… Tunisia arrives??
A nice thing would be to move any in people’s Normandy inventory to Tunisia as a complete lot, and replace them with the same number and star US/German weapons.

Hopefully we can get some answers once the devs release their answers to our questions
Personally I’d rather see more rather than less variety in weapons, and instead see British / Canadian squads added to the Normandy campaign allied side.

I strongly agree. US has the PIAT and its reload time is 3 seconds, German pistol is like 7 seconds and its trash. PIAT was a British weapon not a US. The USA needs a Bazooka, and a panzerfaust for Germans

Please stop giving the Germans italian/ czech weapons also, the Germans should get the STG as the final gun for the Assault Class. The current Italian one is much worst than FG42
The game need more antagonist factions like Japanese, Italians, not Germans for all 4 Campaigns…
I’d assume Panzerfaust and Bazooka will be weapons for Bomber 2’s, whenever another round of higher campaign levels gets added to normandy.
When the British gets added they would have to remove the PIAT though. Imo its better to replace the PIAT with the Bazooka, and let Germany get the Panzerfaust on later campaigns. So US get the advantage early which is fine for me imo, but german one since its stronger it should be in late campaign
Why would they have to remove the PIAT, though? Again, just add in some British / Canadian squads to the Normandy campaign, and I wouldn’t see why anyone would complain outside of the really hardcore historical accuracy types and people who have beef with the UK.
The PIAT is better than the earlier bazookas anyway. It wasn’t until the issuing of M6A3 rockets that the Bazooka became the better anti-tank weapon.
Given the current game structure any additional squads would have to be premium or “Type III” - there is no place to add new squad types otherwise.
If they did that it would be just another idiocy, not an improvement.
We’ve already had it confirmed that Axis is getting a Panther for Normandy, and several other vehicles like TDs are in the files. I think it’s safe to assume Normandy will see 40-50 campaign levels by the time they’re done with it. So additional squads probably won’t be ruled out.
I agree that it’s not an improvement, and there should just be different squads for leveling up various weapons and the like without an actual separation of types, with that said.
My prediction
Wait for tunisia with brithish armed with france-usa rifle and use stuart and sherman
Instead for german they use only italian wapons with they own veichels for variety
It looks kinda of off because I am a Brit myself, and it should belong to the PIAT, i get the British also fought in Normandy with the US. In that case they should be an Exclusive Squad for the US Campaign, seeing every US soldier running around with PIAT is kinda immersive breaking.
Also, the PIAT is actuall the stronger anti tank weapon than the Bazooka, so with the Bazook being unlocked for later levels would make no sense mate
The PIAT is stronger than the early bazookas, but once the M6A3 HEAT rocket was introduced for the bazooka, the bazooka had equal or better penetration than the PIAT. This was the standard issue for the M9 bazooka, which should more or less be confirmed for normandy going by old development blogs; “Invasion of Normandy”: Soldiers and weapons - News - Enlisted
The main advantage to the Bazooka is travel time and range compared to the PIAT, as well as it’s flat arc, making it easier to aim. So assuming they give us an M9 with M6A3 HEAT, the bazooka makes sense as a higher level anti-tank weapon. (There’s also the whole possibility of alternate fire types for the bazooka, like the white phosphorous smoke rounds mentioned in that devblog, which the PIAT didn’t really have.)

They could also simply change cosmetics and names of the current squads to make them accurate to the weapons that are unlocked alongside them. So it would be British squad to unlock PIAT for example.
That way there would be much more accurate and other nations than US would get their recognition without adding countless campaign levels.
