Move Type 2 SMG From BR IV ➡ BR III


As you can see there are the same weapon there is very little difference between them Type 2 can be moved to BR III before Type 100 since Type 100 is better. Type 2 at BR IV wont see much play since the Tokyo Arsenal is Much Much better no point keeping it there…

man I wish I would play more Japan - I have so little desire to get to know the Japanese Meta that I simply cant fully talk about its balance without taking second guesses. Their weapon and vehicle stats are all over the place…

Even if you were right. I don’t get the point at all, what good is having two identical guns at the same BR. You won’t get better variety this way. You are just taking something away from BR4

No, in such case the higher BR weapon should get the buff.

I really hate this unreasonable obsession with lowering BRs of everything. Especially when it doesn’t make any sense at all.

there are way too many guns that are not worth using because they are a worse version of their main top BR weapon - I think side grades are always a desirable thing to have, but by the amount of guns present in the game, it is totally fine if there are some guns that are weak in their BR.

I have no clue what do you mean.

According to him, these 2 weapons are nearly identical. And rather than to buff one and thus having two different weapons to play. He just want to lower one of them to the same BR.

What’s the real point of it anyway?

I prefer as many weapons as possible to have at least a slightly different gameplay.

And BR4 type2 smg in particular is a great contrast to the Tokyo arsenal.

So if it’s needed (which I don’t even think it is), the weapon should get a buff. Not be downgraded to BR3 (where he says it’s an already very identical weapon, which I don’t think either).

Type 2 has much better recoil and somewhat really better dmg drop off.
So using this weapon on longer distances is much more comfortable than to use SiG.
And there are definitely lot of situations on Pacific maps where it is very noticeable.

If they were in different brs then the lower one would always be the better option as it’s more versatile. Lowering the br of the type 2 would give players more options (even if both guns are very simmilar)

Usually I would agree but if there’s no historical evidence to prove the weapon needs buffing, then I’d prefer the weapon stay in the same state and be lowered by 1 br in order to be competitive.

That’s utter nonsense.

Because lowering BR of weapon completely kills any possibility of buffing the weapon to be more in line with its current BR.
This would literally only suit someone who doesn’t plan on playing Japanese higher BR.

And I really don’t think it’s right that BR3 should have 3 smgs while BR4 should only have one.

So if it’s needed, then type2 should get buff to be more in line with BR4. Maybe a slight dmg boost since it already has that good dmg drop off. Something like that would actually make sense for such weapon.

Literally dmg value is completely made up artificial stat in this game.

I dont think a slight damage increase could really tip the balance of this weapon,

It may be made up, but it is quite consistent, for example 45acp full upgraded does around 8.2 dmg on all upgradable 45acp weapons (same concept goes for the majority of 9mm guns).

If there is substantial historical data that backs a potential buff, then I’m all for it. If it needs to be given a buff with no basis in reality then the next best option is to down tier it.

Well what’s the point having BR III SMG in BR IV there is better SMGs for BR IV Japan Type 2 SMG is Just reskinned SIG 1920 Im never using it Since Type 100 is better SIG is a bit worse there is no point keeping BR III SMG in BR IV the Devs must give Japan more BR IV SMGs and there is like 2 more that can be given. Simply this weapon when its lowered in BR can be used in BR IV and BR III at the same time I don’t see no reason why SIG is BR III and Type 2 is BR IV. If there is SIG 1930 will be perfect Japanese SMG BR IV.

Not to motion there is no way to buff this weapon is already given its maximum performance … SIG 1930 will have 850rpm and 40 rounds.

And right now how many SMGs Germany has at BR IV im literally doing what was done for Germany.

I can say that the Type 2 is much better than the American BR4 SMGs, and we can discuss moving the SIG to the BR4.

But I like that particular smg… :frowning: I use it for some men who won’t bring a lot of ammunition.

All American SMGs at BR IV must be moved in BR III xD cuz they are not BR IV smgs

Now angry Germans will attack you :rofl:.

(Drum tommy is definitely worth IV, and was even fine at V, trust me. Thing is great)

Axis mains won’t attack @Life_burns . Because he is objective in his suggestions and use logic.

Unlike a certain someone… :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Well Axis have problem at BR II and BR III BR IV is really Axis dominated BR at the moment :smiley: So if wehraboos wanna attack me they are welcome xD

Can German fanatics recognize logic? If today was April 1st, I would think this was an April Fool’s joke!

I haven’t played with axis 4 in forever…

I mostly fly for Japan, my Commonwealth only (obviously) lineup for allies and a few br5 axis for the new Jabo🤔

Br IV has the nicest equipment imo, thought.

No SF rifles…
