With the recent(ish) movement of some good semi auto rifles down to BR 3, I think it’s time to bring the G43 down as well.
The difference in reload speed between the G41 and it’s opposing semi-auto rifles (SVT-38, Garand, and Johnson) creates a noticeable gap between the functional power of the rifles in battle. I propose bringing the G43 down to fill that gap.
The G43 and SVT function more or less identically on the battlefields of Enlisted, despite the marginal statistic differences they do have, but the real issue here is the G41. That reload speed is awful, and the animation itself (although well done) makes it even worse.
Bringing the G43 down would not only bring a better balance between BR 3 semi-auto rifles, but finally let us see some of them out there. Don’t let it stay in BR 4 purgatory.
G43 EQUAL TO SVT
G41 worse then Johnson debatable
G43 superior to JOHNSON unquestionable
Give the US The. Johnson R detachable magazine and the zH29 TO JAPAN
And yes otherwise you are puting Allies-Us-UK at a disadvantage
Bringing the G41 down to 4 would change nothing. Also the functional difference between 12 and 12.7 damage is literally nothing. Both one shot non-vitality perk users and fail to one shot vitality.
The ZH is already there for Germany at BR 4, why keep the G43 there as well?
SVt-38 is magazine loaded, it shouldn’t be, but it is, so of course it’s faster.
The Lee-Enfields are 3.8, and the Type 4 is also exactly 4.0 seconds as well. I’m fine with the G41 being just average, I think that makes sense (the Enfields are more refined weapons), if anything the Johnsons speed should be increased (it’s lightning fast and just looks silly).
It would, it would be massive, almost a full second faster is not nothing, and with reload perks you can shove in a single 5 round clip in emergencies at a heartbeat. Being careful with ammo is a interesting tactical dilema, you have to do the same thing with other dual clip rifles, it’s just how the game plays.
Lower the MG 42 100, we already have other BR 5 MG options. No, mute point, won’t even engage with it.
The G43 fits in BR 4, as all magazine-fed semi-auto rifles should (again, SVT-38 should be clip fed). It’s awsome, and I prefer it to the ZH as a much more steady shooting rifle.
Johnson has almost identical stats compared to G43. Same damage, same ammo capacity. The only difference is the mediocre reload system of the Johnson (and even there the animation is so artificially sped up that it is not really an issue)
Garand has 2 less rounds but has a bayonnet. And tbh back in the normandy campaign both the G43 and garand were unlocked at the same time with pretty much identical performance and no one complained.
Now take a look at the G41, it has lower damage and much worse reload compared to either Johnson or garand.
Though I would rather have the G41 buffed rather than having the G43 downed.
Ok take my bayonet and give me two bullets, then make the Johnson one reload instead of two. If it’s and then ok if it’s instead no, and bayonet yes bayonet for two bullets per magazine no. Worse reload then garand ok 8 bullet magazine for g43 'and bayonet. As for g41 how much worse have use both if it’s worse it by 5 to15 percent worse reload.
A buff for G41 was already forwarded.
In my opinion literally every single BR3 semi-auto rifle are now stripper clip reloaded except for SVT-38 so devs should just make SVT-38 reload via stripper clips as well.
In exchange all BR3 semi-auto rifles get 15.3 damage (even Type 4 rifle since it fires full power 7.7mm rounds that are more powerful 303. so the damage nerf is non sense).
Ok make a g43 fed by two stripper clips then is an improvement over the 41 otherwise it’s br4 compared to us/UK or as stated above make the SVT stripper fed
Interresting cause the only two available BR4 semi-auto for the US/Uk are the Farquhar-Hill and the Winchester G30M have 19 and 20 round each in detachable magazines.
Though tbh my biggest complain is about how premium/event/GO (not only allied ones) BR4 semi auto are compared to the TT ones …
