The automatic rifles of other camps have 20 or 30 rounds, only the Soviet Union has 15 rounds.

AVT-40s were tested with 15, 20 and 25 round magazines.
Even the Bubnov drum that already in the game can hold 20 rounds.
Why it has 15 rounds? Well AVS-36 was added first and like Heroes and Generals used to, AVS-36 also has 15 round magazine, than AVT-40 was added with the same magazine for balance reasons. It worked well until balance was thrown off by T20 and Type hei automatic.
20 round magazine for AVT-40 is must now, but 25 is definitely not a good idea since all SF rifles have 20/40 rounds by default except Type hei a. with 30/30 ammunition.
That is a total of 60 in all cases, 25 round magazines canāt be totalled up to 60 rounds.

No I disagree, maybe as a gold order weapon but not in the TT for one specific reason, balance.
Soviet already has very powerfull LMG, assault rifle and SMG. This gets balanced out by Soviets having the weakest select-fire rifles of all factions. With the Japs having the best, the Germans having the most all around rifle with the FG and the Americans having some nice options to.
Germans main (incorectly) nag about balance and soviet bias. They dont see that the Sovjets lag in some inportant ways, like tanks and select-fire rifles. To then give sovjets stronger select fire rifles would in my opinion be kinda unfair (and would make the Soviet bias nagging even worse ā¦).
I do recognize that 5 bullits is not that much, but it would be a 1/3 increase.
And just like fedorov and AS are only slightly better than StG, so to should the FG be slightly better than AVS or AVT
Yeah sure, I take a AVT and body armor every day over a FG that doesnāt down in one shot.

Balance Will break if is added in TT so the Best option is like a gold weapon
When they finally buff the Germans FG 42 weapon family Iām all for a 20 Round mag AVT-40. Since they made the AVS buff Itās completely made the AVT-40 useless. This would allow it to gain an advantage over the AVS and distinguish a difference between weapons.
But something like this needs to happen after the FG42 family gets buffed, Iām still questioning if itās ābalancedā to release an AVS full auto by default update without doing the same to the FG42s and giving them the necessary disparity buffs that were in the test server. If they buff the AVT-40 before doing this that would be an obvious āRussian biasedā situation. And even me, someone that heavily plays and prefers the Soviet Union within this game acknowledges this.
So I say again I support the idea for the AVT, But only after the test server update goes live for The changes were already waiting on.

I would much rarher see FG42 getting a damage buff, so it still one hit kills against body armor.
If the FG had the same damage per shot as T20 or AVT it wouldnāt be effected by armor - but right now it doesnāt kill in one shot.
The rifle with the highest RoF has low damage.
The whole point about select fire rifles is the one hit kill.
Also FG42 II had 600 rpm in the real world
If in exchange for high damage. I agree. But we both know who wonāt.
If in exchange the first FG42 gets its real world 900 rpm - why not.
This is exactly what I am suggesting.

Hereās the problem though.
FG42 kills in one shot just like all the other selectfire rifles, however it and type hei have lower damage, which causes extra HP from Paras and body armor to make them need two shots to kill.
Either those guns are balanced so that they never one hit kill - just like MGs, or they get higher damage and higher recoil to justify them performing better.
It only making a game changing difference in just those specific cases is stupid
