Axis are winning more often but it´s not due to the FG42s let me tell you that much. Not even the StGs or Tiger IIs for that matter. Every other faction just has worse players on average for some reason. I don´t think I´ve ever seen an FG42 or StG in the killfeed after the merge. Apart from mine of course.

Now go back to the main point of this thread on buffing FG42, and no they are fine as it is. It’s pure player skill issue just like what you saying.
OK that’s just an insult to the FG42 sniper the thing can’t be called a sniper
If you are still on about that, go ahead and nerf avs36, but fg42 doesn’t need a buff.

Good.
It’s useless if you’re trying to Snipe at 100 to 200 meters
Nerf Avs36, which we already talk about, Use gewer43 sniper, at least that’s balance against the only semi auto m1c sniper western allie have.

No it´s not? You can´t use a sniper rifle as a sniper rifle. You´re litteraly better off removing the scope and using it as a normal FG42 so at that point why even bother with it? Nerf AVS, buff FG42 whatever I don´t care but something has to be done since the scoped FG42 has been like this for years at this point.

The thing about buffing sniper fg is that western allie will not have a counter to 20 round semi auto sniper. It is a better option to nerf avs36. If you want to use sniper, use bolt or Gewr 43 sniper, they are more balance choice against the only semi auto sniper M1C the western allie have out there.
But it´s already in the game and has 20 round mags? Are you hinting at the gun being so shit as a sniper rifle that people don´t use it? Does that really sound like a good design desision to you? I mean they could replace the 20 round mags with 10 round mags but then it´s just a minor improvement of the sniper G43.
It´s not about what I want to use (I always use bolt action snipers no matter the faction). It´s about a weapon that doesn´t perform as it should and does so much worse than it´s counterparts. Buffing it isn´t gonna make Axis perform that much better.
I believe I already forwarded the dispersion issue for the sniper version, but for the normal versions it’s unnecessary

So your argument is one more buff for an already buff up faction with an already high win rate won’t change anything.
One of them. Altough it´s less that Germany has really strong equipment and more that everyone else just sucks more on average. I play BR5 germany and my team always runs around with BR3 and 4 stuff with the occasional Tiger 2. I haven´t seen someone use FG42s for a while now so I´m not sure why you have sucha hate boner for it. Back before it´s nerfs it was everywhere but not now.
BR5 should be within it´s seperate matchmaking anyway. Same with BR1&2 and BR3&4.

Fair, but FGs shows up fairly common in sweaty T5 games if sweats decide to jump on, since it is the best German select fire undeniably, and one of the suggestion by the thread was buffing normal FG dispersion to 0.07, that’s even lower than semi autos dispersion and something very much unreasonable, unless they are buffing semi autos too and their fire rate. I guess I can kind of settle with sniper FG dispersion improve, I just hope western allie get a proper DMR counter that has more than 10 rounds like the soviet and German does.
I´ve yet to have actual sweats in my BR5 german teams wich is weird since BR1-3 have been way sweatier in general from my experience.
They could just buff the reload speed since it´s really slow for some reason. Maybe the ADS time too but I don´t see DMRs as that important of a weapon class in the first place. If someone uses the sniper class it´s usually to sit around somewhere and be useless to the team.
Lmao “suffaing” wirh FG42. I can’t from such beerskill

Snipers are sometimes the only players that defend the zone from being captured by the enemy, eliminating the infantry in the zone and on the way to it.
