In this current meta where full-auto rifles with 15.3 damage are everywhere, M2 Carbine’s only saving grace is its hip-fire—and that’s just not enough.

Why would you even consider arming tank crews and APC drivers to the teeth? If these guys ever need to use their primary weapons, things must’ve already gone sideways. Besides, an APC squad only has one driver anyway—just use the M2A1 from the Christmas event and call it a day.
Because that’s what was done in real life, so I would like to be able to recreate that in the game. Why are you so opposed to it? You’re clearly not making a balance argument since you brought up the M2A1 (which is also a paratrooper weapon, so it doesn’t feel right giving it to my vehicle crews).
I would also rather use the M2 on my Assaulters over the Hyde, because I’d rather use a weapon that was actually adopted over a prototype.

Id rather not adjust the m1 crybine, I think its good as it is. Less dmg than germut counterpart at BR2 but essentially larger mag & fairly quick reload makes up the lack of power.
Kinda feel if it gets buffed much it would be bit overperforming for BR2.
then dont use it, use the T20.
are we just gonna gloss over the fact that the m2 carbine carries 120 rounds of ammo without needing a backpack

If you reduce the damage of automatic rifle to 9.6, then they will also have 120 rounds of default ammunition.
I don’t understand why the M1/M2 Carbine can’t be under the “Volkssturm Rifle” class that the VG 1-5 is under (aka Carbine Class). The VG 1-5 can be used on assaulters, and I feel the M1/M2 Carbine should have the same ability too.

also, the M2 carbine isn’t an assault rifle like the STG, its more like an obese SMG similar (but not equal) to the kiraly. Unlike SMGs and assault rifles, you can give the M2 carbine to flamers, radio operators, engineers, mortarmen, and so on. Nobody else gets anything like that in their tech tree
At the end of the day, don’t bother comparing the M2 carbine to assault rifles or automatic battle rifles because its neither. It’s basically an SMG that goes on any class. If you don’t like it, there’s always the T20 rifle

because it originally could only be used by assaulters and nobody else, and nobody used it at all since it was semi automatic only, so they decided to expand it to more classes

Still, why can’t the M1/M2 Carbine do the same thing? Germany has 3 different STG variants (not counting premiums or event) that are in BR V. I’m sure it won’t hurt to have 2 assault rifles for the US in BR V.
