I like the polish smg.

Japan should get its Tier 5 “when” DF adds the 1945 Soviet liberation of Manchuria.

IIRC that is typically the case for paratrooper squads in an attempt to balance them. Which is an approach I disagree with. So, fair point.

Medics have their own downsides, such as that they cannot carry ammo pouches. And I’d take an engineer over a medic any day.

I don’t think it would be fun to get everything for free; the game has to be monetized and there has to be an incentive to play. There are already loads of weapons available in the TT that you can play around with. Event squads are destined to be recycled if not transferrable in a future market system. Also, event squads are more accessible than filling a squad with gold order weapons for F2P players.

I don’t see this to be an issue. I happen to like weapon homogeneity in my squads.


To be precise, I would like for premium and event squads to be formatted like the “Silent Hunter” reward squads. Where you can equip the AT gunner with an AT weapon of choice.

brings one question though.

in what… way is a " themed " bp of relevance.

not trying to be mean but…

what is the theme of this season?

according to:

the… soviet smg?

the japanese smg?

what? which?

because i don’t know how those correlate with the other rewards. such as… the plane. or the gold order tanks of other factions.

and… what should a " theme " imply anyway?

i’m… confused.

My tankers don’t care - there are no real world ergonomic considerations in this game.

But I care - I can give my tankers any SMG - so will this be better than the existing options?

No, a better solution is that tier 5 USSR would be unable to play against Japan, the same way tier 5 USA can’t do it now (and nobody is complaining about it).
And a proper solution is implementing a “matchmaking” from the 1st dev server alongside the current one so that we don’t have anachronistic weapons in battles (Volkssturm weapons in Stalingrad and so on). I made a suggestion on how it should look like.

Honestly very few people really care too much about the cosmetics.
Meanwhile most players still need copious amounts of silver to keep progressing.

How about just changing the cosmetics over to silver and just increasing silver gain from the BP instead?

Meh content, not gonna make me get into play a match, but i can keep on going with the login streak, and that’s it.

They have no idea what a theme is or how to make them, they just do a quick scan of odd weapons ww2 wikipedia, slap some bs infro from said page and there you go.
Same like Events, or for that matter… whole game :upside_down_face:

A community manager explained it on Reddit:
“The theme is like submachine guns / assaulters … so SMGs as gold order weapons, SMG/Assaulter on the poster and on the portrait …”

Which does feel a little bit …underwhelming.

Thats… rather lame frankly

Yeah, so that’s the level of complexity I was kind of expecting lol

Btw. It’s funny that most people (myself included) wouldn’t even get that current season is going to be “smg themed”.
4 guns, one portrait and one poster. What a theme!

2 new unique weapons and 2 reskins with different stats and quite underwhelming ones at that, instead of focusing on how this games economy is looking like early 1920s germany or the massive amount of bugs let’s add 2 reskins and put in at least a little work to make 2 unique guns.

In short: I feel like you hate Japan with all your heart, not only do we have a lot of copies of the worst tank in the game that could be replaced by something more acceptable, but on top of a weapon as good as the SIG, you remove the bayonet How useful is it, honestly, I think you need to take another look when thinking about what to put in Japan and it is not hate, it is discontent due to the mistreatment that the faction has been receiving, in terms of gold orders

i mean i could tell that this bp is smg theme all unique (with some not that unique) gun like i said tho i do want to test it before i reconsider since i do want that smooth pps looking gun just hope it got good sound tho

eh i will probably get the sig for a GO jap assaulter if they have one

also do we know which br these will be? if it br2 then yea im gonna buy some of those i guess since i barely do br2 at all nowadays (i tend to give event or GO weapon to soldier with medal so yea)

I hang out at BR3 across the board and throw in my BR5 paratroopers if I want to force myself into Normandy (if it hasn’t rotated me over in a while)

BR3 is where it’s at.

where you usually get with br3 US? i always get normandy br5 so i stop going br3 for a while now

Glad to see the developers taking note of our problems. Hopefully, things will change for the better in the next BP.

BR 3 you can get anything. In Pacific and Tunisia, BR3 is top level. In Normandy and Ardennes, BR3 is lowest level. I didn’t play tonight after making it up to General for the first time last night. But last night, I had Hurtgen, Swamp of Riviers, Tunisia Gorge, Pacific Gavutu(I think it was Gavutu)

…I was all over the place. If I “absolutely demand” to play Ardennes or Normandy, I’ll swap my 506th paratroopers into the roster. I think I played 3 or 4 rounds with them last night and night before last. I actually got a Steel Mill map while I had my troopers. It’s always awesome to drop on the roof and attack Krauts from above. They tend not to see that coming and it’s super fun to shock the shit out of them lol
