Weapons and vehicles of the "Tigers of Burma" update

[xaos]

@James_Grove

TIZ AM-600 (BR II)

One of the most common Soviet military motorcycles, manufactured by the Taganrog Instrument Plant - finally available to USSR commanders!

This version for the army comes with a DP machine gun mounted on the sidecar.

Along with the vehicle you will also get a Biker squad.

@James_Grove

Type-95 “Kurogane” (BR II)

A rather large motorcycle with a sidecar, produced by Nihon Nai-Enki for the Imperial Japanese Army from 1939. It is armed with a Type 89 Te-4 machine gun (with its fixed modification).

This motorcycle allows you to break through enemy lines at high speed and wreak havoc in the rear!

Are you ever gonna make the rider squads useful???
They are a 2 man ‘squad’ for no reason (only the premium motorcycle squads use the seat behing the driver…) and the grind is awfully long for whatever little they provide to the team…

Reduce their grind (to 1/3 of current), add a BR1 option without sidecar (so just the bike and 2 soldiers) and -if you still think that the guerilla greyzone mechanic is good for the game- add it to the rider squads.
Then they will actually become useful and powerful squads, that have a place in the game.

@James_Grove

T26E1-1 (BR V)

Another new arrival that needs no lengthy introduction, the “Super Pershing” - you have been waiting for it to be added to the research tree for a long time, and here it is! The “Super” in its name, in this case, means that the tank is better than its predecessor in every way. The long 90 mm T15E1 cannon can penetrate more than 200 mm of armor, while the welded steel plates, thanks to air pockets, sometimes allow it to withstand even the most powerful shells from German and Japanese tanks.

Great… more awful powercreep at BR5… Where’s any decompression??? Come on, how it’s OK to have tanks that in WT are more than 3 BR brackets apart be together here… Why would i EVER play the BR5 76 sherman, or the Tiger 1E while they are getting stomped by other tanks of the same BR… And i’m not even touching the AR vs smg problem… or planes… We need BR6 in order to get the unbalanced mess that is BR4 vs BR5 vs BR’5’ sorted out.
And if you are worried about japan, just give them the Hino-Komuro M1904 in the TT (and not in a FOMO BS BP) and some AR and they will be fine (a better AT weapon too)

@James_Grove

MG 42 100 (BR V)

@James_Grove

423rd Infantry Regiment with T24 (BR V)

LuL, you are giving the US a premium beltfed MG42? You finally game the germans a 100rnd belt MG42 only to slap it to the americans too? The disrespect LoL!

@James_Grove

RPzB. 43 Ofenrohr (BR IV)

Just NO… captured equipment, and especially rare equipment don’t belong to the enemy’s TT, and the US doesn’t have a big AT issue to need this. Only when you have a big gap to fill, and the weapon was actually captured and used in large numbers, then you can have it in the TT (so the panzerfaust should be here instead).

@TheUnclaimedOne

rolling bunkers that cannot be killed

I disapprove add them too to be honest, but because frankly it will push the power scale to much in BRV

[armornabot555]

Yea no the amount of Stuarts and players using BR 2/3 kit is genuinely concerning at br5. It makes playing against the US at BR 5 feel like a br2 game but maybe one person on the other team has br5 kit.

[TheUnclaimedOne]

@Dirktator_Dirk

maybe tiger is stil better idk)

Yes the Tiger II still outclasses the Super Pershing

[PdT_ColinBraune]

they need now a bether tank to counter thr super pershing, bether smgs. alsou a more manuverebel bomber .

[Willcario]

heavy tank no.6 for japan when

[TheUnclaimedOne]

Min/max’ing Germans are impossible to make happy

[我爱吃狗]

they will seal club japan ofc

[armornabot555]

I’m honestly confused as to why DF added this specific super Pershing. Not only does it have a worse powertrain, but it also has a longer reload since it’s quite frankly a joke to expect one person to load the round.

[robihr]

@robihr

like i said 50 round belts could be linked to any length they wanted. so 250 round belt is usually just 5 linked 50 round belts.

just to further clarify. i already mentioned that longer belts were used in MMG configuration where mg42 was used as fixed emplacement or as vehicle gun. as LMG it used 50 round linkable belts, 50 round drums or 75 patronentrommel drums.

also i hate how MG actually work in this game cause i think that most MG(regardless of nation) should not have more than 50 round belts without being in fixed position.

[TheUnclaimedOne]

Because it’s the most iconic Super Pershing

[AminTheMin1]

@James_Grove

423rd Infantry Regiment with T24 (BR V)

first M3 for soviet now mg42 for us? whats going on?

@James_Grove

MG 42 100 (BR V)

@James_Grove

T26E1-1 (BR V)

nice

@James_Grove

RPzB. 43 Ofenrohr (BR IV)

who needs super bazooka when we can copy stuff for every faction?

[Yuri_Enjoyer]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

because to be fair, i’m not opposed to sidegreads, and well, i do like some of the ones you mentioned.

however, meta or not, are they " really " needed?

These aren’t just mere sidegrades. They provide an objective niche that Germany’s current firearms do not have right now.

The Raketenwerfer has 200+ armor pen so it would be significantly more powerful than the Pak-40 AT gun.

The K/31 used detachable magazines and had a straight pull bolt meaning it fires and loads significantly faster, attach a scope and this thing would be great for BR2 or BR3.

The Wimmersperg Spz had a better fire rate than the STG and was lighter and smaller than it’s original counterpart. In-game this could translate to faster deploy speed and improved stamina.

The M1916 would be a drastic improvement over the G43 and ZH-29 due to it’s 20 round box mags.

The MG-81 has a fire rate of 1600 rpm and used large 250 belts. This is everything the in-game MG-42 wishes it could be and the double barrel variant could absolutely shred apart infantry considering it’s original AA purposes.

[kunkun1192]

It is nice to be able to equip the U.S. with an assault rifle that is easy to use.
The Thompson .30 caliber is my favorite, but it’s time for an update.

[Hanxi_Channel]

Is this one not a balance problem but more a matchmaking one? This situation also happened for Germany and USSR (I didn’t play Japan for a while). Things can reverse if matchmaking system put Pz. IV and M26 together.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

@U45N-Benathor

But people that play Germans want new stuff to keep things interesting just like everyone else.

well, just like japan and the us from alot of updates, they can just learn to wait a bit longer for events, or other updates containing sidegrades.

us literally survived for the most part through premies, later introduction which were much needed, and japan starved from a long time.

no one is entitled to anything.
especially when we have factions that aren’t really equal to others.

beside, you can just… sit back and enjoy the toys you have earned.

want something new? mods are there for everyone to keep them selves busy.

( i reccomend that. it’s what i did. and the editor truly keeps your self busy up until updates ).

complaining about not getting stuff when you have planty of tools to play with, serves no one.
even your self.

( but as stated, you are free to point that out if you think it’s an issue. a bit weird… considering in the last few months, we literally got more toys. but whatever. you do you ).

@U45N-Benathor

The USA for example has the best CAS by far.

which in the future can be adjusted or new planes introduced accordingly.

there’s always enough time.

@TheUnclaimedOne

Min/max’ing Germans are impossible to make happy

well, ugh…

no offense, but you’re not that far off different from them with some of the opinions and logic that you use.

like everytime someone tries to make a german suggestion, you just bust in and say no. to then leave without any meaningfull conversation.

and when you do;

" they don’t deserve them ".

" effe them ".

not… entirely any better if i have to be honest.

as someone who plays all factions, i think everything could, and should be implemented as long makes sense( even if it doesn’t, devs will anyway ). especially if not stronger / meta. but cutsey sidegrades.

hell i’m like a radical lefty of modern us politics but for gameplay.

diversity and inclusion is good.
( i’m primarily speaking for gameplay though )

[Yuri_Enjoyer]

I still want my Nebelwerfer or R4M rocket pod mounted onto a cargo truck or my BF-109, JU-88 and ME-410 with Werfer Granate 21.

TO BE FAIR, I am almost never serious and do that for my own amusement

But everything else you’re saying I second

[我爱吃狗]

@ErikaKalkbrenner

21 rockets might be a bit too much.

that’s the designation for the rockets
it’s not 21 rockets

[armornabot555]

Right but DF could easily add both - as more T26E3s were converted, it goes to TT and the one T26E1 that was converted should be premium/event.
