Q: Why is X not historically accurate?
A: This is a game, not a simulation. Fun gameplay mechanics come first, to the extent that even the same weapon will often operate differently on different units.

Sure, but obviously only to a degree. The Tiger 88mm gun does make more damage than the 75mm of the P4 for a reason.

Yes, sometimes historical accuracy must be sacrificed to certain gameplay requirements. But as a last resort and not on purpose. As otherwise the plausability of the whole game setting would make no sense.

In contrary to SMGs like the MP40 the StG44 performs formidable at medium range. Even at large range it is still ok compared to bolt rifles. So it seems to me that historical accuracy/plausability is implemented quite well in this context.

Because game design and balance? STG on volks and pgrens and stormtroopers and sturmpioneers are good enough. I would say they make vet 5 volks too strong even.

The MP44 VG does not use the Weapon profile of an assault rifle and has little to do with the MP44 Weapon other units use.

It has imo proven problematic.

I agree with your argument, but I wanna point out that the p4 and the tiger have the same damage.

The stg44 is a mid range weapon in coh2. Sure, it also does good damage on short one but it looses to smgs then. Pgrens win against absolutely any squad when in mid range, yellow cover or higher, though.

The only unit I can think of where their weapons don't accurately represent the weapon are Sturmpioneers. In all honesty they should just replace their STG44s with MP40s as it'll correctly show the weapon profile their STG44s have, a close range weapon.
