I did get it downloaded and did a quickie test on the Hyde. Sounds and shoots kind of like a Thompson. I am not sure how much I am going to do since I am lazy and don’t want to reprogram all the keyboard buttons again, so I am doing just the basics like shooting guns.

Finally someone posted sights for T24, thanks.

Oh that’s an interesting one. Like a zoomed out M1918 or something. Looks odd but I can get behind it
For those who enjoy planes: in the new Tu-2S we can control all 3 gunners.
Other planes of other nations still have only 1 controllable gunner.
I made a bug report, it was closed as not a bug, controllable gunners for all planes is “planned” (it already was).
So for now, only the new USSR BR 5 bomber has all controllable gunners available in the game.

Yes, it’s not a bug. But when the rear gunner update was released, they said they would eventually implement the ability to use all gunners for all aircraft in future.

Correct. I’m just very surprised that it’s implemented in just one plane for now, and not in all other planes!
Personally, it’s acceptable for me. But higher than STG44, for example.

That is huge. Now let’s imagine if they could implement that same idea also for tank hull MGs.

Well, some tanks do have hull MGs (mostly Japanese and some German TDs) and it’s not worth to use them.
I’d like the machine gunner to be useful. I’m perfectly ok for it to be an AI controller gunner so it can almost be a threat to some enemies in front of me while I’m looking elsewhere

It’s the first test I’ve been able to play for scheduling reasons.
My main interest was Burma. It’s near impossible to tell how a map will play on a populated server during test (which is often full bot match, at most 3 - 4 total players for both teams).
So, skipping how it plays, Burma is beautiful. The map is detailed, seems well thought out and I have no complaints after playing it all day (I had the day off, coincidentally). I mostly played it at BR2 but some matches at BR5.
Hyde… is nice. But it’s no STG or Federov or AS-44 from what I felt. It looks like a Thompson, sounds like a Thompson and plays like a (good) Thompson. It’s nowhere near OP from what I can tell. Just my first impression. It’s crazy that every time a new weapon is coming, people complain that it will be game breaking and it’s just… not. Or dev’s cave and make sure it’s not. How’s that new Winchester battle pass semi-auto doing? Ruining many lives? I think not.

Yeah the Burma map sure is beautiful.
I only tried it twice so far, both times there was storm, it was dark, lightning and wind and the streetlights and lights in buildings were on.
I watched some other gameplay where it was sunny and bright, looked amazing.
The layout of the map I believe will support massive fights and heavy warfare, prepare for more PTSD 
I thought if felt like another imitation Thompson when using it, but it definately falls below the StG and the AS-44 IMOP. When the Hyde is out, I will probably get a couple, but most likely will stick with the Thompson 50 as for me it does not seem like a better weapon.
They complained before it was nerfed.
Original stats:
well, Thompson 50 is not good. Thompson box is nice.
I need more time to say. I had some luck at distance with Hyde but it sure is no STG or similar.
Sad that people ranting got it classified as and AR. It doesn’t feel like one.

yeah, and now it’s just kind of… OK. And that’s unfortunate.
At best, it felt like the NKVD Thompson with a way smaller mag. At best. That’s not bad, but I’d take an STG, Federov or AS-44 over it.
Time may change my opinion but that’s how it felt to me.
I think its recoil should be reduced to feel more like other ARs. Beside that, I think it’s completely reasonable stat wise.

Yes.
Did it not just seem like Thompson XX.X to you?
Did it seem nearly as good as the NKVD Thompson?
