Wasn't used on the Italian front, thus won't be added.

Never mind, it was used in the first world war. It will suit the players to use the submachine

It was used, on the western front in late 1918. This game is about the Italian front, the MP18/i didn't saw action there (it wasnt even build by time the Germans intervened), hence why it will not be added.

Source? I mean there is an MP-18 in a Turkish museum, and we know the Ottomans got rifles and MGs from the Germans.

The Germans not being on the front by the time the MP-18i turned out is a good evidence of them not being there to use it.

The MP-18s did end up going around to many nations with how things went after WW1 but Museums also have many sources of getting hold of items.

Did the Ottomans actually even use MP-18's while we are on this topic?

No, they could barely even get their hands on LMGs

Very likely no. There is an MP 18 in a museum (that a poster above refers to) which supposedly traces its provenance to the Turkish War of Independence, but I am skeptical. As far as is known, the Germans never exported the MP 18 during WW1 as they never had enough to arm their own Sturmbataillons and could not spare any for their allies.

The Germans did export Bergmann MG 15 n/A light machine guns to the Ottomans in 1918, so if any MP 18s did make it to Turkey, it was probably in those same deliveries. But I think it's unlikely beyond maybe a handful of trial samples (and even then).

No.

We consider weapons with a few criteria in mind. A weapon will not be considered if it's dubious if the weapon was even present at a certain front or if production numbers were too small.

As some have already said, the MP18 was not produced by the time of the German intervention and it's practically impossible that it was used on the Italian front.

However, we'll always take strong evidence into consideration. Feel free to share here on Steam or in our Discord server https://discord.gg/JvQJg3BU

I would like it. Would counter the damn Villar Perosa

The point is not to make a maximally realistic game, but to make it more interesting for players and to attract and retain a large number of players in this small community. It would benefit the developers financially.

As it costs money to do that and would then cost money to redo the marketing and then lose players as they add unhistorical elements and open the door for more demands...for what? It doesn't add enough to draw people in.
