That is a completely different issue. the M/28 mosin squad and the assault engineers are different squads that suffer from the same problem
I have been wondering about the following since the “big merge”, as it effectively made the historic units designations moot, because those units no longer were bound to their respective theatres of war. → That is units that for example fought in Tunesia can now be fielded in any of the other theatres of war.
So the following comes to mind:
- fellow players already have suggested that customisations for the sides should be “unlocked”, giving players the choice what nationality/subnationality they want to field (i.e. make one’s units British, Italian, Australian, US, USSR, German,…)
I think we should take this one step further and in addition to the above give players the opportunity to actually create custom unit designations to fit their chosen unit nationalities (Simply because the original unit designations make little sense after the merge). This would give appearance change orders another use.
The bad thing of course is that one does see nationalities in places they never fought at, but due to all the changes this is already happening anyway (sad but it is what it is).
Come to think of it what would help against the latter is a “historical accuracy” checkmark in the options. If you do not tick it you will see the player customisations, but if you tick it you will see the original units belonging to that battlefield/theatre of war. That way immersion is not ruined but players also can play with their own units without bothering anyone.

Will there be another announcement for the minor update? Because I find it a little odd that the following were not mentioned at all:
- Ability to change soldier nationality
- Customization improvements
- prefered maps
These were in the road map and it was confirmed by MajorMcDobalds that they are still worked on and planned so will we see any of these in the minor update or these will be part of the major update or we will only see these features much later?

Didn’t I read somewhere that a “prefered maps” setting is going to be in now? Or is it only wishful thinking…
Its not in the patch notes.
Good eve, Please consider adding this vehicle in the allies as an APC

When will there be high explosive or cumulative shells for Samovente 75/32 M41?
In War Thunder they exist.

A 75mm HE flinger would be too powerful for BR 1, it is fine as it is
And the fact that against tanks 75mm is an OP for 1 br is like “okay”
a weird BS rule DF follows even though it makes no sense, but 15.2 damage semi-auto rifles are somehow fine for BR2.

I mean, my downtiered Panzer 3 N disagrees

Yes. They should definitely add this for the regular troops. Even tankers get access to the complete set.

Yep. Looks really cool. Thanks for the information. Appreciate it. 
not sure if that is a bug, or on purpose
the italian machine gun squad (70th machine gun company / 80th infantry division) is missing his italian helmet on normandy map. they got it for berlin but normandy … → not sure if italian soldiers wear german helmets at that time
italian default helmet on berlin
german default helmet on normandy? o.0
AP mines are still useful, I don’t understand you guys

nope, that is a German Fallschirmjäger helmet, not Italian helmet at all.
Italian soldiers (except for premium squads) only wear Italian uniforms in Tunisia and wear German uniforms in every other campaign.
