Possible solution for more historical accuracy

A new historical mode or new rooms in custom battles should appear where player would have to meet certain Bolt action rifles ratio equipped in squads and other requirements such as limited explosion pack, to be able to join and fight.

Ofc it might running along current system that is also very entertaining in its own way

If you want to be accurate you will have to give more automatic weapons to the USSR. It is estimated that at the beginning of the war the Soviets had equipped 1 out of 7 men with an automatic weapon, far above the rate of Nazi Germany.

that would be left to devs to deal with, either they would want more balancing or more historical accuracy , i think the best is compromise … each campaign might have its unique requirements, also some nerfs could be removed and fixed while playing specifically this mode or this custom battle rooms

So for Normandy…

  • No German Aircraft
  • 6 plane slots for allies
  • 5 tanks slots for allies
  • Panther transmission and engine are almost always kaput
  • No German tanks on the beach maps
  • No Jumbo on the beach maps
  • Weapon pool gets restricted to Garand, Garand with grenades, M1 Carbine, M1 Carbine with Grenades, M1a1 Thompson, M1 Thompson, M3 Grease Gun and Browning M1918A2 against K98k, both K98ks with grenades, Gewehr 43, MP-43/1, MP-34, MP-35, MP-40, ZK-383, Berretta M38 and MG-42

atleast there wouldnt be squads of people running round with select fire rifles >w>

Was M1 carbine, M3 grease gun, M1A1 Thompson, BarM1918A2 really present during D-Day landings ?

yes they were

Carbine was an auxiliary weapon, Grease gun was starting to replace the M1a1 and M1 Thompsons, and the M1918A2 was the standard issue infantry automatic weapon for US forces since 1939.

Naval arty was used only before the landing. There were no arty observers and allies were worried about shelling their own troops. (As far as I know.)

It was used to shell large targets like manors where the Germans had strongholds and headquarters, but it was used sparingly from what I read.
