i agree. but HA train has left this game long time ago.
problem is that early war weapons are heavily unbalanced. ffs fedorov, ppsh41, svt40, t34, t50, garand, thompsons, KV1, KV2 are all early war weapons. and what does germany have to counter it? short barrel 75 tanks? kar98k? mp40? or maybe g41(w) that had very limited quantities made, was prone to malfunctioning and was hard to maintain? german troops would rather use capture svt40 than g41(w).
yes i see how good experience would be if we listened to your suggestion. and this was told to you multiple times and you still insist that it is “good idea”.
dont give yourself importance that you dont have. i have been doing this for ~10 months whenever someone mentions half-assed HA idea. you are just the one who is going around numerous topics and putting these shit ideas, so i am disproving them when i see it. if you actually wanted real HA mode, i would even support it. but not these fantasy ideas that you are ok with some obsolete, fantasy, limited or time traveling weapons, but you are not ok with others.
personally i enjoy higher difficulty battles. they are enjoyable whether i win or lose. before it was one sided roflstomps based on the side of campaign you choose (well besides normandy which was somewhat even).
and yeah i am for another queue cause BR3 doesnt have anything to search for in BR5 nor in BR1.
Then how would you do real HA mode. Mostly bolt actions? Or certain weapons being limited which personally I wouldn’t mind? How would you go about it? And keep I’d rather keep this civil.
Because if there’s any idea you have for a real HA mode, then I’d be more than happy to hear, perhaps we can push the idea enough for it to be a game mode.
Yeah perhaps if there’s only preset squads in the early and mid wars like these and then I’d be happy to see a game mode like this. And if people don’t like it and then they can go back to the base game.
for this to work you would need much larger maps cause balance of tanks isnt even that important if you can flank. only when game forces you in frontal tank confrontations is that you get heavy unbalance. also cause of weapon imbalance they could introduce player advantage cause rarely you had even fights in ww2. e.g. d-day had 2 allied soldier for every axis soldier.
more or less you would basically need to implement whole new game for HA to work and i think HLL looks something like that.
Though I do feel that riflemen (meaning bots) need to be much more accurate with bolt actions then they are in the game. And you should be able to command your machine gunners to mount their mg and anything that goes in their line of vision gets beamed if placed at just the right angle.
funnily enough…IMO opinion…Historcialy built squads would have brought the better balance people were looking for… WOuld have helps to solve over abundance of weapons and spam.
Would also probably make it alot slower paced game, something remotely like HLL.
But since this game lacks about everything HLL has I dont really see it as working option.
Lonewolf ( What ever it was ) could be fun with HA setup
I have another idea. Make the top tier guns that were at first available in the early war campaigns useable on those low tiers however those guns are limited to two per squad (except the avt 40).And then rarer guns like the fedorov only be one or two per rotation (meaning all the squads together). And then if it’s more than 2 a high tier gun and then they’re taken into high tier again. And then make the queues organized into 3 queues. Tiers 1-3 and 3-4 and then 4-5. So that way if someone who has 2 ave’s for instance in each squad and then someone can counter them with semi auto rifles still. Or if you want to bump it down to 1 high tier smg per squad then that’s fine.
i was always of opinion that first 20-25 levels of every campaign were more or less balanced. unbalanced shit happens when they added loads of weapons that were in that campaign but were vastly OP. and then they needed to add various fantasy weapons to keep the balance for both sides.
the ship has sailed but That really powerful high level equipment needed a gate on it to make it fit in with the rest, not replace it.
By gate I perhaps mean Like A veteran squad slot in your deck. Can only have one, but certain weapons are only available to your veteran squad. very limited availability.
those are the layouts made by those who sit in offices, you may find that on the ground it was very much for the soviets what ever they had ammo for, americans what ever they could replace when what they had was damaged, but the germans kept mostly to the table or organization
source? cause i havent seen any source mentioning anything about zh29 or zh32 being used by germans. they were never mass produced and i have only seen weapon orders for china and ethiopia with trial rifles sent to several other countries. lithuania had some for its police force but idk if it was prewar or captured postwar weapons.
some sources quote ~600 made while others say that it was higher cause of orders to different countries. i havent found any source that claims exact number produced with 100% certainty.
i know that situation in field was different then theoretical squads. but it wasnt completely different. soldiers use most effective weapons they can get their hands on and for which they have ammo for.
Personally never seen any picture / document but could be, for example wiking had kp-31’s.
If i recall something something prevented foreigners to join wehrmacht so SS was the place to go and due to that there was quite variety in weapons.
I think germany put captured weapons back in use in somewhat large scale.
officially ussr for example didnt really do this with small arms prob due to logistic issues.
Inviduals most likely could & would carry what ever.
