Is it any worse than running over BR1-2 new player with some OP smg (M1A1 thompson and Berretta M38/42 are tier 4 for instance but BR2) that can only be aquired at Tier 4 and running three squads of max level assaulter with perfect perks and equipment that are not available to new player anyway?
I mean, I would rather be exploded once by a tank like this and then be able to destroy it easily with my own tank, mg, molotov, random plane, than having to fight 4 stacks sweater cycling max levelled assaulter squad…
you wouldnt believe it, but high rate of fire is actually downside for fg42 when it is in position to OHK. also damage is only “tied” if soviets dont have body armor, otherwise it matters only within 20m before becoming 2 hit gun.
xa-38 is superior to a20 in everything… better speed, better turning and climb rate while having same payload with 75mm gun and a20 is BR4. that is reason why people want xa-38 in BR4.
also ju87 has 2/3rds of its speed, much worse climb rate and worse turn rate. btw i cant find ju87 D-5 on BR3 with 3x 250kg bombs. D5 is on BR2 with 1x 250kg bomb and 4x 50kg bombs.
just checked, that is D3, but with even worse climb and turn rate.
Here comes the cope of “let’s protect new players”
Where are your protecting newbie German players post when you can grind them with much stronger loadouts for USA/USSR like:
Yeah nowhere what a clan of hypocrites you are. So great you want to buff German smgs but at same time you took their best vehicle away which was the sole reason to play BR2 Germany for many, so they are left with nothing, no good smgs no good tanks, mediocre rifles and only one single fine plane (IAR).
I can spam Scotts 24/7 even harder than anyone ever could PZ3N you should know it has same splash radius and dmg as PZ3N 75mm. Where were you when i was murdering BR1 players?
Nowhere to be seen you were just enjoying overpowered Fedorov Avtomat while grinding Germans and i bet that FG42 II buff is just excuse for you to lobby for Fedorov Avtomat to become a rifleman weapon + get AVT/AVS with 20 rounds.
These people can never seem to look at the big picture and they can only focus on their pieces which they care about and they don’t consider the cause and effect of what they’re doing.
And they like to bring up the new player experience as an excuse while they get away with murder.
Xa38 have a 360 degree Bot MG that kills everything in the air, it is one of my strongest Airplane in BR3, could be easy BR4 but US and A can have it… more ExPLoSiOnS
They don’t control the game but control the narrative and what devs going to buff/nerf/uptier and downtier.
It’s even more insidious than just being a mastermind of the game as they wouldn’t need to create such psychical manipulating techniques on this forum.
And their meme posts never tried to deny what i just said.
Even if you need to shoot twice, the FG-42’s firing rate is still 1.5 times that of the AVS-36, which will narrow the gap.Due to its higher firing rate, the FG-42 is undoubtedly much better than the AVS-36 at close range.
A higher firing rate will not bring you any disadvantage, as its recoil is still controllable, and you only need to change your shooting habits to solve the problem.
And when competing for strategic points, we often engage in battles within 20 meters.
I imagine getting shot at by high explosive doesn’t seem that fair.
I also imagine that without high explosives, an enemy team would be completely unable to fight back against a significantly better skilled and equipped team. It just makes the disparity between the quality of each team more apparent.
Seems more like a minor inconvenience in regular matches, and an issue that can be addressed by the rulemaker in more competitive ones.
At this rate, you might as well start petitioning to adjust all vehicle BRs in accordance to their ability to provide infantry support, rather than almost-solely the ability to fight tanks. This is an infantry game, after all- though the combined-arms aspect seems to be intended to be integral.
The strongest advocates against something are usually kept in check by that something.
It reminds me of the arms race between CAS and SPAAs in War Thunder, and the arguments for and against it.
What I’m not fond of, is, according to you, the biggest reason why you’d suggest a nerf to an upcoming event vehicle: That new players would have to face it.
You could have been more straightforward with your agenda against HE spam but you had the audacity to preface this as “think of the newbies!” which, as you might expect, is a tough sell coming from you. That circumstance had the unfortunate effect of convincing people against the idea.
when you have power to 1 shot a soldier, then increased rate of fire is not advantage unless you have whole squad clumped in one place. you will waste more bullets than needed and magazine is limited.
that is why slower rate of fire is preferred cause it saves ammo and gives more controllable recoil.
Enemies usually do not stand in a row, higher firing rates can bring more intense strafing, which is very suitable for killing large groups of AI soldiers.Quickly killing enemies is much more important than saving ammunition.
It will deplete your ammo count faster so if you spray but arent yet aimed at an new enemy bullets are wasted. ROF is only useful as long as you can make effective use of it and retarget in time.
So if you got the option of dumping your entire mag over the course of 1 second or 1.5 seconds you will see that the 1 second periode is less forgiving if you did not retarget in time and will get you killed once the 1 second window is up.
In an ideal world with 100% accuracy better ROF would always be better but for the average Joe this isnt fesible.
So if you want to have your 800 rpm AVT( or AVS ) then go ahead but dont complain that your gun is even more ammo starved then how it was before.
Why only 800? Go with 1200rpm and I’d decrease it’s magazine to 10 rounds because as we all know, bigger mag makes you waste ammo.
Why? Because king tiger.
But if it’s higher, there’s no need.
