Well Japan and US can use a bit more small arms also 1 LMG for GE i think that’s what we need at BR V cuz US and Japan really have less BR V options then GE and USSR but GE needs 100 round LMG 100%:
I think that’s the best options for BR V small arms for the factions. ( there can be added some Italian or UK stuff in the future when the devs decide to focus on this 2 sub factions)
I am very annoyed though (its also just cringy) that for USA they have a GI holding an Owen gun. Yanks never used Owen guns.
They have Australian uniforms already designed. How friggin hard is it to make an Australian squad?? Or at least have a ‘British’ squad unlock the Owen instead of Yanks and then give us free customisation to make them Australians like digger hats/slouch hats.
The USSR has the Maxim-Tokarev machine gun, which is very heavy, has strong recoil (very), and a rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. The RD 44 has good performance, but this is offset by the small damage. The US/England has a machine gun with a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute! There is also the Japanese Type 100, but instead of good performance (although the large mass is felt) has the largest spread! In turn, the MG 42 has none of these disadvantages among belt-fed machine guns! It has normal damage, normal mass, normal recoil and excellent rate of fire! It pays nothing for its ammunition. So MG 08/18 or LMG15 seems to me a better option to enter the branch of pumping, as a direct analog of Maxim-Tokarev.
I’m certainly in favor of more content from Japan, but do we really need a weakened Type Hei automatic rifle?
Yes! The 4 BR machine gun is really necessary for Japan! TE 4 is good for that.
I think the T 20 rifle with optics is better suited as a 5 BR sniper weapon. It would be much easier to introduce, but the Model 45A automatic rifle would look great for a gold entry or as an event reward.
Yes but USSR has better SMGs then GE so it will be more fair if GE has the best LMGs not to mention MG 42 with 100 rounds wont be much better then RD 44.
For US there can be added something British there is options. But the US tactics where not like German tactics to depend on their Machine Gunner they had more flexible tactics at the end of the war.
Well the Germans have FG 42 and STG weakened versions I simply copied the other factions.
Well it can be BR 4 or 5 but if its BR 4 it will be best machine gun for BR IV
Yes there is other options simply us don’t have automatic rifle with scope like USSR and GE and Japan will have Machine Guns with scopes
Yeah but…
Germany has better tanks, automatic rifles, sniper weapons, aviation and may have better machine guns. Of course one nation may have an advantage in something, but not in almost everything in relation to another nation (we are talking about 5 BR).
The RD 44 has too little damage, you don’t have enough to kill the enemy with one bullet, you need to spend always two bullets! How MG42 can kill (unless the fighter has increased health) with one bullet, thereby MG42 will require twice less time to kill and twice less ammo to kill, this is critical! This is really better to give out as a reward for an event.
The Type Hei and automatic Type Hei rifles have grooves on the left side, one Russian source claims they are for mounting the Type 97 sights. Considering that Japanese sniper rifles do have the sight offset to the left, this makes sense. I would add that the Type Ko and Type Otsu also had an optic mount, and it makes sense that the Type Hei would also have an optic mount option. I would add that this could have been influenced by Soviet rifle trophies at Khalkhin-Gol and Lake Khasan, where for example ABC 36 and SVD 30 were equipped with optics.
Well they gonna add the IS - 3 for the USSR so Germany wont be having better tanks. USSR Assaulters at BR V all their weapon options are better then GE and Germany don’t have better planes then USSR. GE has better automatic rifles FG 42 is better but worse then US so GE is in the middle there. GE King Tiger is the best tank as armor and weapon goes but still its a bit of a doom turtle.
Yes MG42 will be very strong with 100 bullets but you can have only 3 people with it and Assaulter squads and rifleman squads are better then LMG squads at BR V and the best Assaulter squads are SU and best rifleman squads are US so GE right in the middle of it.
Well yes that’s also an option but first hope they add type 96 and type 99 with scope the worst part is in the past type 96 had a scope and they removed it …
There hasn’t been a word from the community manager, let alone the announcement of IC 3. Germany has the Ju 188, no Soviet… No, not a single airplane in the game at all has such a bomb load, and the BF 109 K4 has better speed, turn time and rate of climb characteristics than the I 185! Again, literally the only advantage the USSR has is the assault armament, I don’t deny that, but for everything else, Germany has far better counterparts in the pumping branch .
