Let’s face it, this makes the most thematic sense. Also keeps the gun not widely spread while still accessable.
After such addition Guirela squads would probably require some nerfs. Maybe even to the point of adding limitations similar to vehicles.
I don’t know if this is a good idea, I’m just throwing it here for discussion.
Suppressor/silencers even now are rae devices, and first used on shotguns for hunting. Like the first optics were also used the army has in terms of individual soldiers been behind the civilian market. So if you want silenced shotguns go wild but where would they gur silencers for rifles and smgs, hit the police or military who would not be using them outside special forces, improvised suppressors but those would need to degrade. SOrry but the only nerf that would matter is a br increase for any weapon, smg br3 with suppressor not now its br4. If you have any ideas for a nerf for a bot killing class I am all ears.
Weapons could have nerfed stats, be one BR higher as you’ve said, squad may be limited like vehicles, it may get automatically spotted in certain conditions…
There are probably like 10 ways to nerf this thing. Some better some worse.
Also making AI that doesn’t suck, takes cover etc is theoretically an option. But I don’t think Devs will go this far.
Reduced damage or rate of fire glass to see were on the same page, as for smarter bots ok, as for better controlled bots no,
Taking cover yes, better pathfinding so I don’t have my squad sperated by 50 feet. But hold this area attack this area no players need something to kill make unkillable bots and watch game population fall of a cliff
I don’t think making bots not be Uber retarded and not stand in the middle of nowhere waiting for bullets and scrapnel will make them unkillable.
Why ppl are affraid that making bots as smart as a wooden log (currently log is smarter) will automatically make them terminators?
No I did not say smarter I said more controllable, able to make there own choices yes, able to better carry out orders no that would make them terminators.
Hm, maybe? Though personally I think most ppl would be more focused on shooting rather than controlling their bots. Hard to tell without any live tests.
I dont see a reason for the suppressed weapons OR guerrilla squads to be nerfed to be completely honest.
Devs should just add the Suppressed weapons to each tech-tree and ignore historical “accuracy” crowd. Every suggestion from their side makes this game worse. Acting as if we arent going to be seeing suppressed STG and Thompson in every game on new patch with people playing their new premiums is either ignorance or malice against soviet faction specifically, when we could just have TT suppressed weapons for each faction.
Their effect against bots is really not the most powerful thing in the game, its more of a cool implementation.
And the best part is that this PPSh-41 was going to be placed in BR5. The LEAST historically accurate tier. When I assume most of the HA crowd would be playing in BR3 or below to avoid prototypes and use things like M1 Garand and MP40
It wasn’t really about historical accuracy, it was about preserving suppressed weapons uniqueness, adding and suppressed weapons in any factions TT would both cause them to loss that uniqueness and make the A.I more stupid.
It’s a ww2 game, most partisans still used unsuppressed weapons, supressors were sometimes given to partisans, but were still limited to elite units 99% of the time.
Except majority (I think) of guerilla squads aren’t partisans but commandos or other special troops. Because who cares what’s the difference, right devs?
That’s a fair point, however, it would still kind of ruin the unique aspect of supressed weapons. I never bought them, but I would be mad if I bought 4 PPD BraMits and they made supressors free. I would, however, be open to the idea of the supressed 1895 revolver being unlockable, as with skill, (and a slight buff) it could actually be very good, it’s my favourate rally hunting gun. I would honestly not be fully opposed to the 91/30 with supressor either as it (ro my knowledge) was actually produced and used. If any TT supressor if should be that. (Just without the scope and for limited classes such as partisans and a few specialists, radioman, AT gunner, basically any dude that is in a sniper squad.
