Infantry Balance

[ubermensche]

I find that infantry balance is quite good. However you guys should make PPSHs droppable. I mean the Wehrmacht picked them up by the thousands. It was actually the 2nd most widely used SMG in the German army!

Would that affect balance? No? Maebee?

Is it necessary? Really, why?

Does it already have a representation on Ostheer? Yes? Hurrah?

I feel it's a bad idea for SMG mobs to be able to lose their weapons, since they usually drop faster than any other squad by virtue of being close ranged and having to run through a hail of bullets (Ambushes and corners not withstanding). That and the original squad is put at a clear disadvantage when one of their guys is not wtf pwning enemy infantry at an average 900 rounds per minute.

Small arms are not dropped by squads. Only large weapons (LMGs, AT weapons) are dropped.

Plus it would lead to ALOT of SMGs dropping, changing balance. The more weapons your squad has the more likely it is to drop. 2 shrecks on a gren = 60% chance of dropping. Can u imagine 6 PPSH on a Strelky squad? O_o

[ubermensche]

Makes sense. But on the other hand Volksgrenadiers can drop their MP40s, nay?

[Dann88]

No they can't.

@Cranial: The point of his post was to SUGGEST dropping SMGs, not telling us they can be dropped. And my point still stands it would screw with balance. Imagine rifles with BARs and MP40s. Would be so weird O_o
