I think it could be play tested like monga suggested, with SVT-40.
Hopefully better modding tools would be released, before Soviet doctrines are realeased into the game and this “shotgun model” could be used.
Tbh I never was the type of a guy who looks closely at the infantry models and check their weapons, I rather look at the weapon displayed over the squad icon, so it would not be gamebreaking as if putting sherman jumbo with m4a3 model 😛
Well, like meat said, it’s worth play testing, cause I find it a fun idea too!
When you implement some kind of polish partisants (And I hope you will <3) they could have a squad with double barrels for example 😛
I think it goes without saying, but US Assault Engies or US AB also could have access to shotguns 🙂
