Current weapon balance is AWFUL, please revert these crimes against fun, heres what the devs should have done

Yeh devs stop being cringe pls. since the game hasn’t been fun ever since the weapon balance changes.
Not as cringe as heroes and generals weapon balance but its sure not where it should be.
-revert bolt action rifles to pre patch fire rates

-revert semi auto rifles to pre patch fire rates

-make SMGs and pistols hit a bit harder(where they kill people in 3-4 shots but have terrible ballistics at ranges beyond 30-50 meters)

-Make the M1 carbine do as much damage as a 357 magnum revolver would(so thats more damage than a pistol/SMG but less damage than an intermediate cartriage or rifle round) the truth is the M1 carbine should not be compared to other rifles of WW2 but pistols and other pistol carbines/SMGs.

-Make shotguns more like their real life counterparts, able to effectively kill out to 80 meters with buckshot and have a tight spread(buckshot spread stays about as big as a golf ball up to 50 meters if I am correct and then spreads out over distance but video games comically make this like a cartoon)
-LMGs are fine, just improve the bipod/mounting mechanics

-Anti tank rifles/anti armor rifles should have bigger sight pictures to allow for more accurate shots to be placed on enemy armor, as they rely on hitting enemy tonks in the right spots to be effective

-Anti tank rocket launchers should have better rocket speeds(last time I remember the panzerfaust had a laughably slow and arcade flight speed)

-Rifles like the STG I can’t really say due to how Im almost never on the reciving end or never end up using them. but keep them as they are.

-mortars and arty are fine keep them like that, maybe add an incendiary barrage option or different types of barrage patterns to make things more interesting. (Example being delaying action, focused fire, straight line, random spread, ETC)

In the words of our lord and savior
“Terminal ballistics, pistols put holes in people, rifles put holes through people, shotguns at the right range with the right load will pyschically remove a chunk of **** off your opponent and throw that **** on the floor” -Clint

I honestly DON’T understand why the devs would nerf bolt guns or semi auto rifles. LIKE WHY NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS NOBODY WANTED THIS! Everything was fine prior to these weird questionable weapon balance changes! It made me quit the game for 2 months if not longer becuase I could not handle it. Im not sure what direction you are taking this game in with these but STOP!

did they even change RoF of BA?

maybe. buff it a little bit would be fine.

they already did. most smg deal 5-6 damages in 10 m. (for center body shot) That’s equal to 2 shots to down enemy (or kill if enemy dont have medpack) and 4 shots to kill enemy.

They already did. M1 carbine deals 7.3 damages. More damage than SMG but less damage than intermediate cartridge (7.92 kurz deals 8)

agree, they should revert the nerf for shotgun. It’s close to useless even at close range

giga cringe

shotguns were effective at one point but people cried on the forums until they were nerfed into oblivion.

but when fully upgraded it has less damage than grease guns at 8 max for the carbines, and 8.2 for .45acp

yeah, that’s rough. they didn’t get the +20% damage bonus :frowning:

It feels like dev put some number and spin the wheel when deciding bonus damage a weapon get for last upgrade :v

they also got rid of the 15% ROF instead of giving it to M2, m1c nades and VG1-5

did they? i actually tried to look into this once and found absolutely zero people complaining about it, unless it was on the ruski side

Shotguns that kill out to 80m??? 50 meter spread??? I do competitive skeet shooting, and believe me, anything past 30 meters with a buckshot is down to luck.

Yore more likely to die from a heart attack than from a pellet at 80m

Nope is only a bug of the stats

Shotguns have an effective range of about 35 m (38 yd) with buckshot, 45 m (49 yd) with birdshot, 100 m (110 yd) with slugs, and well over 150 m (160 yd) with saboted slugs in rifled barrels.[3][4][5]
