If you’re talking about Alphatest, they did not have more damage but instead had no recoil and they also had the aiming sircle so you could use them without aiming through iron sights
Semi’s did do 12 at one point at least
I think G41 dealt 9.5 or 10 damage which was more than SVT so it was usable (but still worse than BA)
The problem is, we don’t have any proof and without any footage (which was forbidden) we can only rely on our memories
I think that damage is correct, however, that was fully upgraded version. I remember “stock” semi auto being almost useless, but in pre-alpha tests they were performing great.
Also there was recoil, but it was not so bad to be hard to get used on.
I remember Berlin playtest was when they started to fall behind
I think my radioman was armed with the SVT and when I call artillery, I would always switch to Mosin rifleman
That may be possible but it was still probably a matter of prefference as I found myself using semi auto every time I had chance to, even if it is picked up from the ground.
Semi autos were worse in Berlin test, but became truly awful after alpha testing began.
But of course it is pretty much possible that my memory is messing with me.

I wouldn’t use them as a sniper. They were strictly for close combat for me.
And I obviously haven’t used them since alpha ended. I have no clue how it performs now. But I would be very happy if we got the closed alpha performance in the future.

Or pre-alpha performance which was much better than closed alpha
