Buff AVT 40

A change to the rate of fire and a mag increase, all in the same source? Nice!

If people want something close to the current AVT, they could also add the AVD-32: 580(640) RPM, 20 round magazine.

In fact, many magazine options were made, a 20-round magazine from the KB P 180 would have been enough, more than 18 thousand rifles with such a magazine were made, but during control checks they showed frequent failures to feed cartridges and the magazines never went into service. Here is my detailed article on Ru Forum.

Yes which means they made guns with high capacity clips not that any soldiers say them in combat. Two that they produced AVT40?not that they produced half a million.

WW2 Soviet production was incredible, quality control was pathetic, Soviet workers killed more Soviet soldiers then axis soldiers did.

Above I wrote about 18 thousand produced 20-round magazines for the AVT. But after the Ho Ri, PPSh Bramit, Hino rifle - this remark sounds very absurd.

In fact, the Fedorov automatic rifle that is currently in the game should not have a misfire (like the Breda PG) and should have a 15-round magazine, if it is brought to historically correct values, it will be similar to the AVT.

Hori is straight up trash, hino is not tech tree, as I think is not the bramit it. You want to make a 25 round premium at or event I’m all for it but tech tree is straight up premium or event. Stop trying to creep the power creep

Tech tree
Event
Premium

Each has different standards, tech tree being the highest

Okay, as I said, 20 magazines would be enough, of which more than 18 thousand were made.

Look I get you the SF is the key to the throne, everyone wants to have the strongest. Hell the t20 is even worse then the avt40. But ok 20 rounds next I know the Germans will want something putting the allies back on the bottom

They actually had a lot of fully automatic M1 Garand designs, some with over 900 RPM, some with scopes and grenade launchers, so there are a lot of interesting and powerful weapons that could be added to them as well.

I feel ya back when us had the m2 it hurt real bad. Avt vs fg42 having the same rof but 3 rounds for every 4. Yeah that’s but to suck. That andnthe Germans have scoped SF and ars and still cry. Can’t spell USSr without us Russian enlisted players and US forever.

Someone pointed out there is an item in the editor named

So hopefully, the avt will one day have a 20 rounds magazine instead of 15.

It is possible! There is a precedent: they changed the Gerat premium rifle from 15 to 20, so they can certainly do the same with the AVT.

And that way Soviets will have literally no downsides and become number 1 nation in entire game no matter which loadout you pick and could carry overpowered Soviet armor.

I will ask you after that change (that will happen soon) what Germany going to have better than the Soviets?

No don’t tell me Tiger as tiger dies in 1-3 shots from Faust or your jets/propellers/at gun. Give me one example of superior gun. I’m waiting. If you say MG42 100 then i will laugh at you.

Do you really expect for German players to keep playing and being at total disadvantage? BR2 is already deserted and you can win constantly as only newbies and bots are playing there.

And nerf it’s rof to 400 rpm

changing the magazine from 15 to 20 rounds is really reasonable for the AVT, however…

I’m partial about higher rof because I’m not sure it would help the rifle much (I don’t really mind)

Remove the body armor damage reduction (make it purely cosmetic), and everything will be perfect!

Any solder have FG42-2 in combat

660 rate of fire is fine

Soviet mains are hungry for buffs, but for why? The recent update buffing USSR at every single tier was not enough?

20 round AVT would be more than enough

lol, you havent tried using recoil perks, weapon upgrades, and crouching? Shooting in automatic with all of the Select Fire rifles is easy…

[edit]

A Fallschirmjäger firing the early FG 42 in June 1944

After approximately 2,000 FG 42s had been produced by Krieghoff, supplies of the manganese steel from which the receivers were forged were diverted to other needs; this meant a redesign was required to use stamped sheet metal in its place. Field reports that the lightweight rifle was not sturdy enough to handle full-power rifle ammunition in cyclic mode made Krieghoff engineers design the Type G. Improvements were: relocating the bipod from the front of the handguard to the muzzle to reduce shot dispersion; changing the pistol grip angle to near vertical; enlarging the handguard and changing the stock from stamped steel to wood to minimize overheating, adding weight to the bolt and lengthen its travel to reduce the cyclic rate of fire. Also a four position gas regulator was fitted, the bolt and recoil spring were changed to wound wire, a case deflector was fitted and the muzzle brake and the bayonet mount was changed. These changes, particularly the pistol grip change and the bipod relocation, are clearly visible on late-model FG 42s. Production models also had a simple flip-out spike bayonet under the barrel hidden by the bipod. In the later version the bayonet was shortened from around 10 inches (250 mm) to around 6 inches (150 mm). There were never enough FG 42s to arm most Fallschirmjäger as originally intended, however most were employed in the western front following the events of D-Day, with the particular use of FG-42 during the Battle of Carentan and the Falaise Pocket (nearly a quarter of all FG-42 produced were in the hands of the 2nd Parachute Division).
