Move G43 to BR 3

Allies posses SA rifles with 10 rounds and stick mags, G43 for germans should be no exception , personally i wouldnt mind Zh-29 as well

Using crappy G41 while others having fast reloading and often large capacity semis is like playing Dark Souls every match.

at least they fixed the reloading animation for G41 but still reload is long and G43 would solve exactly this, even garand isnt that much of a pain to reload

Average BR3 German Soldier when looking at the enemies arsenal of weapons:

The ZH rifle already is a nice rifle for BR4 because of its higher damage and bayonet. The G43 is outclassed and it feels like a BR 3.5 rifle

After adding overpowered Winchester M1907 and Hino rifle + Type 4 at BR3 they have no excuse anymore to not bring both G43 and ZH-29 to BR3.

Any other move than downtiering them will be now seen as devs, creative guys and CM hating on Germany and wanting them to be the weakest nation in the game. Sounds like a Xenophobia to me.

thing is once you equip G43 you can be matched against BR 5 players , sadly i would never choose to fight with G43 against BR5 now, there is high end stuff for that purpose

15.8 vs 15.3 dmg is not a big advantage it’s miniscule and unnoticeable in average match. It doesn’t justify being let alone to rot at BR4 (always uptiers to BR5) and not used by anyone.

And those weapons are not even cursed by magical dispersion

idunno man, they have fantastic light machine gun options at every BR, especially when you consider the USSR is basically stuck with the madsen at br2

King tiger is also the best heavy tank IMO, the super pershing has a massive exposed aiming device on its forehead

We need a punching bag for this player base and as some people have already said this is not a competitive game while the Soviets and the allies are laughing somewhere in the background.

And here’s this great legend who said such a thing Allow players to purchase German bulletproof helmets and Japanese bulletproof vests for their soldiers - #21 by NshPPSH

  • Seperate BR 4 from BR 5
  • Make all magazine loaded S-A rifles larger than 5 rounds BR 4 (SVT-38 should have been a stripper-clip loaded rifle from the beginng)
  • Also buff damage of both SVT-38 and G41 to 12.7 because that’s what fully powered SAs should be doing, it’s the standard.
  • Lower reload speed of Pavesi SVT and G41 to a reasonable number.

The G43 is BR 4 material, it’s just that everything else has been so skewed that it looks out of place.

Oh really? MG13 is bouncing like crazy. And Madsen got a buff so now it’s usable. Soviets also have Breda and RPK so it’s not like they have nothing. I would rather take usable smgs than medicore lmgs, and all of them are mediocre till BR3 (only exception is Hotchkiss).

And where are those fantastic LMGs at BR5??? RD-44 and Stinger are kings of BR5.

King Tiger has weak turret cheeks that explode in a single hit from 90/100mm cannon. And any infantry squad can murder it in 1-3 rockets from the front, with side you can even use tnt it’s that weak.

better idea, buff g41.

Well I’m glad Germany has this magical tank to defy all logics and it’s not like we’re hiding from anti tank weapons or explosive packs or bombs or rockets.

I do agree that theres definitely not lack of options.
But the fact that bipods are still mediocre at best, the movement penalties and all other crap.
I dont generally see the LMG as anykind of proper tool ingame.

At this point it’s just a feature because God forbid Germany actually used their main strength and that’s not even talking about how machine gun nest is still broken while the Americans actually work.

Which are crippled by movement dispersion penalties so only situationally usefull at best until you reach the 100 round ones which get decent at point blank in BR 5.

Or just give the SVT-38 a stripper clip reload.

Speaking of MG nests, Soviets also have massive advantage there their HMG is the best in the game. And their “weak useless” Madsen squad can easily build them and win the match.
