Conscripts

[Red Baron]

Just a quick question.
With the whole Enemy at the gates thing going with the conscripts only having 1 rifle per 2 men, do the weaponless conscripts actually pick up the rifles of the ones who get killed?

[Red_Stinger]

Nope. 

[Red Baron]

Dang, it would have been awesome if they did.
Thanks.

[Seeme]

They say the ones without rifles are programed to due furst, but I don't really see that.

I just assumed that it would be like the light weapons which squads can upgrade, pick up and drop - Like if a soldier with a Panzerschreck gets killed, another squad member will take it, if it doesn't drop on the ground. Since i haven't been able to play as the Soviets yet either, i really don't know.

They used to die first, I'm not sure when that changed.

That might work.

OT... JOZXYQK is a cat word

I'm glad you like it, but i thought of a more suitable analogy - Think of it more like the Flamethrower upgrade - It never gets dropped - It just passes on to another squad member. Incorporate that into the Conscripts and their rifles, and we're set!

This is one of the oldest and best suggestions that have yet to be added

Indeed it is.

[Red Baron]

Lets hope the devs think of it before the next patch.

What do you mean "oldest"? Was January 8 really that long ago?

Also, i think the developers are frequently checking the forums, so they should notice it. After all, the Ace-hole is here!

Yeah, you could say so .

[BurroDiablo]

I've passed the idea on for making Conscripts pass weapons on when they die like shreckers or flamers. I probably didn't need to since, yeah, we do read these forums, but just to voice my opinion that it's a good idea and should be implemented

[pariah]

Awesomeness! It's so great that i get to help you guys out in more ways than money! You know, i'd really like to help you make this expansion, but since i don't know the first thing about coding, no can do.

[GodlikeDennis]

Yeah it's a pretty good but old idea. It's been floating around for ages but if you though of it independently then that's good thinking. There are many types of heavy weapon in the game. There are the heavy weapons platforms like tripod MG42s, lighter weapons like panzershreks and 1 of the BARs in a rifle squad which drop on the ground but also swap between members until there are none left, and weapons that are passed between squad members but cannot be dropped, like the other BAR in a rifle squad and MP44s. Making it like an MP44 or a DP-28 should work. I don't really know why it has never been adapted. Perhaps because reinforced squads might not get the weapons back?
