Differency is ~800-1000J
.303 has about same energy as modern 7.62 nato.
It really is full size / power rifle round, while arisaka as well is full size rifle round it has by far less energy.
stock dmg ? As 3* fedorov has 12.6
it is a rifle, and definitely shouldnt have less than avs that has stock 13 dmg & 3* 15 something.
Theres alot room to increase full auto rifles recoil.
I would much prefer the hyde bendix model. It looks better. But overall i think hyde is the way to go for allies. Is by far the most commented suggestion.
Yes the Ribeyrolls 1918 as well as the Burton model 1917 were also considered.
It’s true that the Ribeyrolls does fire intermediate cartridge and is capable of full-auto and semi-auto firing, however it had serious reliability issues and thus it was functionally not capable of sustained fire thus it’s development was terminated in 1921 which is why I picked the Hyde model 1944 instead which feels more authentic because it’s a WW2 design, though I do believe that the Ribeyrolls 1918 is unique enough to have space in the game at hands of a French squad once subfactions get an update.
On a side note for the people wondering why the Burton model 1917 was not chosen either is because it was designed as an AA machine gun and I felt like that an automatic rifle would be more authentic.
"Fair Assault rifles " is a lazy and bad idea.
Each faction has their own unique weapons, copy weapons will only ruin the characteristics of those faction.
And this thing is not even an AR. Lewis assault phase rifle will be better.
I actually did my best to make each assault rifle as unique as possible.
I played around with damage, fire rate and reload time as much as I could but there is a limit how strong or weak the weapons can be for BR5 hence the “fair” title.
All of the guns I suggested were real, it’s the sources are that are spotty.
In my honest opinion only Germany should have had ARs, but that ship sailed long ago.
They could add them as gold orders or event weapons/squad. Or probably the best let us to transfer up to 5 of them from the Soviets/Germany like we could with the campaigns just by paying bronze orders, now it could be just silver.
Im glad you asked, the Hyde 1944 does more damage, has faster reload and will probably have less recoil than the M2C, though M2C has far less dispersion than ARs so it wont get completely overshadowed.
still the 303. is far less powerful than other rounds used in WW2 rifles.
Arisaka in the center, 303. to the left and 30-06. Springfield to the right.
The 7,92x57mm Mauser is even more powerful.
Besides these Lee-Enfield rifles are converted guns, dont expect them to do the same magic anymore.
The Mosin-Nagant, SVT-38 and 40, AVS-36, DP-27 all fire the same 7.62×54mmR, but they all have different damage, dispersion and recoil. This is artifical balancing, a necessary bad.
damage needs overhaul, if automatic rifles do anymore damage than 10.5 even max upgraded than they will completely outperform actual ARs which is the last thing we want.
comparison
current AS-44 and Fedorov Avtomat:
Fedorov Avtomat: rate of fire: 600rpm base damage at 10m: 12.6 - at 100m: 9.8
Damage per second at 10m: 126 DPS - at 100m: 98 DPS
Reload time: 3.0 magazine size: 25
The Fedorov is clearly the better gun even though its unlocked earlier in the tech tree.
Absolute madness.
Dont tell me you seriously expect Fedorov to have rifle damage and dispersion, while also having AR recoil and ammo reserve. That would be exteremely over powered.
There is a lot of room to increase SF rifle recoil as well, it was attempted to balance automatic weapons that way but it didnt work and the change was reverted back.
Slightly more J than 30-30 or 30-06
Quite similar with 7.62x54R
Arguably only oddball is the 8mm mauser which has significantly more J.
And I dont really mind it.
Point being all of them currently has more dmg than suggested 10.5?
So I assume we’re speaking of nerfing all the current full auto rifles ?
Its soviet TT, kinda self-explanatory imo.
Im more surprised it doesnt shoot rockets.
