Next level engineering

Since the anti-aircraft gun has ceased to be an effective anti-personnel weapon, i can suggest the following changes for the engineers

Machineguns and anti-personnel stuff for engineers 1 (for example)
Moscow: Give them an ampulomets from donateStalingrad
Berlin: Engineers 1 will have Maxim vs MG08 and engineers 2 will have SG-43 and MG-42
Normandy: Browning M1917 or Vickers MG for allies and MG08 for axis
Tunisia: Browning M1917 or Vickers MG for allies and MG08, Schwarzlose M07/12 or Fiat-Revelli M1914 for axis
Pacific: Browning M1917 for allies and Hotchkiss Type 38 for axis
Engineers 1 will get worse machine guns, but at least they will (except for soviet campaigns)

AA Guns:
Firstly you need to remove overheating if you’re giving them such an angle

Engineers 1 gets fast-firing small caliber AA-guns (most of them 4 times weaker than the current ones, since they have 1 barrel)

Moscow/Stalingrad/Berlin: 25mm 72-K vs 20mm Flak-30
Normandy: 40mm Bofors L60 vs 37mm Flak-43
Tunisia: 20mm Oerlikon vs 20mm Breda 20/65 mod. 1935
Pacific: 20mm Oerlikon vs 20mm Type 98

Engineers 2 gets the large-calibre AA-guns with radio fuse (i hope the radiomen’s carpet bombing will be available for each campaign in the game)

Moscow/Berlin/Stalingrad: 85mm 52-K vs 88mm FlaK 18
Normandy: 90mm M1/M2/M3 vs 88mm FlaK 18
Tunisia: 75mm Vickers 1936/39 vs Canone da 75/46 C.A. modello 34
Pacific: 3inch M3 vs 75mm Type 98

AT-Guns:

Engineers 1 will get weaker guns, allowing them to fight the early tanks of the campaign (and i hope for some kind of matchmaking)

Moscow: 37mm 1-K vs KPUV vz.38 A.K.A. 4,7cm PaK(t)
30$grad: 45mm M-42 vs 50mm PaK38
Berlin: 76,2mm ZiS-3 vs 75mm PaK40
Normandy: 57mm M1 vs 50mm PaK38
Tunisia: 40mm QF 2pdr vs 37mm canone da 37/45 A.K.A. PaK36
Pacific: 37mm M3 vs 47mm Type 1

Engineers 2 will get more powerful guns capable of hitting almost all tanks in their campaign in frontal projection

Moscow: 45mm 53-K vs 50mm PaK38 (what we already have at the moment)
PayStalingrad: 76,2mm ZiS-3 vs 75mm PaK40
Berlin: 100mm BS-3 vs 88mm PaK-43
Normandy: 76,2mm 17pdr vs 75mm PaK40
Tunisia: 76,2mm M5 OR 57mm M1 vs 75mm Canone da 75/32 modello 37
Pacific: 57mm M1 vs 75mm Type 41

really disagree with you
for me, Stalingrad is the best thing I bought here - I have a lot of slots and other things
much better than Pacific preorder

Why nerfing existing engineer 1 at gun? You should add better at gun on engineer 2 instead.

Have you ever tried to kill a mosquito with a sledgehammer? it’s about the same here. This offer also implies the presence of normal matchmaking in the game.

I fully agree with you.

Stalingrad pack was, and still is, the best purchase one can make in this game.

it would be the best purchase if the DF did not close part of the levels with a donate wall… and why tf we should waste our xp for closed levels if we will get nothing for that?

Jesus Christ… everybody saying about my hatred to stalingrad donate wall, and almost nothing was said about the topic’s object itself

i agree that Stalingrad access pack have much bonuses for those, who bought it, but still… I wouldn’t say anything about it if those who can’t pay didn’t waste time on something they won’t get,and just skip the purple levels, and will go for them after the purchase… or if the developers made two parallel branches without those gaps, and those,who’s not paid gets only one of them…

but we are going to the offtopic.
could we go back to the engineer guns please.

I love the Stalingrad campaign but I do not agree with that Campaign’s Full Access Pack because it deters players if a majority of the campaign content is locked behind a paywall. I may buy it at some point but still

I like that with the Pacific they decided to go back to the core model. Make a standard campaign and release Premiums every so often. I also prefer the Pacific’s Pre Order system; and yes eventhough I was a little nitpicky about it at first I warmed up to it and I’m fine with it.

I hope all future campaigns follow the core system.

it would be better if they did left 4x from Stalingrad…

Overall like the ideas.

Food for thought too, I read that Italy considered their 20mm AA guns to be light anti-armor and specifically issued them as such, though I don’t know if those had a specialized mount.
Could have one with low ammo capacity for that purpose.

I personally like grinding. I know it can be a pain but that’s just the name of the game as they say

I feel similar, but more on the lines that the campaign has been in early access for too long to keep charging as such.

Good campaign though I still prefer Pacific.

MG08 ≈ Maxim M1910 ≠ MG-34…
and they took everything they could get from the warehouses and handed it over to the Volkssturm, if we are still talking about Berlin

I don’t think they can go back and drastically change Stalingard so we’ll just have to accept it as is. I still look forward to new maps and content.

Hopefully the devs understand that the Pacific is a good starting point going forward

pacific need few slots
like stalingrad have
or just +2 slots

I’m talking at least for Normandy and Tunisia

We have more than enough MG42s in the normandy, especially on D-day, and no italian stationary MGs at all

There’s MG42 only on D-day and why should they use obsolete MG on a 1944 campaign lol
