I was recently finishing the setup for one of my squads when I encountered the following message: the "handgranate 328" grenade is not available for purchase. In the two years I’ve been playing, this is the second time I’ve seen this exact message—and for the very same item. I wanted to ask if there is some kind of purchase limit for items like these.
While on this topic, I wanted to ask about the possibility of purchasing items belonging to sub-factions—such as the melee knives used by the Italians and British, or the backpacks worn by Soviet assault troops (which are of Chinese origin)—since I’ve noticed that for all these items, there is an option to “sell,” but no option to “buy.”
I do find this quite annoying.l, and I hope someday they’ll let us. Although currently what I do is just buy a British MG or Italian MG soldier and just take their knife off them before selling them. Sure it’s expensive for a knife, as you end up losing 150 silver per purchase as opposed to only 100 for an axe or sword, but at least I have faction appropriate gear now.
It only works with soldiers that are Italian by default when you recruit them, these are machine gunner tier I and engineer tier I soldiers. They come with Carcano 41 and Italian knife (engineer with shovel!) instead of G33/40 and German knife like German soldiers (every other class).
If we cant have subfaction identification of allied equipment then we should get rid of british and italian equipment as a whole then… it just clogs up the menu anyway.
I mean how could you say that? There is literally nothing wrong with choice… and them getting rid of the german designation of italian impact was extremely idiotic… and for some reason people find it reasonable to defend that.
