New Soviet equipment for Lake Balaton and Seelow Heights

[pastel steeple]

Since we are getting late war Soviet maps, it is only fitting that we also get late war Soviet equipment. How about giving the Soviets T-34/85 and IS2 tanks as well as add the PPS-43 and M44 carbine to the game. It could also be a great time to give the Soviets flamethrowers like the ROKS 2 or 3 and buildable machineguns like the Maxim 1910/30 and the DSHK, which would be long overdue. The devs have already hinted that new weapons are coming so at least some of these likely will get added but it would be nice if all of them were. If the devs add the machineguns, I think they should be buildable like AT guns but not requiring as many supplies since they are not as big. I think it should be 50 supplies to build the gun and 50 more if you want a shield on the MG mount.

So we will see those weapons in Stalingrad too? No thanks.
The devs should consider subfactions for the eastern front so it stays accurate

If the developers look at Discord and not Reddit...

I should of mentioned that in my post but it kind of goes without saying that the late war stuff would be map specific to Balaton and Seelow, kind of like how we already have late war British equipment only in Driel, almost like the devs are already leaning in this direction. The flamethrowers and machineguns would be on every Soviet map.

This was kind of confirmed in the latest Playtest stream, I asked the devs specifically about the late-war soviet content, to which they responded that "they have a catalog" which includes new content for the soviets. They didn't mention specific weapons or vehicles but acknowledged that the soviets need new stuff for Balaton and Seelow
