I agree with you, may the emperor protect us all from this stupidity

I was gonna make an poll like this when i get off work.
Like who legit though adding them was a good idea? A moron, that whos. Hopefully they realize that the player base doesn’t want this. (I doubt it though)

I’m new around here so I don’t know, but do devs actually listen to these kinds of polls?

If we had more people and posted feedback more often, it could work.
After all, the suppressed PPSh-49 was originally going to be added to the tech tree, but players pushed back and got it delayed.
But whether players can actually get it canceled for good or just delayed is another question.
They’ve almost certainly already finished all the code for it.
They’ll never just give up on it completely—they hate wasting work that much.
Maybe later, when we’ve all forgotten about it, they’ll drop a big update like:
“You think I listened to you? Nope. Now you’ve forgotten, so I’m adding it back.
You won’t complain as much this time.”
Just like the Japanese VT-4 tank—no way to tell for sure.

Well it was fun while it lasted, time to go back to TF2 I guess.

Yes, and no. I’ve had two “succesfull” (with caveats) campaigns within the last year.
-
One for removing the PPSh-41(S) as a tech tree item back in the “Forest Shadows” update.
-
The other about the Lewis Gun not being a event weapon for the Allies.
Those two, however, were pre-poll days…

Mind you that it is advertised as a limited class. They will put it in a marathon event or behind a special bp like zombie event squads anyway.
I don’t have much faith.

This update is named ‘after a new headline feature of it’.
With a name being ‘Hidden Thread’ it is fair to guess this class is the new headline feature (and most likely will be in a preorder pack as well).
I don’t think they’ll remove this class entirely and I don’t think there many ways to change it from planned form in meaningful way.

Anton’s intention here was to enrich the gameplay experience and cater to different player preferences.
But the problem is, there are only so many players. If everyone picks niche, individualistic roles, they’ll just end up ranting on the forums after losing five or six games in a row.
Just imagine: two players flying planes, two in tanks, two guerrillas, two special operatives, two snipers, and two regular sniper teams.
Then who’s going to capture the points, push forward, and fight on the front line?
Not to mention they’re so confident about it that they’ve even made four pre-order packs.
If we start a vote like this, we might just ruin their whole money-making plan.
They could even secretly tweak the RNG rates behind our backs, for all we know.
Haha, just kidding—ruining someone’s income is like killing their parents, after all.

Well, we eventually got Chinese ppsh41s premium squad. Big lose in my opinion. Devs can always justify adding bs on basis of limited availability.

Whilst it’s a long shot… I frankly don’t care.
I’m going to say things how I want them to be… I will not compromise…
Besides… People told me that removing the PPSh-41 (S) before the launch of the update was impossible… Turns out those people were wrong…
I live in hope… I would not spend this much energy on a game, repeatedly making groundbreaking petitions about sensetive topics, if I did not care passionately about it… I hope this won’t go unnoticed by the devs…

Honestly I would prefer no event than an event adding this abomination of a class.

Saboteurs as presented will certainly be disruptive, and not in a good way.
Hopefully they are taking the feedback they are receiving now, and not add a class of single soldier infantry spawns.

Only want it because it means i can finally use ppsh with a team that’s acceptable.
If this is a limited-time event, then it doesn’t matter. However, if it’s part of a historical battle in World War II, then it’s more harmful than beneficial.

I do not mind the features being kept for future use…
A “Even Fight : The Bulge” event would be interesting for example, with German soldiers being given the option of disguising themselves, as some did during this battle…
Everywhere else…? It’s wrong, it breaks with the historical record, and it breaks with the vision of the game as a squad-based shooter…

Probably pointless as most of the dev work has been done already but maybe the next time DF want to waste their time of pointless stuff the team leads might hopefully ask themself if it is really needed or fit into the game.
But then again that would mean they would need to player their own game, so that they could get feel for what enlisted actually is.

My understanding is that they’ll be event rewards for a event launche immediately upon the release of the update… All they’d have to do, is not host the event…
