Instead of the AVT-40 they should have added an SVT-40 with a 20 round magazine and instead of the MkB the ZH-29 with a 20 rnd. magazine.
That way there would be no SF spam. You would think DF would have learned something from Berlin and Normady, but I guess they didnt…
I’ve considered giving the MKb to assaulters, but I couldn’t find any AVT counterparts. I haven’t thought about the ZH-29 with bigger magazine (15 or 20 rounds), and while it certainly is an option, I have a very big problem with the ZH-29 - it was examined by the land forces, but was rejected, and yet we see it in the regular progression. I mean, imagine the US soldiers in Normandy running around with the Pedersen or Johnson rifles.
As for the tanks, I think devs did that correctly - the T-34E STZ has a better gun and a thicker frontal plate (60mm at 60° vs 75mm at 31° for the KV-1) than the KV-1.
I’ve unlocked it there and that’s why I want it in other campaigns. It’s awesome, especially while prone or mounted - then its recoil drops to almost zero. Besides, it was used on the Eastern Front, not in Normandy, so its place is there.
“I mean, imagine the US soldiers in Normandy running around with the Pedersen or Johnson rifles.”
You never know what the next update will bring: D
And yes, there in zh-29 in Moscow and here too, so I think there would hardly be a problem here. It is not uncommon for campaigns to have the same weapon coming in at a later level. I also think it is relatively “easy” and quick to solve (not to downplay the work that involves such a small change, texture, animation, etc.). Maybe it could even be solved for release. I thought of the t-34 (not the E, but the normal t-34, which is also worth the paid package, right) because a lot of Russian “cryers” (not out of hurt) complain that it’s paid. Who make up a significant portion of the player base to my knowledge. There might be a little less resistance from the players. Which I don’t think would be bad for the current situation. I think you also rearranged the campaign levels to make it a little more acceptable / better. And I think no matter where kv-1 or t-34 are, there will be real ass pain to fight them with both pz3 variants.
I think it would be good if they added some Stalingrad specific / iconic AFVs as well, like the StuH’42 and the Sig33 B, given their rarity, I’d be happy for them to be premium.
For the Soviets, perhaps some more lend lease options - Valentines, Matildas or perhaps an M3 Lee
As for the ZH-29, again, I know it could be done, but I didn’t do it because of what I said earlier. I mean, this weapon has more “rights” to be a battle pass weapon for Americans (in .276 Pedersen) than an unlockable weapon for Axis. So I really wouldn’t like it being a top weapon for Germans in Stalingrad, especially in two variants.
I thought about the tanks for Soviets here, but I came to the conclusion that both KV-1 and T-34 are iconic enough for people to be happy. But if not, I think that the best solution is making KV-1 level paid and making T-34E STZ level free. This way Soviets would have a free T-34 and Axis would still have a free Pz. IV. Also, I hope that the Pz. IIIN will have HEAT rounds. If so, it won’t be a problem for it.
I’m all for adding the StuH 42, but I’d be a bit worried for how the StuIG 33B would do with its reload. As for more Lend-Lease vehicles, I don’t think adding them is possible without adding new levels to this campaign. And judging by what they added to the top levels right now (MKb 42(H) and PPSh-41), I don’t think there will be any more new levels.
I want that Sniper Gewher 41. Fuck the Pre-war Kar98k, it’s useless dogshit.
Can’t agree more! Impressive.
ppsh for axis is still good for me, so i like minimum version
NO
why not to give it RS-132? 100kg bombs (moscow Pe-3) are just useless
Used to have those. Got removed for… reasons.
anyway, 100kg are useless
Sure, why not. I just think that the Pe-3 is a way better counterpart of the Potez 633 than the A-20G-25 when it comes to the armament (both offensive and defensive).
Did mp41(r) have a drum magazine?
No, it was chambered for the 9mm Parabellum and used MP 40 magazines. I included it here because I wanted to make asymmetrical balance - give Soviets the best SMG and Germans an actual assault rifle.
If the devs make the mkb a perfect rifle like the mp43
I think putting mp41(r) in place of ppsh would be a good solution.
Well, considering that they are actually listening and limited the battle/assault rifles to Engineers and Assaulters, they might as well buff it now.
I think so, too.
So, this happened: Important changes in Stalingrad
Two main positive changes here are making the PPSh-41 level free and limiting the battle/assault rifles to assaulters and engineers.
The third thing it changes for better is that there won’t be two paid levels in a row. This is a big thing for f2p players.
But I still have two issues with this progression; one big, and the other - a bit smaller.
First issue is this:
The simplest (and I think the best) solution would be to take those two engineer slots from the squad upgrade tab, so that the maximum would be 4, not 6 engineers (more less like every other squad). Or maybe even to make its squad progression the same as that of the AT squad - 3 soldiers of the squad specialization and 3 other specialist (or 6 troopers).
Second issue is that I don’t quite see the AVT-40 - a battle rifle, as an assaulter weapon.
And here’s my solution to that issue, and my new “ideal” version of the progression:
Again, here’s the key:
And here are changes, starting with the least important ones:
