You will have the opportunity to see that we will now see almost all units with M2, if it is available to them. There are people who play with kar on principle, they like it better, but does not negate the fact that fg is better.
Until the Germans have competitive tanks and planes, I don’t want an extra advantage for the allies.
If you have level 29 on both sides, you know about the P47+P38 missile rain, which doesn’t give you a chance to get to the point. Or about the jumbo in the gray zone.
After all, do you use fg in full auto? If not, the M2 is always better at close range because it’s in full auto.
You need more allied reinforcements, are you still failing?
100% agree.
M2 at long range was sooo bad. It does not have the accuracy at long range to do something like pick off an MG emplacement at 100 m + which I can do with FG so in my mind they have a different purpose.
i dont undestrand why is so difficult understand the m2 is an smg and bc its an smg it is in fact an smg and the fg42 is a rifle.

Yeah but it’s still pretty inaccurate unlike the FG. You will miss a bunch of those shots so who cares if it has an extra 30 rounds.
Stop nerf and buff mongering dude. It’s not that big of an issue.

You know, I often kill people with BAR from 30 meters with MP-35. Of course they have a theoretical advantage, but with SMG I can easily do it. Garand against MP-35 at 30-40 meters, I’m pretty sure I win, because I can shoot without stopping, disrupting the opponent’s aim and preventing him from aiming.
I think the long range problem is exaggerated by you. Weapons close to SMG in terms of damage are excellent up to 50 meters, and here 7.3. gewehr kurz is a great weapon at any distance, and there is similar damage.
I was willing to say those words a couple of months ago to the players for the allies, but they were against it, so no, I won’t stop.
Allies have the best SMG - Thompson, the best planes and tanks, they do not need another rifle, which is better than Thompson and available to all.
The Gewehr kurz is considered a very strong weapon, and the M2 is now extremely similar in damage and rate of fire. With Kurz I kill instantly at any range, with M2 will be about the same (Yes, of course, the recoil is more, but do not forget that Kurz I have 1 piece and you have dozens
Dude I am maxed on both sides and don’t have a preference.
In fact after maxing US and having a proper test on M2 I was agreeing with people who wanted a slight adjustment to recoil and muzzle flash to M2 because to me it was almost unusable outside of point blank and on hip fire because of it’s trash accuracy and recoil. After a bit of testing I decided to simply stick to the M1 Garands as at least theyre accurate and deadly.
I’m super happy with the buff because now I feel like I actually have a use for my M2s - as an SMG.
How about requesting a Pz4 or fw-190 buff then?
Oops, more city maps for your M2.
SMG’s no IMO MP 40 is better than almost all Allied SMGs except the Tommy and Beretta has 10 less vertical recoil and 10 extra rounds so it is better than Tommy gun.
Tanks yes, Planes yes. Allied has better ones but only at the highest levels in the game. Remember how trash the M8 Scott is?
The Kurz is freaking epic man that thing has almost no recoil especially if you put it on a guy with the V 40% recoil perk that thing is dope. I absolutely love it. The M2 cannot compete with that gun.
Also Germany has waaay better MG’s but it’s a different playstyle.
I’m sorry I straight up disagree on some of your points but that’s just my opinion.
Excellent! I love me some CQB.
I do, yet I deal with it. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Sometimes I stomp, sometimes I’m stomped. I don’t think anything is game breaking right now.
I thought the M8 was lame too, but then I started to see it vanshooting my Pz4. It’s a cardboard tank with a strong cannon that can confidently beat German tanks in the forehead.
The Germans have a cheesy Pz4 J because of the turret rotation and no other pluses.
Remind me, what is the recoil of the kurz and the 6 star M2 now? With the skill on recoil I think it will be small in both cases.
That’s not how the SMG problem works. The game is usually dragged by a couple of people with high levels, and there allies have a distinct advantage. While I was getting to 29, I was meeting Thompsons and had to do something, so it’s wrong either way.
At the end of the day the paradigm I’m sure of is: the team with the good tank and plane wins, everything else is unimportant. Tanks and planes are much stronger than a squad of infantry, so a strong tank or plane wins the game. Added to this is the problem of not having one of the vehicles on the other team. When the allies spam the P47 and P38 and no one on my team has a fighter, it’s an automatic defeat.
So let the Germans get decent tanks and planes and I’ll settle for equal infantry armament. Why people want to play with bad stuff I don’t understand. My principle is that all things are good with me and all things are good with the enemy. When I’m low on ammo and the enemy can’t see anything in the scope, it’s crap on both sides.
The FG42 beats the M2 in EVERYTHING but ammo reserve.

I have already proven that this is not the case. I hope you will play mostly on Axis to get a feel for the “balance”.
I suggest you play for a few weeks, or better yet, a month on the Axis first to get a feel for the balance, if it’s perfect.
When the Axis lose it’s usually because they are defending and nobody wants to sit in the point and defend or there aren’t enough decent players on the team because they are off wreaking havok in other campaigns. It’s not because of underpowered guns for sure.
Attacking is always a bit easier to play than defending for me.
PS I’m done with this discussion have a nice day Ralin hopefully we bump into each other ingame sometime. Peace

You have already ARGUMENTED your point.
Mine is that, besides statistics, the extreme versatility of the FG42 makes it just better.
