Move MKb 42 (W) to BR 4

The gold order MKb 42 (W) was by all accounts useless at BR 5, losing out to tech tree MKb 42 (H), MP 43/1 and StG 44.

Currently buying a GO MKb 42 (W) makes no sense as you’re better off just unlocking MKb 42 (H).

Now that BR 4 is trying to be playable, it would probably make sense to move MKb 42 (W) there, as it would become BR 4’s good gold order weapon.

It would also unlikely become OP there since 1. You would still theoretically play 50% of matches against its usual BR 5 counterparts and 2. Even when downtiered against BR 3, you’d only be able to have four of them per army (tbh I think GO weapons limit should be lowered to 1-2 pcs again).

Mkb 42 h should also be br 4. Maybe not the sniper variant but normal one for sure

Yeah I’m not sure assault rifles should farm BR 3 players on rinse and repeat.

However, gold order MKB 42 W limited to 4 pcs could be a somewhat balanced option.

Mkb 42 is so bad that i can hardly count it assault rifle. Also mkb 35 can farm br 1 players currently

Looking at stats of it, it has least rof from other variants.
Thats about it, other than that its quite similar to rest of them.

Could swear it has gotten some kind of buff at somepoint, sure as hell it wasnt no where near comparable to Mp43 / STG44 pre-merge.

Personally switched straight back to kiralys when it came to moscow campaign.

Havent actually seen a single ingame.
But judging by stats it should definitely get uptiered.

Soviets have overpowered PPSh-41 box at BR3 that is pretty much a BR4 weapon, Kiraly/PPsh-41 drum/Tommy drum also should go down to BR4

Ehm I’m not sure PPSh box should be at the same BR as PPSh drum, that’s going to kill the former instantly.

For history purpose late-war BR 5 is fine to me.

i wouldnt call H better than W. there are some minor tradeoffs with both of them. W has better dispersion (so better accuracy) and recoil direction(so extremely predictable horizontal recoil), while H has slightly better recoil and slightly faster reload.

both are same tier weapon.

Put drum at BR4 but keep box at BR3 but bring BR4 and BR5 Smgs of Ger/USA down in BR
