[Event Feedback] Justice for the Lewis Gun - Add it to the Tech Tree!

All other suggestions are “suggestion - archive” category. In fact I cant even find this topic in the suggestions category.
Is this a new broken function or maybe helpers categories and forward suggestions like this, just we havent seen the system yet.

It just got moved. I don’t mind the extra attention, gives this suggestion a second life.

Speaking of second life…


@Euthymia07-live @JestersTM @MajorMcDonalds

Could we perhaps get a official response to or acknowledgement of our concerns, and that the devs have at least been informed and are considering options on how to move forward?

I appreciate that the first suggestion moved to this new category was this one, which hints at some acknowledgement, but one in writing would also be appreciated.

They should add my sub trees post fr fr. Even though it’s pretty small

Its been pretty obvious for years that the lewis is highly demanded in the tech tree for allies…and that there is a vacant spot in Allies for a mid BR moderate capacity mg.

Would have been an easy home run…why always a swing and a miss

I think that would undermine the thread sadly, it’s been three days since the first posting of this suggestion, the bulk of the engagement has already passed…

Edit, I’ll add a poll down here:

How is there always someone that manages to disagree with a good suggestion?!?

You know, I’ve only had one person openly disagree with me on this topic, some random guy on one of Quadro’s videos.

He thought that the Faction is called “USA” and that the British are “lucky” to get anything at all and I should just be content with my lot.

Some people just want to step on a dream, apparently.


Top comment from one of the largest (if not the largest, I think) Enlisted Youtuber videos, this idea really is mainstream, DF would be wise to implement it.

There are somehow 2 dudes rn that don’t want my sub trees even though you only gain stuff from it!

Yes we forwarded the concerns about the Lewis to devs, it’s obviously a very popular gun, and at least one variant should be in the tech tree

Thank you!

Thank you!

I don’t mind there being a event Lewis.

Maybe when a TT version comes out that one can just have the skin of the current one? Because the current version does represent the most common variant, it above any other deserves to be in the TT.

I’m ok with just adding these weapons to the TT and we have 1 event weapon of each.

Could you please also forward:

  • changing the colour of range numbers for plane rearmament, mortar and running distances from white to yellow? White blends in
  • adding an arming/disarming point timer for destruction to encourage players to do it or actually reward those who do
  • changing the colour of the players own spawn points to lime green on our map to better track which one is ours? It can get confusing
    Thank you!

Yeah, and the event one SHOULD be the TT version.

Also when is the Scotti Naval Rifle getting it’s 25 round magazine?

sIG beings put back at br2?

Make these suggestions, in my sIG is BR 2 post, there’s plenty of clips of the sIG getting destroyed by BR I stuff.

TBH, assuming you’re referring to the Dutch M.20 Lewis Gun with that, that one is actually somewhat distinct from the others, mainly being that it exclusively uses a custom 97 round drum magazine design.

But anyways I do support the idea of adding the Lewis gun to the tech tree. Honestly they could add quite a lot, such as the following:
BR3: regular Lewis Gun

BR4: Home Guard Lewis Gun (has higher rof due to being converted aircraft models) w/ 47 round mag

BR5: Home Guard Lewis Gun (same thing with the rof) w/ 97 round mag (not sure if there’s any of these which had a bipod but it’s hypothetically possible)

I really want to run a BR3 British MG squad

I agree with the entire premise of the thread on the caveat that we get a similar lewis gun variant that we get from the event- But the rear sights are folded down so you can actually see.
