Agreed although I’d rather have a few faction specific weapons for each class than just one

Agreed.
I don’t think there was a single instance in WW1 or WW2 where an army was using a hodge-podge of German, French, British, Russian, Japanese, and American weapons as the soldiers saw fit. I want complete uniformity of the team for authenticity’s sake.
That maybe how they start out, but that is not how they finish up. If you army is moving faster then supplies can keep up you start picking up enemy equipment as they become more available. If you are in a trench and you gun is out of ammo would you not pickup a enemy weapons.
In WW1 Germany captured many enemy tanks which they then used before they built their own.
I know in WW2 at the defence of Tobruk Allies where using captured Axis cannons.
Why do you think it stand practice during a retreat is to disable/destroy equipment.

In WW, most the use of captured guns was in Eastern Front,because the front between Russia and Germany/Austro-Hungary was fluid and many canons and other guns were captured and recaptured in a insane rate. Also in Middle East campaign British and Ottoman troops also captured each others army and equipment. But in the stable fronts like France and Italy capturing unbroken equipment was more rare, static warfare and the artillery barrages who damage/destroyed most of the equipment of the enemy.
Faction specific weapons is a must.
Remeber the box art of the game shows what is presumed to be an African American carrying a C96 and an MP18 both opposing german weaponry… just let that sink in
I noticed the C96 and the captured holster belt, didn’t see the MP18
On a strap hanging at lower back/hip (left side of body)
on the right side it looks like he has a lee enfield rifle. You can see the scope under his wrist.
Faction specific weapons and vehicles would be nice. Possibly making it unlockable to have access to other Allies weapons later if you’re playing as an allied faction and same thing for Central Powers factions. Then after that making it unlockable to use any gun? Maybe they could have a realistic mode or something where everything is faction specific, I’d play that!
Also considering the limited customization for firearms of the era (maybe some bipod rigging/grip/bayonets) they will probably have to have your progression be towards newer models that came out as the war went on.
I hope they keep it as historically accurate as possible and tailor game modes to battle scenarios that actually took place.
