Then blame the soviet mains wanting the IS2 1944 so bad they didn’t even think what the germans gonna get lmao
Or you are expecting them get a pat in the back and a belt pocket pistol?
And Tiger II H is also a 35 level tank, but guess what, you can get Panzerfaust early and make tank encounter trivial in urban warfare
Where were you when we were complaining about KV-1 that is practically unkillable for a year. Ofc you were silent because you only care if Axis is op but not when we switch sides to Soviets being op. Post merge BR1-2 players will be hopeless against that beast unless they whaled on SFA and got Pz3N with Heat or want to gamble and play BR3 with pz4f2/g. And you should gitgut Panzerfausts are great against any tank in a game, Berlin has so many elevated positions that will negate all Tiger’s armor and nuke most of the crew in single hit or sometimes 1hk.
Not anytime soon I would suspect. It was bad before the merge announcement too. I feels very neglected for sure.
not on stalingrad.
are you mistaking me for someone? i dont have faction bias and i call every stupid decision when i see it. KT(H) was stupid decision for berlin, same as tiger/panther/jumbo for normandy, same as t34/pz4f2 for moscow.
i am not saying that panzerfausts arent good. problem comes from being unreliable on long range cause you dont know distance cause of its lobbing.
i agree that t3 is problem for t1, but t2 has tanks capable of killing KV1 with its 75mm armor. germans get:
Exactly my point. Same as the avs 36 as the avs was in service in all time periods of the eastern front in ww2 however making the volksturmgewehr a rifle class weapon and putting it at tier 2 was ok apparently. So what about putting the volksturm gewehr in tier 5 for Berlin since it has a 30 round magazine in which case?
I actually read up on the fedorov being re-issued in 1940 as 3200 of them were manufactured and used in the Russian civil war, the winter war and in ww2 apparently.
I mean I would mind seeing those two as event rewards
Same with Kiraly, but to be honest, both drum ppsh and kiraly are between BR4 and 5 which is awkward since they are either OP or weak.
This is why I suggested more BR variety then just 5 levels.
Welp,we players asked for only 5 tiers so we reap what we sow.
Fedorov Avtomat, maybe.
And even then it was an unreliable arisaka cartridge weapon, not a proto-M16 like in this game.
Fedorov MG though was never issued to anyone.
Its called BR decompression where Gaijin has a track record of using queue times as an excuse to not decompress the BRs for too long like those times where a T-80B can fight a Leopard 2A5 at BR 10.0 before the decompression after a very long time with constant player feedback to decompress the BRs.
The BR system did put some vehicles on an awkward position too especially Cold War era tanks like modernized versions of T-55 and T-62 being between more advanced tanks like T-64 and T-72.
when it comes to logic and reason that ship has sailed a long time ago And yet the Germans are still struggling to put a belt fed MG together with 100 rounds for some reason
gib my Axis boys their 100 round Mg42
Soon as all everyone seems to keep saying for some reason and when it actually does happen I think we’ll be dead by the time it happens
idk where you read about ww2 (unless you are including winter war in that). even though 3200 were manufactured, they were extremely difficult to clean, maintain and repair. there is question of how many of them were even put in storage between 1925 and 1928 (i didnt find any sources about that) and during winter war they were issued to military intelligence units and it is presumed that most of them were either used up or destroyed during it.
i have not seen any source quoting usage of fedorov avtomat in any post winter war campaign.
cause historically they had 50 belt ammo. even though they could have linked it up for 100 or 150, it was usually not done for mobile MG cause of its non disintegrating belts that were sticking on other side of the MG.
for stationary MG it was different story.
Dude, Volkssturm rifle isn’t even good for BR2, there is a reason that you can’t see them in current Berlin, they are not great for assaulter, when SMG and any semiautos can beat their 4ss without much effort
Yeah it’s a last ditch weapon, that’s the idea of a gun that was made just months before the war ended.
Why people keep going with this mental gymnastics about Tier = Campaign?
The whole god damn reason the BR system exist is Balance by gear performance, or the more unga bunga term “new players/early gear doesn’t get bully till death by high end gear” which the Devs can’t seems to understand the shite they are doing too, since they move the focking KV1 down to BR3 so BR1 and BR2 getting screw by it
this argument does not hold much water especially when you look at end game and you have this for pictures as well and there’s even Belt of ammo on the soldiers as well.
this one’s even more stupid I can’t even see it and yet there’s ammo there for some reason
ffs learn the difference between disintegrating and non disintegrating belt.
Many modern ammunition belts use disintegrating links. Disintegrating links retain a single round and are articulated with the round ahead of it in the belt. When the round ahead is stripped from the belt and fed into the feed system or chamber, the link holding it is ejected and the link holding the following round is disarticulated. Many disintegrating belt designs allow two pieces of belt to be connected by a cartridge, it applies even to non-disintegrating belts. When done by assistant gunner in combat, linking a new belt to the end of the belt already being fed in the weapon allows for continuous fire without the need to open the feed tray and reload.
non disintegrating belt
This type of belt consists of a design that can be reused, as it does not fall apart during function, similar to a feed strip. This is found only on a few types of machine guns still in use, such as the Soviet DShK, RPD, PK, the Russian RPL-20, PKP Pecheneg, the German MG 34, MG 42, MG 3, Chinese QJY-88, and the British Vickers, which used a non-disintegrating canvas and brass belt links. Arguably, precursors to the belt-fed machine gun were the Cass rifle, patented in 1848, and the Treeby chain gun, patented in the 1850s.[2] Belts were originally composed of canvas with pockets spaced evenly to allow the belt to be mechanically fed into the gun. These designs were prone to malfunctions due to the effects of oil, grease, and other contaminants altering the shape of the belt. If they became saturated with water, canvas belts including the loops holding the cartridges would contract, and the gun mechanism would be unable to extract the rounds. Later belt designs used permanently connected metal links to hold the cartridges, and weapons which originally used canvas belts such as the Vickers Gun were then deployed with these more dependable formats. These belts were more tolerant to exposure to solvents and oil. Despite it being a more efficient system, few are still used, possibly due to the added cost and effort. Non-disintegrating belts often come in pieces of limited length connected by disintegrating link, and after being fed through the weapon the piece falls off, limiting the length of the used belt hanging from the weapon to no more than one such piece. Many weapons designed to use non-disintegrating metal links or canvas belts are provided with machines to automatically reload these belts with loose rounds or rounds held in stripper clips. In use during World War I, reloaders allowed ammunition belts to be recycled quickly to allow a practical rate of continuous fire
The M1919 originally fired the .30 cal M1906 (.30-06) ball cartridge, and later the .30 caliber M2 ball cartridge, contained in a woven cloth belt, feeding from left to right. A metal M1 link was later adopted, forming a “disintegrating” belt.
The M1 link, was the U.S. military designation for a steel disintegrating link designed for the M1917 Browning machine gun and M1919 Browning machine gun, and the .30-06 Springfield cartridge that they fired. A single round would hold two links together, and more could be added to make up a belt of any quantity of rounds, though for the mounted machine guns of the time, a belt of 250 rounds was most commonly used. As was the trend with American belt-fed firearms, as opposed to Soviet designs, belts of ammunition feed into the gun from the left side to the right.
The left side of a single link had a circular loop which would hold the main body of the cartridge case, and an extension on the right that formed two similar loops which was designed to fit in between the two right-side loops of the next link. The rear loop of the right side of the link would hold onto the cartridge case just below the shoulder, as would the left side loop, where the front loop of the left side of the link held onto the cartridge neck, and was therefore a bit smaller in diameter. This was designed so that the M1919 machine gun’s extractor claw would take hold of the rim of the cartridge and pull it out of the linked belt from the rear, where it would then be fed into the chamber and would rest there until fired. The feeding pawl in the gun would pull the belt to the right as the gun was fired or cocked, sending the loose link out to the right side of the receiver, where the expended case was dropped vertically below the gun. This disintegrating system is a contrast to older canvas belts and other non-disintegrating metal link belts, although disintegrating-link types are almost universal in the present day, as the lower cost and lack of a loose, empty belt end to deal with are very attractive to the military.
M1 links were used during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War but were replaced in frontline service by the NATO M13 link developed for the M60 machine gun.
Who cares I’m talking about end game and there’s a lot more debatable things there so I don’t think the Germans having a 100 round MG is a big deal And at least I’m not asking for 150 or 250
