i am a bit dissapointed by the fact that only 6 out of the 14 unlocks currently in tunisia for axis are new. this is somewhat understandable since there are three other axis campaigns in game and in tunisia there seems to both italians and germans, but still, they could have been a bit more creative with for example the Ju 87 R-2 which is just copy pasted from moscow.
but only 7 out of the 14 unlocks are new for the allies, which is just lazy. the brits had such a large arsenal and they desided to just copy content from normandy? the whole CBT thing just seems so lazy and rushed for the sake of meeting some arbitrary deadline to make money
yea i hate the fact that there are many recycled weapons from other campaigns that are not distinctively British or Italian such as these
MP28
MP40
M30 Luftwaffe drilling
K98 scoped
K98
Granatwefer 36
m1903 Springfield normal and scoped
Winchester model 1912 (perhaps replace this with the thompson m1928a1 in the progression tree)
also where are these weapons for the British ?
Lee Enfield scoped
Thompson m1928a1 (bought from the Americans)
Ross Rifle
Pattern 1914 Enfield (unsure if this is in game)
And these for the Italians surely these smg’s should replace the current mp40 and mp28 in the progression tree as honestly who wants more of the same stuff to grind with early progression.
Beretta m1918
Beretta m38
FNAB-43 (unsure if this one was used in Tunisia)
I just think it would be nice to have a little uniqueness instead of reusing stuff from other existing campaigns because to be honest its just boring using the same stuff constantly so perhaps just make it only British vs Italian squads with there respective unique weaponry.
You know, every army had standart weapons for reason, it is bullshit to have multiple bolt action rifles for example. Soo there will always be repetetive guns. Maybe we will get Italian mortat in future.
Why? Its counterpart is German Shotgun, i see no problem here.
I think There will be more Allied weapons and British guns in pacticural, this is only few levels.
I dont see why should we replace MP 40 and MP28, it is after all German SMG squad. Italian Smg will for sure come in future, except FNAB, that is 1944 gun.
hmmm fair enough actually on second thought i quite enjoy the shotguns until the got nerfed
And meh we already have German smg squads on the other campaigns early in the progression so why not have Italian smg squads early on instead and perhaps have German SMG squads further down the line.
Also i don’t really mind the mp40 its the mp28 i don’t really like but hey everyone has there own preferences. And heck yea i thought the FNAB might of been abit later on in the war.
Because SMG II will be Italian most likely? Same as Rifle squad. Imo they will change nations for Tier II squads, soo you can have all of squads in nation you like. At least, that is what i would do.
MP28 without extended magazine that have Police troops in Normandy is real shit, ngl there. But it is first dquad to unlock, soo its not really surprise tbh.
I got more problem with M1A1 being on same level as MP 40, as in Normandy, there si huge gap betwen those guns. Here they are on same level. And idk what better they want to give allies down the line tbh.
Edit: Only thing i can think of are Thompsons with drum mags.
They should remove the shitty British weapons from Normandy and give us the cooler American stuff that was promised in this devblog… Maybe it wouldn’t feel so recycled if this happened.
They are not gonna change any weapons in Normandy now, as people could spend money on them and that would create outrage. Weapons in Devblog can still be in campaign on higher levels, as Devs said they want something around 40 levels per campaign.
Some people like certain weapons and anothers hate them, it is individual as what weapons are worth it or not. This is still Free to play game, soo it will be grind fest, nothing new.
Nothing of value would be lost if they replaced the PIAT with the M9 Bazooka and the Sten with the M1928 Thompson (Drum), imo. Could people bitch about having their weapons replaced? Yes. Would they after trying superior variants? Most likely not. That’s just my view though.
Why replace? Those weapons will be on higher levels. And tbh i like Sten, and i want to play with it, even PIAT is not half bad, better than Sturmpistole.
And M9 Bazooka is too good for low level AT Squad. There will be M1A1 Bazooka before it imo.
And Drum Thompson before M1A1 Thompson? Nah, i dont think soo.
I already acknowledge that the devs will probably never fix Normandy so anything is just wishful thinking at this point.
Because many people are in support of historical authenticity, and Americans never ran around with Sten’s and PIAT’s, not even the Bren LMG. It’s already very questionable with Normandy because there are no mixed squads similar to how Tunisia works. If there was, I wouldn’t really mind that much. But the devs are probably never gonna make new British models just for Normandy.
It’s quite shit but you do you. Certainly not worth being an Unlock past Level 21+.
They’re both pretty terrible and boring to use unless you’ve had several continuous hours of experience with them and can manage to land shots at every critical part of a tank. Most players are going to use Explosion Packs and chuck them at vehicles.
I’m fine with either as long as it performs better than the PIAT.
That could be a higher level unlock because a Drum magazine offers way more than a stick.
I know lot of people want historical authenticity, but you can have it once you have high enough level anyway. And we can still get some British squads up in campaign, that is just on Devs if they are gonna do them.
PIAT is much better than Sturmpistole, at least it can hit something that is more than 10 metres away.
There will be Drum Thompson in higher levels most likely, soo you will get all those weapons one day.
Maybe it wouldn’t feel so recycled if this happened.
