Hi! I don’t really know if I’m allowed to put this here but I would like some feedback on my current Italian troops!
————————————————————————————
70th Machine Gun Company
3 Machine Gunners
————————————————————————————
Yet again I don’t know if I’m allowed to put this here, but this is just game discussion so I thought I will be allowed anyways I think I did good but i would like some public opinion!
however, it appears you made italian marines instead.
because those uniforms are from the san marco regiment.
not sure if you are going for historical loadouts, but…
couple of things in no particular order,
italians didn’t tipically used 3 machineguns.
usually only 1.
but since you could play the " plausability "
2 are fine.
yes, the breda 30s were italians, but italians also used zb 26s
so for a change you could use one.
armaguerras weren’t used at all.
but in theory planned to be given 3 to a squad single specialist squad ( the san marco regiment was considered among elite / special unit regiment )
the most used carcano were
Carcano M41 & Modello 1891
the shorter version ( M38 ) were rare and mostly given to black shirts / rear echelon troops.
same goes for the sniper version.
the carbine were rare on the front lines.
Bonus:
the italians did used s18-100 ( for anti tank troopers if you had the chance to obtain it from the bp )
beretta m1s 40 rounds were more common.
with that being said,
it is also worth to mention that the italians did also used kar98ks, mp40s, mg42s and mg34s.
Thank you for the feedback!y main goal with this wasn’t really to make a squad but try to use as many Italian weapons that saw somewhat combat as possible as I want to give Italy some love as it’s equipment is honestly underrated.
So what I’m gonna do is remove the Armaguerra’s and replace them with M41s and give my third machine gunner the ZB, other then that, I think I might leave the rest alone. Anyways thanks for your feedback it’s been really helpful!
My squad setup is very different. I’m not on currently, but tomorrow I’ll be able to grab a photo of it. Essentially, this is how my Loadout is:
BR II Italian MG Squad:
2 Breda Mod 30s with Beretta M1934, SCRM Mod 35, and large ammo pouch
2 engineers, both equipped with Carcano Mod 38, SCRM Mod 35, Beretta M1934
1 AT with Carcano Mod 38, GrB-39 (couldn’t get the Solothurn), SCRM Mod 35
2 Rifleman with Carcano M1891, one with SCRM Mod 35, other with TNT Charge for backup AT
I disagree with Erika. Sources I read said the 6.5 Carcano Mod 38 was pretty prevalent on the battlefield. Plus, I absolutely loathe the Carcano M41 damage.
You could still keep an Armaguerra as they did see limited use. But only one, and probably on the Engineer squad
Give one to the first engineer on your engineer squad. I’m not sure in reality which squads would’ve been prioritised with one (most likely an assault squad).
But I know from experience Engineer squads benefit more from low tier Semi Auto than MG squads.
I completely forgot they used Mannlichers. I just don’t use it much because I hate the sights (arguably the worst sights in the game). I wouldn’t bother using the M41 at all - one of the slowest bolting guns in the game and the lowest damage to boot.
As promised, here are photos of how I chose to do my MG squad setup.
With the recent update, I’ll now be able to change the nationality of my few German soldiers into Italians, making it a true Italian squad. Also, only one of my Riflemen have the TNT charge - the other has the SCRM Mod. 35 Impact Grenade.
BR IV. I’ve grinded the Gewehr 43 and MG 42, and am grinding through the SMG tree currently. All my other factions are around the same point.
I just went back to BR II because it was cheaper to change all my soldiers and gear to be more Historically Accurate than BR III and above, although I will move back eventually.
Even in BR IV I plan on keeping a Kar 98 with me. It’s great because you can surprise Semi Auto users because they’re not expecting a one-shot kill at any range. Plus, it wouldn’t be right to take 4 semi autos in a squad (too expensive and not HA). Especially if they’re Gewehr 41s . . .
My highest kills in a BR III match actually came from using a majority of bolt actions. They are seriously overpowered, at least against semi autos.
The only other rifle I’ll use is the Gewehr 43 and that’s only in APC squads, due to the Gewehr 43 being used by the junior squad leader in irl Panzergrenadier squads
Good setup! I don’t play Germany that much anymore nowadays. But, I have a few squads that I loved to play as during the pre-merge days in the Tunisia campaign.
