I have to resort to making comic memes in order to get my point across. If you implement the LMG and AT stamina drain mechanic from Stalingrad, you are going to piss off many people.
YOU WILL ALSO PISS OFF PAYING CUSTOMERS WHO P.A.I.D FOR PREMIUM LMG SQUADS.
So the game should stay in one place and not evolve at all because there is always someone pissed about the changes?
Stamina drain for heavy weapons is good and resonable mechanic. All they need to do is polish bipod mechanics before releasing it to older campaigns.
And of course that things like Sturmpistole, BARs etc. shouldnât be affected. But MGs, M1919, AT rifles etc - definetely. Those are not things to run nad gun with.
If you piss off your paying customers when a lot of the premium bundles are LMG base, it is going to hurt profit margins.
I think about these things from a company position - and with a direct port with no changes to reflect each weapon type weight for inertia based aiming - doing this decision would kill a lot of the money trail.
Imagine selling the Colt Monitor then a month later nerfing it to hell because of this âbetter ideaâ.
First I wouldnât call this mechanic a nerf. LMGs are still beasts and the only thing that changed is the way you need to use them to see their potential.
Lots of those bundles are BAR variants that, like I said shouldnât be affected because technically itâs not a LMG. For example many other mechanics like slower aiming amd higher dispersion when moving donât affect them. Do it is safe to assuse that they will be treated as lighter weapons.
As Keofox said before the update launched - they are trying to find a nieche for every type of weapon. Before stamina drain LMGs were just oversized SMGs with extra recoil (and even before they were literal assault rifles). Now they provide different playstyle, with different mechanics etc. Just because some people for too used to primitive run and gun gameplay the game shouldnât be stopped from evolving (especially when it starts to break the meta a bit)
cuck argument. betas arenât meant for this. we canât just excuse every mistake and bad faith move from the devs by saying âits just a betaâ. thatâs what they want
Still doesnt change the fact that a beta means that there are possibilites that the devs make changes of the mechanics.
And its not that bad anyway. Just use %100 stamina perk and thats it.
Damn, axis in Moscow will be truly dead after this absurd mechanic is introduced, basically the only decent gun until mkb/kiraly is mg34, and it will become useless
exactly, this is my problem. axis strength for most players comes from early - mid level MG unlocks. This is a nerf, be it disguised or unintentional, to axis. Yet again. It keeps happening.
because to use MGs correctly now you have to rely on a poorly implemented and broken mounting feature. i wouldnât have an issue with it if mounting worked
