We’re getting the P, not the H italibro
I thinked the p is a missclick sorry 
I’m not asking for all weapons to be the same. What I am asking, is where it makes sense, to try to improve balance while sticking to the weapons available to the faction in question.
Weapons in many, many cases in game do not act like their real-life counterparts, (for example, the soviet SMGs having less recoil per shot than the German SMGs, when it is very much the other way around IRL) and there are options while keeping to historical accuracy to improve balance through the selection of different equipment for different factions.
The J varient of the Panzer IV was a downgrade over the Panzer IVH, made to simplify production, however both were present in 1945 and there were H variants recorded as operating in Berlin at war’s end. So too were there Tiger 1’s, though obviously not many. Either would be a closer match that what we see for beginners in Berlin right now- still worse but an upgrade over the J in the case of the Panzer IVH, or slightly better but not by the same degree the T-34-85 D-5T in the case of the Tiger 1, when compared to the T-34-85 D-5T.
The M3A1, M2, Chaffee, Jumbo, Panzer IIIB and the BA make the “historical” point redundant to a point where it only matters when it was built and by who.
Same goes for weapon stats which are nothing but pure madness.
