Yes, I am quite in favor of this, I remember I made a suggestion a while back about it as well. Since the Russians already have the C96, I see absolutely no reason we can’t add this to Germany.
I haven’t seen a more delusional statement yet.
It has to do with it. This is a game, not some historical simulation. In-game Faction integrity should matter more.
Since when something like that mattered for Enlisted? This has never been a relevant factor. Literally just cherry picked historical detail to justify irrational copypaste. Nothing more, nothing less.
Im sure the browning Hi-Power does make a massive dent to this extremely important faction integrity.

Stop being so disingenuous and push things to the extremes.
It’s not unreasonable to want or expect historically common gear to be available where appropriate, and stop pretending otherwise.
I thought you cared for and wanted more WW2 content? What’s the issue? This doesn’t get more WW2.
Faction identity definately matters more.
You’re becoming Veekay now, but for copy-pastes. Love to see it.
By all means, protect us from this historical gun, but ignore the Universal Carriers, Panzerfausts, Ofenrohrs, C96s, 17-pounders, Pak-40s, and Japanese Tigers behind the curtain.
Classic Adamn “I decree thee [word of the day]” moment though, with a bonus of a absolute and unfounded statement too boot.
There aren’t that many cases of arms being historically used and produced by several factions, so this is a dead end for your argument. There’s the Hi-Power…? What else is there…? Your dreaded “integrity” won’t fall of when the most common sense copy-paste is performed, trust me, you won’t loose sleep over it.
Once again, one only needs to point out a single exception to what you just wrote, and your very absolutist statement is no longer that interesting anymore.
I could point to the KE7 again…? Will that appease you…? That seems to prove the opposite of your claim…
Because appealing to what DF has arbitrarily dolled out isn’t irrational…? Right…
But all logic and reason belongs soley to you, of course, you have decreed it so, so I must take your word for it.
I’ll just continue to appeal to reality like a moron, then…

I’m against copy paste in the form of giving every faction an Ofenrohr as that makes no sense, but if a faction literally used that gun in the THOUSANDS then I support copypaste in that instance
I think Germany should also get Colt 1911s (as an event pistol) as occupied Denmark produced over 8,000 licensed copies of the 1911 for Germany too. See here for info about the Danish Kongsberg Colt
Japan definitely did not have thousands or even hundreds of Ofenrohrs, so I disagree with copypaste like that

That seems fair. But would the stats of the Danish colt be the same as the current one, and would it look the same with some slight differences?

I’m afraid I only know Swedish weaponry to the degree where I could answer what cartridges were used off-hand.
Nobody cares about the Danes though, amirite? (

I would like to see M1911 added to Soviets first though, Russian Empire purchased 51 000 then USSR got 13 000 more under lend-lease.
Also a Mauser C96 variant like some Astra 900 for Allies as well, just so I can give them to my Chinese troops.

The Germans have good pistols—what’s the point of them? Even better, consider the USSR—they weren’t doing so well with pistols.
I believe this means the Soviets had more 1911s than C96s…? Am I wrong?
There were some UK contract 1911s for WW1 too, I believe. And, Commonwealth officers purchased their pistols privately, and could in theory be of any model or make. Not that anything needs to change with the game to add those, they share a faction with the US after all.
It would basically function the same but it would have different factory markings due to being locally produced in Denmark

Sure, I wouldn’t mind if the USSR had lend lease 1911s
Pistols do not make a large impact on the game, so spread them around as much as you want I say

I have no idea how many C96 pistols ended up with the red army, but it was their most common or second most common sidearm before TT-33 was adopted.
Many Russian officers carried them before the First World war broke, it was common even during Russian civil war.
Many were secretly sold to USSR in the 20s and 30s, in fact the Mauser produced or modernised C96 guns made in 20s and early 30s were dubbed “bolo” after Bolsheviks, thats how many of them got exported to USSR.

I thought their supply was only about 35k, but I don’t know my Soviet weaponry.

The more you know. Although I would like it if their C96 look a little different from the German one.
Actually, its Germans that have the Soviet C96.
The short barrel “bolo” C96 did get captured by Axis troops, but the most common was the M712 schnellfeuer (already event 
) but Mauser M16 (red 9, chambered in 9x19) or Astra 900 could be added to Axis.
