Volkssturm

[PZJR ♦ Pan_Miyagi]

Hi, what you think about devs add Volkssturm units to the German faction? Child and Grandpas troops? :D On battles from 44/45 year it will be nice :) Panzerfausts, K98's :) maybe older MG for them? and MP40 only for officers? It would be awesome for me.

For the units you cant really give specific weapons.

I think we can give the Volkksturm their spealized weapon, I learned that there are some weapon made for Volkssturm in Primitiv-Waffen-Programm, like Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr, Volkssturmkarabiner VK-98, MP3008.

This.
"Hey let's add a new Axis faction!"
"Ok. Italians?"
"No. Old men and Children who rarely engaged in combat, and even then it was on the Eastern Front!"
"Well that's dumb. Italians are the better option. Even Vichy France is a better option."

Vichy french forces sounds really cool tbh.. esp the charlemange lot.

you know French soldiers are total cowards... they captured without fight in WW2 and be a Germans clowns who selling all jews for Himmler and others :) Volkssturm fighting with americans too and its only my suggestion and i think we need more units in Germans because now we have only 2... maybe 3 with Fallschrimjagers :)

I think the main problem here is that units are just for cosmetic purposes and don't give any bonus weapons or attributes. If your calling for a Volkssturm faction the answer is no, but the devs said they will consider the Italians after release.

Well they actually had a fight, but simply said they realised they sucked at it and gave up real fast.

Less that they sucked at it, more that they got outmanovuered and decided Paris was not worth getting razed like Warsaw did.

Well they sucked because of there tactics, they couldn't handle the glory days of the blitzkrieg.

Also I did like to add, even Germany went through Belgium. They still faced a army that was well equiped and with enough of manpower. Nummerically and qualitative German weapons, tanks and manpower where that not much better, but they blasted well through the French because they used everything way better. They had to thank that to the blitzkrieg theory of warfare.

ok Italians... but what weapons? Why other units can't have other weapons? I hope Italians will be added like Americans/Brits not sorted like Brits/Highlanders. Italiano ok using some german support weapons but usually using own weapons like Beretta Model 38, Carcano rifles, Beretta pistols or Breda LMG :) so they should using own weapons not Wehrmacht equipment... maybe some MP40's for alternative Beretta for officers etc or for support standard Breda - more supply points for take mg 34... something like this, what you say? :)

[Mark33]

Most of them surrendered, especially in the east.

Edit - Volksturm units I mean

Children: not likely gonna happen. Wouldn't mind this being added with old some old guys, but as others have said I think there are more important things that could be added to the game instead (or first - we'll see how much content will still be added after release).
