16 damage, workable RoF, high-capacity, and because the magazine is meant to be filled with stripper clips, it gets the springfield sniper reload animation, but each animated bullet counts as 5 capacity-wise.
Speaking of the springfield sniper- I would much rather have the version with over-under sights back. This is near-unusable in the maps we do get, and I’ve found I can snipe well enough with the Ross rifle.
imo All american rifles have terrible iron sights
From those tiny ones on springfield and ross
To those better but still bad peep sights on Garand and Carbine
I always steal enemy Kar 98’s
Yeah the irons are all horrible. I’m trying to get as many Lee Enfields as I can because their sight is at least functional.
Too bad about the AI making me not want to touch the campaign.
I love them personally, looking forward to maining the US.
Also the Ross rifle and Mannlicher both have the Russian Winchester 1895 placeholder, so it’s not staying.
Lee Enfield is a god like rifle
I think best american/british rifles are lee enfield because it has great sights and a lot of ammo and M1 Garand because of the DPS
Me too but the main problem is the game that forces me to use crappy ww1 trashfield rifle
Really, I kindof get the springfield (really the M1 Carbine should replace it), but the rest of the WWI weapons don’t even begin making sense.
HE shells need area damage and not just concussion
The Springfield is a god awful weapon to use, unless it’s the sniper variant so I’d like to have M1 Carbines replace it. But I can’t really think of a semi-automatic small caliber weapon that the Germans could start off with.

They don’t need to mirror eachother to be equitible, though it could attract complaints if it’s M1 Carbine vs Kar.
The M1 Carbine fits the role of reserve rifle better than either the Springfield or the Kar, as it’s purpose-built to be used as a PDW for artillery crews and the like.
I mean I’d still like to have the M1 Carbine be a starting gun instead of the Springfield, but I am trying to account for the numerous complaints that Germany mains would make.
The funny thing is that’s the type of balance the game was meant to have from the beginning. Setups that aren’t directly comparible but equally advantageous.
Any statement from the wehraboo community?
I might dedicate a thread to it tonight with a breakdown including DPS, alpha damage, capacity, range, and etc.
yes but then why should there be 10 vs 10 instead of 10 vs 5 one side get good weapons other gets bad …one side gets more tanks other side a little less…keeping everything equal except guns and then calling the game asymetric is not fun.
In that scenario, as we’ve seen in war thunder, so many people would be queueing to be one of the 5 that there isn’t 10 people in the other queue to outnumber then.
Whats with this T-60 vs Panzer IV I run into? Flanking shot at close distance can’t even pen at 90 degree angle? What’s the point? It’s Warthunder publishers but clearly balancing this has failed. Pay to win means people reach these peaks of power faster, and everyone else will be at their mercy.
Where’s the rank matching? Match high levels with high levels, not with low levels…
T-50 is basically an invincible armored bunker only vulnerable to TNT charges
Real fair guys, the closest armored tank I can think of the Germans had would be the Panzer 3M, I guess we can have that now?
