good we got that figured out.
semi auto/auto rifles are not very effective as snipers anymore. just take of the scope, switch to full auto, and go rambo style with the fg 42 II
its a crazy good gun mid to close range
ok thank you

every player should. Even the ones who don’t think it’s OP don’t think it’s useless
It’s an automatic rifle with a scope. The game’s dispersion mechanics might be nonsense, but autos are going to be less accurate than semi-autos are going to be less accurate than bolt guns. If you want long range accurate sniper fire, use the bolt gun.
Yes but semi auto on first shot should hit. I don’t say anything against when you shot multiple times and miss.
Eh, that’s not how the in game mechanics work, or how real weapons work (cold bore is a thing), and depends on how well you’re aiming. I’d like to see dispersion for select-fire rifles be less in semi-auto than in full auto, dunno if that’s already a thing. Also, I didn’t notice until after I’d posted my reply that the others had already gotten you through the issue, no disrespect or hostility was intended.
It’s defenity my aim when an enemy walks towards me an d I hit on the body. Dismounted my scope and use Gewehr 43 Sniper as Sniper far better.
FG 42 is still good, it’s just total garbage for anything past 50 meters.
I still run entire squads with it for the simple fact that most engagements happen under 50 meters, you’re rarely at distances where that dispersion genuinely becomes a problem.

I have a squad with FG42s in Normandy and I don’t see a problem on the gun itself other than actually a killing machine.

Glossing over how that response to the post you’re replying to doesn’t make sense…
Is he handing you a garand clip, or is it just… floating out of the gun through his hand?

I have a feeling that OP is focused on the FG42 II sniper rifle. Can’t outfit an entire squad with sniper rifles I could be wrong, but yeah, the FG42 rifle is a great weapon. Not sure if I’m alone in this but when I outfit a sniper with the FG42 II, I 1st remove the scope and use him as a rifleman.

Yeah, the FG42 is a great weapon, and it wouldn’t be OP if it were limited to gunners. Being able to put them on snipers too just exacerbates the spam problem. I can’t deny, it looks fun, and I understand why axis players do it, but it’s damned annoying to fight against a guy who’s stacked his teams with FGs.

there almost impossible to defeat
FG42 spammers in Berlin can be fought with PPSh as Soviets but Normandy is a different story since the Allies don’t have something other than the Thompsons and the M2 Carbines that were limited by the magazine capacity.

Yeah, the soviet arsenal in berlin has plenty of answers for the FG42, but you’re right, Allies Normandy just … doesn’t. It outranges the Thompson and has lower TTK, it outranges the M2 with a faster TTK and significantly better recoil. Our closet competition for it is the BAR, and we can’t throw enough of those at the wall to make them stick.
