The game has never ever been particularly accurate. Why is it so extra important now?

"While covering one year of the war for each game calendar year, we want to ensure we’re keeping the player experience historically accurate, and are working on ways in which we can determine loadouts, vehicles, and cosmetics, are only applicable to specific maps while keeping the gameplay experience fun and engaging"

From the Dev blog 185- the Q&A part of it

Different tanks & loadouts for every battle sounds like a nightmare tbh. That being said, the Brits need to have their loadouts changed. Where is my VGO and M1928??

Yes, that is also extremely important to me. Be sure to stick to historical correctness T17!

just provide tools for servers so owners can decide about weapons and vehicles and you will have "realism servers" and rest of the servers for whom its totally not much of the deal if there is panther or not

I’m with the OP here. Gameplay should better mimic actual history. More so than it does currently anyway. At least as far as weapons, uniforms and vehicles for the battles that they are portraying.

Hit the nail on the head. As much as I'd love to see historically accurate loadouts it's just gonna lead to insanely unbalanced matches. It's easier to balance a whole faction globally.

Take the early stages of the game for example. It used to be that the US won something like 2/3rds or 3/4ths of all matches because the M1 Garand was so much better than the K98k which most of the German loadouts used. The German loadouts were adjusted to make the MP40 more common (as well as some other changes) and now it's not so bad on the german side.

The tanks still need work obviously and some maps make balancing impossible, but hey, we have to have realistic expectations. The only way to achieve true balance is with perfect symmetry and this isn't possible in a WW2 game.

What they should do is to bring back PTE's

It’s so upsetting that they ALREADY HAVE Brecourt in the game but the new mode probably wont include those assets. When I walk to that part of the map I feel like I’m in a movie. This new mode is going to be absolutely dogwater if wombatmedic is correct that it’s “loosely” based on the 101st. Hahah Hell Let Loosely based on reality.

Why? No dev wants to share their product when it is at stage where the PTE can be useful. Instead it is just a tool to hype the update.

I'd rather they spent the effort and money on developing their own QA process. Like, throwing the patch at a bunch of players that don't have access to analytics and QA tools is just a waste of $$

Make the game historically accurate by only allowing I spawn. Once your dead find a new server.
