This weapon is strangely worse than the rest of the SF weapons in the game (excluding Soviet SFs), the damage of this weapon needs to be buffed (it can have the same base damage of 10-11, or base damage of 8-9 with recoil buff).

Why do you need an M2 carbine? Uncle Sam gave you a T20.

More choices! Just as the Germans can now choose between high RoF or low recoil.

Why compare M2 to FG42/ II and not the FG42/I?

Oh well, my original intention was to compare it to the Japanese model, but thanks for the reminder!
Just finally give all .30 guns kurtz damage.
Brain dead comparison

the weapon has adequate stats overall. the 1 real problem it has are bad sights, which make it much less playable than the t20.
by stats alone the weapon already makes the american AR obsolete.

why? Just compare it with the Japanese one.
The damage is very low,
It should be an Assaulter weapon. I like it more than T20 as it has very stable recoil, only problem are bad sights.

Well it’s SF right now, so we have to balance it with other SFs.
I ran some nerd maths:
with 10 dmg, M2 Carbine will down an enemy without vitality in 1 shot and kill in 2 shots at 10m, however at 20m this drops to: 2 shots to down and 2/3 to kill depending on your luck.
Enemies with vitality (basic for veterans, especially on BR5) it will down enemies in 2 shots up to ~200m and kill an enemy in 2/3 shots depending on your luck.
Currently its 8.8 damage will do pretty much the same, except it cannot one tap at any range.
This buff will only increase the weapon´s effective range and affect enemies without vitality.
On a very positive note: this would also buff M1 carbine.
Final verdict: very reasonable.

Ah yes a fullpower cartrige compared to an intermidiate cartridge. Get real
Yeah, let’s buff every SF rifle possible even further
I think the M2 Carbine should at the minimum be buffed by getting better sights. YMMV but I personally believe that they’re still terrible.

Going to have to disagree with you on this one my friend. Don’t think of the US Carbines as rifles, but as better pistols in the primary slot, when you do that you’ll realize just how good they are.
Just going to remind you of an old suggestion of mine (I know you’ve seen it), I think that this over a stats change will give the M2 (and M1) the usefullness it deserves:

Considering the overpowering power of all other weapons, it’s really weak, it should either be buffed, or your suggestion could be implemented, but keeping it unchanged would be unfair.
This weapon is unlike any other weapon in the game, so I prefer to classify it in the category it is placed in.
Also keep in mind that buff to 10-11 damage would make the bullets hit harder than the German Assault Rifles, weapons firing more powerful ammunition…
