Uh, why are there US Civil War era combustible paper cartridges on the table in the pacific practice range?

Another example of the art department being completely clueless about what actually is appropriate for World War II, these are the same people that put HESCO barriers all over the map in the Pacific

I hope they give the US its own Civil War era melee weapon to go along with it, the whip.

Japanese 6.5 mm rifle cartridges are also wrong, their model are outdated round-nose 30th year type cartridge, not standard sharp-nose Type 38 cartridge lol
I think that’s probably because the 6.5mm Arisaka was first added to the game before closed alpha, with the Federov (before it became available in Berlin and Moscow recently) and the premium engie squad in moscow, in russian service they both would have been using type 30 ammo because that’s what Russia and then the USSR would have had in inventory from the WW1 days. Would have been nice to see type 38 in the pacific though, should do a little more damage, and the current slower ammo combined with the godawful japanese barleycorn sights makes hitting anything kind of a bitch.
*edit: I got Japanese Imperial calendar and Gregorian confused again, I’m not sure what ammo the Fedorov and russian service Arisakas would have been using, but it’s probably more likely to have been Type 38, and the reduced muzzle velocity was because of the comparatively shorter barrel. Noticing that the Type 38 rifle in the pacific has 770m/s muzzle velocity, I’m still confused why the type 38 carbine has 735m/s when its barrel is slightly shorter than the Fedorov’s, which has 660m/s.
