After the major updates, I have some complaints to make about the gun selection.
First of all, the machine guns were changed, with the Soviet DP-27 turning into the Madsen and the German MG-38 turning into the MG-13. Now, I do not mind “rare” weapons even if they don’t make much sense, it makes the game more unique and puts the spotlight on not so well known weapons. My problem with this, however, is that they seem to be fully replacing weapons like the previously mentioned machine guns which were way more iconic and present during the Battle of Moscow. Of course, all of this is a no-no for me.
Second of, some of the weapons like the SVT-40 and the non-sniper SVT-38 have also been removed for some reason. This doesn’t seem necessary to me and it is a bit weird to just get rid of these weapons for no apparent reasons.
In the end, I do not expect these weapons change to be permanent, but to not properly warn the community of it is itself a bit confusing and worrying. I think Gaijin has handled the game quite well so far but there are always these small quirks, that can seem to be way bigger than they actually are, that sometimes slip out. I believe this is one of them and thus why I’m addressing it.
