Kind of - They're like if a class had certain perks tied to it and you choose the rest (weapons and grenades + other perk of your choice). They also offer an added benefit if you use them with a weapon from the type linked to that particular class - More info here

In order of my opinion
Rifles
1. Volkssturmgewehr (can only be unlocked by supply drop, earning enough armory credits or completing the challenge when it comes up in orders section)
2. BAR
3. FG42
4. STG44

Subs
1. PPSH
2. Sten
(That's all I use myself so someone else might be able to suggest others)

heroics

Similiar to x43 says but my list would be

Rifles
1. Volkssturmgewehr
2. BAR
3. STG44

Subs
1. PPSH
2. Type 100

If you want to use other weapons the only ones I use at the moment are

Shotgun - Combat shotgun
LMG - Lewis
Sniper - M1903 (I don't quick scope so works for me) Karabin is ok for WAR mode if you are attacking up the beach on Neptune.

Secondary - I use shovel or 1911.

STG44 is my go to rifle but I'm interested that you both rate the Volkssturmgewehr higher - is it just all round better handling or stopping power?

STG used to be my go to but I just do better with the Volks. Probably because I have changed my play style to move slower and walk more in COD ww2 so the slower sprint out and ADS don't affect me that much.

Stats are from xclusive aces vids. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygnBI8JKhJM

Sprint out and ADS is slower than STG but everything else is same or better

Fire rate 712 vs 666 and Same range in core (TTK 253-337 vs 270-360ms)
Faster reload
Recoil on Volks is basically straight up. STG is more side to side

No, you can choose any gun you want to use in any division, just that there are specific divisions for an ability for a particular weapon. Like with Airborne, you can equip a suppressor to an SMG for example. You cannot equip suppressor on any other type of weapon or in any other type of division.

You can use any weapon you want in any division but the special attachment only works for the class that is attached to that division.

For example

Airborne division has silencer attachment but only if you are using a Sub. The other perks like sprint longer climb over obstacles and increased sprint apply to all weapons

Infantry has a bayonet but only for rifles other perks work for all weapons (extra attachment, Extra magazines, faster movement while aimed down sights)

Why don't they just let us play the fcking game modes all the time? Now I have a prop Hunt weekly challenge I can't use!

Apparently, it's because of the lack of players in the game modes there would be if they had all the special event game modes, like look at modes such as Mercenary in BO1, Demolition in BO3 etc. They have very little players playing them disallowing others to join matches.

That's what I've heard from some.

Thanks, that makes sense

Higher fire rate coupled with lower recoil which makes it a bullet hose basically

The downsides to it are slower ADS and sprint out time but the general feeling is the positives far outweigh the negatives.

It seems nailed on for a nerf in the near future so the BAR should be top of the list soon I'd say

Alkers

Was in a game of ear there and ended up me against four opponents... Wasn't much fun

Im so bad at this game. and the maps are pretty poor!

Don't stress it too much I'd say. I found the learning curve on this particular game really steep and I've been playing COD since MW2 (2009).

It gets better - I found sticking to War helps as it's less stressful

not at home so cant check how you play war?

Its just game mode when selecting a new game like TDM or Domination.

Basically is objective based but there is no track of your deaths. Most of the maps have a couple of objectives.

The game is split into 2 halves. I half you are defending objectives and the other attacking them.

Here is an example with tips for one of them

Just got WW2 over the weekend after staying away from COD since Ghosts as I hated the non-boots on the ground style of play in recent years. In Ghosts I had a respectable 2.5 KD earned from rushing around the map with the K7 with lightweight, marathon, quickdraw etc.

I'm having trouble finding a similar rushing class in WW2 however. Any recommendations for a good rushing class? I'm using airborne with the PPSH at the minute but I'm only rank 22 so haven't unlocked all attachments etc, and my game plays are so so, usually struggling to get over a 1.5 KD. Any tips?

Cheers.

To be honest that's your best combination if you want to rush

I think the general feeling though is that rushing isn't as viable in this game as it was previously because of slower sprint-out and ADS times make the time to go from sprinting to shooting much slower than usual

A possible side effect of this is that a lot of players have noticed this and abandoned rushing in favour of a slower play style. This then has a knock on effect again I believe because if there are more players being more cautious and posting up at head glitches or doorways then in turn it makes it harder even again for people trying to rush

This +1

I used to rush all the time. In this game I’ve had to change my play style a good bit. Walk in a lot of places I’d have run in previous CODs

Gunslinger cuts sprint out time but only if you shoot first before breaking sprint. If you break sprint by ADS then is useless

War is good fun and it feels like you earn XP faster in that game mode.

WW2 has my highest K/D out of any COD :P, I only get less than 1.0 if the connection is **** - which is normally the cause for my deaths in this game.

I'd imagine they are pretty standard. The ones that work for me are 2 airborne classes - 1 AR and 1 Sub

Primary - STG/PPSH/Volks

Quickdraw and extended mags (sometimes high caliber on ARs instead of extended mags)

Secondary - 1911

Basic training is either Hunker if playing War/Dom/Hardpoint
TDM I run either Inconspicious (quieter)/Flanker (Hidden from UAV while moving)

Trick with QD and sprinting is to break your sprint by pulling back on left stick before ADS then QD works fine. If you use ADS you need to wait for sprint out time to complete so QD is wasted.

Another option is to run infantry and make use of the faster movement while ADS and then ADS around corners

Lads what do ye think of the rifle you start with m19141 or something like that. With a few attachments I like how it feels.

Also can someone explain the prestige system for me? In the lobby it’s telling me that my gun is available for prestige so what does that entail

Personally I am not a fan of the 1941. I’d take the stg over it any day.

Weapon prestige means that you can prestige your weapon and it allows you to put your clan tag on the weapon and 2nd prestige I think is a kill counter. I never bother tbh

It's an ok gun, I prefer the STG, FG 42 and Bar over it.
Just unlocked the Volkssturmgewehr and it seems to be a beast - good steady solid feel to it.

Prestiging your weapon allows you to either put your clan tag or kill count on the weapon.
Resets to zero each time you prestige.

The volks is too good. I'd say enjoy it while you can because there's no way it won't be nerfed at some stage
