slow fire rate =/= same role to cover
weather it’s debatable that an MG has to cover the role of cover ( sorry for the poor choise of words, but i can’t come up with something better), they are still pretty much different. and the chauchat should be used eslewhere, or like i suggest in another thread, replace the mg30 to make it fair.
because having germans with more mgs than bolt actio rifles is stupid and pretty much off.
the magazine out class the other.
just like in the main line up. the vz is somewhat equal to the madsen. and should be like that.
Yup, chauchat was ment as fire and move weapon while maxim tokariev was HMG converted to LMG. They wouldn’t have the same usage even with simmilar stats.
But it was adopted by the Austrians in small numbers, and 3000 were used by the Hungarians - unfortunately no Hungarian troops at Moscow - that would have been a more interesting squad.
Plus the Luftwaffe adapted it for aircraft use as the MG15 - another possibly more interesting options.
I wouldn´t really say that because while PPK is slightly worse than MP41 they still stands a fair chance against each other (or amount of spreading cancer on enemy team). Another advantage of soviet PPK squad is the fact, that the squad composition consists of weapons suited the best for both different environments (most common ones in Moscow campaign), that is mid range (PPK) and short range (doomguy shotguns and PPDs which is environment where MP 41 is far worse performing in comparison… the only thing that saves soldier with MP41 from getting annihilated is health perk) which further helps to equalize them in terms of how P2W they are… I´m not letting PPK squad escape justice simply because the weapon itself is a little bit outshined by MP41.
(Before somebody tries o “correct me” that I should try to play soviet squad myself…I´m going to answer that in advance: I already do)
But to sum it up, this isn´t exactly the same case as MP41 vs PPK. This is far worse
I think this guys made to buff German side. They are weak in this meta and higly needs some good solid lmg.
Su side got some kind of long and mid range assault rifle. That’s how Chahaut works for now.
I’ll define unique, both of this guns were in use in pretty small numbers by germany and the USSR, at least in their infantry form.
The MG-30 was actually rejected by germany (from all of the sources I could find about it) and was mostly in use in austria and Switzerland (also hungary) but not really in german use with infantry.
(It was used in the luftwaffe a lot tho)
Also unique stuff are the less known guns/vehicles to people, I prefer getting to the iconic stuff faster and it being available for every one, you want the MG-34 to be premium gun and it’ll stop thousands or Hundreds of people from getting the gun in any form? No I am sure you don’t so I prefer sacrifice a less known guns in this case…
MG13 is “solid” enough and a lot of Soviet mains cried about it being better than the Madsen.
and MG30 is just as capable at mid-long range as the Chauchat.
There really was no need for the Germans to get this good of a gun.
Despite all your personal phrases i will say - for now German side feels weak because of top players gone to Normandy.
Prems in Moscow battle could took back some of them. Yesterday I’ve seen many premium German squads. Play against them much more fun though.
I’m as always subjective and I feels tired about this way of communicate, then somebody every time criticise my opinion here. I will be very pleased, if you stop it. I don’t want to argue with you.
just because most of the german players went in normandy, doesn’t mean the germans needs buffs.
because when we will reach open beta i will by my A** off that many people will complain about this.
and making squads out just to get the people interestred in moscow again it’s a sorry exscuse and it didn’t worked. it just bringed some people that were interestred about those weapons and their effect/efficensy.
i highly doubt about that
subjective opinions does not make a game better.
like, i get your intents. but you are not considering the objective side view. which it’s essential.
and i don’t find that for the game it’s healthier bring more squads that fucks complealty the balance.
