Italy has several questionable weapons in event, here is a suggestion on how to improve

Replace the PzB 38 and PzB 39 with the Wz 35 that the Italians used in Greece, North Africa and Italy after receiving them from Germany

Replace the OVP M1918 which is a post WW1 weapon and Berreta M1 which is a prototype with the Berreta M38A 40 rounds and Berreta 38/42

Replace the Mannlicher M1895 (I don’t even need to explain) with Carcano M41 and Carcano M1891

Replace the Semovente with the M14, the M14 has MG like the crusader

And we could test the M14 skin from the event since we have the Lewis .303 and Cei Rigotti

Yes,
the only thing is that I’m not sure if it’s a post-war version or the rare MOD.43 version.

just like the airborne event,

i have no clue why people expect for these events to be historically accurate.

is it because there’s just enough and above average the amount of bolt actions compared to normal matches ?

cause it ain’t the case.

Assuming brit’s get the lee enfield (haven’t played them yet) the mannlicher is a much more fair counterpart as the carcano sucks.

Manlicher has cycling while aiming and really comfortable sights.

Lee enfield has such but with 10 rds and terrible sights.

Fair… willing to compromise for the balance atleast and me personally unless i was using carcano mod i always preferred manlicher.

Well, many Mannlicher rifles, captured during WWI, were used by Italian troops, but mostly colonial troops (Regio Corpo Truppe Coloniali), not national army troops.
Sure this rifle has been chosen for this event for balance reasons, being the most similar to Lee Enfield.

Yes italy did have quite amout of mannlicher from austro-hungary, but most of them went to italian EAST africa (AOI), i.e. ethiopia, erithrea and somalia.

And it’s an event after all.
If it is regular battle yes the balance should be carefully adjusted, but i think an event should concentrate more on immersion and HA cause it’s an event after all

Dunno I find the lee’s sights much more comfortable than manlicker.
But agree otherwise, they are much more balanced with each other than carcanos.

Like, why ?
Its EVEN fight pizza vs uk.
Not immersive nobody gives sht historically accurated fight pizza vs uk.
