I have long been dissatisfied with Enlisted that the regular German rifle was not the STG-44, but the FG-42, produced in part for the airborne troops.
But now that we have left the Stalingrad engineer problem behind, there is a good solution if the STG-44 is overpowered. Converts the Mkb.42(H) into a semi-automatic rifle.
To be honest, this is a play on words, but it does not mean that we have abandoned our promise to Stalingrad users. The sappers used by the users of Stalingrad were able to use the Mkb.42(H). You can keep it that way. The balance is right too. The Soviet AVT-40 is a semi-automatic rifle in other theaters, but it is treated as an assault rifle in this theater. In that case, if only the Mkb.42(H) is released as semi-automatic, the balance will be right.
To be fair, the possibility to use shotguns heavily favors the US because they are the only ones with non-trash shotty and Japan doesn’t even have one. So it would be fair giving the other factions’ engineers something unique too.
Mkb42(H) has been nerfed many times already and is the weakest AR in the game, but it would still be unfairly better than a shotgun.
Are you awear that the AVT shoots rifle caliber rounds while the Mkb only shots smaller intermediate rounds?
The AVT hits like a truck compared to the Mkb.
The Mkb got hit prety badly with dispersion nerfs making worse in the very distance range it was designed to fight in.
And how do you justify taking away a core feature from a real and existing gun?
The full auto just as important to the iconic sturmgewehr identity as for the PPSH or would you prefer the PPSH beeing semi auto aswell just because someone complained on the forum for “balance” reasons.
In this game, it is up to the developer to decide between semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles. Even if it is a rifle that does not fire semi-automatically, if the developer says it is a semi-automatic rifle, it is a semi-automatic rifle in the game.
A clear example is the AVT-40. In Stalingrad it is an assault rifle, but in Berlin it is a semi-automatic rifle. As you say, anything that fires “automatically” should not be a semi-automatic rifle.
Okay ? So what exactly are you suggesting here ? Keep the avt40 as it is available to everyone and remove fg42 as its counter and introduce the mkb42 to that place that is nowhere near balanced against avt40 ?
It’s not my opinion or fault that the developer claims that, but in this game, the developer has done just that. If you are dissatisfied with it, we recommend creating a new topic.
