Add SKS-45 as BR 2 soviet semi auto

Soviets are the only side without a low-BR semi auto in the tech tree. Since the game has fully jumped the shark when it comes to the equipment historical accuracy at this point, the devs might as well introduce the SKS-45 as the soviet BR 2 semi. Since it fires intermediary round, max damage should be 9.6 fully upgraded and 10rd (stripper clip fed) mag size with a relatively low recoil.

This should make it roughly comparable to the Japanese / Axis BR2 semis which have around 40% higher damage but lower mag size / more recoil, and the US carbine which has around 10% lower damage but 50% higher mag size.

There’s no need for Soviet to have semi BR2, as they’re the only faction that has lever action BR2 rifle.

…which has exactly the same rate of fire as the straight-pull mannlicher M1895 (both 76) on Axis.

Should we delete Armaguerra?

I dont get it…
Soviets have:

  • Best SMGs in almost every BR
  • Decent rifles
  • Decent MGs in BRIII, superior MGs in BRV with 100 rds/mag
  • Superior/capable semis in BRIII → BRIV → BRV
  • Good early AT guns at BRII → Bazooka ← which handles a lot more better then the GranatbĂźchse 39 with less penetration but still able to destroy all german vehicles to BRIII
  • They use the PAK40 from the germans
  • They get the Panzerfaust 60 from the germans
  • The KV-1 is a PAIN to destroy, specially when you face it as BRII team. Best tank of BRIII
  • We dont need to talk about the soviet BRV. Maaaaany prototypes that never were fielded or never saw action in the late european theatre of war → yet every soviet soldier in enlisted got their hands on the AS-44 or RD-44 which furthermore acts like a laser gun :clown_face:

Seriously the USSR does not need to have the best of the best in every BR…

So a BR 2 semi auto for soviets is OP, or what’s the point of your random crying here? :clown_face:

You are crying…

Soviets dont need a semi in BRII because they are strong in next to every other BR and/or weapon type.

False :-1:

Because factions should have comparable equipment in all BRs.

So thats why the german faction STILL lacks a good MG with minimum 100 rds…
Thats why soviet guns are better then the counterparts in the respective BRs…

I wrote a proposal. You come in randomly moaning about your unrelated opinions about how germany suffers.

Sorry man, but I guess you are just another guy who plays only one faction. People like you are known for blatant lying. Bye.

Dude, I only told you how good the soviet equipment is and mentioned, that the soviets dont need the best of the best in every BR. With their PPS-42/43 they will totally dominate BRII when they get a semi with 10 rds and next to zero recoil compared to all other guns.

Omg grow up.

Where is it a lie when I check the tech trees of every nation and clearly see that one faction dominates?
I played USSR, US/GB and Germany, but thank you.

It is fine as long as it was made, developed, or saw service within the timeline of WW2. Prototypes and experimentals count as well

When will we get our own lever actions I wonder

Better than the M1 lemme tell you

I think the line should be built, functional prototype. That way we have hard numbers like RoF to work with instead of DF taking something like a piece of wood or a bunch of pieces and assigning either arbitrary or perfectly idealistic stats

I write a proposal and you drop in to seethe about KVs and 100rd mgs, and immediately conjure some made up shit about how this non-existing weapon will be op.

:rofl:

Right now in my view, having two weapon slots in low BR for soviets is basically pointless esp. for radio operators and riflemen, as there’s no interesting variety to choose from. You literally only have winchester and moisins, which also share the ammo pool (so unlike when taking a carcano and kar98, you don’t even get twice the ammo).

Literally no point. So not only is there a fundamentally missing class of weapons, this reduces the viability of choice in a way that is not present in the other factions, which doesn’t make sense nor is it fun for players.

I just tried to show you that the soviets got 99% of their gear right and really dont need a semi in low BR - far better then just write “no”. I didn’t mean to be offensive.

The german/italian teams do face the same “problems” because literally no one choses the Armaguerra. They use K98s and Mannlichers.

Maybe there is a soviet semi with 5 rds - that seems fair. But a 10rd laser really will beat up BRII.
The SVD-30 w/o scope could fit.

We´ll give him Amaguerra copy in russian version so he can expirience the uslessness in russian way and everything is fine :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

Unlike most commentators here apparently, i play all factions so i have a bunch of armaguerras. It’s for sure better than no semi auto.
