With the new queue system, we now suddenly have an actual reason to move things from BR2 to BR1 or BR5 to BR4 which we previously mostly ignored because the queue range wouldn’t have changed. Please post any items which you think should have it’s BR adjusted and to what, and like any posts with suggestions that you agree with for dev visibility.
My personal suggestions:
MKb 42 (H) from BR V to BR IV
MKb 42 (W) from BR V to BR IV
StG 45 (M) from BR V to BR IV
Gerat 03 from BR V to BR IV
PPD 40 from BR V to BR IV (where the suppressed variant already is)
Tokyo Arsenal from BR IV to BR V
MP-18 from BR II to BR I
IAR-81C from BR I to BR III (OR it gets a reduced armament load)
I would prefere mkb become selective fire and usable by all soldiers and stay in BRV, because after playing US and Soviet using extensively avt and T20 i can fairly say german bot without a full auto gun in BRV are completely outmatched, also it take to much time change fg fire mode manually for all the squad
Honestly the best solution would be have a fire selector menu on the gun in the armory or make the fg2 start in full auto… But if we can’t have it, maybe the mkb should becomes German main SF
And yep I know isn’t better than the avt,M2 an T20, but is something at least, also it would give this gun a purposes than be filler
Well most of the price from the advanced bundle comes from the mg13 w/drum mag squad, ths Pz. Sfl is “just a bonus” if you can call it like that, and also the M3 field mod. and the Berreta m1918.
You know, after our recent Hellcat discussion, and now that the Panzer IV G has gotten special AP ammo, maybe all SPGs in general could get the same ammo treatment without needing them to lower their BR.
that is also one of the reasons that the M8A1 Scott seems to me that its a little bit wore than the howitzer one, also I dont have the mg13 drum mag squad and I already have the Monitor.
I know, same with the Soviet Lewis marines (another good/interesting squad I didn’t get for some reason), also interesting squad from the same bundle, instead of the lewis I bought the Fedorov MG which was good in Moscow but now its never there since its a Fedorov
I mean, the only real difference between all those guns seem to be fire rate anyways.
STG44 only has increased fire rate because of the powercreep from back in the days.
In reality a STG44 or a MKB42 should all cycle at around 500RPM - which absolutely could turn them all into BR4 weapons per performance.
I personally feel like turning everything into a trooper selectfire weapon removes the purpose of the Assaulter class.
I like the deliberate differentiation of assault rifles and select fire rifles, it creates this idea that selectfire weapons are basically semi auto high damage battle rifle, that can use full auto in close quaters, while Assault rifles have low enough recoil to make them usable in full auto in mid to semi long range, but not killing in one shot as a tradeoff.
The problem is that this difference is getting less noticable recently, extra survivability from Armor and Paratroopers gets rid of the extra damage benefit from full caliber selectfire rifles, while SMGs often fill the role assault rifles should fill, where many SMGs can easily kill targets at even 100 meters distance in full auto.
I honestly am not too sure about what exactly should be done, but I feel like weapon placement and what role those guns should fill is kinda all over the place.
Ppsh41 to br 4
Kiraly to br 4
Possibly avs to br 4 since it starts on semi auto and the avt is better than it in most aspects.
Since the mkb’s are being requested in this post to be br 4, id say reduce the rpm of the fedorov to br around 450/500 then reduce the br to br 4 with the mkb’s.
Another redo: id say even the mp717 to br 4 to counter the ppsh
