Japan and Russia already have a captured and 100 ground drum 1921. Why can’t the US have the 1921 variant rather at tier 3 with a 30 round stuck mag or one at tier 5 with a 50 round drum? Because I personally am a big fan of this Thompson’s sights.

japan is a minor faction neglected for the company too much time, dont cry when americanoid got lot of stuff, like the super pershing, for premium t99, lot of event stuff, etc, the problem is your playerbase, not gear

The game isn’t just BR5. Lots of new players who stick to BR2 or less for months. Many long-time players who play in that bracket as well.

Same reason why Soviets have Lewis gun and M3A1 but not americans

I think it has to do with a lack of stuf for Soviet and Japs (especially, easy to add stuf, for the Thompson they can just re-use assets).
I also think @Naohmcete is kind of right that US faction does not really have the right to complain currenty…
Japs I agree with needing more stuff. However I think the soviets are in peak shape rn. I do hope at some point however America gets an 1921 Tommy with the same sights,rod and recoil pattern as the Russian Tommy but with a 30 round mag. Perhaps br3 was a little overkill so br4 would make more sense. But the time they add it doesn’t need to be soon since the US did get a bunch of content recently.
Not so much crying however just a sense of confusion to how the US don’t have their 1921 but the soviets get the nkvd with them with 100 round drums
Is pretty normal thb soviets are the favorite faction for the devs ( don’t surprise me the Game is russian) so is actually obvious that DF is gonna put more effort ant love on that faction than the rest

About the main point, yeah adding it (in a folder plz) would be nice. Especially since the Thompson 50 fucking sucks cock so any strong alternative would be nice in the next update.
However, I was not talking about the strength of Soviet or Jap faction, but about reusing assets. So, not to much stuf to easily use again for Soviet and Japs. But using the same Americans assets for Japs and Soviet is easy, that was my point, not from a gameplay/balance perspective but from a development perspective.
Which … by the way … Japs are weak in your opinion? Like obviously Soviet is better rounded and Japs are wonky as fuck, but, Japs with their crazy Hei, Type 100 and strong planes and Ho-Ri tank. Only lack of AT is a significant factor. But overal stil very strong. But idk maybe they just fit my play style quite well …
Do you think so?
Personaly I play all factions an equal, giving me some insight into the different factions and to be honest, cant really see were your coming from. Lets look at the different factions in each category:
-
Events: Soviet and Germans get most stuf, Japs get the least. Soviet also got the best squads, with the addition of Thompson 100 and para.
-
TT: Americans have had clear preferential treatment, not only the last update. They also get the strongest new stuf together with Japs who got Hei and Type 100.
-
Mini events: Americans get slightly more. Powerlevel also Americans, think of crazy stringer.
-
Maps: Germans and Americans get way more (3 maps) while Japs and Soviet rarely get anything (1 maps). There is no powerlevel in maps but … I do think Burma got the most new assets while Rhzev had the most reused assets so … smal win for Japs and Americans?
-
Premium: Americans win again. But to use this category you have to pay, so this might be disregarded.
Overal, sucks to be Japanese main. Americans get most overal, with Germans following closely. This is especially dumb when you realise that the TT of Germans and Americans is packed, while Soviets and Japs are empty. (Powerlevel is also logical that Japs and US got a boost in the TT. Just trying to create an overal summery).
My point here is, Soviet is not neglected or prefered, the problem with Darkflow is that they spread out content in really wierd ways, giving preference to one faction in a surtain catogory while neglecting that same faction in others. Unless your talking Japanese faction, then you get to suck a dick.

The Soviets don’t think so in the Russian forum, they believe that the favorite faction of developers is the Axis
Ironic, isn’t it?

That ain’t no lie, I swear I face better enemies in BR1 then I do in BR5. It seems that all the long time vets camp there.

I think the biggest problem with Japan is that they didn’t have a ton of weapon options in WW2 like the rest of the factions, so they naturally are going to be deficient.

They wanna make this premium but afraid to be killed for another iconic serial weapon/vehicle paywalled? Yea, that’s sounds sane.
