I will only tell you about the relevant and interesting ones for me.
First, the positive changes:
RD-44. I fully support it, after the multiple strengthening of the Axis machine guns, the RD-44 urgently needed an improvement and now we finally got it.
Fedorov’s Avtomat. Also a long-awaited increase in damage, we finally got rid of another vestige of the old balance. I understand that during the Battle of Moscow campaign, when the Fedorov’s Avtomat was opposed only by the MKb42, it needed to be worsened in characteristics, and even so it was an outright imba. But in the current reality, the Fedorov’s Avtomat was weak and could not withstand any competition, neither against assault rifles, nor even more so against automatic rifles. Now the weapon has regained its uniqueness and relevance.
AVT/ABC. More convenient shooting is good, but it still does not compensate for the difference in DPS with the FG 42-2.
Madsen. Improved recoil, you can finally try playing with a machine gun for the USSR.
AT-44. Another triumph of historicity. Now it is one of the best assault rifles, but it is not much superior to its competitors. Auto rifles are still meta in this game.
Fedorov machine gun. Objectively, it was the worst machine gun in BR5. Now it is an average machine gun in BR4. Not bad either.
Ju 188 A-2. Rightfully raised to BR5. Before the separate bomb release, it was still possible to hold discussions. But now, firmly and clearly BR5 without “BUT”.
Beretta M38A (40 rounds). Fair reduction of BR to 3. At BR4, frankly speaking, none of the German SMGs pulled it off.
Beretta M38/42. The only drawback is the overabundance of such weapons in BR2 among the Germans. Perhaps it is worth considering improving the characteristics of some SMGs and raising the BR.
Pz.III N. One could say that it is a long-awaited change, I would not change its shells, but it will do. Perhaps the tank has become even stronger with the new HEAT shells. Therefore, in the future, it is worth cutting the rate of fire of all 75mm high-explosive shells.
FG 42 with a grenade launcher. They gave me ammo. It is very nice, before that, playing for this landing force caused only discomfort.
*ERMA EMP 44. VMP 1926. Suomi KP-26. Rare and unique submachine guns have finally taken their rightful place. You can blow the dust off them and try to play.
STG 45 (M). The worst assault rifle in the game combined with the worst squad. Transferring to BR4 will not change either one. The rate of fire is only 450 rounds per minute, which is only 50 more than the MKb 35/III with BR2
Browning M1919A6. They slightly increased the running speed, a small thing, but nice.
M10 GMC. They made BR3. We’ll see, but such tanks are not in demand in our game.
M1A1 Thompson. At BR2 will be a great alternative to Lanchesters. Despite the high damage at 8.2 - it’s still a Thompson with a bunch of drawbacks and a slow bullet. At BR3 it has nothing to do.
Rifle type Otsu. It was a very strange weapon at BR3. Now it’s an equally strange weapon at BR2. Perhaps it will be too strong at this BR.
PP type 1 (1930) and PP type 1. Finally, we waited. Even for BR2 weapons they are far from the best, at BR3 - they were just trash. You can unpack Japanese paratroopers who lost their plane and parachutes.
And now it’s time to throw in a fly in the ointment:
Kiraly 39M. Literally one of the best SMGs in BR5, suddenly moved to BR4. For what merits? I don’t see any reason to do this, unless they are moving all the SMGs from BR5 to BR4, but they didn’t do that.
PPSh-45. And why did they lower its BR? It’s not much worse than the regular PPSh, but you didn’t touch it. And why did they skip the MP-717(r) then? So many questions.
Pz.IV H. maybe it was lost against the Panthers at BR4, but for BR3 it is a very strong tank and all other tanks will be lost against it.
M1928A1 Thompson 50. Thanks for reducing the recoil, but it is literally the worst SMG at BR5. And it is still at BR5. Why?
Addition:
PPD-1929 did not receive any improvements, only a bad sight, although the weapon is extremely mediocre due to the small number of rounds and a very long reload. It would also be improved.
I also did not see BAR 1918 in the list, compared to its brothers it is simply not needed, and on BR2 it will not stand out much among competitors.
In general, there are a lot of positive changes, I want to see more of this. Thank you for your attention.
ps
Sorry for the mistakes in the text.
Because of the shields on the sides and the turret drives? Are you crazy? It is almost no different from the J, and its “strength” is due to the fact that it could be suitable for playing at BR 4-5. After the update, playing at BR 3 max, the best tanks will be the Churchill and KV-1. No matter how much you want to convince yourself that the PZ.4 is the ruler of worlds and conqueror of planets thanks to the gun, but it is almost like the M10 only with a roof.
STG 45 should be NO HIGHER then a level three, although there is supporting cause to drop it to level two. There is also NO REASON to keep the MP35 at level three. It is almost exactly like the level two shorter barrel MP35 event gun, which is perfect at level two. So, drop the level three MG35 to level two because I can’t think of any reason to use it over the ZK383.
You have opposites on opposites in one sentence. Here is Thomson with 8.2 damage and good rate of fire at BR 2, that’s normal.
But the same rifle, which is from Type Hey, ONLY WITH RATE OF FIRE. That’s OVER, the end of balance. Come on, brother, don’t give in so much with your bias towards one side of the factions, better explain for the balance of “Uragan”, who will outshoot it at BR 2.
Just a machine gun without debuffs to running and without wild dispersal. That’s all! Doesn’t really stand out.
Of course, it’s possible, but it needs to be nerfed.
That’s not a great change, it’s very bad change as they just killed all premium/event/gold order Thompsons with smaller mag size, they had same dmg and even worse recoil as that Thompson, only rof is different which actually hurts those small mags.
Ofc Germany suffers again as their guns are all trash with only exception of Suomi but if you don’t own 4 of them then no point in playing as BR2 GER as your guns are all trash.
I apologize. You can of course read the same thing on the Ru forum and understand that I didn’t mean that. Well, yes, I made a mistake. I meant only German BR3 tanks, not all tanks. Again, I’m not against transferring it to BR3.
maths isnt your forte I see.
12.6x1,1= 13.9
A soldier has 20 HP, 10 “normal” and 10 more in downed state.
The 10 “normal” can be increased with vitality, 135% of 10 is 13,5
13,5 HP is less than 13.9 damage
The whole Fedorov suffer thing is such BS, MP43/1 is also outshined by StG44 and its copy the AS-44, but MP43/1 isnt getting a nonesense damage buff to make it better than StG44.
It also has better stats than Avtomat
