Preliminary list of changes for the February update

[xaos]

@Keofox

The carried ammunition capacity for Gewehr 41, Gewehr 41 (M), Sniper Gewehr 41, Turner SMLE, and SKT-40 has been increased from 30 to 50 rounds.

Now do that with all of the italian semi-autos that are stuck with the same ammo load as bolt-action carcanos.

We have the tech tree Armaquerra Mod. 39, the Scotti mod.X and the Pavesi M42 (that suffers at BR3) that are also stuck at 30 rounds ammunition capacity.

Also, when are we gonna see a matchmaker with proper uptiers/downtiers???
We need a % limit of the top BR of any match, and we need to replace the hardcoded 1-2-3 or 3-4-5 BR
brackets with a more fluid matchmaker system. WHERE is 2-3-4 matches??? Where are the 1-2 or 4-5 only battles (should be rare (only when a BR is overcrouded), too stale fighting the same things endlessly). Right now BR3 is forced to be either in the top of the food chain, or in the very bottom with NO middie ground. Just look at War Thunder’s BR system. (It’s actually BR±3 looking like BR±1)

In addition, we need BRdecompression6, since BR5 has so mych power creep, that it eclipses even the difference between BR1 and BR3 tanks. Just look at Tiger E vs T-34-85 vs Tiger II(H). Only the IS-2 can frontally pen the Tiger II(H) while the Tiger E struggles to survive against BR4 tanks shooting at it. While, at low tier, even a BT 5 can snipe a PZ. IV J frontally at range. It makes no sense that the Tiger II(H) is at the same BR as the Tiger E and the IS-1 (the BR5 Sherman should get to BR4, with the Panthers). We have the same issue with smg’s vs AR’s, they can’t be at the same BR nor be downtiered.

Last, when we are going to have a BR rebalancing round??? The BR os some weapons definitely needs to change. I proposed a bunch of them, alongside other ideas in this ~2month old thread: a bit outdated

Fixing the unbalanced state of post-merge Enlisted

The merge dropped a few days ago, and it’s exactly as i expected! StG44 & Fedorov spam (general spam meta), extremely unbalanced matchmaker and one sided stomp matches with massive BR differences between teams… Let’s think for a bit about WHY the merge happened in the first place. It was supposed to fix some of the problems of campaign-based Enlisted. Which problems you ask??? Here are the main problems of pre-merge Enlisted: Progression system Unbalanced matchmaker Weapon/Vehicle unbalance …

For a number of allied weapons with aperture sights, the camera position has been changed

Why only for allied weapons? A bunch of other guns share the same issue with the character eating his gun during ADS. For example the Type 94 pistol or the Type 38 rifle ( Change camera position during ADS on Arisaka rifles )
on the Japanese side.

[coldestwinter]

The G41 (M) sight desperately needs some work

[Adamnpee]

Yes, agree

[Ron_McKracker]

@Keofox

For a number of allied weapons with aperture sights, the camera position has been changed and the stability while aiming has been improved during movement and shooting. Now the rear sight is no longer too close to the camera while aiming for the following weapons: Thompson M1, M1A1, M1928A1 (with 30, 50, 100 round magazines); M1, M1A1, M2, M2A1 Carbines; M1, M1E5, M1C Garand; T20E1; Johnson M1941; Farquhar-Hill M1918; M50, M55 Reising; UD M42; Owen .45 ACP.

Thank you, Mr. Keofox. It is much appreciated.

Squads’ limitation aside from planes/tanks should never ever be a thing, even less if prem squad are excluded.

[IceySmooth]

I really like the AI improvements especially as well as the map changes.

Fingers crossed you guys keep giving AI some priority.

Presume vehicles/weapons getting revealed later??

[Wieloglow]

Why no Pershing + Super Pershing ? They were promised in December along with Ho-Ri:

Weapons and vehicles of the next update

Transport vehicles with mobile rally point mechanic, self-propelled artillery and a lot of weapons and vehicles for your army. We’re talking about what’s coming in the new major update! JAPAN [image] Type 99 rifle (early) A rifle familiar to many, but since it’s from the beginning of the war, it’s quality is much better. It has good sights, and a long barrel guarantees high damage and excellent accuracy. [image] Type 99 rifle (early) with grenade discharger What could be better than a go…

Looks like im done playing this game. Now your going to limit the way i play!? Im done, I dont want to run squads i dont like. Now your going to take away my ability to run my premium and hard earned event squads i bought bc now i have to run some garbage squad ill never use? WTF!!! Now we are limiting how we fucking play are you serious! im so upset at this, i really dont think this is a good idea at all.

[Greyparrots]

They’re just limiting you from spamming the same squad type

[XxWARFIGHTERxX]

EXACTLY!!! i bought and grinded event squads and now im essentially having them taken away. Literally destroying the game i like. Im done if they do this. I dont want to run or be FORCED to run some stupid ass rifle squad bc people whiny and want nerfs on everything.

[Wieloglow]

It is only on a test server. Squad limits will be removed in real game.

[Greyparrots]

Because you have the luxury to spam and infinite number of flamethrower squads does not mean that’s exactly nice for the other players and that doesn’t make it any better for F2P players fighting you.

I read the following as “it’s not working how we want it to and may never. It’ll be on the test server and then you may or may not ever see some modified version of it.”

I wouldn’t quite leave the game over something in a test server.

@James_Grove

Heya, this stuff is not fully functional and will be removed before release, but will be presented on dev server for now

[Greyparrots]

If they do not put some form of limitation then they’ve gone mad

[Cleetus_WA]

@Greyparrots

Read the thread.

[Wieloglow]

Exactly, squad limits were meant to reduce suicide bombings, not number of flametroopers and assaulters

I DONT EVEN RUN FLAMETHROWERS, but i have premium and event squads that i use. why would they take that away to force me to run squads i dont want to use or will ever. This is ridiculous.

@James_Grove

I was very glad when i seen that change с:

But when will we be able to buy more Gewehr 1888s? Having only 1 of them really sucks.

@Keofox

• The carried ammunition capacity for Gewehr 41, Gewehr 41 (M), Sniper Gewehr 41, Turner SMLE, and SKT-40 has been increased from 30 to 50 rounds.
• The carried ammunition capacity for AKT-40 has been increased from 30 to 60 rounds.

Don’t forget the Beretta M31, Pavesi M42, Scotti Mod. X, and Armaguerra Mod. 39.
