What do you think about adding a new categoria for certain weapons: Carbines?
What weapons would be enclosed here? Weapons currently labeled as rifles that most classes would be able to equip, it would not be a so useful feature but would allow some weapons such as the M2 carbine to not be limited to only riflemen and riflemen like classes
-
Mosin M1907
-
Type 38 carbine
-
M1903 (?)(I don’t really know about this rifle)
-
G33/40
-
M1 and M2 Carbines
-
M38 and M44 Mosin carbines
-
Pistol caliber carbines
-
Intermedium caliber rifles
What do you think?

A carbine weapon class in my mind aught to be weapons that are a semi-automatic (potentially full auto as well, if I get to choose), and that fire either intermediate or pistol calibre cartridges. All such weapons should benefit from the universality that the VG 1-5 and the S&W Light Rifle currently enjoy.
A list of weapons currently in game that I think should qualify for this weapon class:
- M1 Carbine
- M1A1 Carbine
- S&W Light Rifle
- M1903 w/ Pedersen Device (disputed, it’s a full-length rifle with a large box magazine sticking out to the side, it’s hardly a compact weapon)
- Turning Light Rifle
- KB-P-135
- VG 1-5
- Beretta 1918/30
- M2 Carbine (if we allow full-auto weapons)
- M2A1 Carbine (-||-)
- Gewehr 42 8mm Kurz (-||-)
Incomplete list of potential future weapons:
- M1 Carbine 30
- M1 Carbine w/ bayonet
- M1A1 Carbine 30
- VG 1-5 10
- M2 Carbine 15 (if we allow full-auto weapons)
- M2A1 Carbine 15 (-||-)
- Gewehr 42 8mm Kurz 10 (-||-)
- And more that I can’t think about.
I find that bolt-action rifles are all present on classes that I would wish them to be (I don’t perticularily miss them on vehicle crews). I also do not miss full power cartridge semi-auto rifles not being available on Guerrillas, Drivers, Riders, Tankers, and Pilots either.
What I do miss, is being able to equip my US and (to a lesser extent) Commonwealth Guerrillas and vehicle crews with historically accurate M1 Carbines! I mean, come on, the US doctrine literally has M1 Carbines being intended for drivers - and not being able to use Carbines on my Commonwealth Guerrillas is damaging my psyche!

I just meant to give those weapons the carbine status for accuracy more than usefulness, anyway it wouldn’t really be an important change for those since most people would prefer semiauto carbines instead of bolties.
Better give a better RoF to bolt action carbines in trade for damage, maybe 19 base? Anyway, 60 RoF base would be fine (in case of the Mosin carbines, it would be more for balance than accuracy since the Mosin bolt system was horribly hard to action)
The intent here is so that I can use M2 Carbines on my Assaulters and vehicle troops in BR V… I don’t need a prototype Hyde when there is literally a tech tree weapon that does the same thing on paper already in the game…

That’s why I want to suggest that as well, if devs don’t turn the M2 carbine into an AR then better we give it an accurate designation to allow drivers, tankers, assaulters, medics and guerrillas to equip those
