Please TWI, rethink this "idea". I just was in a game where every russian MG had an mg 34. German riflemen running around with mosins (and vice versa). The game is really ridiculous atm..

Yeah, I had that bug but the other way around. Wanted to level up the 34 but got stuck with the DP 28

I don't know if the russians or germans captured so many weapons from the enemies, but that is something I really dislike in modern games, that every site get access to every weapon

Think its here to stay.. Apparently when TWI Devs interviewed a specially selected test group of 5-7 year olds 87% wanted this feature. :confused:

It seems they forgot that they alrdy left and went to BF 3 and MW 3(in 2 days) :/

Plus, it still amuses me they think we're only 0,01% of playerbase when theres like 900 ppl online xD

I agree, this feature should be taken away fast, or it will lead to a completely unbalanced game. There are already enough weapons fallen arround the battlefield while you play to be able to use the enemies loadout.

It also takes away from teamplay.

What a god-awful, horrible idea for a WW2 shooter.

If anybody want a enemy weapon he has to take it from their cold death hands...

I don`t want another CoD World at War, i want a realistic as possible game about the battle of Stalingrad. Without any prototype weapons (MKb42, AVT-40) or special weapon upgrades which never was produced in series (MP40 double clip, MG34 double drum)

No Upgrades/Updates/Level Up are really needed.
Maybe some littles extra like: more breath when you are sprinting or only a little bit more weapon knowledge.

Many upgrades would be very nice in a game called: Red Orchestra - Secret Weapons of WW2 :rolleyes:

This is actually one of the most realistic aspects of their levelling system.

Both sides used large numbers of enemy weapons. The Germans re-chambered large numbers of SVT-40's, and used captured ammunition from the advances of 1940-1942 for PPSh's, AT rifles, MGs, etc. Hell the Marder series of tank destroyers all used Russian 76mm guns (mounted on Czech 38 chassis).

This was actually SO common, the Germans had to invent a nomenclature system for renaming all the foreign weapons and vehicles they used. The (r) In PzB 783(r) stands for "Russen"(Russian). Pz38(t)="Tscheschen" (czech).

The rest of it is bull****, but using captured weapons was extraordinarily common, to the point of them being ISSUED to soldiers.

ETA: if you'd like to contribute something beyond .gifs, feel free.

I started this thread lol.

But with this system everyone runs around with enemy weapons. Read OP.

And sometimes gifs are more appropiate than words.

Yeah, I know. :rolleyes:

It's confusing that you'd buy a game that advertised itself as realism based, and then complain about one of the more realistic aspects. Whatever flaws in the supposed reality they've created, this isn't one of them. Go complain about something like the lack of physical inertia, or the bandaging, not this.

Everyone russian mg running around with mg 34 =/ realism
Russians using the kar98 and Germans using the mosin =/ realism

I am not denying they didn't use captured weapons in WW2. But the numbers here are RIDICULOUS.

PS: This game is far from being realistic with everyone running around with enemy weapons.

Thank you for something beyond "I think this is dumb, make it go away". I can understand your perspective. I'd be happier if they just got rid of the MKb.

I never said "make it go away". I said reduce the numbers Neither did I say the feature was dumb.
