Swap some weapons from the tech tree and premium squads/battle pass

These are AS-44 and T-20 from technical tree.

This is BP and premium versions.

Tech tree versions have an obvious advantage in the form of a bayonet. But why? Both premium and BP appeared before the tech tree versions, and for obvious reasons they are much less common. It’s a bit unfair to people who bought this weapon, which appeared in the tech tree some time later, and the public version is better than the unique one. I suggest swapping the versions with and without a bayonet. The bayonet is more useful than it seems, it increases the chance of survival when the magazine is empty and gives the ability to charge without switching to a melee weapon.

Not only would this be fair to those who own a premium squad and a unique weapon from the battle pass, but it would also be good for balance, because some factions do not have assault rifles and automatic rifles with bayonets.

As for the Type Hey automatic rifle, it would be stupid to add a shield version to the upgrade. So I just suggest removing the bayonet for balance reasons.

I also suggest removing the bayonet from the AVT 40 with a 20-round magazine, but leaving it for the 15-round version. The bayonet will be a small compensation for the smaller number of rounds in the magazine.

You can also put a bayonet on the FG for the event squad of German paratroopers. (I would gladly suggest doing this for the premium squad, but I have never seen a bayonet on the Krieghoff FG)

FG - 421

There is also a version without a bayonet.

Next come some swaps that may seem contradictory to some.

I suggest swapping the Hurricane SMG and the partisan MP-40.

The Hurricane is a very rare weapon. If I’m not mistaken, it was produced in one copy. Unlike the rather mass trophy in the form of the MP-40. And I think it’s strange that a single weapon is in that tree, and the trophy, which was armed very massively in the premium squad.

I would also like to suggest several options for replacing the Fёdorov rifle.

The first option is the Degtyarёv rifle.

Why do I think this weapon is better suited for the tech tree? Although there is no documented evidence of its use in the army, searchers have managed to find remains of this weapon in battle sites.

The second option is SKS-30.

Nobody knows the Fёdorov rifle, but everyone knows the SKS. It seems to me that it is more closely associated with the Red Army than this legacy of the WWI.

Honestly, I struggle to find an issue with the suggestion, especially a fan of the MP40 and hurricane swap, however the logistics of it might be very hard to pull off.

As for the SKS-30, I would love to see it in the TT, there is the premium squad with it, however those are scoped so it should be fine to add as is.

I also think that everything will be just great if we leave the sniper version of the SVD-30 to the premium squad and add the version without optics to the tech tree.

This squad will still remain quite unique only due to the fact that they are sniper-radio operators with the ability to call in rocket artillery. Where else have you seen such a crazy combination?

and it should stay that way. making premiums noticeably better than TT just feels pay to win

They do, but they bayonets are missing or unimplemented. Both FG42s have folded in bayonets, and the MKB-42(H) has a bayonet lug. Downgrading TT weapons to be “fair” rather than giving the weapons their historical bayonet is one of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard.

However, a well-upgraded regular squad will always be more effective in combat than a similar premium one. Unless we are talking about squads of five machine gunners.

Doesn’t change that making premium weapons straight upgrades is scummy. The cope is insane

Okay. People who spent four gold cards (which is a lot freaking of) on T-20 feel cheated and that’s very good and fair. I get it.

I understand buyers remorse. I think all of us have bought a gold order or premium we’ve regretted. But deciding to beg the devs to retroactively downgrade the TT versions so you can have something special is not a good response to that

When this was just happening, I asked to return the gold cards. No one did. I’m sure there were those who asked to return the money for the unit with the AS-44. And the AVT version with a 20-magazine should be somehow worse than the 15-magazine version. What difference does it make that you can attach a bayonet to it if it was never a real weapon that was actually used in war. The same goes for the automatic type hey. As well as the T-20 and AS-44. Although for them I do not suggest taking away the bayonet that can be attached to them, but only changing the model with the ability to install a bayonet and the model without this ability.

Small update.
