Shotguns?

[C_Gibby]

The trailer for RO:Ost IIRC states that RO contains realistic close-quarter combat, and this is emphasised by the use of submachineguns and bayonets in the game. There is just one weapon that has been used for a long, long time in the Wild West, in the police forces in the early 1900s and in the trenches of WW2 and I haven't seen any of them in RO's battles.

Shotguns.

Will shotguns feature in RO:HoS? Like, old-fashioned pump-action trench guns? Or maybe double-barrelled shotguns?

Not aware of any widespread use of shotguns on the eastern front. USMC used them in the pacific, and I know the allies used them scarcely in a few other locations but...

Why on earth there should be shotguns, since neither Germans or Soviets used them

Ah.

This.

For Rising Storm, I would hope the shotgun will be in for the USMC.

 

[Extension7]

I agree shotguns would be more fitting in the Rising storm mod.

It just doesn't seem right in this game...

Maybe in COD WAW Soviets had shotguns, but not in real life. Shotguns never were a popular military arm for some reason.

 

[Extension7]

But now there are cause they have automatic shotties now

They're quite beloved in the US Navy. We were issued Mossberg 500's for boarding party work, pier security and shipboard roving patrols.

One of my most treasured memories is dropping my first ship's supply officer with a buttstroke from a Mossberg and putting the barrel to his head (unloaded, sadly) while yelling 'freeze, motherf***er.' He was where he wasn't supposed to be during a security alert (a drill, of course, but still ... you train like you fight, so that you fight like you train!), and the jerk had turned down one too many of my parts requisitions ...
