The premium weapon packs were just normal rifles with high-capacity magazines. I got the paratrooper Springfield, though I’ve never had the opportunity to use it because of Gaijin’s asinine micro-test strategy for the alpha where the tests always ended by the time I found out about them and downloaded the game.
I don’t think it’s equitable to make such an extreme jump from the madsen to the dp and call it the same thing as a bolt action with a huge magazine.
The DP would probably be used in the Berlin campaign, that’s why it is in the game instead of the Madsen model, I think.
DP was being produced from 1928-1945. It will most likely be in all champains on east
There’s a big line between something being produced and fielded, though I don’t know when it was fielded either. Edit: the DP saw action in the winter war already
T-34s were a thing long before they were remotely common, and the Sherman existed years before it saw combat.
