What is their RoF in real life anyway?
The nerf is bad, sure. but at least it’s not literally unplayable. 0.8 damage lost make little to no different when the average dps is already more than 60 dps.
In reality, 500.

500-600 rounds/min but the M1 Thompson only has 600-700 rpm yet when fully upgraded has 900+ rpm if I recall meaning that the stock rof is their actual rate of fire and their fully upgraded rate of fire is just for gameplay purposes

The problem is not how big the nerf is. But that again, one side has to be nefed. Interesting, but the ppsh doesn’t have to be bothered, it’s enough to increase the reload time … but here you had everything: dmg, rof, reload time, availability for squads. I think it’s a shame. But not surprising. Anyone who plays a game of gaijin should expect this.
I see, they should at least leave the RoF alone. Doing this nerf while leaving soviet smg only seems to further brand DF a Russian bias

I completely agree with you! Not only did the Nerf touch the weapon itself, so it was taken away from other classes (tankman and pilots) which already seems strange. It turns out vg1-5 is a tankman’s weapon (although it’s a damn self-loading rifle!) and an assault rifle is not? What the fuck?

Yes, Rof or dmg, although none of them are consistent with mkbh, which works somewhat differently, but it should be the same. And here I would note, interestingly, the rate of fire of fedorov avtomat, in reality, is at most 400, so that ( not buffed ) 550-600 should be nerfed. But very much.

They nerfed it in Normandy as well? I didn’t get it here yet, but yeah, too many nerfs = heroes and generals. They should’ve learnt from their demise…
Have they changed today? Shit. Assault rifle with damage cut? And who asked for that?
Against the Fedorov, which damage allows you to kill the enemy with one shot.

LOL, forum is full of main German players.
When nerfing US/Soviet side’s stuff. All kinds of cheers.
When nerfing German side’s stuff. All kinds of excuse.

What can I say…
Most changes are not critical except few unpleasant moments:
- In Berlin campaign ROF nerf is critical since devs give soviet side Fedorov to be equal with FG 42. It’s just unlogical to nerf MP 43 without nerfing soviets’ SMGs.
- Availability of MP 43 for tankers and pilots should be compensated since ppl most likely have wasted silver orders for them. But this limitation is quite unlogical since at least tankers used theese kind of weapons.
I have a small hope that they simply changed its category to AR without actually thinking that it has reduced stats in Stalingrad, mistake in my opinion. Otherwise it’s a disaster and absurd

Only reload speed, and personally I was against that

Okay, you can compare Fedorov Avtomat to MP 43. First one one shots and second not. Already huge disbalance.
The only nerf they are testing is in Stalingrad with a little lower rof, limitation for class and bigger recoil. There is no such nerf in other campaighns.

People really agreed on that? Bought berlin cbt last year and after unlocking VG never removed it from active squads, i will always keep atleast one squad equipped with it and never noticed any big difference. If i remember right rof was nerfed but that nerf got partially removed and its fantastic weapon currently
Never liked VG1-5.
FG42/II: what are you joking of?
FG gives you the anwser at LV21. And Fedorov is at LV32.
Do you want a 9-soldier FG squad or a 4 soldier (has) Fedorov squad?

Dont forget you must pick either a PPSH41 or a Fedorov. Germans may use the FG42 and MP43 at the same time
