Hello, friends, as you might know - axis side have almost all famous weapons of soviet side.
Its Mosin rifle in premium
Its PPsh obrez no idea how in TT tree
Its PPsh from Stalingrad - decent 71 drum gun
Its PPsh with a box magazine - Mp-41(r) from event
Its PPS for a guerilla squad
Its Murder armed with a ZIS-5 (or 2) gun
A hell of a weapons!
Well, its fine, but soviet side doesn’t have this amount of trophy weapons - Faust at TT (what is historically accurate - millions of it was used by su), mp-40 prem… and a Breda for Stalingrad (lol).
So, it will be perfect to have a decent mg as an event trophy weapon -
Zb for 2 br
Mg-34- for 3 br
Or Mg-42-100 for 5 br
All of it was in use by soviet side - much more then many prototype weapons. So, if you like to give us content and do not make a lot of work about - just give it, would you.
First step would be to give the RPK 1943 a 25 round magazine and make it TT, as far as adding all the other German MG’s , I’m not sure, the Soviets already have the most dominant smg’s, so I am assuming a push back from those who are German mains.
IMOP, even a BR2 RPK with a 25 round magazine would still be my MG of choice in BR3, even over the MG34 as I prefer the light MG’s anyway.
What’s a problem to give an mg - which is highly needed, you might don’t know but su at br 2 have an old creep Madsen which is non sence. A lot more zb was in use
If you really want to rile up the German mains, suggest the Soviets get US BAR’s as there were some supplied in the Lend lease act, although they were not standard issue, but when have the Dev’s cared if weapons were standard, or even actually used for that matter.
They can just buff the rate of fire on DPM its so easy.
I already explained them that it wont be a historic do to how the gasports work Type 99,ZB 30 and DPM despite having differences can have different rate of fire then their predecessors do to the design of the guns. Its a healthy way of devs to balance some guns and it will be far more realistic then other in game guns that have unrealistic rate of fire that dont have mechanical justification even to have it.
Fine for me but captured guns should only be the last resort if added to tt. Otherwise they should be bp guns or premium/event.
This weapon seems much more unique and would fit nicely in soviet tt
Dont forget Madsen, as the gun was made by the Danes and only the Russian Empire used it.
Or the Winchester, which is still an American rifle.
Or Event Browning HI-Power and Astra.
Matilda isnt actually available. Soviet matilda is in editor but it was never added to the main game. But thank you for pointing out couple guns i missed. The soviets have so much stolen stuff that it can be hard to remember it all
