Replacements for British weapons in Normandy - M1917 Enfield

I think/expect that the long term goal will be to remove most British weapons in the Normandy Campaign and replace them with American weapons. As such, I would like to suggest the M1917 Enfield as a replacement for the current British Enfield. This would have minimal game impact and allow for another U.S. produced and issued bolt action rifle in the game. Despite its production numbers, I was quite surprised to learn this rifle even existed, let along its ubiquitousness during WW1.

The M1917 Enfield was actually produced in significantly higher numbers than the M1903 Springfield during WW1, and similar to the Springfield it continued to be issued to some units at the beginning of WW2. Ii’s a great fit for a combat unit like the engineer where use of his rifle might be necessary but wouldn’t be his primary job.

Other replacement weapon suggestions or thoughts on the M1917 welcome!

Also, I love the game; keep up the good work devs!

Its makes alot more sense then the ross. The ross was produced and used far less than the 1917 and was just a home guard rifle by WWII
