Increasing the fire rate of Fnab-43 (+50/100)

Currently at BR II, with 400 fire rate. This weapon was capable of upwards of 600 to 800 rate of fire for its real life counterpart.

My proposition is to increase its rate of fire by an additional 100. So it would bring the total fire rate to 500. This would put it more in line with the fire rates of the Owen MK I And the PPS-42 without letting it be overly broken. It has the same damage as the Owen MK I with 300 less fire rate, and 200 less fire rate than the PPS-42 and 0.1 extra damage, 300 less fire rate then the PPS 43 with a extra 0.1 rate of fire. This is why I feel 500 would be a good middle ground.

450 would be a second middle ground if 500 is deemed to much.

Doesn’t make any sense, just play beretta M1 instead.

They should keep Fnab unique low rof. Or just give it historical one.
But to change it to dull ±500 rof which literally majority of low BR German Smgs has is lame.

I think they should put it in 800 and then place it in tier 3. It would be good counter to ppsh 41 box

All guns should have their irl rates of fire period.
Tanks and planes are quite accurate so why guns are a mishmash?

If it were possible to do this while still keeping it “balanced” I’d be all for increasing it to its maximum rate of fire. I’m sure there’ll be a lot of people complaining that it gained double its rate of fire out of nowhere.

Well, it’s possible. With change of its rof to historical parameters, they should increase its BR as well.

It’s not like it needs to stay at BR2 at all cost. There’s so many of BR2 German Smgs anyway.

But they definitely not change its rof to 500. Literally robbing the gun of its uniqueness.
I actually like the slow rof.
If you do care about minmaxing, literally nobody is forcing you to play Fnab. You can play Beretta M1 instead.
It literally has 40 rounds, same dmg and 570 rof. That’s literally what you wanted.
There’s no need for Fnab to be just reskinned beretta.

you’re all talking about commas, but do you have eyes!!! I mean how the heck do you play a game like that??? it seems to have become a cartoon and I don’t see a post at this point ask the developers if they can make you a night vision device crazy things this game has become superfluous you’re arguing about nothing

Agree axis should get something very unique, all the SMG are almost identical each other except rare case

Then perhaps raising it to BR III And it having the 800 rate of fire would be the better way to go. This way it can perform closer to It’s real life counterpart.

FNAB-43 could be moved all the way to BR4 with quick reload and 800 rpm.
BR4 Axis is terribly empty at the moment anyway, because all but 1 gun were all brought down with a BR.

The question is, will Darkflow be willing to move a gun unlocked so early to BR4 because many people already own it.

It depends on what the people want the game to be, accurate or fictional. I’ve said this before, but I would prefer that ALL weapons be as accurate as can be towards the real WW2 weapon. And when I say accurate, I am talking about the each weapon’s most common and most used weapon, not an experimental version of that weapon. So for example, if the most commonly used MP 40 shot 550 rof, then that is what the fully maxed MP 40 should shoot. If the FNAB shot 800 rof, then that is what the maxed weapons should be. IMOP, the fully maxed out gun you end up with after all your upgrades should reflect the actual performance of the real battlefield weapon. Of course, I’m old and prefer historical accuracy, many of you might not. But you know in the end, if the game actually made every weapon historically accurate, people really couldn’t complain so much about the weapon itself because it is what it is, but they would still be here complaining about what level it should be. :blush:

Imo upgrade shouldn’t touch the Rof, the fire rate should be that one, and the upgrade should touch just recoil, reload and dispersion

That acctualy I petty good idea …

But I also like it as a meme gun on BRII

Yeah, there are other things they can use during upgrades then ROF, I would just like to see them all historically accurate.

They could just as well put the BR4 Beretta into BR3, and put the 800 rpm + upgrade FNab into BR4 as a close range alternative to the then hopefully BR4 MKB.

Also while speaking about it, is the BR4 Beretta rate of fire even fitting?

Imo barretta rof is pretty good damage a little low tho

Italians used a special 9mm bullet with more pressure to increase their effective range, since they were fighting in the desert.

Is this even considered? Im genuinely asking about the performance of that gun, since many sources claim it was one of the most quality and controllable SMGs of WW2. Maybe putting it into BR3 instead of buffing it could be a mistake.

the 600 rpm is correct for the Beretta 38A, but the damage is low for that, it does make up in range, nice recoil and big magazin but its heavily outclassed in terms of DPS.
IMO its good enough for BR4, it would be a little OP on BR3 but not crazy OP or broken like stick ppsh41.
The real solution is giving other SMGs and weaker ARs to Germany on BR4.
