Increase semi-auto damage to 17~18 and re-adjust base damage by caliber

Been asking for that for forever

I’ve seen other posts on the caliber issue but they seriously need to fix the damage of semi-autos especially when the BR match-up is quite unbalanced.

I agree. Currently, semi-auto and full-auto rifles with 15.3–15.8 damage should have their damage raised to around 16.8–17.3. Those with 13.9–14.4 damage could be increased to around 14.4–15.3. With this adjustment, and based on the damage drop-off curve, rifles in the 15.3–15.8 range should be able to reliably down or even one-shot enemies at around 100 meters. Meanwhile, semi-auto rifles in the 13.9–14.4 range could see their effective kill range increase from the current 20–40 meters to roughly 70 meters.**
This way, these rifles would achieve bolt-action-like performance at close to mid-range. But at longer distances — say 110–130 meters — their damage would still fall short compared to bolt-action rifles, especially bolt-action sniper rifles, which would continue to have a suppressive advantage over automatics.

especially when it comes to semi-autos that normally have 5 to 10 rounds in the magazine but it usually takes 2 to 3 shots to kill some enemies at a distance, even more so against the Soviets that have damage reduction.
