RS M1 Garand for Axis

[Kotun]

Why do the Axis have THREE bolt-action rifles? I mean, shouldn't atleast the rifleman heroes be able to use it?
Considering every single rifleman on the Allies are using a semi automatic one, or atleast have the ability to choose one, why shouldn't Axis have four (or whatever the hero limit for each team is) of them? Help me understand this, please as I don't see the point of having three bolt-action rifles.

Sorry if there are any grammar issues as English is not my native language. And first time posting here. Have mercy on me, internet.

That's just the way they did it.

I wanted to make a Type 3 (Garand knockoff) mod, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Except it never was even built, much less issued to troops...

why soviets dont get even one single magic german PTRS with tungsten, that has higher penetration than original soviet PTRS?

 

[Tombstone Jack]

its simple really the springfield is for manly men and the granad is for tiny baby men and the japs realizing this decided to only give their most decorated soldiers springfields so when they beat back all the americans and their flimsy automatic weapons they could hang their heads high knowing they only needed a bolt action rifle because bolt actions are king of the school yard and that's how America lost the war and all the axis soldiers got gold plated swords the end






and if you want a granad that badly as a jap to quote a movie I don't know the name of "there will be plenty on the ground"

Because that was patched out.

 

[LugNut]

Why no Tactical Nuke killstreak for Axis Heroes? Allies have Nuke IRL?

So what? This is a videogame, not a documentary.

 

[VietViking]

want to use the garand as Axis? kill an American and pick one up, they are everywhere

 

[aaz777]

Because that was patched out.

when, where?
germans are still getting PTRS with higher penetration as standart AT weapon. Patch just lowered down the penetration, though its still higher than soviet.

Confirmed.

So then should the soviets get an AK-47 for their elite rifleman class? Should Americans get the Uzi?

Should the Germans get their orbital weapon/super-villain deathray "Sun gun" prototype: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_gun ?

AS-44 for soviets please.

 

[LugNut]

Confirmed.

Except in game, it's actually less effective against Axis armor than the PTRS.

Not that it matters since it's easier to kill Axis tanks with either AT rifle than a T-34 shooting in the same weak spots. Crazy.

That's to do with hardness values. The PzB shatters more often on the PzIV because it's a harder round hitting a harder armor plate.

It's a balance of sorts where your teams AT rifle does better on the enemy teams tank.

So a new member posts his idea, next look where the thread went

Sure, why not? If you want to do that, go for it! I'm not helping do the code though.

Like I've said many times: TW will never change anything again, but we can.

If you really want I can make a small mod that adds the Garand to the Axis rifleman role. It'll be offline-only though.

Can be online if TWI is willing to work with you...
