Why some wepons (and one vehicle) aren't in the live server but were in the test?

Wepons and vehicles (from what I can remember):

STG-44
MG-34
M1 carbine
thompson submachine gun
B.A.R
P-51D
Bazooka

those are very iconic wepons and vehicles kinda sad to not see them, why they aren’t in game?

I think it is the same situation as in Moscow campaign, that also lacks some iconic weapons. We are still in the closed beta, so I think that those weapons will come to the game later - we know that they have them modelled etc, so it would we waste of resources to completely throw them out.

Yeah but we already played with those wepons in 2 different tests…
They are ready I don’t understand why…

Maybe that is why now we can test different weapons instead. They gathered data from previous Normandy tests, now they want us to test something else.
Don’t get me wrong, I also want them in game. But its obvious that CBT would not have all content.

Yeah that’s what I thought but this put the american side in big disadvantage, the P51C got only 4×.50 cals when the P51D had 6×.50 cals.

The Germans got 3 different SMGs (without the premiums) and the US got 1 SMG

Germany got 2 semi auto guns and the US only one…

yes, M3, M3A1 and M2 are totally 1 SMG toghetter.
And no, you totally do not get 2 shotguns alongside with that.
And we actually only get the G43, while the US gets M1 carbine and M1 garant, so it’s in fact the other way around, with the US getting 2 semi’s while Germany only gets 1.

The M3 was in the first alpha test of Normandy, but was noticably missing from the previous Normandy tests.

I’m happy to see it back.

Smh first I said without the premiums (so remove the M2) second what is “we” and “you” I play all sides wehraboo.

And now back to my point, I didn’t count the M3 for the US and I didn’t count the MP38(o) for Germany because you get them right away (and right away both sides get equal stuff).

Germany get two different semi autos the Gewehr 43 sniper and Gewehr 43 in this build, about the US getting only one semi auto, yes I was worng I forgot you can use grande luncher guns like normal guns.

There is also M1 carbine with grenade launcher

Oh yeah I always forget that you can shoot normally with grande luncher guns my bad then XD

you were talking from the american perspective
also, you has more than one meaning, m8.

and Germany might have the same ammount of semi’s if you count it that way, but then US gets more bolt action snipers in that case :clown_face:

Either way, you only need ONE good gun for each class, and you completely ignore the fact that US gets the shotguns, which are actually pretty powerful if used right, and the snipers not actually having a lot of use for the semi since it has worse damage falloff.

Bolt actions rifles get out done by semi autos…
And yes shotguns can be effective and I think germany should at least get the one stuka pilots used (I don’t remember the name is double barrel shotgun with 1 rifle round under it) but in most cases they aren’t as effective as semi auto or SMG…

not on first shot. Then the higher damage of the bolt action outperforms the semi auto, meaning that if you aim well enough for consistent upper torso shots, but not good enough for consistent headshots, a bolt action will be better for 1v1 fights.

M30 Luftwaffe Drilling.
Was used in Africa mainly, tho.

As they should.

You can afford to miss with semi-autos but not with bolt actions. Consequentially, you don’t have to take as much time to aim because you can follow up immediately.

You waste ammo that way, but ammo doesn’t mean much when you’re dead.

true.

Saw a BAR and a Thompson in a match earlier (and stole them)

How? They aren’t in game and there’s no way of getting them…

shrugs

But I used it ^ . ^
