My two cents on "Changes suggested after testing the update"

In short:

  1. Just allow all engineers to use specific automatics, not just the ones in Stalingrad at higher tier matches.
  2. Squad stuff is nice, please keep it in some form and allow us to unlock more.
    3.Wait for match making stuff to get hammered out.

In long:

  1. That way there is no, “Oh you missed out on buying a crap ton of Stalingrad engineers to equip with avt-40’s and MP 43’s? Well I guess you don’t get to use them then.”. It’s not that we will all use auto weapons on higher tier matches, it’s that we give the option to better fight back against those who do to those who haven’t mastered the heavenly divine BA arts. Not that I am calling automatics a crutch, just that I feel like a scumbag using anything other than BA when most I face are also using them. (That and when I need a bolt action to snipe a MF’er and I am holding an inaccurate turd of a weapon)

I say worry about balance after the merge has been out a while. The more freedom we the players have the better so we can experience how good or bad it is. That and most of those squads will be turned to dust before they can even touch the objective because vehicle spam will be the real issue. Ever play Normandy as of late? You destroy one Sherman and five more pop up, you destroy one plane and another shows up behind you. Who cares about how many flamethrowers or assaulters you bring if engineers and AT squads will be almost mandatory just to whack all of the flipping bomb launchers pointing at the objective?

I think that limiting who has automatic weapons is a good thing, but consider… Say the match making finally gets hammered out, should such restrictions be in place at the highest tier? Shouldn’t you be able to equip all of your soldiers with whatever you want(within reason) even knowing full well the meta will be m2’s, as44’s, type 97’s and stg44’s? I say only in lower tiers than the highest should such restrictions apply for the sake of both balance and variety.

As it stands, the current proposals by the dev are ok’ish, but not as good as they could be. The unique squads unlocks/banner/nationality/image/camo/theme would be nice to retain in some form and expand upon. The engineers being changed to not use automatics should be rethought when the matchmaking tiers are finally around. (That and what about the muh fughin Normandy fg42 & m2 for engineers??)

Oh, it would be nice to retain the unique squads you’ve unlocked in some way. Maybe a squad patch selector or similar in the squad interface?

Thanks for reading.

When stating Type 97 you mean ATR?
Becouse the only all-round meta weapon that i can think of in Japanese rooster is Arisaka R38 with GL xD.

As to the topic, Stalingrad Engineers should be counted as a bug and fixed.

Well, it wasn’t a bug. They explicitly said that they would be able to use assault rifles afterwards, but restricted to Stalingrad Engineer squads, which I don’t think would have been a major issue. The ‘bug’ was that it wasn’t attached to Stalingrad Engineer squads, but the Stalingrad Engineers themselves and they could be moved anywhere.

??? slavs will still equip the AVT since it’s a riflemen weapon in berlin

Best semi-auto in the game. :wink:

I mean there are a lot of automatics for the common soldier currently. I think mm should be the deciding factor and just allow them to use it at higher mm. Rather than axing their ability to use them entirely.
