The event paratrooper FG42 should see an increase of ammo from 20/40 to 20/80 like the premium paratrooper Krieghoff FG42, there is literally no reason to lower the ammo while it’s the same weapon type, this is just called pay 2 win.
At this moment 20/40 is really low and not fair at all compared to Allies paratrooper with the Vickers and the recent buff to 100/100 ammo or even Krieghoff paratrooper.
You get a fucking grenade launcher and 50/150 SMG-34s
Deal with it
A “fucking” useless grenade launcher you need to shot on the feet of someone to kill ? Almost everyone don’t even use this how it got nerfed to the ground.
When you received a AA optic for the Vickers because the old one wasn’t enough “comfortable” and 100 more ammo you are shutting your mouth but when it’s about Axis you are throwing your hate? Leave this thread and your biase elsewhere
The grenade launcher is only as good as the user, throw it in windows or chests
Git gud
Yeah a proper sight for the gun when the original was a straight plate with a hole in it. Now combine that with still spastic recoil and its useable as an MG
Cope I’ve finished both sides in all the campaigns other than Tunis and the Pacific
The grenade launcher is garbage currently and you know it, it doesn’t add a value at all lol, it was op in the past but not anymore.
The original sight was used by the infantry, play it with bipod and it become a laser gun, that’s how an MG is supposed to be played
Git gud
but like I said, it wasn’t enough comfortable for some crying players so they changed it.
And I finished them too, does it mean something? I don’t think
I still do alright with rifle grenades even with the nerf. I don’t expect them to be rifle launched frag grenades like the crutch it used to be so its more than adequate.
That’s not actually how the Vickers works though, it still has retarded recoil on the bipod so its only really useable as a tap fire from the hip or CQC bullet hose
The sight would have been absolutely unusable and such was pointed out before it even came out, the fact they had the AA sight ready to go shows they already thought of that on their own
It does matter since I do actively play both sides and wouldn’t want to ruin either one for the sake of the other
I do give objective suggestions even if I utterly despise German mains for their constant attempts to ruin playing that side
If you actually use your supply box it’s quite obvious what every reasonable player would choose:
FG 42 20/40 (+ 3 nade launchers)
MG 34 50/150
Vs
Vickers 100/100
Lanchester 32/296
What do you prefer? LMAO
Except bipods dont decrease recoil unless you are prone and dont improve accuracy stats.
In fact it sometimes makes dispersion worse for whatever reason
Iirc this was in SG, right?
Nah it happens here and there periodically
I think its genuinely a bug and they fix it when it crops up
You can tell bipod has no effect on accuracy by using the MG-13 Drum and Lewis btw
If there’s many enemies around It’s literally better to shoot them with your FG instead of the grenade launcher because of the low area of effect / damage, because you will miss opportunities of kills or even be killed, it’s not reliable.
I played them and I agree the Vickers have big recoil bipodless but it’s normal, you can’t have everything at the same time, this weapon already have a magazine of 100 ammo, a better rof than MG42 and a great sight, if it got his recoil buffed too what will be the negative point of this weapon? 
I’m sorry but when you are using your bipod with Vickers it become really accurate and you have almost no recoil.
I often read you’re post and I’m forced to say you aren’t objective all the time and you are giving negative feedback for almost every germut post.
For this I’m asking like many players did Friday, a buff of ammo to fit with the Krieghoff FG para, nothing incredible or gamebreaker. Not a omega buff of recoil or something other.
And if you want use a supply box you need to play mortar and you won’t get MG34 or you need to rely on someone on your team. And btw I don’t want play mortar just for a “supply box” so sorry but bad argument
The limited splash effect is semi-true. Its similar to some low- and mid-caliber HE shells such as the weirdo Semo. It is notably better if you hit a human body though for some reason but then you usually get better AOE range and dmg.
Again unless prone they don’t decrease recoil unless it got shadow fixed in the last week.
Yes, that it what guns are for
You can no longer simply rely on the crutch launchers like before
I’d suggest spamming frags if you can’t handle actually playing the game
T B H
I only want the bipoded recoil to be better, I’ve become accustomed to tap firing like other players have suggested.
That’s not true at all, it climbs just as hard as if you were standing
You misunderstand the intent
I hate the “people” that play Germany
I very much enjoy German gear and find it already satisfying to use
I am simply bashing German mains for the most part 
I’m not against giving it more ammunition, but the absolute landslide of BAAAAAAWWWWWW threads about it have caught my well of sympathy pretty dry considering its an utterly fantastic gun and your secondary’s are absolutely phenomenal
You can’t rely because they are not really reliable, simply. So I stay on my opinion, the grenade launcher isn’t a true valuable weapon atm, it was really op before I agree and they nerfed it to the ground and now they are almost useless. And no, I’m not an explosive player but we’re talking about the incredible secondary weapon of the FG.
You’re saying that but at the same time you came to this thread for saying arrogantly deal with it, the FG42 don’t need a ammo buff because we got a uber mega “absolutely phenomenal” grenade launcher while you got 200 ammo MG per soldiers 
While I wouldn’t mind one more spare… I can easily deal with 3 magazine total and even I must admit that 20/80 would be much…
Paras are already over encumbered. Aren’t those supposed to be light?
20/40 is on par with every other fg42 in Berlin and Normandy. Be glad it’s not 20/20 like it used to be for a long time!
What does this mean?
I can deal too with 3 magasine but you are forced to count each bullet or you will be empty REALLY fast
Yes paras are supposed to be light, that’s why they are equipped with 6 really light Vickers and 1 more big magazine
