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
I would want them to add the RPG-1 or whatever it was called.
I don’t mind getting more variants and derivatives of weapons. The more weapons the better. For example there was a suppressed Thompson and Stg and I’m sure eventually they will be added.
Now of coarse some make the argument that the weapons should have attachments but I feel we’ve went too far down the rabbit hole after all this time so the variant system is basically set in stone. I’m fine with it
You misunderstood. I said the addition of the as44 won’t do much BALANCE WISE… Because magically over boosted Fedorov is here, and way better than as44 already. So even if as44 is added… Soviets already got better. As44 won’t change anything.
Well, from what I see ppl are not really opposed to adding AS-44 but to the fact it will be a progresion weapon.
Personally I don’t mind weird stuff as long as it remains locked behind premium, gold orders, events (that’s the point of those things imo) . But a weapon that basically didn’t exist being avalable for every soldier (minus class restrictions) is a bit too much.
and thats the funniest bit od them all, how can be fedorov or AVT-40 be overall better than AS-44 ? maybe in some situations but it cant be overall better than assault rifle thats ridiculous, its the same as somebody would prefer fedorov to Ak-47, thats my point
guns that have no chance to be better than AR performes better than they should and its on purpose for better balance
thats what i dont like… and adding AR for free to soviets would only determine the path of the devs to give soviet anything for entertainment just to keep playing… even when it would look totally ridiculous
i know this feeling exactly when i play axis pacific, literally 70% if not more of the axis guns there are prototypes so they can compete against US forces, and many of us agreed that it is necessary so at least 30 campaign lvls can be there, devs wanted full auto fiesta and preserve character of the current enlisted
but these japanese guns are from ww2 era and use ww2 ammo, and are not OP or vastly superior to allied guns so its bearable and at least fun for axis and not pain for allies even when japanese forces suddenly use guns they wanted but not used
meanwhile free As-44 would be for faction that already has everything and has no need for extra weaponry beacause it possesed capable guns that are in the game already,
No one is crying for a 1:1 counter of other factions, the AS-44 is nothing but a stupid copy paste of the StG44 because devs wanted to lazy and add new levels from already existing assets.
When I made this suggestion, I never expected that it would lead to BS like this.
Historical accuracy is a constant straw man that gets thrown around every time somebody doesn’t like that a specific faction gets a new, subjectively better weapons.
People should just come out and say what they really feel about the subject.
Personally I think that there is too much emphasis on full auto, fast paced rush gameplay that is only exacerbated by the constant influx of new automatic weapons. The only classes that should get automatic weapons should be assaulters and machine gunners, and the number that can be used in a match should be limited.
Historical accuracy for Berlin is already out of the window like how the Germans are able to have enough fuel and spare parts for their tanks alongside planes as by the time the fighting reaches on the center, Berlin was already fully encircled at this point.
Might as well add SKS, T-44 and IS-3 at this point or if we go further, the prototype AK-46 from Kalashnikov which was the competitor to the AS-44 and the predecessor of the famous AK obr 1947.
Oh yeah. Why not hate the devs for giving the Germans the Panzer III B, ZH or the Tommy the A13 or the Birgers the outphased shells for the 75mm cannons because they are so strong?
