During the 1939–1940 Soviet–Finnish war, an acute lack of individual automatic weapons led to the reintroduction of the stockpiled Fedorovs into service. They were sent to the Karelian front, mostly to military intelligence units.[16] It is presumed that most of the Fedorov Avtomats were expended or destroyed during that war.[22]
btw that was about 6000 rifles that were put in service then iirc.
edit: it seems i was wrong… they only built 3200 fedorovs in their run, so it is question of how many were actually even available for winter war.
that which is hard to understand about the balance and not seeing one map only cause someone wants to play with volkssturm weapons.
i wouldnt even have a problem if they put volkssturm weapons on t5 as optional weapons with them seeing only berlin. but with them in mandatory tech tree as t2-t3 weapons i am open to them being on all maps.
Everyone knows the age old tug of war between gameplay, immersion, and all that stuff
As with many things we all draw our lines differently. Like I said I can tolerate Panzers and the Luftwaffe defending the beaches of Normandy for core gameplay, but I’d prefer the defenders aren’t using MP 3008s
and this is the problem. everyone wants their version of the game. and for game most important thing is to have equipment balance so there is relatively fair fight.
I dont the feel the immersion of an M18 Hellcat if it cant even flank, let alone lights in general or the US TD Doctrine.
And thats why you dont make half baked things because then everyone complains why their own half baked definition isnt there or why Germany suffers because the Tiger is not in Moscow despite your vague rules of data.
The devs actually went with a clear definition in their old ad claiming that they only stuff that was in the campaign will be there (at least in the free grind). Obviously they didnt do it and it also has some flaws when it comes to premiums, but as old HA clown this makes more sense than with half-baked “semi-historical”, especially if you want to make a br/ mm, where you need clarity.
There’s no point in trying to make sense to some of these people. They see the situation in purely black and white and disregard or dislike any sort of actual compromise.
You’re basically advertising for a similar feeling the game was advertised with and has released with for a couple years since the CBT. However, they always refer to the same points:
HA/HI players are in the minority, despite there being threads that count over 10, 30, or even over 70 likes, alongside other communities outside the forum who are not please with this disregarding of players.
HA/HI players do not know what they want, despite all we have done is propose different suggestions that we hope will break a middle ground to find a solution (compromise is bad, I guess), yet here we are with the third testing of a arcade merge and people are still not happy with it, though I guess they know what they want while we don’t.
“CuStOm GaMeS” Which are still flawed in the sense of organization, experience gain, event progression, and persistency. All Custom Games is is an excuse to send things the devs don’t want to touch to die (lone fighters) or be in hospice care by the players. If Custom Games can be organized as easily and produce the same benefits as normal matchmaking, then there would be no pushback against the idea.
“Defeats the purpose of the merge”, despite them already going for a BR system now which is added onto the nation queues (which was not entirely different from what we suggested), although separating the equipment where they chronistically make sense is not ok. The main issue brought up before the merge was an idea was the tech tree was split. They could have merged that and added the possibility to queue for multiple campaigns, joining which ever campaign was the fastest to put together, but that’s not a good idea despite there being people who enjoy multiple campaigns and have completed multiple campaigns progression lines.
Overall, they’re dead set with agreeing with whatever the devs put together, which could ultimately kill the game or drive a portion of the player base away since they are removing the appeal of the game, which the development team has advertised it as, and still do through the official website and through content creators and advertisements using certain buzzwords they know will attract the sort of players that enjoy HA/HI games. There is no one to blame for this controversy aside from the department who does the games advertising, and the devs now no longer wanting to listen or cater to a decent portion of its player base.
Wow. 10-30 people. A lot. I think I got more likes in this week alone but who am I to judge about math?
Reddit?
FAR Less activity than on forum
Enlisted Facebook?
Im still waiting for those masses of HA Gernation 2 clowns but weirdly enough it always comes down to the 5 same clowns.
Half baked definitions or straight hypocricy where somehow a Mkb in Moscow is fine but not the M3008.
This alone should say something about the popularity if you put it on same level as lone wolf.
But I would say instead of making more ridicilious historical br mms I would waste my time making fun of, maybe push more in terms of custom battles because that is far more realistic than this but who am I to judge?
No on cared what you guys propsed because it sucks.
At this point, it is amusing that people dont realize that most people queue in campaigns because they want to farm bots.
Why is why most people just hang around Berlin and Normandy I think.
What portion? Those people tha tlove to shoot at bots only?
you are free to prove your “group” is significant.
So far havent seen a single one that would be
a) balanced
b) would make any sense considering theres reason for merge
yes, we have asked for populated & balanced games for years.
Not going to list every controversy that often pops up with “muh histori” suggestion.
Well I honestly dont see any otherway to please this gigantic HI/HA group which every each one seems to have different view.
BR is there for balance
merge is there to unite players from populated & unpopulated campaigns.
Quite simple.
Ik right, we even get paid for questioning your suggestions.
We are all after you.
Well it will die anyway so might as well try to make it fun while its dying.
You got customs for what ever is appealing to you.
Well, it really doesnt take too many games to figure out that this game isnt exactly HA or HI, for me atleast ( This is also one reason why you cant be pleased since each one of you have different view )
So if you stick to game that definitely isnt what you are looking for you cant really blame the devs for that can you ?
What exactly is this decent portion of playerbase ?
I reckon it could be done. you might not like it but it could be done.
Fedorov for example would need what essentially would be considered a nerf. From what I read, Fedorovs were handed out with only 1-3s magazine and was common practice to reload with Stripper clips.
or you could add overheat mechanic as it was notorius. God the overheat mechanic sucks
That nerf alone would probably make it early war placeable. Would people like it?..My guess is noooooooooooooooo haha
Yet in the process remove the actual appeal of the game and disparage any suggestion that would try to preserve both the appeal of the game alongside simplification of matchmaking. If you guys want balance over accuracy so much, why do we even separate the weapons by nation at this point? Make it like old WW2 FPS games where the Thompson is equivalent in stats to the MP40. Or simply allow any nation to have any weapon.
You have no idea to preserve the feel of immersion in the game? Then instead of fighting back against every suggestion actually listen and try to compromise or concede on things that would result in the betterment of the game for a larger and long-lasting population. The reason why there are “so many different views” as you stated, is because we actually want to try and compromise since the issue isn’t black and white and we understand that the game is a game and not a 1:1 representation to life. It’s the reason that we acknowledge that, that our opinions or suggestions are trashed.
BR is still different queues. There are 5 BRs and 4 nations, which result in 20 Queues (some may overlap). We currently have in the campaign setting 6 campaigns with 2 nations each which end up in 12 Queues, yet we’re the ones adding too many queues, right?
Never implied you work with the devs, but it seems you’d rather suck up to their opinions as law then actually reasonably discuss these matters with nuance.
Well, at least one side of this argument isn’t trying to kill the game.
Suffering with trash equipment to level 26 as axis in moscow while the opposite team gets gud stuff from get go ?
Quite sure many wont miss that feature and even if they do, you know what ? They can go to custom games and enjoy that fun fun all over again.
Except there havent been a single suggestion that would have “fixed” this, instead would have made things just way worse.
I dont really mind.
You mean like custom games ?
Im pretty sure this past year since announcement of merge.
Each “Fantastic” suggestion this HI/HA group has made, has been in detail explained why it
a) Doesnt work
b) Makes things just alot worse
But yet, the exact same suggestions keeps appearing as “New ideas” rather frequently.
It kind of is ?
HA = No balance
I dont even have to explain it any further than that.
Yes certain BR levels will overlap
And currently we have 1 sided campaigns and unbalanced games. Which your “suggestions” havent exactly “fixed”
Did it ever occur to you that perhaps your suggestion is just shit and doesnt work ?
Ah yes, is this the same argument that if we go your way hordes of HA people will unite and come to this game and spend millions ?
With trusted trustmebro source ?
Which was one of the points where I said “combine the tech trees” since this system of continuously adding updates of levels per campaign, which added OP weapons for the sake of balance and to keep the game seemingly not dead was not a good idea, and helped get us in this predicament in the first place.
So there will still be at minimum 12 queues (which some people claimed were not enough due to the BR levels overlapping)
You can’t just make unsubstantiated claims of something not working when you haven’t done it. If anything, the merge so far has not worked within the three testings it’s had so far. So my ideas are working a lot better than this merge has.
That’s ironic with how popular the merge is on the forums right now considering how forum staff has to do damage control more actively.
Well, you stated you don’t want the game to improve and last a long time since it would die anyways, so you want whatever you view to be a quick thrill before abandoning it.
Quite sure the moscow was unbalanced from get go.
Only the last levels brought adequate tools for axis.
So what exactly is the fix you are suggesting here ? Removing half of soviet gear or ?
And way larger playerpool as ques are not limited to certain campaigns.
Sure, go make a custom game with your “suggestions” bring back evidence of hordes of HA/HI players enjoying your custom game.
Im sure someone will listen to you once you bring some actual facts to table.
Yeah ik right, tighten up the tinfoil winter is coming.
Quite sure it will improve especiatly to direction I like populated games & balance.
This game will eventually die thats a fact you just jumped to conclusions while maintaining that victim attitude.
That’s because the Germans advantage were their MGs, which is why the focus was more so on MGs for Germans and SMGs for Soviets, although we are three years in with MGs preforming like garbage so it has less to do with the weapons presented and more so with the mechanics surrounding them.
Explain to me how a minimum of 12 queues (based on the system of overlapping they explained) is less than the current 12 queues? Also there would not be a larger playing pool as 12 = 12. If there is a larger playing pool than the game would be unbalanced since it would disregard BRs and just go with nation queues.
Well, Tommy’s Big Action Mode is proof of something being supported by the community that is done and implemented better than what the devs have proposed/done. It is not my fault nor the other players that Custom Games is such an inconvenience to access. The devs would actually need to make Custom Games viable before anyone actually takes that “go to Custom Games” serious.
Also I saw in another thread apparently that one was the “284th post regarding HA” yet we supposedly are a minute part of the community and only consist of “the same 5 individuals”. Maybe you should take off your tinfoil hat and come back to reality.
“Victim attitude” Victim of what? You’re just lashing out insults because you fail to see the value of ensuring a long lifespan of the game. The changes the devs are making are unpopular based on how they chose to implement them. It’s a situation that was better on paper. You guys literally dogpile on any post with a mention of HA or Immersion and still manage to get out liked on most of them.
