In the current game, the default firing mode of the AVS and FG is semi-automatic. This is highly inconvenient and unfair. Automatic rifles like the AVT and M2 Carbine have a default firing mode of full-auto, so why are only these weapons set to semi-automatic? This results in AI only shooting in semi-automatic mode and forces players to manually switch firing modes. Please change the firing mode of both rifles to full-auto. This is not a difficult task.

I disagree. In real auto rifles like the FG 42 were intended to act as a pseudo infantry rifle and an emergency auto for fire support. Most auto rifles have high recoil
Of coarse most people tend to look at things from our modern perspective where every soldier is armed with an automatic weapon but it was a different time 
Bolt and semi autos were standard infantry because it was all about maximizing damage and range
I even prefer semi auto on the FG 42. I would even say they should make all auto rifles semi as default.
Maybe they could make it so AI is able to switch between modes. Or maybe have it so we could set preferred mode

Dose this mean the M2, can be a semi auto also, besides auto?
Doesn’t matter, in the game they are generally speaking more effective in full auto and having them start as semi auto was actually a stupid attempt at balancing them - probably thanks to wastedwoodsman.
It is time for this to return to how it used to be first when the weapon came to the gane.

Should be, but then you just have a m1 carbine with a bigger mag - who needs that?

Well actually no. M1 carbine is limited by it’s low rate of fire, it does not fire as fast as you can click while the M2 can with its 750 rounds minutes. You can do surprising work at medium range with the semi-auto mode of the M2. But yeah it is more a gimmick than really useful.
And yeah there is no reason as to why FG and AVS starts in semi-auto.

Auto for bots, single fire for player would be my preference

Long overdue.
Of all the endtier guns, it’s just the FG 42 variants that still start in semi auto. At least the AVT starts in auto, but the AVS should, as well.
In “real”, the AVT wasnt allowed to be fired in full auto and here we are.
We look at a game that adds wood tanks and at people that still come with realism in said game.
And?
(Also, in “real”, the ZH wasnt used by the Germans excluding a very small numbers of SS soldiers)
They were that because most nations did not have (working) assault rifles or working battle rifles until mid/ late war.
for all those here saying “i want it to stay semi auto”
—> then DF needs to let the player toggle in the squad menu how we want our weapons to be in the game.
its straight up annoying, fucked game design if players have to go through the hassle to repair a bad setting in the game every time they pick a new soldier.

don’t think so, it was my moral high ground, for the Woodsman, as i only used mine with engineers, and it was semi 
@ParaDivision
i agreed with OP for it to be changed, well i gave a like/heart
just because i say i am too stupid, to remember there is a auto mode, didn’t mean i dint want it,
