Soviet playerbase being forgotten in events?

Hello comrades!

I do not want to talk about anything being unbalanced or suggestions or anything.

The new event is basically great same as the battlepass, but me as a member of the soviet fanbase, i got to say that events and battlepass are great except for the soviets. It feels like they get completely ignored lastly.

The new battlepass added new gold order vehicles, every faction got some except the soviets. Not a single vehicle in any of the three campaigns, which was an incredible disappointment after waiting 100 days for the new battlepass…

Next event. It is great idea to have events like the armory one, they are fun to play. But again ā€œwestern alliesā€ and germany special rewards? Last event also included very nice profile pics (the ones with the soldeir becoming more veteran the more points you got) but again only for a western soldier.

I do not say that the others should not get any rewards.
I am just a little sad that the soviets got basically nothing special lately… Maybe also a little reward for them in the next event?

Well, after playing a few matches in Berlin, I’d say Berlin campaign is basically the best place to introduce various modern and even experimental units - it’s already pretty depressing playing as the axis player, might as well give it all they’ve got (or, whatever is left out there).

As for events - I’d prefer events that apply to all campaigns, rather than being dependent on 1.

Moscow and Stalingrad are probably… going to get kind of boring with mostly german equipment - I’d want to see axis minor countries equipment hanging around.
Soviets could also get some lend-leased toys - which could also open up that sweet transfer weapons feature from eastern front to western and vice-versa.

Well, this battle pass, we get Soviet generals as portraits (along usa and commonwealth)

It will never happen for axis so… Soviets don’t have it this bad :thinking:

Thats sad for the germans, i know, but to be fair, the portraits will be taken away again. Also if i remember correctly, no promises, but i think i heard that the next battlepass should include axis generals

We hoped they would include them too…

But it’s the opposite: they reinforce their censorship rules (showing clear double standards).

The memes of the black square faction now abound.

My avatar got censored once (even if it’s full on Canadian flags) and many others got the same treatment for showing Yamamoto or Rommel.

It’s a pity considering that for a ww2 game, the first need is two belligerent factions… The Soviets didn’t fight ghosts or figments of imagination for crying out loud!

The last event that had anything to do with Soviets was Victory Day but they have yet to get anything unique e.g. weapons or vehicles since the Kalashnikov SMG squad and the 76mm BT-7 instead of a repainted PPS-43 despite they do get lots of gold weapons lately.

The other event squads are more useful than the PPK-42 tbh while the BT-7 uh T-34 and KV-1 are better.

Eh, relative to the campaign they are in, they all get replaced relatively quickly, the Bren can do everything the Charlton can but better, the silenced Sten isn’t even in the same league as the M1A1 Thompson much less the overstamp, why run the silenced MP 40 when you can have the MP 43/1, or hell even the Beretta M38, and the PPK gets overshadowed by the drum mag SMG. As for the vehicles, all the event vehicles are strict downgrades from things that can be unlocked in the campaign, with the only thing you might be able to argue being the P-47D-22-RE, which at most you can argue is a sidegrade.

Do they count it as a premium squad for Dual Weapons?

Yes, it seems to be both event squads and premium squads.

bt with tbe 76 Cannon? it was the big event lol

Yes I agree Sergei. I think a Soviet citizen partisan squad or commando group would be awesome for an event squad :slight_smile: . For example, a partisan squad for the Soviets and Hungarian Army squad for the Axis in Stalingrad would be very welcome and interesting for both sides’ players :).

Additionally, the Western allies and Axis have been given particularly special attention for the spec ops squads. I recently proposed Soviet combat divers who had a niche but very important role throughout the war, including Moscow and Volga river crossings! Just look at how cool these steampunk assassins are hehe :wink:

My suggestion is here for reference with some more detail Future Spec ops squad idea .

Most of all, I really hope Stalingrad campaign is not forgotten. A few maps and interesting squads could go a long way for the community.

Just curious what is a cool weapon we could see for the soviets as a new event weapon perhaps? I play primarily as the soviets in game but I am tired of getting PPsH type weapons . I’d like a cool semi auto !

well you’re being quite dishonest / disingenuous.

last time there were events, soviet got a few squads, vehicles and even free gold order soldiers.

out of 5/6 events that we had, half of them had something for russians.

so, it’s not the end of the world if in a few events, there won’t be something for them. ( as there’s always one next ).

beside, since you only play russia, within the events you still got ( and still have ) the chance to use the gold order to spend for a soviet weapon/soldier/whatever.
