BR2 is the most overbloated BR in the game. 
That’s exactly what I was talking about in this post.
And what I meant by this:
Well as you can see the ‘‘specialists’’ on the forum dont understand nothing of guns that why I made my post if they had any idea they would have understand that M1941 is not gas operated while M1944 is gas operated but no one of them really could see it and as you can see this and I hoped some one of them would have seen it so he could explain it now im gonna wait for him to read the entire manual… and M1941 has no gasport…only M1944 has a gasport wait until he find the gasport on M1941 
Do actually think the Johnson is currently a viable choice at br4? It’s only br4 as a token, just so the Devs can say the US has a br4 mg. Br2 bloat can be fixed by kicking out the OP br2 smgs, I do agree the Devs should use their resources to fill holes in the tech tree instead of just adding more br2 content.

It doesn’t matter IF the Johnson is capable of a higher rpm, because it wasn’t used at the rpm, so the Johnson in game should be a representation on how it was used, NOT how it COULD of been used.

Go search for that gasport
Please reread what I wrote, slower this time so perhaps you can understand it.

Of course it is. This weapon is one tap annihilator.
I will always prefer it over weapons such as MG42, Te-4, DT-29.
Sure, better BR4 MGs definitely exists as well. Such as Type Hei LMG, Federov MG, MG45, MG42 early.
But Johnson LMG is definitely one of my most favorite TT MGs.
Unfortunately the current Johnson lmg is based on a lie, the current form is a fantasy based on poor and lazy research by the Devs.
But even if the Johnson lmg wasn’t nerfed and kept it’s 900rpm, I still think it ought to be br3 because the 20 round mag paired with a absurd rpm is a bad combination.

Yeah, and that’s why all SF rifles sucks.
Whatever, if that’s what you think. Okay.
I should clarify, it sucks at being a mg. Also the fg42 GL with 900rpm is also worse than the standard variant with a lower rpm.

Doesn’t it also have terrible MG movement deviation penalty? I bet its not much different than German BR2 MGs.
Ah, so suddenly the problem is MG weapon type and not small mag capacity in combination with high rof.
Anyway, that’s why I proposed this:
It has the lowest dispersion penalty for movement of all American and British machine guns.
Except for the Vickers Berthier. Which is broken because it doesn’t have one.
Well there is reason for that M1941 is recoil-operated and M1944E1 is gas operated … really the gas operated Johnsons are after the war… A gas-operated firearm generally has less recoil than a recoil-operated firearm…
The problem hasn’t changed, it’s small mag and high rpm make it not very good for doing mg duties.

Sure but also give new BAR with 40 rounds at BR4

Just don’t try to play this gun like the MG42. You also don’t play the BAR the same way as the MG34
That’s purely your fault if you can’t respect the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon you’re playing with. And you’re trying to use it in role of different weapon.
I dont know about that - MP5 is recoil operated - but has a delayed recoil system that smooths the initial recoil down by quite a bit, saying gas operated is generally less violent… i don’t know, I think the mass of the bolt and type of recoil spring have more influence on that than the way the bolt is being moved.
How do you think do we use now more gas-operated firearm or recoil-operated firearm ? Did M1944E1 had better rate of fire and recoil then M1941 ?
I understand that, as a automatic rifle it’s only any good at short range because of it’s rpm, automatic rifles are ment to be able to reach out further. All this is besides the point however because the current version is incorrect so it should be fixed.

Well I would guess this has multiple reasons, also technically there are even differences between direct gas systems and those with gas pistons.
This topic is quite complicated I would say.
