Criticisms of the M1 are its weight, limited ammunition supply, and that single rounds could not be pushed in (8 round clip, or nothing), although this is actually possible.

Partially loaded or fully loaded clips could be ejected by pulling the operating rod handle all the way back and then pushing the clip latch on the left side of the receiver. In the heat of close action it was possible to do this accidentally, as by pressing the latch with the left hand while firing from the hip.

Of course that doesn't explain the gravity-free panzerfaust, the range of the rifle grenade, Air strikes in maps with rain and low cloud, the unrealistic healing, not being able to drive tanks from the driver seat inside, etc... And one request I would throw in ...killing a flamethrower with an explosive wepon should set the tanks off increasing the splash damage.
Oh yeah and the fact you should be able to reload a sten from the bullets in a mp40. The sten was designed to take 9mm ammo so it could be used by the resistance fighters.
