I know I’ve been pushing my 2 recent posts for a good bit on here and even got some opinions, perhaps thoughts? Even advice anyone? Specifically from those i havent heard from.

Even fights for HA or similar to HA?
Say for berlin or even bagration (if added) if one of them are said Battles of the week. So there’ll be historically accurate squad line ups such as these
But then allow 3 extra spots. One for a vehicle of choice. Only those that were available for berlin in which case. And then 2 premiums/event squads from berlin. I also made an example for moscow in the previous posts, as well as ideas for new campaigns.

Also with the ability to have one vehicle and 2 premium squads simply for the diversity in combat roles such as engineers being able to build specialized fortifications such as HMG’s cannons etc and to allow the option of rather paratroopers or radiomen. So to both have preset squads (each have rather 1-2 engineers) to have the more common squads be historically accurate while the premium squads offer special roles.

Yeah I would love more even fight events with HA squads. The last events weren’t really HA.

Events with pre-made squads are literally the worst. I’ve always skipped those.
But it’s funny how some hacker always tops the leaderboards.
I personally thought they were fun. If they actually go through with bringing back even fight events in this fashion, then they can draw in a lot more new players on console and PC alike. A historically accurate PVP weekly battle like this wouldnt be much of an addition to ask for i infer. And those who may not have liked it like me back then, yourself, etc, we always have the option to just play the normal game instead of it. So it would be a good thing to add as a weekly thing (each week would be a different campaign of course) and it wouldnt be changing the br queues.

And thats why i always keep my crossplay off. Heard the tales of hackers on PC and did not want any part of it.

What technology tree do we need? It can only be said to be a garbage opinion
Tech tree? Its an even fight event with HA presets we’re talking about.
Ppsh41 vs mp40?
Not too sure about this, when there also was this if you take ss squads into account:
But don’t worry. Sovs weren’t pushovers:

That squads besides the ardennes didnt see much combat since not enough sturmgewehrs were made and used to turn the tide at the end of the war.
This squad, yeah it was intended for operation bagration but the sources i pulled on this post were for a the typical late war rifle company. Not the smg company.
Edit: let me correct myself actually, reading again now, they did see combat in the eastern front but the strumzug were not formed until AFTER operation bagration.
It was mostly to say that, there’s not too far fetched balanced and just enough historically accurate loadouts possible.
Mp40 vs ppsh41, obviously is not…
I still have flashbacks of Berlin campaign when the best axis smg was mp35 vs ppsh41. It was a Soviet paradise, an xp farm for them. And it was during that time I stupidly chose to lvl my axis Berlin faction 
Well when i tried to talk about restoring at “partial” HA, i was burned at the stake for it and i can see why now. Rather something is HA or not HA. Simple as that, trust me ive tried.
There most likely wasnt nearly as much premiums to buy as there is now. Besides, the germans have better bolt actions than the russians. With one placed shot can end the life of of even a russian with a ppsh. Just bc you have the better gun doesnt mean youll always win all the gun fights
But:
So yeah. Stg44 (or even mkb42h) vs ppsh41 is much better balanced AND historically accurate, than mp40 vs ppsh41 which also might be historical, but certainly not balanced in any way. By a big margin.
As for bolties, seriously they’re pretty much all equivalent.
if you go early war teams are unbalanced cause soviets and germans simply had different equipment and different infantry tactics which arent translated well into the game.
you basically have 1 mp40 and 1 mg34 with 2 assistant MG with pistols and 6 people with kar98k vs 2 drum ppsh41+1 dp27 + assistant gunner with mosin+ 1 svt38/40 + 6 mosins.
MG generally suck for attacking and clearing caps compared to smg and ppsh41 drum is way better than mp40, so HA event in PvP is generally bad idea.
at best you could do semi historical event based on current game squads, e.g. riflemen squads would only get BA rifles (so kar98k vs mosin), assaulters would get mp717r vs ppsh41 etc.

Fair but I couldn’t find any other sources besides the sturnzug structure that actually had soldier equipped with stg’s in their company/squad
