Red - 69.9%(51 votes): “It should be avoided unless it’s in purpose of filling the gaps or inevitable situations”
Blue - 15.1%(11 votes): “I hate copy paste weapons, DF should ban/replace all existing copy paste things as possible”
Yellow - 12.3%(9 votes): “I’m totally fine with copy paste weapons”
Green - 1.4%(1 vote): “i think it should be avoided, but it is undeniable that weapons like the kar 98k were used in almost all campaingns that involved germany”
Purple - 1.4%(1 vote): “i have no problem with copy paste weapons as it is historically accurate according to world war 2 but locking the same thing with the same intense grind is really irritating and that should be changed”

It shows that more than the ¾ of participants are somewhat opposed to copy paste, while only 13.7% are neutral to copy paste.

Blue - 42.5%(31 votes): Pacific
Orange - 12.3%(9 votes): Stalingrad
Pink - 9.6%(7 votes): Sino-japanese war + 1 vote for second sino-japanese war
Olive green - 8.2%(6 votes): Invasion of France
Red - 4.1%(3 votes): Invasion of Poland
2.7%(2 votes): for each Greece front, Winter(continuation) war, south italian front ( + 1 vote for invasion of sicily), korean war, Ardennes offensive(battle of bulge)
1.4%(1 vote): for each Burma front, italo-ethiopian war, Vietnam war, don’t care, expand current campaigns.

Still the Pacific is the most voted front, but there are many minor demands on various campaigns. Stalingrad, the second most voted campaign only got 12.3% portion of answers.

I merged some of answers into other answers to make it easy to see. Also, I ignored some answers who choose for Stalingrad.

16 votes for painful grind again
33 votes for repeating gears
41 votes for tired of another soviet vs german campaign
10 votes just not interested in Stalingrad
2 votes for more french stuff
1 vote for “Yet another urban full auto clown fiesta. It is not necessary to have Berlin clone.”
1 vote for change of scenery

Many people(including myself) seem not really welcoming another soviet vs german campaign since we already have 2 of them. As well as repeating gears compare to other more unique campaigns.

Blue - 41.1%(30 votes): Improving(polishing) already existing campaign, gears and maps + 1 vote for improving existing features
Red - 30.1%(22 votes): Adding new things (via new weapon, map, campaign)
Purple - 13.7%(10 votes): Adding new features (bayonet charge, foxhole with shovels etc)
Green - 8.2%(6 votes): Balancing the game
2.7%(2 votes): better AI
1.4%(1 vote): better gameplay

I personally don’t like gaijin style patch. They add new stuff to attract people without improving the game itself. It is a very myopic solution to run the game in my opinion, therefore i don’t like it.

In brief, there are the result of the poll. I hope this poll help Darkflow to know what the user want and make decisions based on user’s demands.

noice.

adding my input because i missed this and want people to see it.

I’m ok with copy paste weapons (IE, MP-38 and MP-40, or the MP43/1 and MP43) only if i dont have to grind for them. One and done unless theres significant change. The prime example is the M3 and M3A1: virtually identical guns, yet i still have to grind them individually, and i dont get anything new until a whopping 11 levels later, and its a gun that i unlock in the first 10 in another campaign, wasnt adopted by my faction, and is equal at best to the M3A1 (sten does less damage, has the same general accuracy and fires slightly faster). Then all of a sudden i unlock two nearly identical thompsons and the lanchester in 9 levels.

I’m more than ok with having 6 variations of the Thompson IF and only IF i dont have to grind for all six of them. Let me grind the “Thompson Platform” and then at Logistics choose which one i want at that moment. Unique models like the Hyde 35 are still good for events, but the M1-M1A1-M1A2 should not be individual grinds; its just a wall that makes me not want to play.

This extends elsewhere too; Mp43/1, MP43, MP-44, STG-44 and MkB-42 H are fine but not as individually grinded weapons.
Moscow? theres like 8 mosins by this point. Imagine how bad it would get if Devs started adding in Polish weapons or the rejected designs to grind too.
