define historical accurate in terms of balance because a
a garand would be br2 a gw41 would be b3 a gw43 would be br4 along with the fg42. the bar and thompson would be br1 while the mg43 would be br3.
br1 ww1 weapons
br2 interwar weapons
br3 early war weapons 39-41
br4 middle war 41-43
br5 44+
germany would dominate br4 5 and tie in 3 but get hosed in br1 and 2
and no mix and match going but odf course the bar and garand are br3
not in a historically authentic game, yeah germany had the fg42 and stg44 but us had most of its iconic weapons for decades.
the other option is go by the start of the war
39 br1 thompson bar garand
41 br2 gw41
43 br3 gw43
44 br4
45 br5
no really, my point is you can start the br scale by when the weapons where produce or when the war started. still the effect would be the same if the br scale begins in 1941 for the us br1. it would not put the gw41 and garand in the same br. you dont get to start the scale in 1939 for germany then make the garand br3 and claim it historically accurate. no government marks their weapon by the first year it was used in combat but the first date it was issued to soldier or accepted into service.
ok if the garand produced in 1936 and issued in 1937 is br3 the gw41 would be br4 and the gw43 would be br5 thats historically accurate. that would also still put the bar and early thompsons in br1 or 2.
The U.S. first fought in Africa as part of Operation Torch on November 8, 1942, with Allied landings in French Morocco and Algeria during World War II. While the initial goal was to seize key ports and divert Axis forces, this operation marked the first large-scale involvement of U.S. troops in the North African theater. The campaign continued with battles like the Battle of Kasserine Pass, which saw the U.S. face its first major defeat against German forces in February 1943.
so then america can only fight in br4 5 because thats when murrica joined so murrica cant fight in any battles it was not part of. leaving germany to only fight ussr in br 1 2 3. as murrica is not a shrodingers cat itys either fighting the war or its not. it participation begins when it brs begin.
and the german were have ton of bolt action rifles if thats when you want to lay br 1 2. but in the current system us and uk fight together and again us can only fight in maps that are in years after there br tech tree starts. so if the us tech tree starts in 1944 for europe thats the brs they can fight in. so if for germany and italy 1944 is br 4 5 then america and its gear all br 4 5 can only fight in br 4 5 sorry no having america using low level british weapons in br 1 2 3.
again br techtree do not start when a faction a enters the war, b enters a theater of war. history starts when they start issuing the weapon to there soldiers.
The Battle of Sicily, beginning in July 1943, was the first large-scale land invasion of Europe by substantial U.S. forces, though smaller groups of American soldiers participated in the 1942 Dieppe Raid and some reconnaissance units may have been on European soil earlier in the war. U.S. ground forces’ initial combat experience was in the North African campaign, prior to the Italy campaign which included Sicily.
which would make murrica limited to fighting germany in br 3 4 5
funny japan limited to br 1 2
while the us/allies cant fight germany in br 1 2 cause it was not in the war and lack br 1 2 weapons
again murrica can only fight in brs it fought the war in ‘history’
meaning old br 1 2 gear would just be thrown out but also that almost all small arms would be br3
only planes and tanks would mainly fit in br 4 5 and a few guns
ok so it would be a fixed system
playing europe/africa br 1 2 you would be limited to the uk
The first major engagement involving U.S. soldiers in the North African theater of World War II was the Allied invasion of French North Africa, codenamed Operation Torch, beginning on November 8, 1942. While this was the start of their major involvement in the region, the first large-scale battle against experienced German forces occurred during the subsequent Tunisian Campaign, notably at the Battle of Kasserine Pass in February 1943.
UK joining the pacific in 1942 would be limited to br 3 4 5 so not in the pacific. as brs are determined when the country joined the theater not weapon dates or date of joining the war.
Malayan campaign
sorry but this system is shite brs begin when german ‘started ww2’ but each factions weapons ARE PLACE BASEd ON WHEN THEY JOINED THAT WW2 THEAER. in that case i think ‘ww2’ should start earlier than 1939 as i consider other a part of it if us joins the war in europe in 1943. how about the ussr who joined in the invasion of poland allowing any weapon in use at that time to be br1.
I think latest soviet vs japan event might have something with it, maybe devs also planning to do some kind “historical” game modes, with historical setups? I dunno, either way I would like to play historical game even if its kar98 vs ppsh1 Tiger vs t34
Then 9 out of ten players of enlisted don’t want you’re authentic
How about authentic loadouta than
Year by year what was the average soldier using
Not just was xyz weapon available but how was the average squad armed
So like for most of the war
Japan and Germany using bolties and smgs with mgs and sa sprinkled in
All brs Germany gets karabinev98k br 12345
UK/us br 12 gets gets lee no4ki1
US/UK 345 gets garand
Given that 13 mil army and only 100k 41s and 400k 43s
Compared to 3 million garands and 6 mil carbines
Br1 39-41 16 months
Br2 41-42 1/2 16 months
Br3 42-43
Br4 43-44
Br5 44+
And I’m playing on you German weeaboo
Do I think the garand should be br2 no
Do I think the fg42 should be an infantry rifle no
An authentic ww2 game would
Have no select fire rifles
Be limited to the sg44 for assault rifles
Would not give German RPGs to anyone
Would remove the tiger h and super Pershing
Would limit tiger 2 and 1s they were rare weapons
Would limit semi autos of Germany and Japan
I am giving USSR the side eye but untill proven otherwise
The US was the only country in ww2 to standardize semi auto at any point in the war
LMG would be the only hip shoulder fire mgs
Give German big mags but force the to operate prone
I could say more but it risk becoming too and did
No one wants to fight ww2
They want something between cod and hll
