The springfield for some reason is the only gun I am downright DREADFUL with, i never get any kills with it, the scoped mauser is pretty good, but I choose the unscoped over the scoped.

the crosshair on the american rifle is so huge i can't usually see who i'm shooting at if they are peaking over a ledge.

I agree without limiting snipers, the german single shot non scoped rifle is worthless. What is the gun in DOD, that Germans snipe with...it's a semi automatic sniper rifle.

We definately need better hand to hand weapons...bayonet or whatever.

im pretty sure that the garand has a 8 round clip if im not mistaking

Raped Souldrinka: how can you say that the Kar98 has "extremely more firepower" that the Garand? Maybe it is more accurate but the round used in the Garand was a 220-grain monster and had equal if not more killing power than the Mauser's 7.92x57mm. Remember, although the Mauser round was of larger caliber, the .30-06 used by the Garand was longer. In any case, the two rounds are probably quite equal in power and to say that the Mauser had more killing power is a false statement.

its not my opinion that it has more firepower because of the little higher caliber, but because of the muzzle velocity or whatever its called in english. i think the bullets fly faster and so they hit harder. tell me if im wrong but im pretty sure

oh sorry i was wrong the kar98k has 755m/s while the garand has about 825m/s

well like i said i think in close combat the garand is better cause of its rate of fire but on long range i would prefer a kar98k, because of its accuracy. i think 2015 should make the garand a bit more unaccurate

I dunno, I was playing with my friends once. One of us used just the bazooka while the rest of us stuck with the rifles. I got pretty irritated after about 20 deaths by his zook, so I switched to the 'schreck. I ran up to the top floor in Stalingrad and went out onto the balcony. He was on the other side and didn't see me since he was looking at the place with the machinegun, so I sent a rocket at him and backed into the room. He took a direct hit, but he's still alive (with about 19 health, I later found out). He turned around, saw me, and fired back. His zook hit the floor beside me (about 2 feet away), and I dropped dead. I had 100 health.

although many of u say the weapons are balanced i disagree with u. i thing they are a bit unbalanced, and far from realism (which probably is better cause it would make i even more unbalanced to make them realistic)

in reality, the karabiner98k has extremly more firepower than the m1garand, cause its a bolt action rifle while the garand is a self loader. this also leads to higher accuracy. it has not much to do with the a little bit higher caliber. short: the garand rulez in close combat because of its higher rate of fire while the mauser karabiner98k is a very good distance weapon and sniper rifle. in ww2 many allied and sowiet snipers used a kar98k if they got the chance by capturing one.
about the thompson and the mp40. the thompson has a little bit more power than the mp40, cause the mp was concepted as a mass-production-gun and was very cheap to produce. i dont know exactly but i think its rate of fire was a little bit higher.
the stg44 and the bar were both good weapons, but stg has a bigger magazine, but is heaver is far as i know.
i didnt use the rocket launchers much so i cant say if they are balanced. but i would like it if the shield built on the panzerschreck would protect from bullets.

*cant wait for the full game*

The damage for the 'shrek and 'zook is screwed up, Im sure everyone can agree on that one. The funny thing about the snipers is that the springfield '03 is a copy of the mauser

well everybody has his fav weapon he uses and its hard to make a game balanced for everyone cause everyone has different opinions and talents for different weapons

[Ara]

I usually play Axis to use the scoped mauser or the MP 44

"the stg44 and the bar were both good weapons, but stg has a bigger magazine, but is heaver is far as i know."

Nope your wrong There m8

BAR- weighs 8.8kg(19.4lb)

Stg44- weighs 5.2kg(11.5lb)[this bugs me in the CPR mod-i.e you should move faster]

And also the stg44 was not a MG but an "Assault Rifle". This weapon is the baby that gave birth to todays assault rifle.

The MG42 gave birth to the M60

Germany in all had the more advanced weapons ,yeah the USA had the advanced rifle i.e the garand but the germans were way ahead with the "Sturmgewehr 44"

The BAR was a relic from the Great war but still a good support weapon[Pity they didn't include in the game the two rates of fire]

Grenades- these weapons were used not as "gib" weapons, but more of a shock and maiming weapon i think these weapons are Ott i also really think they should do around 50 damage max - it would be good if grenades stunned the enemy more instantly kill them.

People have mentioned before about balancing weapons - so they are all fair- NO NO war is NOT fair some weapons have advantages over others but it comes down to the individual soldier [and player ]to use that weapon in a way it was intended for- Assault, support etc. did you think the Germans called the yanks "lamers" for using a Garand because it fired faster and the us Brits for having a TEN round magazine in the "Enfield"- i can see now why they didnt include the "Gewehr43 as the axis sniper weapons because ALL the yanks would moaned about it having TEN rounds and was semi-auto.
