Weapons and vehicles of the "Far Eastern Front" update

Ahh, 1942 Egypt. More open maps and a true map picking system, so you’d have a good use for your rifles / sniper rifles.

I’m a little tired of saying the same thing, but this document is from 1926, when the Nambu assault rifle wasn’t even in the planning stages.

Is this a sign that much of the Chinese faction will end up in the soviet tree? (My schizo theory is the communist chinese at least will be a subfaction for the soviets eventually? Which is fine by me as long as their squads are reskinned for the “west fronts”, aka Stalingrad or etc.)

I mean, should be an event weapon imo, however not the most offensive item and will be nice for the rare BR3 Italian lineup.

BR4 is kinda crazy, however Im not entirely against it, I just hope this is a sign that casemate tank destroyers will be moving down in the future.

Very cool, and nice to see the prone mechanic being used to balance it a bit here, I jsut hope the AI will be able to use this weapon as well.

Finally, very happy to see it.

Thank god, amazing to see.

Same, I would love to see more Chinese Representation… I don’t know why, I just like China to be represented.

Elefant for BR V instead! Ferdinand to Elefant and raise it to BR V

Yeah I have my doubts too, I really hope the devs implement what was suggested in here to allow hipfire only with it while stood up.

I mean, I’d want it to be able to be used like any other MG in the game, but…oh, well.

The one time the devs finally decided to bless the Allies with a good machine gun on BR IV, they of course have to do some…silly stuff…to be nice about it. LOL

Exactly, there is no need to make the tech tree bloated with copy-paste guns. Ofenrohr in 3 nations is making me sick already. I’d appreciate expanding the mechanics, improving the reload animations (some are done beyond the field of view, like in PzB), adding the zoomed-in reload to more rifles, making the default tank wrecks movable and penetrable, etc.

Does Japan have assault rifles? Is there any information that can prove their existence?

Still no new APC? Come on man, its an APC were talking about

Cool, will make an Asian BR I squad with it

I always liked this machine gun so addition is nice

Put it in BR V please

That wrap is for carrying, either you make certain heavy guns usable only when prone or none at all. Make that decision finally please.

I wish it could be low BR and work in similar way as MKB, for high BR captured Fedorov would make some sense

Please also make a post about new customization!
I really hope to see new uniforms for Japan, the Soviets also should get those hats

If you at least gave some kind of reasoning why this
weapon is coming to the Soviet tech tree… Mosins aren’t trendy anymore, so let’s just fill the Red Army with Chinese guns… :man_facepalming:t3:

It would be really great if the developers backed up these made-up explanations with some actual sources. They just assume that Italians used the KE7 in their colonies… in reality, Ethiopia had some amount of KE7 (?), but hey, nothing stops them from imagining that Italy kept using them in its colonies after the war with Ethiopia… We’re really getting close to a point where, for the sake of “new weapons,” we’ll end up unifying existing factions more and more…

I’m gonna turn my USSR squad’s into Chinese squads. They got some Asian looking faces and I’ll give them Chinese names! Hopefully they add the T-26 (Chinese) as a Supply drop/Event reward to go with that stuff!

I hope they will add the Chinese faces to the customization pool then, as Im not the biggest fan of Mickey Mouse eared one

There’s a few others that I’ve seen.

I know, but they look just like they have the same syndrome

Yeah idk why Enlisted makes their faces look so bad
