OK I am running a mediocre infantry company..... got heavy weapons at T2 but then my inf can't buy both a bazooka and a bar? WTF? First ya get hamstrung vis a vis garand ROF then I can't carry/buy an AT weapon and an antipersonnel weapon at the same time. Ok So is this a bug or a feature....?

If this is a feature please reconsider... while this is a game I want it to at least have a SENSE of realism... not arbitrary gamey nonsense.

its a feature, grens can't buy both shrecks and LMGs. you can't buy boys AT and brens or anything like that either. personally i think its better this way.

Feature, just take double callins of rifle, one with BAR, one with bazooka/sticky.  Dont put all your eggs in one basket, more men on the field for dirt cheap.  You can easily field a 38 squad rifle company... ^^

Sides if you really want to have bazookas, go with rangers, they get two at a discount compared to riflemen, are tougher, have fireup, and are more accurate (10%).

Been doing that but frankly a bar is not an MG 42 ... its got clips of 20 not belts of ammo, not sustained ROF as an MG either, it was more of a heavy assault weapon  .. also since garand ROF is so porked anyway..... Sigh mebbe more like a bren

If i were to list all of the realism arguements in this game, i'd need a small book.

However, you have to realise that being a game, it has to make a lot of compromises due to the style of game that it is.

If you really want a more realistic feel, i personally think your better off playing such games as Men of War (From what i *Hear* it's more realistic, i could be wrong...)

But, if you can look over the realism points (As i did, and it took time >.<) you will eventually come to enjoy what you have in it's own way.

The simplest way to look at units, is to think to yourself, on a gamey level, would that be seen as rediculous or over-powered if i had it? If the immediate answer is yes, then you can bet the Devs more than likely thought along those lines too off the bat.

Trust me, i WANT my 30 rounds per minute Lee Enfields. Been after a Doctrine ability for a cool down use of it for a good while. >.<

Balance Guidelines:

2. Reality arguments

This is a game and for the sake of balance EIRR will never be balanced based on what would happen on real life, this is the only way to keep it fun and I'm sure everyone will agree that is the way to go.

You can't purchase LMGs and panzershreks on the same grenadier squad either, this is to prevent that basic infantry soldiers become reliable all-round, pop effective, troops requiring no additional support. Elite infantry are an exception obviously.

and.... read the Guidelines for next time, they're there to give you a clue of how you should not think about balancing the game.
