AS-44 What is the point do we not care about historical accuracy anymore at this point

If you dont like WW2 history then why do you play this game? Consistently bad takes from you

Sure. Nobody is asking for 1:1 milsim. Make weapon A reload slower, make tank B have more armor, make faction C issue expensive paratrooper rifles to every volkssturm and their grandpa – the devs have the freedom to balance it all internally without stomping on the remains of claiming to be a “historical game” some time ago.

Belts are another matter entirely…

They should already be there. As customization options, maybe.

With a tradeoff: you bring a big 250 ammo belt instead of the 50 ammo belt? Then your soldier speed is HALVED (those are heavy you know).

Maybe one day, who knows.

This bs has been going on forever now.

Mkb, ivf2, federev, jumbo, etc etc. all as general unlocks.

The madness has just been accelerating and it’s only a matter of time before battle of berlin is French vs. Italians now that we’re down the warthunder path.

Unfortunately I think it’s too late the ships already sailed and it’s not coming back to port.

I like acting like a lunatic in game. It’s different than a tryhard. It’s just doing crazy things, sometimes working, sometimes disastrous, but ALWAYS impressive.

That’s what happens when you grew up playing unreal, half life and quake multiplayer…

well I kind of like that they trying to add interesting guns AS-44 isn’t quite the paper weapon that we think it is there were seven variants of it and even there was an experimental batch of AS44 built and it was delivered to troops for trials (summer 1945 shortly after VE day)most likely the 5th variant that is being added so in my humble opinion it would have been better to add AS-44 as a gold order rather than what we get now but at the end of day it is variety that devs are trying to create since most of the service rifles and guns of soviet have been added maybe they could have given the soviets a captured weapon maybe mp43/1 but then why play Germans where you could get the same weapon in soviet side.They also could have given some other variant of Federov but what I know Im I’m just Enlisted enjoyed

Imo it is doing a lot, AVT , PPSH, AVS , whole game for allies is made around this guns buffed in any possible way so they can compete to AR , i know its videogame and it should be fun for both factions but it should not be totally historically inaccurate and including paper guns, it looks silly , like they cant to balancing in any better way than this ? i know that allied players do not necesarrily need AR anymore :smiley: especially when these pseudo AR soviet wonderguns behave sometimes far more better than they should , and im not talking about mindless CQB where you dont need STG to do the trick, then why devs still wants more AR for soviets ? its been a year now and this question is still on table and not solved

At this point they can add a RPG2 and AK 47/AKMs with the context of “prototype” as standarized weapon of the USSR lmao

While the US keeps getting more tommy and German get another StG reskin

even the amount of tommy guns in here is too much and should be reduced imo

It’s becoming like Israel tech tree in Warthunder where a whole line is just magath tanks like I said devs try to avoid this and add more variety by adding these experimental weapons

yeah eventually its the devs decision to put AS to premium squad, but soviets never possessed this assault rifle on larger scale in WW2 therefore AT LEAST it should not appear anymore as F2P campaign reward or gold order usable by any assaulter

as you said people play axis for reason, they want something that is genuine to each faction, STG is good example, once devs cross this line they will ruin the overall faction gun feel in favor of glorious soviet army that possess everything from Mauser C96 and Panzerfaust available to everyone , to early AK-47

i want to play soviets for their AVS , ppsh mosin PPD guns just as i want to play axis for MP, Kar98, Carcano, Beretta etc.

lets dont mix it cause it will become goulash nobody wants

if everyone wants this future guns to play, they should try other game instead, not eveyrthing can be put into WW2 genre or devs should add korean war campaign or something else where this would be

While i do think the as-44 (AK-47 in ww 2) is lame, the door is open. i find prototypes interesting. I would just prefer if they didnt make them better than things that were actually used. Kronstadt anyone???

Having said that…lots more interesting stuff can be added now…more to italy please

I just think there should be clear inadequicies on prototypes, so you could use them if you wanted, but not superior, equal to the main choices. Whether that be bad recoil, bad dispersion or jamming/malfunctions.

What I love about this game is that it has so much content and ranges from the famous, well known, and mass produced, to the rare, prototype, and experimental. I think it’s fine to have the AS-44 and I always welcome all the different kinds of things we can get
