MKb42(H) back to the Engineers

So, from the merge, MKb has been removed from the equipment of Engineers.
However, the Soviet Union has the AVT40 still in service as equipment for Engineers, and the US has the M2 carbine. And Germany also has the FG42 available to the engineers. To be honest, I am not sure why the MKb was removed from Engineers.
Why not put the MKb back in the Engineer?

Because you will be given event squads of engineers

I know that, but it is also odd that they would make what we had unusable and give it out anew.

Germans definitely do not need this atm. It would be basically just another “popularity buff” to already most favorite faction atm.
This would only hurt the game.

Because this option was basically never in consideration. It always was just “all ARs or no ARs at all for engineers”.

Even tho I myself was saying they should kept just MkBs for engineers, since not much would change.

Not really, Soviets would be able to use ass 44. It would be a problem for USA however


And would indeed

I thought he specifically mentioned only MkBs, not all ARs for everyone.

i mean apparently today we have new update maybe enlisted will do the double event strat again

ah shit didnt mean to reply to you i thought i was replying to the whole topic

The op did.

But you think only Germany would have the right to use assault rifles on engies? Never :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, I thought so, because inconsistency is DF’s second name.

You got a very valid point :thinking:

How about we don’t turn absolutely every soldier class into assaulters?
I guess it’s too late for that. Because who needs classes with unique abilities anyway?

Oh boy, the last thing we need was more than 4 Federovs in a squad.

There’s free event squad with 6 of them, lmao.

So


It’s because the Soviets were smuggling Fedorov on the engineers and they’re using the German thing as a scapegoat so they can’t bring in Fedorov on their engineers

Funny you can use 5 AR with Medics
 or 6 with paratroopers


And there is no reason to use MkB42, when you can get StG44 in the same BR


If the Devs don’t give the engineers rifles that can fire full auto, then I think they are being consistent.
Still fine, in that case I would just let them have semi-auto/bolt action.
But currently in the high Tier, every faction except poor Japan has semi-auto rifles that can fire full auto, and these work like assault rifles.
I can have a squad of 9 riflemen all assaulted, or I can have a squad of 6 engineers all assaulted.
If the game design allows for that, why take only the MKb42 away from the engineers? There is no consistency.
And my 30+ MKb’s that I accumulated before the merge are looking for a place to go.

In reality the MKB has practically been removed from the game - since it is in the same BR as STGs and FG42s now.

MKB should be BR4 together with Kiraly just like Beretta is right now.

Im just happy that I wasn’t Fedorov spammed yet.
I mean, at least they are also cycling some AVT40 as well.

I certainly agree with you that there is no reason to use MKb, but with only two queues, LowTier (BR1~BR3) and HighTier (BR3~BR5), it seems almost pointless to drop from BR5 to BR4.
Well, I like the shape of the MKb barrel so I have my BR5 assault squad mixed with StG44


Well this two queue system is not supposed to be like that, you should be able to go into matches with BR1 and BR2 without having any BR3 players present.

±1 BR matching means that every player in an active game can either face enemies being 1 BR below them, or one BR above them - but NOT BOTH at the same time, otherwise if you go into battle with BR2 gear and you face both BR1 and BR3 - then the BR1 guy needs to fight against +2 BRs
