So, we have the FG 42 and AVS-36 in the game. For the game purposes let’s call them battle rifles (yes, I know that the FG 42 is hard to define, but I wanted to keep it simple here).
But here’s the issue:
They both have pretty big dispersion values:
0.28 for the AVS-36
0.42 for the FG 42
But their sniper variants are different - AVS has dispersion similar to self loading sniper rifles while the FG has the same dispersion as the non-sniper variant:
0.05 for the AVS-36
0.42 for the FG 42
So how about we equalize that (in either way, doesn’t matter for me which one)?
Russian bias, simply look at ppd38(20rd) it can be compared with the thompson m21/28, russian equipment in enlisted is always better,stronger,faster than other nation one
Nah, not always - FG 42 just beats every Soviet weapon except of the AS-44 (about which I’ll write in a minute). Soviets just had really good SMGs (Suomi should be better than the PPSh-41 though - should have less recoil).
I haven’t tried Fedorov so I can believe that, but the FG 42 (we’re talking about the Type III, n/A or however it’s called, the wooden stock variant) has way less recoil than both the AVT-40 and AVS-36.
FG-42/2 is slightly stronger than AVT(but AVT has bayonet), while FG42/1 is not as strong as AVT but is much stronger than AVS (not sniper version).
A player in Berlin whose both sides are above level 33 said.
Another question btw, when did they change it? Because last time I’ve picked up the AVS or AVT, it felt way more “jumpy” than the FG. So was it the patch when they increased the recoil across all campaigns?
Yeah, I would say the way to balance this would simply be giving the sniper variants of select fire weapons better accuracy then their non scoped counterparts, but make sure that they don’t kill in one shot like the semi auto variants.
That way you would have:
Boltaction always one hit kill
Semi auto 1 hit kill only up close and 2 hit kills against 35HP perk at longer ranges
Select fire 3 hit kill against 35 HP perk at longer ranges
I want to say tho, that the FG42 Sniper variant used to be completely OP, because you had the accuracy of a K98 combined with one hit kills and a fast reload magazine, I used to play mainly sniper in Normandy back in the day, and I could get more kills with the FG42 than with a grey zone camping tank sniping the beaches.
Changing damage based on weapon class and not caliber is one of the things that sets this game apart from BF or CoD, making this aspect of Enlisted more arcade would’d be a good thing
