More Type 38 Rifles-2
Type 38 Rifle (Short)
During the late 1930s and early 1940s, an unknown number of Type 38 rifles were modified at the Nagoya Arsenal to become short rifles. The barrel was shortened from the standard 794 millimeters (31.3 inches) to 635 millimeters (25.0 inches), the stock was shortened to match the barrel, while the forearm retained its original length.
The final result was the Type 38 light rifle, which had a similar size to the Type 99 light rifle. Since the rifles were converted from the existing stock, there was no consistency in serial numbers or armory markings. Although the total production quantity is unknown, it is estimated to be approximately 100,000.
（The picture provided shows the “Japanese Type 38 Cavalry Rifle”）
Although this weapon is very similar to the 【Type 38 Cavalry Rifle】,
But when actually compared together,
Then you will discover their differences.
Because this type of short-barreled rifle was developed by modifying the original gun, the production process was completely different.
These disparities are sufficient to treat it as a new type of weapon.
It is speculated that this is because as the war progressed,
The Japanese army discovered that the firepower of the Type 38 rifle was excessive, and the long barrel caused a series of inconveniences. Therefore, while manufacturing carbines, they also converted some long rifles into short rifles.
Do you hope to see this kind of weapon in our game?
(Although this weapon has no distinctive features, the introduction of a new weapon means that it might enable the formation of a new event response team… ？）
3 Topics on virtually the same suggestion. Really… another kriegerfaust?
So a weapon with no distinctive features you’d like to be added to alongside an event squad which will require effort to grind? Jfc. Getting worse and worse as i read.
These kind of events happened already in the past, with the type 99 long. What you forgot is that squads with seemingly no ‘new’ weapons still find a use due to the harsh squad limits that are in place.
People need more than 3 infantry squads.
And adding some piss poor event squad that will be alongside 20k per 2 day event is not the answer to that, pay up.
You are mental. Demanding money, that isn’t even going to you, for a basic feature of a game, that also has been removed unfairly in the past?
Well, instead of giving the game money and having the luxury everyone does you want to waste MY possible enjoyment by adding ANOTHER slop event. I like the events because they provide unique content.
Are you classifying an actual event squad as a slop event? Would you call the UC carriers slop events? Or the french Yak-3? Or even the event fire bomb planes? Because there is a premium alternative to those?
No. Because those are useful and effective in battle, unlike the yak 3 and this proposed suggestion.
I guess meta would be a better way to describe them… this is BR1 where most are rifles anyway.
It’s fine if you want some more low tier stuff or even BR1 but making them event nah.
Type 99 long is unique in the fact it has a flag… this is just a short barrel? Event squad? No thank you… event weapon? I suppose i could understand giving 1 or two but this should be tech tree if you want more choice
Austen and sten supressed although used to be BR2 are both unique… unique squads and weapon.
So type 99 is unique because of it’s diffrent look… But this one isn’t? When do we cross the line?
And You say that the Yak-3 isn’t useful, yet it’s obvious that for a person with only one vehicle slot being able to bring both a plane and tank into the fight is going to be very useful. Same with infantry squads, yet you say to ‘not waste your time’ with such events. Pretty sure there’s a whole damn F2P playerbase that’s going to appriciate this. But you don’t care, you want them to ‘pay up’
Besides, easy-to-make event squads like this could make such opportunities for new players more frequent without disrupting the making of actual ‘unique’ event squads.
You have a point which i thought about after making the comment… Arguably a flag is less than the barrel length however its more prominent… makes you stand out to players… you would not be recognized at all with just a shorter barrel… furthermore how much of an impact would it have on its performance?
Bringing a plane restricted to only MGs/cannons is hampering your teams CAS capabilities when you have one of the best options, lend lease P40… all so you can selfishly use your event squad slot?
Being of french origin in the soviet union and a flag are much more prominent than a barrel length.
Event squads aren’t so you can have freedom of choice for your lineups… simply put… the whole IDEA of that is to be a paid feature… so yes pay up if you want the luxury of choosing which vehicle you want. i paid for a total of 11 slots on each nation to do that and you want to waste everyone’s time with an event centered around a not even unique squad just so you can have the luxury of what… uh… using a rifleman squad?
The two premium/event slots are a great asset to newer players who are able to at least grind the events… i wouldn’t advise pushing your luck.
I’m sure a whole playerbase will appreciate grinding 20k per 2 day for a squad with a rifle that’s barely different than the one in the tech tree.
Don’t understand you using this logic with such a piss poor reward… let’s be honest here… it’s a shorter barrel of a tech tree rifle? That’s not unique enough to justify event status… that is tech tree material… now may i be grasping too much onto that part? maybe.
Unless they were put in the mini events which we both know they won’t do that’s illogical as they barely are putting out a stream of good events currently… amounting to one squad per each.
Event squads are unique… you’re devaluing that factor by putting it in quotations because you know that weapon is not justified of event status… it’s only so you can have the freedom of squad selection without paying… so now we unveil the true motive behind this.
