Remove German AT from non german/italian nations!

Enlisted is supposed to be a depiction of a WW2 game, yet this immersion gets broken once every nation starts running around with german weapons to “equalize” the battlefield and thus “balancing” the game.

The germans aren’t very strong AT wise in the low tiers with only the sturmpistole being slightly effective as a stopgap to the panzerfaust. however once they do reach the panzerfaust and then on to the ofenrohr this advantage is completely negated by the fact that Darkflow has just decided to give these weapons out like candy to all other nations.

the soviets and the allies get m1 bazooka’s early on which i don’t mind being a realistic depiction and all altough the soviets should preferably have these later on seeing their introduction.
but then suddenly the soviets get the panzerfaust 60 & 100 which were only used in small numbers at the end of the war in concentrated areas but are readily available for all players to unlock. This also completely negates the later war armour advantage the Germans get since this allows soviet players to hunt with ease.

But what’s even more strange to me is why America and Japan get the Ofenrohr, considering that America has plenty of home produced AT weaponry like the m1 & m9 bazooka and the piat. Japan never really receiving anything from germany shouldn’t receive this at all.

this isn’t some historical follow through it’s just “equalizing” the floor so that it is wheel chair accessible for the vegtables that play this game.

And the crazy thing is that the paratrooper squads get this as well.
the only nation outside of germany that should contend for receiving their AT weapons should be italy as being a closer ally to germany.

I don’t get why nations don’t have their own unique doctrine strengths like IRL.
Germans have good MG’s, tanks and anti tank.
Soviets have good mortars, smg’s, tanks and decent CAS.
Americans have decent tanks, good AT, good squad weapons and great CAS.

i would think of it more balanced and fun if every nation had a play style according to their strengths and weaknesses instead of them being an identical play style.

they won’t do

GrB is better. Dunno why bothering with the Pistole.

Dunno, the Panzerfaust and Ofenrohr were used a lot across factions… excluding Japan I guess.

Yeah The Soviets received like couple of Bazookas but the thousands of Panzerfausts they captured later are too much and not realistic.
And I dont know what the last part means but I guess it means something stupid.

Wrong.

Which are already ingame and suck ass against Tiger 2s.

It keep baffling me how little people, who claim to care about “history”, know about history.

Also, this system is stupid since (even ignoring historical reasons):

  • Japan is missing. Fuck Japan.
  • Mortars are all the same in terms of calibre and performance and interesting take that Soviets are better despite their heavy mortars not being ingame.
  • Squad weapons is just MG, making GE vs US even less balanced because nothing in your genius balance is able to counter CAS.
  • This does not reflect BR.

I hope so.

And what they Will be using if panzerfausts are deleted from their storage?

Rocks?

Germany should get faust 150 and 250 at BR5. That’s all they need. And Japan needs faust 60 at BR3 since they have to fight Sherman and soon will be forced to fight vs KV-1

This is a video game, game balance is the most important factor. The Allies losing their captured high tier AT weapons would make things absurdly unbalanced due to just how oppressive tanks can be to go against.

Also implying that this negates the high tier German tank advantage is absurd considering the limited effective range of high tier infantry AT weapons.

Unless some form of historical balancing is used - eg Axis in 1944-45 get only 1 tank… per game, and every US/UK squad can instantly substitute a P-47 or Typhoon/Tempest or any allied Tank or TD…

USSR squads can only substitute T34/85… but any number of times…

THEN you can take away the German AT from them :slight_smile:

that will ruin the fun

Damn I didn’t know that tanks died when you shoot them with anti-tank weapons, thanks for enlightening me to this totally not at all obvious fact!

Sure if every players started with two vehicle slots otherwise most players have a tank. meaning the cap allied advantage is largely negated. Second without German tech most allied at infantry weapons are useless against gray zone axis tanks. The super bazooka is far inferior to the offender. So will go do some stuffy on ww2 amwrican zooks.

Yes

Except that the maps are extremely cramped

Sure. I’d like the experience. Better than playing against cloned nations with every match being the same

Sadly, I don’t think they will ever be removed from those nations.

The best case scenario is that they’re going to be remade into legacy stuff. And replaced with something more unique faction specific.

Most if not all maps are set up to allow tanks to operate at fairly long ranges.

You seem to not understand what effective range means, Faust 100 can kill Tigers easily at ranges above of it’s recommended 100m. They can be destroyed instantly with rockets coming from any directions, tanks were never this weak.

Not for Soviets. A lot of maps in Stalingrad, Berlin and Rzvev force tanks to come closer to the objective and sometimes through a narrow streets where they get destroyed instantly. Tigers are just worthless and a silver pinata when i’m carrying a panzefaust if it’s one of those maps or objectives.
