I bought four of these off battle pass a while back, and although it is a decent gun, IMOP it’s not a good assaulter gun as the ROF is only 400, and IMOP is far to slow, even with increased 10 hitting power. Since IMOP the Germans lack many options in semi auto rifles at level two, how bout making this gun “full time semi auto” and letting engineers, radiomen and or riflemen use it? I would love to use it, but IMOP every other level two smg is superior, however this would make a great semi auto for others who have to use rifles, even if it were limited to one class of riflemen, like engineers for example.
I know, with Dark Force this suggestion is dead on arrival, as with every suggestion I have submitted in the past year or two, so a complete waste of time, but here it is anyway.
There are many semi-automatic rifles Germany could get but very few assault rifles especially for low BR.
I dont see how a another semi-automatic rifle would be better or more unique than an assault rifle on BR2.
yeah, I could do that, but I only have a squad or two total of assault engineers, and I use them at level 5 with stg’s. Even at 400 rpm as at fully auto, it has a slower rate of fire then the Allied level two Smith lite rifle which has 480 and hits at 7.2, which I think should be increased as well.
They can leave it as an assault rifle, but let your average engineer carry it, that is what I would like. Yes, I have an assaulter engineer squad, but I like it at level five, so unless DF would put assaulter engineer squad in the tech tree, that limits it, and I wouldn’t use it before the level two German smg’s as it is just not as good.
I would be fine if DF would increase the damage buff to make them worth replacing an smg for, but either way, DF would have to make a change, and from what I see, they never do regardless of what we request. But I would rather use them as a semi auto with an engineer, but if DF would increase the damage, I would be happy with that as well. Until then the gun is just collecting dust.
Well, like I said prior, everything I submit is DOA with Dark Force anyway, so you have nothing to worry about. I only have the one assault engineers and like them at level five, and I like them at level five with the stg.
Its a bit too inaccurate to make sense for the dps it has, however since it has high damage per shot, its doesn’t need 3 shots against Soviet body armor like all other German BR2 SMGs, so I would say it got a niche usage.
Personaly I disagree that this gun is underpowered. Its very good at long range and stil allows for close range combat. Thats its main strength, that it flexible.
So SMG’s are better at doing SMG things but thats not really the strength of the Mkb 35 to begin with.
Not saying its OP or anything, its not, but it does have a place in my arsenal.
This is why I think it should not be an assaulter gun as it doesn’t really do assaulter things. To me, it would be better as a semi auto rifle. I love the gun, but it does not fit in any of my level two assaulter squads, and my engineer assaulter squad is better at level five with stg’s then it would be at level two with four mkb35’s. Yeah, I could put it as a backup weapon, but IMOP it is closer to a semi auto rifle then an smg which is why I think it should be used as a rifle. It is not underpowered, just slow, and even though it has a higher damage, I usually lose when I encounter another smg, even when I get the first shot. It is better at longer distances, which is another reason I thought it would be a better semi auto rifle. However, I am quite sure my suggestion was DOA with DF the moment I published the idea.
its the only assault rifle at low BR and it excels at MID-RANGE combat, if you’re trying to use it like a submachine gun then you’re fundamentally playing with the weapon incorrectly
tunisia, moscow, those campaigns are very open maps, if you’re not playing the mkb35 to its strengths, then its no wonder you’re having a terrible time with it
Which is the exact reason I am saying it should be a semi auto rifle. How many level two German smg’s are offered in the tech tree? six or seven? How many Semi Auto’s? One. This would be a perfect semi auto with its shooting traits, it is only a decent gun at longer ranges when I use it, which is why I believe it should be a semi auto rifle and used by the same soldiers that have to use the Armaguerra. We’re only alotted four anyway, so they are limited. However, if DF is going to keep it as a slow rof assault rifle, I would suggest it increase the hitting power.
But I would rather use them as a semi auto with an engineer, but if DF would increase the damage, I would be happy with that as well. Until then the gun is just collecting dust.
