Charlton Automatic Rifle - decrease the recoil & reload

[GetOut0fMyWay]

Compared with other MGs, the event Charlton Automatic Rifle has the worst recoil of all BR II MGs (with great clarity) and additional extremly long reload.
So I really would enjoy a little bit better weapon handling (less recoil) and less reload.

I compared the Charlton Automatic Rifle with the following MGs on BR II: MG 13, Breda Mod. 30, Madsen, LMG Typ 79, M1922 Hotchkiss, Bren MK II

I used the top of the sandbag as marker for all the MGs and without recoil control

result of the Charlton Automatic Rifle: over the second zeppelin

result of the MG 13: under the first zeppelin - less then double recoil compared to the Charlton Automatic Rifle

result of the Breda Mod. 30: a little bit over the first zeppelin - nevertheless significantly less recoil then the Charlton Automatic Rifle

result of the Madsen: under the first zeppelin - ≈ 3 times less recoil then the Charlton Automatic Rifle

result of the LMG Typ 97: also under the first zeppelin - more then 3 times less recoil then the Charlton Automatic Rifle (I know only 20 rounds)

result of the M1922 Hotchkiss: a little bit over the first zeppelin - significantly less recoil then the Charlton Automatic Rifle

result of the Bren MK II: a bit over the first zeppelin (but not even the half between the first and 2nd zeppelin) - significantly less recoil then the Charlton Automatic Rifle

comparison of the MGs on BR II:

Summary:
The extremely and significantly higher recoil compared to other machine guns, as well as the significantly longer reload time of 2-2.6 seconds, make this machine difficult to play. Therefore, I would like if you would check the Charlton Automatic Rifle and reduce the recoil and reload time.

It’s extremely inaccurate, it’s the worst BR2 MG in the game despite having such low rof. You wouldn’t believe how disappointed i was by getting this cool lmg event squad from one of the boxes to see they are just unplayable.

@Dregomz

You wouldn’t believe how disappointed

I wanted to have that squad under each circumstances from the lootboxes. After I got it + tested it, I was also extremly disappointed. Now, I took it again in my setup and decided to make a suggestion with reasonable arguments (at least I think so) and hope that this will be forwarded to the DEVs

I wouldn’t mind it’s questionable performance if the reload wasn’t so shit, that’s the main thing holding it back imo

Yes，before madsen recoil being changed，it also has a worse recoil than madsen.

I bought four of the RPK1943’s so I have not used the Madsen in quite some time. The only Madsen I have is on an APC that I rarely use, however used it the other day and the Madsen is quite a bit better then it was when it was my main Soviet level two MG. I still prefer the RPK, but will use the APC more since the Madsen is better.
