You seriously need to rework the ROF of the FNAB-43 to what the gun was. Most searches I see rate the gun’s rate of fire between 600 and 837. I play a lot with both the Soviets and Germans, and I can honestly say that with the BP RPK1943 MG, along with the PP42, PPS43 and now the Uragan the Soviets are better across the board then the Germans in level two. The MG13 in my opinion “WAS” the best level two MG, but now I give that honor to the Soviet RPK, despite the irritatingly small 15 round mag you stuck it with. BTW, you sacked the FNAB with half the rate of fire as the Soviet smg’s, and gave it basically the same hitting power, so if you don’t want to give it’s correct rate of fire, then double the hitting power for Pete sake. 
Every Soviet SMG is going to shoot me twice for every round I can put into him.
So, do the right thing and move the FNAB’s rate of fire up to where it should be, somewhere between 600 and 837, which IMOP, 700 would be a decent number. Hell, even 600 would make it somewhat respectable, but it needs to be changed, and changed and left in level two…Here, I did the research for you…

And also obligatory Beretta M38/42 fix with tweaked rof/muzzle velocity and hopefully updated recoil stats as they are unrealistic and too high.

I mean its a joke at this point, inb4 its given its proper stats only to go up to BR3 with lower stats than the PPS 43

Nah, only such reliabable sorces as the one with the burst rifle fedorov can be trusted.
Also only USSR weapons can be buffed for HA reasons. Axis can only be nerfed. DF has to be consistant for one.

With 837 they can move it to BR IV or BR III
and in BR II finally give us Italian assaulter squad with Isotta Fraschini Mod. Albertini :
Will be nice counter to soviet op smgs and US got the Tompson so it will be very nice buff for BR II GE that is needed .

Nope it will stay at BR2 and we show middle finger to the Soviets as they have too many high rpm smgs anyway and Germany needs at least one that can shoot straight without getting gimped by obstructing mags or bad dmg per shot like MAS-38 (cmon buff it already). And your gun can also be added, would be better than crap we get in current BP.

Well mine has 32 round and 750 Rate of fire so its very comparable to USSR

Which could be a counter to Uragan smg
Historical and buffed M38/42 - counter to PPS-42
Tweaked rof FNAB-43 - counted to PPS-43
Isotta Fraschini - counter to Uragan

Yeah they will be very similar
I’d rather see MP40 dispersion buff.
Slow rate of fire SMGs that arent low BR always deserve to have good dispersion - PPS has basically the same dispersion as MP40, meaning if you can control its recoil you are better at all ranges.

That was also suggested multiple times. But we also needs smgs with higher rof.

Personally I would have preferred if BR1 and BR2 SMGs stayed weak, so that bolt actions had more of a reason to exists, but most 600 - 700 rpm SMGs are still excellent at 100 meters distance making bolt action gameplay difficult.
But I can also understand when people want to have decent auto guns right away - bolt action gameplay can be quite challenging and also boring for alot of players.

I wouldn’t mind it but we are way too far into the power creep so keep Germans on par with all other countries that have 700rpm+ or/and high damaging smgs.

Fnab and mab 38 used the same magazines (and we got both 20 & 40 rounds ones in game). They could simply change the current fnab to use 20 rounds magazine model and then implement the 40 rounds variant in lets says, BR 4.

how about no? 40 round 700 rpm and BR2 no other way around it with current meta

This I really wanna see, even just for the sake of weapon variety
I just want the weapons as historically accurate as possible, which if Dark Force had made that a priority, then people like myself and others wouldn’t have to bitch about buffing weapons. Dark Force brings this on themselves for either A: Intentionally over or under buffing a weapon, or B: Not doing their homework before they place guns into a game.
I complain about a lot of the things DF does, but I don’t usually complain about the weapons stats, like buff this and de buff that. I only do that when it is pretty obvious DF dropped the ball and needs to correct it. There are other guns I like, but hate the statistics on it, however, after researching found that they were pretty accurate, so, I can’t fault DF for that, I fault the gun manufacturer.

A gun… in tier 2 so new players can get access to a gun that’s br4 off the bat
Give MP40 same dispersion with PPSh41(box), that insane accuracy.
Isn’t that what the Soviets already have in level two smg’s, tier four performance in the PPS-43 and Uragan? So, I assume that you’re calling for the PPS43 and the Uragan to be moved up to tier 4?
If it were up to me, I would mirror the rate of fire of the FNAB to that of the PPS-42, which would start off at 600 and max at 690, that would make them both pretty much a one for one match. However, even if DF decided to up the rate of the FNAB to that of the PPS-43 or Uragan (which was in the research range of actuality), the PPS-43 and Uragan have already set the bar for level two performance standards. I know Dregomz is talking about a different smg, but if DF is off on them statistically, they should be changed, and if they are still within the same range as the PPS and Uragan, they should still be level two IMOP. But my main focus is the FNAB.
Dark Force probably should have capped the level two ROF to say, 700 or below, but the FNAB currently should be a level one smg with it’s performance, but would be a great level two smg if DF would accurately tune it.
This is the PPS42 Red, which is basically a maxed out PPS42 and my maxed out FNAB, which should at least be carrying the same 69 ROF at the very least. I used the Red since it was the only maxed PPS-42 I have left on my roster as I sold off the rest to fill out my squads with the Uragan.
