The Fedorov has completely replaced the AS-44 as an ‘assault rifle in disguise,’ yet the AS-44 doesn’t offer any clear advantages over its counterpart, the STG 44. So why not buff its full reload speed from 2.7s to 2.3s, remove the tactical reload, and reuse the AVT-40 (15)’s magazine-swap animation? That ‘slapping a new mag into the old one’ reload looks damn cool, honestly.

I remember that the AS445 is an assault rifle with an open-bolt ready position. Improving its reload speed is indeed a good idea. Don’t forget the AS444.

Definately not.
You already have the strongest assault rifle in the game.

Strong in what? The same 9.6 damage as the STG44? The mere 10 RPM rate-of-fire advantage? The slower reload speed? Or the nearly identical accuracy? Face it—the AS-44 is just a lazy STG44 reskin. The German mains already got their OP FG-42 buff, so giving Soviet assault rifles a minor buff is more than fair. Plus, I absolutely love that ‘slap-in-the-new-mag’ reload animation.

haha Do you own an MKb 42(M) ? In front of it, every other assault rifle is a clown . Even the Fedorov falls short at long range.

Better muzzle velocity and a bayonet which decreases recoil.
The AS 44 is a better STG.
The STG has a 0.1 second better reload.
You complain about the FG 42 when both of the select fire rifles of the Soviet union are receiving buffs this update.
The only assault rifle that can compete with select fire rifles is the Federov.

An event weapon of which there are only two available.
The Federov can one hit kill at 100 metres and the Mkb 42M cannot.

Please do not assume that there are only 2 of these weapons, and Fedorov also cannot take down a soldier with 13.5 health at 100 meters. "The Fedorov can’t one-tap a soldier with 13.5 HP at 22 meters, while the Mkb 42(m) will absolutely bully it with its superior fire rate.

Why it should
Soviet doesn’t need advantage on every weapon

My mistake then i did not know that more were available.
How many do you have?
Can you run three assaulter squads, paratroopers and an apc like you can with the Federov?
Yea the AS-44 doesn’t need buffs, it being equivalent to the STG-44 (technically better but by such tiny increments that it’s going to have basically zero effects on gameplay) is perfectly fine. If the Fedorov is overperforming then it should be nerfed as opposed to the AS-44 being buffed.

How did you get eight of them?
I guess it was before my time.
Silver Coin Chest – If you’re as lucky as me, you can get it for around 5 million silver coins.Of course, most people end up losing everything.
Yeah but that is a random chance that you have eight but most other players only have the two from the event.
I have opened many boxes but not that amount.
You cannot really compare an event weapon to a tech tree weapon.
One is freely available and the other is not.
In my opinion the MKb 42m is better at cqc but the Federov is better at range.
Alright, I can’t argue with the muzzle velocity point. But you’re telling me you can actually feel the difference with a bayonet that only gives +5% vertical recoil reduction? Either you’re some kind of FPS prodigy, or you’re completely delusional—and since you’re playing Enlisted, it’s definitely the latter.
As for your so-called ‘buffs to two automatic rifles’—only the AVS-36 got any meaningful changes, and it still gets outclassed by the FG 42 I. Meanwhile, the ‘AVT-40 (20)’ is just Darkflow’s lazy attempt at damage control. Swapping a unique tech-tree suppressed SMG for yet another boring 20-round low-RPM auto rifle isn’t exactly what I’d call ‘funny’.
Darkflow’s current balancing philosophy seems to be buffing everything rather than nerfing anything. So why not just follow their logic and push for weapon buffs?
Does a bayonet give you the abiltity to charge without changing weapons?
A bayonet makes your bots much deadlier as well.
Oh so giving the Soviets the only tech tree silenced weapon is fair?
Quite a few people had an issue with that.
If im delusional please enlighten me.
In which way is the Stg better that the As 44?
The only delusion is people asking for buffs when they already have the strongest small arms in the game.

Man i really hate people being disingenuous when suggesting something, then attacking other person by insulting them when questioned lol.
The AS-44 is actually in a good spot right now, and trying to blatantly buff it by justifying it with “OP Fg42 buff” is not well thought out. (It was literally “buffed” because it had the worst damage, recoil control, and so on at br5. It was to make it balanced against other rifles at its tier (t20 and avt).
Also, comparing a TT rifle to a battlepass or event weapon is crazy lol

It doesn’t need any buffs as it’s already a superior gun to STG44. Why do you soviets always want to get something more? Ain’t you satisfied with overpowered: Fedorov, RD-44, AT-44, Body armor?
AVT-40 just got buffed and will be very close to FG42 II and i will be actually preferring using it over FG as it shoots slower and not make me lose as many rounds as FG42
