Indeed. I’ve maxout every faction and I can tell you it’s very frustrating to manually change the fire mod of every soldier on your squad equiped with FG42 II,FG42 and G43 Kurz.
The only other non german weapon with similar issue I’m aware of is the AVS 36.
But AVT-40 is better imo and don’t have the issue.
its good that people keep posting this, as apparently some gopnik a DF thinks its better to annoy the player base with the semi auto as default mode and DF itself stated they dont listen to the quality of comments, but only quantity. so the more fg42 posts are spammed the better.
multiple people told me that the russian enlisted forum is full of biased drunk soviet fanboys who instantly complain about anything that makes the german army stronger and DF seems to listen to that noise. this would explain this obv nonsense & no 100 round MG for germans but TWO for soviets
Its completely broken, specifically because it uses assault rifle ammo - which deals less damage than real MGs - however real MGs already dont kill in one shot, so this negative effect has ONLY benefits, as in no dispersion on the move and non existing recoil.
That RPD performs just how MGs performed before the dispersion nerfs - as a high capacity assault rifle, which shows the hypocrisy of the devs, because that was the reason to add MG movement penalties to begin with.
