Iconic, widely used weapons locked behind pay walls

So with the new premium packs for Normandy we get Germans using a European made BAR varient, neet .

But for the Americans a widely used an iconic weapon the 1918 BAR just got locked behind a 20$ pay wall for something that’s supposed to be a fairly common weapon for American forces

this is a ww1 variant and saw limited use in ww2

M1918a1 and M1918a2 will be free

Fair enough if true. But with the devs not being vocal about it everyone who looks at the store page just sees that the BAR has a pay wall on it

don’t worry

3 different variants of BAR were used in ww2 by the US

It is true. The early model wasn’t used for very long and was quickly replaced by the A1/A2. By 1944 I’m sure no one had the original BAR on the beaches

It was used by some troops so making it premium is a great thing

I mean the units in Normandy. Still in use? sure. used by rangers and airborne? No. they would have the most modern equipment which is why as a premium its fine.

The squad that has them is a regular infantry platoon

Which wouldnt be accurate but who cares its a premium. the 1918A1 came out in 38. By 44 it was gone from front line units
