As long as the game continues, new content will always be added, so adding more new Tier 5 guns to the US is probably inevitable.
What kind of things will be added and how to balance them with the other camps, though, is something that needs to be considered.
Fair point, I guess it just comes to show how impossible balance really is in this game.
I mean, DF added Tiger II (H) to Germany when US had nothing to counter it, the merged had already been announced months ago by that point, how no one even considered that would be unfair?
We are THE COUNTRY with the most plane to counter german tank you forgot.
Japan should get a Type Hei 10rndr at tier 3 or 4; have it be stripper clip fed…
maybe add a type Ko as well.
as for the subject of the thread; I dislike the FG-42, and the AVT variants as a concept; ideally the FG-42’s should just be a Gunner Weapon as they are basically ultralight near-bullpup BAR’s or ZB-26’s designed for paratroopers;
the johnson LMG is also frankly not adequate for the kind of gameplay gunners should be doing. (though, like the BAR it seems adequate for how they’re actually used)…
edit: forgot my point in editing; silly me
US equivalents for the STG-44 and FG-42 would probably be the t-20 and M2; though those feel inadequate in some regards, though I’m not sure it matters, T5 is a bit of a silly gamemode altogether.
Ehhh, don’t even mention that bad joke.
I simply refuse to talk about it so I don’t end up like wastedwoodman.
All you need to know about my opinion that Im willing to make any compromise to stop that plane spam.
this would work more/better if the spotting/marking system were adequate, and there were voice coms to say “I SEE A TANK” so your pilots knew to look for a tank, ideally around an area.
something like this, with a mandatory “new info” thing so everyone sees it.
I think it would be simpler to just make the AVT-36 and AVS-40 start on semi auto; or ideally have the player who attempts to switch to full auto get assaulted by a commisar for wasting ammo.
Make the M2 carbine an assault rifle and add something as a BR5 rifle.
I don’t see the point of adding a prototype plane that is not even in War Thunder, when US literally had similar plane like A-26 in service and in War Thunder.
Soviets should be able to equip SMGS like PPSh-41 on any trooper. They were mass produced and supplied from many factories including Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moscow then during battles they were moved east. During Battle of Berlin they were most widely used weapon (ofc not all of them were drums since they were prone to malfunctions).
Let me play PPSh-41 drum on Moscow maps again
I wouldn’t be against it. It would definitely make Soviet end game unique.
Also soviets should get operation bagration maps for high br. I cant imagine how boring soviet high tier is currently with only urban maps
I want Leningrad maps it could be used for low br and especially high br. Low BR can be obviously start of the operation with movement through Russia around the Leningrad, for BR5 we should get non urban places like Moscow campaign maps they can have some villages, small towns or just forests with valleys and rivers. Leningrad–Novgorod offensive of 1944 would be great since it has all of it
You could make a dozens maps just about this single operation (for BR3-5 ofc)
There was also Operation Polar Star (1943) and Battle of Narva (1944).
Also khalkin gol and manchuria so japan can fight ussr
The Daisy Mae has seen more combat than the M1944 Hyde Carbine and is stronger.
Frankly, I’d like a Garand in that void, with Winchester’s prototype pistol grip and detachable magazine for fully automatic fire.
It is an automatic weapon that uses full-size rifle rounds, the equivalent of the FG42 or AVT for the U.S. Like the T20.
This should be a weapon available to all riflemen.
I know the Hyde carbine has been proposed many times, but I think this would be an equivalent weapon to the StG44 because it uses .30 carbine rounds. Therefore, the Hyde carbine would suit its status as a new weapon for assaults.
U.S. automatic rifles - Suggestions - Enlisted
But it is using the same cartridge that the M2 Carbine is shooting. The M2 Carbine might as well be allowed for the assaulter class and avoid the effort of creating and then adding a new gun.
It would be fun to make the M2 an assault weapon, but it would be more fun to keep the M2 and give each country a full auto weapon that uses relatively medium sized ammunition similar to that of the M2.
Germany can give the MkB42 back to the riflemen and engineers as Adam said.
…Btw, I still don’t understand why the developers made it an assault weapon in the merge. What was the balance they were trying to achieve?
Why only MkB when riflemen can already use AVT, FG42, M2 carbine…
In that case I have no idea what to give the USSR and Japan…
Maybe the Soviets should make the Ppsh41 a weapon that can be used by all classes? lol
Because that was literally an assault weapon before the merge. The Stalingrad engineer can use them was just a special case.
