not quite. stg44/mp44 had very minors updates over mp43. one of which was the possibility to attach a grenade launcher… So minor it’s true they’re ALMOST the same.
But in game, they definitely are not. devs decided the stg44 (found in Normandy) has 50 rof more, and slightly less dispersion and recoil. Now, in game world again only, Soviets already have the Fedorov, which is arguably better than Normandy stg44…
And you want Soviets to have it first, before Berlin Axis? Really sounds unreasonable… Larping as Volks is fun and all, but when Soviets can larp ss (with captured stg44) better than Germs themselves… It’s silly.
Edit: just realized we were talking about mp43 /1… yeah, it’s a mp43 that got converted to stg44 standard. basically same thing. It’s just in game that all stats are different…
Yea but Stg-44 for germans 100% will be added as lvl 39-40 unlock, and soviets have nothing else to add for them other than trophy alternatives or prototype AS-44.
Nobody cares, this game has long left any even remotely historical accuracy limitations. Even removed that part from game description some months ago btw. Just check late Moscow levels or rd-44 as good example or where it’s going.
In fact, China mainly copied Germany’s rifles (which used in the First World War). At that time, the government was weak, and it was difficult to manufacture more complex weapons
i think fedorov could stay in campaigns like moscow, but imo it should have a only a bit more vertical recoil to it
Devs came up with fedorov and be like …maan this needs to be everywhere and it will be the most powerful weapon soviets have
Nevertheless soviets dont need direct counter for stg44 that would copy past Stg44 in everything
Also making Fedorov or AVT artifficially with less recoil than they should have so it can counter Stg44 is stupid, just like giving a two SMGs with same caliber but totally different hit power for the sake of ballance
in berlin i would do it like this: less germans on the map with more potent weapons, more soviets on the map with less potent but more realistic weapons no fedorov or RD44 shitspam in berlin
Why does this guy need to come up with such horrible ideas every day? One time he suggest to reduce the recoild of the PPSh-41 next day he demands the StG44 for the soviets. I mean this is just hilarious.
