after a long time I played a Normandy Campain again and was appalled by the accuracy of the FG 42 Sniper rifle. My guns are fully upgraded and the accuracy is subterranean. You guys have completely screwed up this gun. It is even worse than the FG 42 without scope even at medium range.
If you want to leave this weapon at this status. Gladly! But I will not recommend anyone to invest time for the preservation of this weapon or even worse to buy gold and spend money on it.
The German faction cannot use such a piece of junk. Before you bring a weapon in such a shitty condition it would be better to delete it completely!
In any case, this is not a case of balancing the game. This is just shit!
To all German soldiers. The OKW has authorized the use of FG 42 Snipers as tent poles for your bot camps.
speaking of fg42, I did not find it very different from the g43 if upgraded, it is a really good weapon but it is widely overrated, when there will be the rework of the weapon upgrade system, I do not think anyone will complain more than the fg42 is op, when they will do the same things they do with the fg42 with their enhanced svt/g43 or garand
Fired in semi auto while prone, braced and with held breath at same distance (60m). Point of aim is always center of head. Breathing in and out between each shot.
The sniper version is as accurate as the rifleman version. But the scope makes the dispersion more obvious.

if you had read what I wrote, I was not talking about the weapon but about the fact that once the wapons upgrade rework will be implementend, no one would have said that fg42 op, given the fact that the other upgraded semi-automatics are lethal as her, regarding the fg42 II the recoil is only accentuated by the scope, but the weapon itself is excellent
The FG42II is possibly the best all-around rifle because it performs very well in all roles, it just fails to be the most accurate sniper rifle, but its other perks are well worth the trade-off.
The FG42 II is inaccurate especially at long range, like on D-Day if you try to snipe the beach from the hills. A Kar 98 outperforms the FG42 II always in such cases.
On medium to short range the FG42 II is better, as the accuracy is good enough for that range and the fire rate is much much higher with four times the bullets in its magazine.
yes it is, you can see that the fg42 have a lower dispersion compared with the other semi-automatic weapons, which I don’t understand since it seems that every semi-automatic rifle has the same level of dispersion which is reduced close to 0 with the upgrades, only fg42 does not follow this rule
It would also help if we knew how the dispersion mechanic actually worked since it might be a way to stop spam of semi automatic at a distances. Though the only times I’ve missed with fg42s, not fully upgraded, was because I misread the sights
Agree,it would help to have it in the statistics to know at many meters the shot starts to deflect, to know the effective range of use of a weapon, consecutive shots from distance can also be made with the g43/svt/garand, firing slowly, the only semi-automatics where i can’t get them are avs36 and the zk-29, maybe because they are hybrids (high base dispersion because of the automatic mode maybe)
