There are Army planes in-game and… they take off from aircraft carriers and… against US Army planes that developed from air.
I remembered that before merge someone reported (in Russian so cannot quote) that some planes should not take off from carriers, and the reply was “This is for Balance”.
There are two-three people here who are not happy, not all axis mains at once (me included). It is great that axis got the long deserved 100rd mg, the update is big and there is a lot of content, BUT:
-
Axis/germany is a nation that is famous for its machine guns and it is a JOKE that the US got a copied version of the MG42. Still no accurate rof tho and I have the bad feeling that DF just threw the gun at us (axis mains) so the mouths will be shut. Again, other nations got way more love (as always and ofc japan got AGAIN the worst of all). I remember when the USSR got the Thompson with 100rds and hell of a rof - US mains went bonkers too!
-
Axis/germany is well known for its StG’s/assault rifles and again DF adds a totally fantasy/prototype assault rifle in the regular TT that is WAY better (300 more rof) then the StG or even the AS-44.
-
Instead of adding historical equipment, DF just copy-pastes the RPzB43 Ofenrohr. This is so messed up! Where is the PPSh41, where is the Thompson, where is the SVT40 that were heavily used by axis forces in the axis TT??? It became so heavily unfair for axis players that ALWAYS the US and/or USSR got some special treatment.
-
The Super Pershing is well needed and I totally agree the appearence. But a one-of-a-kind-vehicle in the TT for everybody is just again bullshit. Where is the Maus? I also want the E-100 in that case. Thank you, or is this special treatment only for allied forces?
-
What in the name of god got Japan to defeat the Super Pershing? Their bamboo-AT-launcher or the death stick?
-
I just feel so fucking sad for all japan mains. This update got the prorities totally wrong. MG42/100 and a stronger US tank are needed (I still have mixed feelings about the Super Pershing), but the rest is just BS.
People totally forgot that every nations has weaknesses but are unique too. This update again destroys so much of the unique features and playstyles for each nation. That the reason why I am pissed and the reason why I as veteran still will boycot BR5 with all this unrealistic and unfair fantasy bullshit.

I really wish we could get rid of BR V. We see how most tech trees struggle to fill to BR V without relying on fantasy weapons, copy paste/captured, late war prototypes and drawing board ideas or postwar weapons that try and pretend they are from WWII.

I mean its historical.
I dont recall any of the options with notable penetration values proposed for US historical accurate.
Just get rid of all this fantasy crap. I have no problem facing a USSR player with a PPSh41 while I use a StG44 or MKb42 and vise versa. It is historical and both guns have pros and cons - more ammo and higher rof vs. more damage and maybe a better handling.
Some special and rare weapons are fine (like Cönders, rare US guns or MAXIMUM THREE AS-44) as special reward, event, and so on… but this copy/paste and fantasy BS just because people cant use their brains while facing a “stronger” enemy just sucks.

… with production of nearly 4700 pieces from 1928 to 1935. wtf in Burma.
Also look at the nationality of tech.
Why do Soviets get Lewis gun and Mathilda tank… but Allies dont?? The lewis was invented by an American and used by the British/Commonwealth. Mathilda was British and used by UK and Australia.
Americans get MG42, Soviets at one point had Arisaka rifles. Soviets have panzerfausts, USA has the ‘German bazooka’
Japan has German weapons
Its ridiculous. I know some weapons were captured and used but for gods sake at least give the original nation the weapon/vehicle first before giving it to… every other tech tree!

Isn’t this situation interesting?
Darkflow believes that it is more “historical accurate” to add “fantasy” weapons rather than just changing data and values when doing balances. (which was what they often do when modifying maps, missions and small arms.)
I believe it’s fine to just nerf any tanks’ equivalent armor values to A mm to B mm, representing changes in the quality of armor plates, if compared with “fantasy” weapons; while Darkflow already said “This is for balance” multiple times.

Must be a If you don’t want people talking about some silly things just release a more silly one theory.
This all sounds fine except you have to, at the end of the day, fill critical capability gaps, which this patch does:
BR5 is proto heavy at this point anyhow, so thats not a valid argument. German mains already have S tier tanks and A++ tier air to pick from. Its slitting hairs and ignoring other nations capabilities (Hello Burma patch about obv JAPAN/ALLIES) that were lacking, and now are being added.
Just be happy for the underdeveloped tech tree of smaller nations getting filled out, there’s nothing wrong with that.
The one key MISSING Axis capability, 100rd belt MG BR5, has been

The ability to pick up AT-weapons from fallen enemies (Panzerschreck/Ofenrohr for free) would fix so much. No wannabe-captured stuff in the TT and the brainless players can destroy that camping tank.
As I mentioned: I stay at BR2 and enjoy the game. BR5 is a no-go.

You reminded me that there were free kamikaze stick bombs randomly located in Pacific. This mechanism is totally suitable (even more) for Panzerfaust.
(But I doubt if both of the ideas could fix balance since they relied too much on randomness)
I guess keep repeating the good stuff!!

I am totally happy for every new item that will be added and/or is been added. I (as axis main) am not complaining about the MG42/100 that finally came. That would be the most stupid thing ever…
I still wonder WHY there is need for a US MG42 or a US assault rifle with absolute unfair stats. Thats the point.
The 2nd point is the loss of the uniqueness of each nation.
The 3rd point is the massive amount of fantasy equipment that is NOT needed.
An other point is that Japan again got nothing good. And they have to face the M1944 and Super Pershing spam with what? Bamboo? Maybe some magic?

I always wonder how people manage to play Post Scriptum, Squad44 and Hell let Lose were US and USSR dont have axis equipment.
How do they even do it? ITS MAGIC!
