The Polish People's Army in the game

I propose to add an event squad of Polish stormtroopers to the USSR nation. The squad will consist of 4 stormtroopers, 1 assault engineer, and 1 soldier to choose from, and the default weapon will be the PPSh-41 or the sectoral PPSh-41 from the research, which allows you to change the weapon.
The squad will be named “1st Polish Infantry Division named after Tadeusz Kosciuszko”

I like Poles, but I don’t think it’s such a good idea to add them to either axis or soviet side, as both were absolutely disgusting to them…

Seeing how the company is pro censorship and unbelievably afraid of historical decals/logos/pictures coupled with foreign politics (probably why there might not be a chinese faction in the future) I doubt it would work well.

I mean I agree, however adding a unit that historically fought for the soviets to the soviets should be fine. Though I think it would need a balancing factor of having the Free polish for the allies and maybe even an ostruppen squad for the germans.

But yes as you said, for a company that is so cowardly we cant even get faction decals, I dont see it happening atm.

I like historical stuff, but I feel like this would be playing with fire…

I know Polish people greatly suffered both because of axis and Soviets…

Maybe like you say free Pole resistance squad for allies would be best. But I’d never pair them with either axis nor soviets :thinking:


What do you mean I’m already having a Chinese faction all I need is few skins and decals and my assaulter team to have the ability to use same customization as the rifleman Chinese squad :smiley:

Hope next year Chinese event gonna be sniper squad:

I mean use an actual Polish army unit for the allies, they fought everywhere they could, from Africa to Normandy to Italy, as long as they were killing germans they were happy.

But I think an Ostruppen unit and a soviet unit would be fine too, I mean we cant deny it happened, sure I mean, most people who fought for the soviets were in fact oppressed by the soviets.

I prefer an engineer or machine Gunner squad instead, not a big fan of snipers

wait its not the lack of almost any
tanks
planes
lacking truly original or real domestic weapons
limit of even many variants of foreign weapons
almost all weapons being exact duplicates of us or Japanese weapons most captured or donated
still even with all copy paste peeking at br3
find a weapon that say from china and not
from x other country or based on x countries weapon
or heck a weapon that is not in game or almost identical to one in game

also try to include china without pointing out it was the nationals not the communists that did most of the fighting

Well yes it’s what I meant by

They probably just want to stay away from that bomb.

I was thinking about swapping the Chinese voiceover for Polish one with a mod and pretending the Chinese squad is actually Polish, as the Poles actually fought in North Africa and 1944-45 Europe and would make much more sense than the Chinese (with all due respect to them).

Such a mod would take a lot of work though, so maybe one day

Yes, we need this. I don’t think this will be a problem, this is not about powerful governments like China, Russia or the US, so the company shouldn’t worry.

Personally I really want Poland added to the game in some way.

Either as their own nation within a France-Poland-Belgium-Netherlands tech tree (see my post on that)

OR

within the USA-UK tech tree.

In an ideal world USA and UK-Commonwealth wouldve been separated so that UK-Commonwealth could have additions like Free Polish, Greek Army, Norway etc.

For Polish in the Allies we actually dont need much. To my knowledge Free Polish soldiers used standard British battledress. All we need is POLAND written on the side (same option should be available for CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND etc.)

Ive previously suggested adding Polish and Czech names occasionally to ‘British’ soldiers in recognition of the Free Poles and Free Czechs who fought in the British armed forces.

Ive also requested Tobruk be added many times. We have an Italian Tobruk squad, it’s a very famous and important battle, would provide much needed variety for desert maps and would be an opportunity for Australian, New Zealand, Free Polish, Free Czech and British Indian soldiers to be added. (either as squads or customisation options).

As for the original post, I mean, I’m not against it entirely. I actually suggested in my FR-PO-BENE post that the faction could queue alongside USSR (Allies) in Berlin maps as Polish soldiers (I believe they were the first into Berlin?)

But ultimately I would want advice from any Polish Enlisted players. Would they be comfortable with a Polish squad in the USSR tech tree, or indeed a Polish squad in the Axis tree?
If there were Allied Polish squads could we have the above two options?

Free Polish in USA-UK tech tree should be top priority OR a France-Poland-Netherlands faction. (Poland fought from 1939-1945 after all and they are the reason most of the world went to war in 1939/40).

For pure gameplay Id be open to Polish squad in USSR, would be nice to have more variety, but yeah, up to actual Polish people to decide that I think.
