Finnish Campaign Thread

After looking at this you did put in a lot of effort, good job.
But I would like this as a far off in the future thing. Still good!

I’d really like to see all battles in this game tbh, but just think about it before saying yes.

How different it is to Moscow?
How the two sides are different in terms of vehicles and guns?

For the Soviet side the weapon, tanks and even almost all planes would be literally the same as Moscow…
If I want to play Soviets, why wouldn’t I just play Moscow aka battle that I can grind right now without wipe or anything.
And if all Soviets gonna play Moscow? Who the Finnish gonna fight?

Q:How different it is to Moscow?
A:Having guns and battles in all 4 seasons, from 6 years time and possible having 3 factions. Unique Winter War weapons for the Soviets such as SMK heavy tank, AVS-36, Fedorov Avtomat, PPD-34 should be removed from Moscow and placed in this campagin because historically it was so.

Q:How the two sides are different in terms of vehicles and guns?
A: Partially mentioned above, will add that Soviets will face completely different vehicles as they often face their own captured vehicles. Planes are French, British and American mostly, so those they havent faced.

And if all Soviets gonna play Moscow? Who the Finnish gonna fight? The game has a playerbase larger than a couple of hundread peoples, Moscow will phistle out anyway at some point because everyone has everything, this campaign would range to 1945 when Moscow is only 1941, a lot of tanks and weapons are left out in Moscow that could be added for Soviets here.

Ok but where? Campaigns are based on individual battles not theaters of combat. Moscow only covers the Battle of Moscow and not the entire eastern front early in the war. Same with D-Day, it only covers the beach landings and the immediate towns and villages not all of the western front.

Correct. As of now they cover only one Battle. I dont see an issue having multiple different battles from a single campaign if the equipment is somewhat historical, which it IS NOT even in the campaigns we have now.

Regardless of equipment, the maps are based off the real locations to a strong level of detail

So where would it take place?

May the snow start speaking Finnish

Thanks for the meme idea @5762269

EDIT: Answered in the main post

Some units as examples:

  • Jalkaväkirykmentti 48 (JR 48) (Infantry Regiment)part of the 18th Division. Formed in 1941, and fought in the Continuation war in battles such as the Battle of Tali-Ihantala (Jalkaväkirykmentti 48 (jatkosota) – Wikipedia)

  • Lentolaivue 24 (LeLv 24) Formed in 1934 this Fighter Squadron fought in the Winter War, Continuation War and Lapland War and it used all of the major fighters of Finland, such as the Fokker D.XXI and Brewster F2A and Bf 109. It also was the squadron where most of the Finnish aces served in (No - Wikipedia.24_Squadron(Finland) / Lentolaivue 24 – Wikipedia)

  • Jalkaväkirykmentti 8 (JR 8) (Infantry regiment)part of the 11th and 7th Divisions, this unit became famous for being the unit in which the Finnish war novel “Unknown Soldier” is set in (Jalkaväkirykmentti 8 (jatkosota) – Wikipedia)

  • I and II Panssaripataljoona (Armoured Battalion) and Rynnäkkötykkipataljoona, part of the Panssariprikaati (Armoured brigade) which was the core of the Panssaridivisioona (Armoured Division)

This campaign would really be something to look forward to. We need even more upvotes!

Great idea, though for simplicity when it comes to weapons and such it could just stick to the winter war.

Then it wouldn’t offer anything new outside of a handful of guns

It would offer a different campaign, one with less spraying as well, which would be a good thing.

Sorry but I don’t think many people are going to be interested in a campaign where its Kar98s vs Mosins for 90% of the campaign

The same people who are interested in Call of Duty perhaps.
