There were more PPSH guns then infantry soldiers in the red army, therefore all soviet units should have stock ppsh or ppsh upgrade for all.

Your logic is as flawless as usual.

But sure, lets move LMG42 to the doctrine and put G43 instead.

The Doctrine for Cons getting PPSH was produced from 1941-1947, only until 1944 they were able to produce in far larger quantities. Types of box magazine had an impact on PPSH41. The more popular magaizine were the stick magazines.

Drum Magazines were not produced until 1944.


Conscripts should get the PPSH 41 with the mass maunufactured stick magainzes requiring them more often to reload in comparison to Shocktroops who got the Drum Mags. It was not until the end of the war that 55% of its army had PPSH. Still, I think it is justified to say Conscripts should get it. Limited to 3 or 4 units the PPSH for 60 ammo. Should be worse than the doctrine version. Reload should be more frequent also.

The quality and thickness of the mag contributed to its performance. Stick mag having sometimes experience problems and certain failures. Conscripts should get it but worse than the proper PPSH41 Drum mag. Makes sense.

So yeah, they should get the PPSH by default but maybe a worse version since cheaper mags were easier to build, easier to manufacture and produce in mass quantites would fit the ideal weapon for Conscripts. PPSH with stick mag.

Better Equipment were put into to stock for elite/special forces.


Now German G43

G43 was introduced 1943 which was later than PPSh productions. It was given to grenadiers in service but not as many as intended. Around 30 G43 were introduced per each company, so it would be the similar with the distribution of MG42. Roughly 10 out of 30 were scoped while the 20 were iron sights.

So to introduce upgrade for having G43 upgrade is not a bad idea. The weapon was good quality. Good quality took more time. G43 is exceptional. So it would be nice for grens to have by default another upgrade option, G43.

2 G43 options actually would be good.

1./ 60 ammo for 1 scoped G43. Similar to that of JLI but worse. Should be very accurate and take 5-6 sec per shot being always precise dealing 16 damage. Cover will RA is ignored but does not ignore green cover damage reduction. Does not shoot any faster the closer the enemy is. Loses, close and mid advantages

2./ Same as the doctrine. 60 ammo. Excel faster in close and mid ranges for 2 G43 with iron sights. Keeps movement. Improves move accuracy. Loses some long range accuracy but improve close to medium range.

This makes hell a lot of sense. It would be even more ridiculous to give every grenadier G43.

So grenadiers will have overall 3 weapon options. Can only pick 1 of the 3. Grens weapon options are 1./ "Scoped G43 (1 only) 2./ "G43 iron sights" 2 provided 3./ MG42.

This will increase style of play for grens. Varying in diversity and very situational.

SU went for mass quantities, cheaper production and cost efficient.
GER went for quality and quantity.

So this whole idea is indeed flawless. Would not make sense at all replacing MG42 with G43 btw. Did some research.

The bare minimum:
Increase the rear armor of the PvIV H (and PzIV J). The is no reason for these unit to have less rear armor than the Ostheer PzIV.

Good thing you have mentioned that. Wierd for something more expensive version of the same kind of unit to be more exposed!

Well, it that really a problem?

Even then, there is nothing that makes it so strong the G43. Rather it only used to be able to maintain range engagements on the move.

Nothing special about it. Should be non-doc. Production was not rare. Produced in similar quantities to MG42. Makes sense also.

Why not have inspired Historical music in game to make a lot more authentic.

This surely be great. All the German, Russian, British and American Marches included in game would be such an interesting vibe and atmosphere for this game would be.

Even music that can be played during in-game would make this a lot more interesting too!

Nothing too radical or racial of course but to create Authenticity would be cool!

I suggest for German Faction: Königgrätzer-Marsch , Kameraden(not nazi but was used to bring about nationalism, all the same applies for every other nationality).

For Russia: Kalinka, March of the defenders of Moscow.

America: An American March song. Dont know their march songs that well. Any suggestions fellow americans? I was thinking "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" although it is a Civil War song, it is pretty good.

British: Rule Britannia!


All these songs are nationalistic representation! What do you guys think?

MP40 upgrade would suit Sturmpios better since they should be the unit for closer range focused engagements.

Volks should maintain, mid to long range. Remain supportive. MP40 is a downgrade for them despite what changes came along on the patch. Mid to late game would become terrible for Volks.

It would suit better for Sturmpio to have it. Just saying since it seems more that type of unit!
