as it originally would have functioned on a authentic (Animated) Lewis gun!
Slow Motion: .303 Lewis Gun: https://youtu.be/hp0pMuuPNCA

Its a pretty high price for a premium squad, i had the idea that development was some what striving for authenticity, but for such iconic detail left out it feels unfinished for the price given.

Asking 48.99 € for this premium squad bundle leave’s a bit of a sour taste in the mouth,
and they have a separate price indication 34.99 € but as for now you can’t buy them separately why?

Is there any intention to update the Lewis gun animation and giving the option to buy them separately?

Thanks in advance for reading my concern.

Would have been nice but is currently irrelevant to the issue.

None of the pan magazines spin, including the DP-27. Its not just a detail of the one gun being incorrect.

Also lets be real, almost all of the premium squads are frankly just over priced. They do at least let you try them out, so you can see stuff like this before you buy.

yes same with dp27,dpm and dt 29

there isnt a animation yet on any of the rotating mags ingame.

also, the price you pay for something isnt relevant here.

g41’s, johnson rifle, wz in berlin, sks and what ever still reload all 5 or 10 bullet clips even if you fire a single bullet.
apcr on jumbo premium acts exacly like normal AP and so on…

if you complain about the price over the outcome, animations shouldnt be the issue, but rather bugs that affect your gameplay.

either way, i understand the above since - beta game. hopefully all the above will be fixed as time goes.

one thing they def should fix, is removing the MG from the engineer and give it a normal weapon. that, they should def fix.

The pan of the DP-27 itself does not rotate as for DP/DTM- 27 Tank Version,
(dp27,dpm and dt 29) But i understand what you mean.

However this is something that can be over looked since its that of a minor detail, since its not the whole pan that has to be moving (MY opinion)

If i know correctly, Darkflow removed rotation animation because it increases minimum requirement.

makes no sence what so ever what you are stating if you think about it.

First: I am not complaining on the price, i am making a point on the authenticity!
And for the price you pay I expect quality/effort put into it.
No excuse for it when you strive for authenticity

Second: Being still a Beta game is no excuse and stand lose from a paid squad
And i hope they update the weapon fast/and or with in the Beta time

Third: I had not the idea from the development team that they would animate/fix the pan magazine’s what’s however not their intention for it!

hopefully one day they will work fine.
i do have the same problems since i too own premium squads/free weapons with said magasins / wrong animations, and i too belive they should be fixed one day, but i rather have them working on whats more important than “visuals” right now :stuck_out_tongue:

13

I agree with that.

14

Still i point it out since its the “Lewis gun” and if you strive for authenticity than with a non rotating pan magazine that’s just a no go. That for something so obviously incorrect even for a Beta, and to pay for, shame.

And i believe a false statement is made that Darflow did remove the animation to prevent increases of minimum requirement, they never had any rotation animation in the first place.

And if they did where is the source you did get that info from?

I have to be strict now!

I want the devs to see and pick up on this, so that it may be addressed in the future update.
That means everything that is not relevant to this topic and or is undermining it is reported/ flagged!

I am serious about this and therefore want to be taken seriously by Darkflow personnel and or there development employees.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

It is the same technology as panzerfaust.

18

? You mean that you have a panzerfaust in hand even though you have no ammo or that you can have 5(?) of them equipped for one soldier?

19

When the panzerfaust is shot, it understand it is empty now and doesn’t have purpose in life anymore.
It start to ask question about its existence in this world, and try to fill the void.
Until it realise they are an inanimate object, creating a pradox and suddendly stop to exist. Just disapearing.

Bye the way MG42 are smoky as hell:
