Fun = $.Ĭrusader61, you found some numbers I've never seen.

Players enjoy using, and fighting against, the best stuff so I can't blame the game for including the cool stuff as long as it's reasonably balanced.

WWII games never include the shortage of fuel, food, planes, and ammunition that the Germans faced in '44 and '45. Time period and equipment always reflects the 'Battle of the Bulge' German forces with some of the best paratrooper stuff and airplanes thrown in. Of course if they focused on the majority of battles fought the Axis would almost always loose, which wouldn't attract many Axis players. So i solely adress this complaint to RETO, but i would like to know what other players think and i include a poll for this purpose.Įvery WWII game focuses on the rare battles where the Axis had the same numbers of men and equipment that the Allies had. I also want to say that i dont blaim the players picking these weapons in higher proportion to others, since i believe in the 'dont blame the player blame the rules' thing. Now i dont want to say Stg, AVS or Johnson is not a legitimate weapon but there is simply too many of them in regards to their historic proportion. There are also other videos of this kind where RETO is advertising an older version of the game and you can see how an average soldier on the GE side used to have a bolt action rifle instead of the Stg 44. I will post a video here of older HnG advertisement where it is obvious, that this game used to have a concept of limitation to soldier clases, where for instance type of soldier such as machinegunner was limited in number in proportion to the rest of team. This problem could be solved in multiple ways in fact i will later post a topic about my suggestion into 'Gneral Development Suggestion' category, however the easiest and most obvious way to solve this would be to introduce simple limitation. Right now if the players wanted nothing prevents them from forming an entire team with Stg 44 or AVS 36 or Johnson or really any weapon they like even 20 guys with MG 42. I know it is a game and i take it as such, but even with that on my mind i still feel like since Heroes and Generals wants to represent itself as a WW2 game and i joined this game as such, it could be more realistic. That is something this game does not represents very well. You can clearly see based on the informations above, that many (not all) of these automatic weapons were a rare sight on the battlefield and comparably others such as the bolt action rifles and M1 Garand were much more commonly used. Thompson M1A1: Approximately 1.75 million of all variants (produced between 1921-1945) SVT 40: 1,600,000 (no info available on wiki) I would like to state few statistics based on informations available on wikipedia to give an idea on some of these weapons about how many were actualy produced in reality: I understand these are real weapons those were used in WW2 but the proportion at which they are used in this game makes me feel like i am playing some post-WW2 modern game and i joined this game because i wanted to play something that resembles WW2 battlefield rather than some modern conflict with historic weapons. Since the new updated recoil animations make many weapons such as the Stg 44 or AVS 36 much more enjoyable to use and i have noticed i am getting often into battles where almost half the players on either team use either Stg or AVS or Johnson and the other half uses machineguns and scoped semi automatic rifles. This game had 'always' (since i joined(early 2016)) had in my opinion, too many soldiers, running around with automatic, semi-automatic or scoped weapons in proportion to non scoped bolt action rifles for a WW2 game.
