I think it’d work better as an event…it’d scratch the itch a lot of people have for the Winter War/Continuation War while also allowing the devs to show off some alternate maps (or maybe user-made maps?)
I think he’d make a great event reward…although he didn’t fight in the Continuation War, so it’d be better to offer a German soldier, maybe useable in either Moscow or Stalingrad?
Others have hinted that it would be a lot of copy-and-paste from existing campaign(s) and that’s a valid argument.
Events offer a thematic way to at least address some of these other theaters/campaigns without making us, as someone said, grind out a crap ton of levels…
historical error #1: Thomson in Winter war, USA dont lend lease to soviets in 1940
Historical Error #2: Assuming that in case there was a thomson it would be the continuation war
In that case, Hayha could not be there, because he never participated in the Second World War, only in the Winter War.
winter war or continuation war its only moscow 0.5/1.5
I don’t remember the US supplying Hitler’s allies, which the USSR was until the Operation Barbarossa.
Nah, during that time they also had the SIG M1920 and some early German SMGs - MP 18 and MP 28. Not to mention all of the Soviet SMGs that they had captured.
The soviets bought hundreds, probably thousands of Thompsons in the early 30s most were in use by the NKVD but were pulled into service in the winter war after the generals realized bolt action rifles were completely useless against automatic weapons despite the soviets 3 to 1 advantage.
It is.
WW2 started in 1939 when Nazi Germany and Soviet Union attacked Poland. Everything from the September 1st 1939 till May 8th 1945 IS World War 2.
