true very unique until face off with russian soldier with a uragan

Yeah, let’s just ruin any uniqueness the weapon has. Because it’s definitely better to have 2 weapons with same rate of fire than with different ones.
And if you think mp34 is better, literally nothing is forcing you to put it to your BR2 line up.

That’s the whole point I’m getting at. NO BR I weapon should be better than a BR II weapon. 40 rounds in a magazine doesn’t make it any better than the MP34, especially with a slower fire rate.
It’d be just my luck that they nerf the MP34 instead…

MP34 is not better than Fnab. 
Plus there are many ways how to actually buff the weapon without touching its unique rate of fire. I really don’t understand this obsession with ruining anything that’s unique.
Arguably. Either way, a 50 or 80rpm buff still doesn’t retract from the FNABs appeal or role, it just makes it better at it. The accuracy and recoil are already good enough, which is why everyone only suggests rpm buffs.
Yeah, “everyone”.
If anything with this weapon I would rather a dmg buff but that would likely require a BR increase, which I personally would not mind, it is not an early war weapon as far as I know.
5.8 or 6.0 damage wouldn’t be bad (the MP40 has 5.8 and it’s in the same BR).
kinda unique = kinda unusable, especially when almost every smg you face hits just as hard, has relatively the same recoil but shoots twice as fast. 
If we’re gonna leave the FNAB at 400, then drop it to level one. It would shoot as slow as a Grease gun, and with less power.

I would much rather a faster firing FNAB-43. Even 450rpm gives it purpose, as it’s a more refined MP34. And in BR I, I would still choose the MP34 because it’s objectively better.

But but thats the unique part ? Its unusable
Worse dispersion than mp40, recoil about the same.
Theres just 0 reason to use it.

In it’s current form, it’s a level one smg masquerading as a level two. Doing my own research, I have seen four places that list it’s “MOST COMMON” ROF anywhere between 500 going all the way up to 837, and one that rated it at 400. Yes, I am quite sure the manufacture made some with 400, and some with 837, but the most common I find says 600.
Seeing that there are numbers differing from 400 to 837, and seeing that the Dev’s chose to use all the HIGHER numbers when programming the PPS-42, PPS-43 and Uragan, I would say it would at least be fair to buff the FNAB to 600, since there obviously were FNAB’s made to fire at that rate.

its below level 1 if it had 0 dispersion and could be used as laser gun with 400rof, then I guess it could be be br2.
Currently it doesnt fit anywhere.
~800 it could compete with the uragan, just increase the dispersion to same level
Or alternatively ~800 - 870 rof and decrease the dispersion to 0.2 and its counter assault rifle for ppsh box at BR3.

I would put it at 600 base and 690 maxed, exactly where the PPS-42 is. The Dev’s also need to re evaluate their PPS-43 ROF as well as they used the high numbers with it as well.

Thats right! and i shoot everything what is a assault or smg in half auto cuz mostly we have a wide open map and its useless fireing in wide placees in full-auto.
because russian AT-44 got buffed in case of ROF to it’s real one and the real ROF of FNAB was 550! Same reason why DF buffed Beretta M38/42
fully agree
FNAB 43 is a BR II weapon, not BR I - never was.

I was referring to the MP34…it fires faster than the FNAB.
Lets not pretent there are alternatives that preform much better. Its not like every SMG needs to be top tier.
Its like you guys are pretending your being forced to fight with this weapon or something.
I like the BRI proposal. Thats something I could get behind, or maybe increasing the damage output while keeping it on BRII. But increasing its fire rate just makes it another MP40 clone.
