Specialty Weapons for specific maps

Would the devs ever consider adding special weapons to some maps such as maybe a pak38 or one of those 20mm flak guns that could be crewed by infantry? This wouldnt be something for first release but more of a later addition to the game.

Obviously not every map would have these special weapons but some would, such as a circumstance where the british have a tank however the germans just have a pak 40 or something else along those lines. This would provide more interesting fights because there wouldnt just be two identical opposing forces but rather two teams that have to use the resources they have to accomplish their objective. When these special weapons were destroyed then they would not respawn so they would have to be used carefully.

Another example would be giving one side a single mortar team or even giving them two. These additions would need to be balanced so the other side has a viable method of countering the other teams resources. Also they would need to be historically accurate or at least authentic enough to make sense (however with VonMudra and Fuchs I dont see this being a problem).

This is just an idea that would make more sense for later releases just because it would require a bit too much time and balancing to accomplish for the first release of the game. Any thoughts?

Already in the works. And whilst Pak38 or 20mm flak would not be specialty weapons, expect actual oddities/special historical tidbits. If we find a battle which had specific weaponry unique to a battle or division, we will try to have it in there.

But as noted, artillery like mortars/flak/AT is not special. Indeed, a Pak40 and british mortar have been shown in past updates :p

As a hint though, one specialty weapon was shown in this update:

!!! I thought those were just objectives and would not be able to be used! I didn't know those would be functioning weapons. That is great to know. This team really has their **** together
