Honestly though, premium squads are too over priced unless you’re gonna reduce the price when the game goes in Open Beta and justify the reduced price is because its no longer giving you access to the game.
Please do not give exclusive weapons to premium squads, that fucks collectors a lot, give them unique uniforms, give them the perks uploaded, give them weapon skins, but do not give them weapons because in addition to being p2w as demonstrated with the mp41, gives the feeling that being F2P you can not get everything in the game,
the game must be play to fast, not pay to win …
Don’t know if they are all ‘wehraboo(s)’ but there has never been a doubt on which player base is larger. Many of the unbalance issues start from there.
The player base is split now between campaigns. I have more bots on the German side than usual now.
As if giving SU better free weapons is any better.
This theory is yours my friend. I don’t believe it but putting it out there just in case you forgot.
Not sure what you are trying to answer here.
I’ll rephrase the stuff in braces for you. Devs so far hasn’t missed an opportunity to mess up balance with weapons especially when it comes to SU(other than prem). DP is the next perfect candidate for it.
Soviet forces used the Chauchat during the Russian Civil war, it’s unlikely they were still in service, but later Soviet records featuring foreign equipment was largely destroyed for ‘patriotic reasons’.
Which is why few photographs of allied lend lease equipment survived the war.
Wasn’t good for the ideology of a “strong soviet superpower”
Sure.
And why not make free squads equal. Dial back the PPD drum recoil so that it’s magazine and fire rate advantage is nullified. And introduce DP-27 to counter MG-13 while giving it heavy recoil to nullify the huge magazine that it gets over German counterparts.
There’s your assymetrical balance on terms that’s acceptable to most people.
Maybe not the alpha values. But it definitely needs a recoil increase. It’s ridiculous at this point. In the hands of a player with good trigger discipline, currently, it outclasses the MPs in a role that it is made for. Medium range engagements.
The premium squad is making the game friendly for noobs. Look how that is going.
And the PPD is quite literally fine as it now is compared to all of the MPs beside the MP28 which should be brought in line with the Normandy MP28 stendo.
