A "Federov Avtomat" for Germany: Vollmer MKb.35 (not MKb.35/III)

The first iteration of the Vollmer MKb.35 was very similar to the BR 2 AR currently in game, except it had a rate of fire of 600-700 rounds per minute. I think it would make the perfect foil to the Soviet Federov Avtomat in their tree. Since the AS-44 specs are near-identical to the STG-44, I suggest the MKb.35 gets comparable damage, rate of fire, recoil, dispersion, and reload speed to the Federov, with the 5 rounds fewer magazine (25 vs 20) remaining consistent.

Nice.

I would love to have some tech tree SF rifle other than FG.

counter offer - Fedorov’s gets stats Hei Autonatic rifle :tipping_hand_man:

the proposal is stupid - the author has absolutely no understanding of the game

How about

  • Mkb 42 (H)
  • MP 43/1
  • Mkb 42 (W)
  • Horn
  • Stg 45 (M)

but apparently not enough - Axis have to play by rolling face on the keyboard

Yes, federov should definitely be reclassified to SF rifle.

Fedorov is fine as an AR, it’s fun to use without being game breaking

As such it is perfectly reasonable to want such a weapon for other nations, I, and gauging by the likes on this post, others would infact love such weapons

I think that would make Soviets actually overpowered,

Equipment balance is extremely overrated.

Soviets are going to always suffer. Their mains are incompetent af.

If you want to buff Soviet, give them a better tank or planes. Not buffing their infantry, that is already strong. Than the balance just gets wonky

Or just stop acting like reclassifying federov to SF Rifle is some kind of broken buff to Soviets, lol.

Or just stop nagging about it ‘technically’ being an SF

AVT - 15.3 dmg, 815 velocity, 660 rof, 15 mag
AVS - 15.8 dmg, 815 velocity, 660 rof, 15 mag
Federov SF - 13.9 (same cartridge as Type Hei auto, so it logically should have same dmg), 660 velocity, 600 rof, 25 mag.
(Btw. You may not know this, but the Type hei Auto has 790 rof. Compared to the 600 the federov has)

Federov as SF definitely wouldn’t be strictly superior to AVT/AVS. It would just be a tradeoff in worse killing potential for higher magazine capacity.

But I guess you doesn’t even bother to analyze stats… :man_shrugging:

Why is the Hey Automatic Rifle better?

Moreover, it can be used by 9 people versus 4

with the most disgusting and uncomfortable vertical/horizontal recoil stats :tipping_hand_man:

in comparison with FG-42-2 / Hey automatic rifle / or T20

and for some reason it turns out that the axis is better

I’m ready to make a bet without analysis to 6250 gold :tipping_hand_man:

I take Japanese / German with a weak weapon that is in balance - and for some reason the players run away from the axis with their tail between their legs

it means the weapon axis is not in balance in top tier V rank)))
no one wants to play for the allies PVP - one by one

Devs should increase recoil for all SF rifles tbh. But that’s only my personal preference. I guess it could be way drastic change.

Interesting gun. We should get it in the TT since if prototype AS-44 can be added then anything prototypical can be added.

yeah that would be nice - rank 5 looks like shooting laser guns with incredible precision

I can’t imagine how to play at rank 3 versus 5 - probably child beating

its fine as an AR.

Stop this obsession with stats and actually look to its use in game. Federov is fucking good (type hei too, but Japs sadly dont get a AR but I guess type Hei is plenty strong)

:sob:

you have to cry some more

in comparison with an automatic rifle, hey - everything else is unnecessary garbage

or maybe you can compare with the Thompsons - 4 rang Tokio SubMachine gun ???

I wonder what he does with such characteristics at rank 4 while the Thompsons are at rank 5
