We need a BR4 main rifle for the allies. We can take the M2 carbine ang have it set with a 15rd mag (60rd reserve) similar to BR 2 as to match BR 4 requirements. This would take minimal modeling such as taking the M2 currently in game and switching the magazine with the magazine model in the M1 carbine.

If you can prove that they did use 15 round M2 Carbines in WWII. Then the Axis can get an FG 42 with 10 rounds, and I’m not too sure about the rest. If the Type Hei Automatic is compatible with the 10 round magazines from the Type Hei Late, there’s that problem solved. Only the Soviets are left then.
But in reality, an SVT-40 would still probably be more powerful.

In fact, I want paratroopers to change the M1A1 Carbine into a 15-round M2A1, and then add the M1A1 Carbine to the tech tree.
They are too vulnerable when airdropped behind enemy lines.
one the fg42 kills/downs with 1 shot
the m2 with 2 shots kills/downs
i know but the br5 versions are exactly double the same
which is why the m2 does not belong as a br5 rifle but a br5 assault
which is why the t20 was added as a br5 us rifle because the m2 carbine was not good enough
if the fg42 was a sa with 10 or 15 or heck 20 shots it would fit better
Due to the much more available amounts of 15 round magazines and the scarcity of the 30 round magazines, it’s very very possible that M2s used 15 round magazines, as they were more common, and were generally more reliable than the 30 round magazines. As for the others, those seem fine, the Russians can get a 10 round AVT (using the same magazine as the SVT) with the same stats as the AVT 20 for theirs.

ErmaWerke Carbine – The Armourers Bench Ermawerke Carbine | GunLab (KnownHost)
Rheinmetall developed the carbine at the very end of the war for the Primitive Waffen program which was intended to arm the Volkssturm (a militia unit). Chambered in 7.92×33 Kurz the carbine has a simple two-lug rotating bolt.
As is its a worse M1 carbine Modified it could fit into BR2, 4 and 4. I have been asking for a 30 round M1 carbine in br4. But we could create a small mag SF and SA. A big mag SA and SF gun, yeah its a bit of enlisted magic but not as bad as the ho-ri. Ok i just thought it was crazy Germany created a weapon weaker than the M1 carbine while the us is making the M2 carbine.
or
The Walther Karabiner 45. A prototype inspired on the Gewehr 43. Both accepted Supressors. A perfect candidate for a supressed semi-auto. Stats of the Type 5 with SVT-40 recoil and permanently silenced for balance. Last german ditch weapons that i would like to see as gold order weapons:

Soviets can get avt with 10 rounds. Those were the standard magazines it used irl

The mags are compatible… they didn’t suddenly change the goddamn magwell just for the M2, the 30 rounders work in the M1 as well. What the hell even is this post.
And depending on how well you trust Wikipedia:
(And considering how the “Sawn off M2” is actually an M1 with its semi-auto functionality removed, your remark felt like it gave me a stroke)

It’s just on some guns they do actually change the mag well. It was a simple question, that’s all.
In my mind BR4 should be filled with 10-15 rd automatic rifles set on SEMI-AUTO first, as per old FG42/AVS.
It would keep them in check vs Br3 but still provide viable alternative in the 80% of cases where uptier happens (BR4 has been mostly destroyed by the strict matchmaking, where before it was a decent alternative).
Having a 10rd FG42, 10rd AVT etc would be an interesting nieche to explore.

In which case I’d like to see drum mag smg’s with under 75 rounds at br4 and for br4 to be its own bracket.

again you are not saying what you think you are saying
you want br5 to be its own bracket
what youre saying
br 1-2 2-3 4 5
what you think you are saying
br 1-2 2-3 3-4 5
This is what I always mean to say
While I do like the general Idea, it sorta takes away the moment reserved for the G-43, SVT-40, ZH-29 (allies could get turner)
Unless semi autos get a more defining buff to better differentiate from Select fires
(I still dont like the FG-42 or selectfires in general are standard riflemen weapons, not a fan of expanding that taint outside of BR 5…thats just me)

Oh still lots of viable alternatives for BR4
for example SKS prototype with VG-45 grenade launcher would fit perfectly I think .
Could get a 10-20rd 9.9dmg semi this way

Well if all those semis would be BR3 instead - maybe
But thats g 41, svt-38, and garands moment to shine (svt-38 changed to stripper clip reload)

[/quote] if these are br3 garand is br2
gewehr 43 10 shots 2.3 mag change
garand at br2 8 shots 3.1
garand sharing br3 with gewehr 43 1.7 mag change
Well yes I said maybe.
I would also prefer if weaker semis would be set for BR3 - in order not to disturb bolt action gameplay.
