“African Americans. With approx. 2 thousand selected volunteers, several dozen platoons were created and delegated to white companies. The soldiers were praised by their commanders, but soon after the end of the German offensive, the whole experiment was canceled so as not to irritate American politicians. The soldiers returned to their home units. In many other individual cases, however, African Americans proved that their combat value was not lower than that of their white colleagues.”
This is an excerpt from the book “Afroamerykanie w US Army”
Relying on a rigid framework without checking the details is also misleading.
that vicker looking good and those fg42 are something i never heard of personally i like it but of course it can be hellish to deal with if your team are mostly bot but it cool
But,After the merge, I would like to put them at the core of the “British Army Preset” that I will have and use them in Tunisia and elsewhere.
It looks like I will need to attend this festival for at least a week.
Overall, really cool. I like the British squad way more, the Germans just look copy pasted from the premium squad. I wonder if the Vickers will beat the Browning for best Allied machine gun.
But damn guys, we just had 3 big events. Kinda messed up to force people to commit that much when summer is about to start. Hopefully these just get added to the new tech tree.
This is why we need squad class limits. It’s gonna be just as bad with flamethrowers after the merge. They’re gonna be freakin everywhere.
If I had to guess, I believe it will be Sidney Cornell, who was the first black paratrooper to participate in the D-Day landings. He inspired characters in COD Vanguard and Overlord, but both misrepresented him and his achievements quite badly.
They did the same thing by including James McNiece, which I thought was a really nice touch.
There was a Sten developed specifically for paratroopers, but it definitely would not be balanced against the FG 42. So any Sten doesn’t work unless you give the Germans an MP34 or something, but people would complain if that happened.
It would have been better if the paratroopers’ equipment could have been freely customizable.
I wanted them to have Sten guns and I wanted the Marine paratroopers in the Pacific to have Johnsons.
Why cant you just put these squads in the tech tree?
I’m so fed up with these constant never ending events.
I not gonna spend my summer grinding for the next event squad after this.
Sure, but this was the exception to the rule. How long did this experiment go on for and which battles could we have seen this happening in?
Also, why not just include the segregated units as free campaign or event squads at this point?
This is awesome! I can’t wait to get my hands on these new squads. I just wish that the German squad had some camo in their helmets and magazine pouches on the uniform to make them look cooler. Thank you devs!
