It can also be like the Solothurn which can’t be used unless it is mounted. That would be quite interesting. However, I am not exactly familiar as to how these heavy shaped grenade charges work.

I would be an very nice add but they have lots of work to do before being added so since it seems we don’t have much info. I’m sadly afraid that since japan visited and buy out some german weapon they get another Rpzb copy …

oh yeah forgot this good one even if i’m not mistaken the ap round is pretty troll ?
don’t know what other light tank could be add other one like luchs or covenanter aren’t as good as we could use maybe some hungarian or frankenstein romanian tank
We we’re talking about some alias to the panzerfaust for the russian they got some launcher like the BRPG-44 wich launch an RPG-6 AT grenades
The LPG-44 wich launch a 70 mm grenade
and the RPG-1 wich started in the start of 45’s with a penetration of 150 and adopted in 46
So we can easily replace the panzerfaust and we shouldn’t deviate to much in history even if they are sadly prototype for some. But since we have fedorov, T20 and other … why not
Thank you for this post. I agree.
It is especially annoying when weapons that belong to certain factions arent in that tech tree eg Lewis gun for Allies, Mathilda and Valentine tank also for Allies.
There are also various interesting proper weapons that are excluded from the game, while DF claims it needs to include all these BS prototype stuff.
I understand adding factions, sub factions and so forth is a big ask but the Commonwealth countries (eg South African Reider automatic SMLEs), France, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, the BENELUX countries, even Spain or Portugal, Id rather get real weapons from those then ultra late war prototypes, drawing board concepts, postwar stuff or copy pastes between trees “cause captured” or “cause lend lease”.
Note When I say Spain Portugal for example, I dont mean add those as factions, subfactions or even squads. Just like instead of giving Axis Soviet tech or BS prototypes, maybe theres a weapon or two from those countries that could fill that gap? (there was a Spanish legion that fought with the Wehrmacht)

with a rate of fire of 600 rpm ?
Which one is this?
let me laugh 
I’m just sure that no one will play on M9 or T24 or M4 Sherman
The US 82nd Airborne Division captured Panzefäuste in the invasion of Sicily, and they like them so much they even deployed with them in Operation Market Garden. They later captured an ammunition dump near Nijmegen full of them, and continued to use them to the end of the war.
By the start of 1945, the Red Army began capturing so many Panzerfäuste that in February 1945 Georgy Zhukov actually issued an official directive that recommended their use.
These weren’t just things that were captured occasionally and used incidentally, they were captured in the thousands (more like in the hundreds of thousands for the Soviets) and used by units until the end of the war. For the Panzerfäust, it is more than realistic for the Allies and the Soviets to be able to use them.
As for other captured weapons, the Allies never actually used the RPzB 43, but the Soviets did. So while it would make some sense if the Soviets got them, it makes absolutely no sense that the Allies get them instead of just getting Panzerfäuste.
If we base our argument that if it was captured and used it should be in the tech tree then the Germans should have pretty much all the allied weapons on their tech tree, end of the argument.

Did the highest levels of German command issue directives that actually instructed them to use those captured weapons though? Did one of the most decorated German units capture so many of them that they used them en-masse for years?
Agreed. I believe there was evidence posted of Japan capturing lots of British/Commonwealth weapons at Singapore some of which were provided to Japanese friendly Indian or local Asian/Pacific allies.
So… I guess just import all British weapons to Japanese tech tree then… “cause captured”
On a serious note though they could actually make a premium of M13 Italian tanks in UK tree with white kangaroos as used by Australians (we actually did use captured Italian tanks against the Axis)

I actually would be all for Japan getting captured British, French, and Dutch weapons, because early in the war they actually did capture a lot.

Damn. That would be so bad. As I have mentioned previously I hate this entire copy paste thing. This way the factions keep losing their uniqueness and appeal.

Thompson, Bar, Garand, T20 ?

True. But I kind of expect them to atleast make the effort to model a M20 Super Bazooka in-game.

Germany did not have any need to use PPSH over MP40 since it was an excellent SMG.
The issue is instead that German troop doctrine was heavily building on Rifles and MGs instead of SMGs - which is why you see PPSH being used especially during Stalingrad, where German infantry was forced to fight in close ranges.

aren’t you counter telling you ? they have used it as much as possible, but yes mostly during cqc conflict wich where a lot in urss it wasn’t rare that german change their mp 40 to ppsh due to the lack of firepower in cqc
then why did they use svt 40 and dp 28 ?
mp40 was a good smg indeed
