Am I the only one that likes the first pattern FG in semi auto more?

Well, it had hilariously high recoil in full auto. But since FG-42 II isn’t locked only to Berlin campaign. I have literally 0 reason to use classic FG-42.
FG-42 II is superior in performance and in how it sounds.

well i just tried the fg42 (since i dont have the 2 version) and the buff seem to make it way better, less recoil than the main game at the moment
again tho maybe it still worst than the fg42 2 version but it does feel upgraded

Same goes for FG-42 with GL.
didnt try that one yet but i will tomorrow
It was done as a change to be more historically accurate, and it also fixes the one-in-the-chamber bug the weapon had as well. It’s still super accurate and with high damage, but its rate of fire is about 100 lower than it was (if you account for the current/previous “burst” fire mode).
I mean, I’'m disappointed with the nerf personally since it was a super fun and unique gun to use as well as being overpowered, though most players never had and never could have it. Regardless though, it’s still extremely powerful and I intend to keep using it!

Nice mate! Thanks for the expert breakdown.
the higher damage didn’t really make a difference. It has been nerfed like 4 times in the past, but I honestly don’t understand why you people still think it is overpowered today.

I mean, MORE historical accuracy would indeed be welcomed - but then no more beating around the bush…
soooo many changes to be made

Oh, okay. For some reason I had it in my head that this referred to a carbine version of the G43, not a G43 in 8mm kurz, which I now remember reading about.
In my defense I am in a lot of physical pain the past few days.

HI Bro,change your mind,maybe the will add into veteran box.
I love the G43Kurz, and the 3 round burst was awesome as you could tap fire super quick and nail entire squads before reloading. It remains to be seen if its better actually in full auto but if its historically accurate I can forgive the nerf. Especially if the FG42’s are being fixed with the recoil reduction, that’s a fair compensation. Like GeneralBrus said above the FG42/II worked better for double tapping enemies in single shot because of the recoil, but if the recoil gets reduced then it will now be much better in full auto.
Some youtubers make too big of a deal about the FG42 starting on single shot instead of full auto. It really was not any kind of big deal to just switch to full auto using the fire selector key, its not a huge change so I don’t care that much but there are bigger problems like the fact people still desert games even though the devs have been so nice giving the players everything they want recently. The youtuber who was praising the FG42 starting on full auto is a notorious deserter who makes dozens of excuses for deserting games and tries to justify his desertions so thats just why I’m saying that.

The more common reason (I feel) was that AI do far better with fully automatic weapons. This is mainly a Buff to Squad AI or rather equalising it amongst nations

Well, I never questioned its performance. I just don’t like the fact they are deliberately changing a pretty significant characteristic for a weapon that has been unavailable for over 1.5 years.
Historical accuracy is a very weak argument. So why is Gorov LMG still classified as an SF rifle? It doesn’t even have a semi mode…
Should we expect another drastic change once it no longer will be available for purchase?
I really can’t tolerate them changing weapons that were primarily sold for premium currency so drastically.
It’s one big middle finger to all the players who spend premium currency on GO weapons. As they will never really know what they are buying.
I personally will stop spending premium currency on GO weapons after this change. It’s not the first time they’ve made a change like this. And I just won’t support it. It is disrespectful.

Well now that you mentioned it if the new Russian “pistol” suddenly turn into smg in the future that would be quite problematic for me.
But that also means conder mg might change into mg as well
