I’ve pitched this idea once before, but will pitch it again. Drop the MP35 to level two. It is no where near the ZK and thus there is no reason to use it at level three. I know level two is fairly saturated with SMG’s, however, a weapon that for the most part is unused at a higher level might actually be used at the lower level, and it can STILL be used in level three for those who use it at level three. Although, why anyone would choose it over a ZK is beyond me. There is a limited number of MP35’s at level two already, and other then the shorter barrel, are basically the same weapon.
For those who don’t want to drop it solely because there are a number of SMG options currently at level two, then drop the FNAB 43 to level one, unless the Dev’s buff it’s ROF. The FNAB would be a decent level one smg, comparable to the Grease gun in ROF, but lacks the hitting power of the Grease gun. So, a twofer, drop the MP35 from three to two and the FNAB from two to one. And the few who use the FNAB in level two can still use it in level two, the gun itself doesn’t change.
the MP35/1 does not look any better than the Lancaster or Owen MK1 so ok but if the FNAB 43 goes to BR1 it should be joined by the M3A1 which has a negligible increase in ROF, that done i would agree
I would agree with that as the M3A1 is not really good at BR2, but would be serviceable in BR1. I have the field mod squad in BR1 which basically uses M3A1’s anyway, and they are just a tad better then the base M3 and an even match for the FNAB IMOP.
I’ve posted quite a few requests of the Dev’s to increase the FNAB, but so far no response, just like all my other requests. Seems they love taking my money but not my requests.
My first option would be to increase the ROF of the FNAB, they could make it start at 600 and max at 690 which is I believe the max of the PPS-42, and if they refuse to do that then drop it to level one where it should be with it’s current ROF and hit power. The MP-35 would do good to get a buff, but even with a ROF fire buff I cannot see anyone using it over the ZK, so I would be fine with a ROF buff, just as happy to see it dropped to level two where I do use the there MP-35 short barreled smg and like it.
I would be happy with either to be honest, buffing or dropping them, but do something with them.
I’ve seen other sources, before I ever knew the video existed. But the FNAB was built, like most other smg’s in high ROF and low ROF, and the highest I have seen for the FNAB is 837, while 400 being the lowest. Of course, I see the PPS-43 also showing it had a rate of fire similar to the PPS-42, and the Dev’s seemed to lean toward the higher end. Besides, with all the experimental guns in the game, does it really matter? Why have a level one smg at level two? If they want to keep it at 400 ROF, I’m fine, but drop it to level one, where it still wouldn’t be the best smg, but it would be serviceable.
It doesn’t really matter how many BR2 smg’s there are since the gun itself doesn’t change, and anyone that currently uses it in BR3 still can, however, it just becomes eligible to use in BR2 as well. So, it only really effects the gun in a negative way if it was moved up to a higher level, not down. Down just gives it more accessibility. Leaving it where it is unbuffed just means it will collect dust.
Well yeah - thats what I mean, people correctly pointed out that those guns should have higher rates of fire, which if correctly buffed could make them useful in higher BRs
If the Dev’s leave the guns alone without a buff, then the FNAB should go to level one and the MP-35 should go to level two. Now, If they buffed them both, that shouldn’t necessarily mean they should go up a BR level, after all, neither will ever be buffed to the level of the PPD-43 or the Uragan, so, it would take a hell of a lot of buffing for either of them to be move up IMOP. Even if the Dev’s buffed the FNAB to 837 rof, it still doesn’t exceed the Uragan and puts it somewhat in line with the PPS-43. That being said, I would buff it to 600 base and 690 maxed, bringing it in line with the PPS-42, or as I have said, just drop it to level one.
Yes of course - but, how about making low BR smgs weaker in general instead of stronger?
Many BR2 SMGs are already BR3 SMGs in disguise, just like the addition of the Fedorov semi auto, BR2 has lost its low power auto and heavy bolt action gameplay.
MP40 is shit in BR2 right now, but it should be the maximum SMG power for BR2 - maybe even in a nerfed state, however PPS43, Uragan, Thompson 30 rounders are in no way fitting for BR2.
