My opinion is simple, no nerfing of automatic rifles.

calculated.
You can take 6 engineers but lose out on AT gunner, radio operator ect.
Besides players would have 6 SF at best instead of 9 which is already an improvement.

Majority of BR5 minmaxers prefers radio squad over rifleman squad anyway.

More bots are of little importance to them. They usually stay alive longer than the rest of their squad.

So if anything, this would be nerf to artillery spam more than anything else.

Plus in BR5 matches, any class without full auto would simply be unplayable and completely redundant.
You’d just nerf any class that aren’t engineers and can currently have SF. You wouldn’t nerf SF rifles

Which is completely the wrong approach, when SF rifles are quite obviously overperforming. To the point clan minmaxers doesn’t play anything else.

And again I repeat:

Just give them to assaulters ONLY

It solves the issue of the FA spam plus negates the need to nerf them. Plus, people can still add them to basically any squad (in limited amounts) and most importantly…

It would be more historically accurate

I agree don’t need limit the number, but not assaulters as they would not use assault rifles. Give them to engineers, medics, poor guys need some good guns.

Fair point, although I honestly think it would be the opposite. Fedorovs and STGs will still be as prevalent, as they are far more superior to say an AVT.

If they were to restrict them to engis and medics, they’d still need to put a cap on how many engis/medics are in a squad (maybe a max of two for a 6 man / 5 man squad), which wouldn’t be too different to a flamethrower squad in all reality.

Guess you are right

Completely ruining unique full auto environment of BR5.

Nah, if you don’t like it. Just don’t play BR5.

I’m against nerfing SF rifles. Just give semi auto rifles the damage of bolt action rifles

No. This will make BA obsolete for no good reason, only powercreep.
SFs are the issue, breaking other things won’t improve anyting.

The infantrymen across all countries was armed with a bolt or semi rifle. Automatic rifles were rare and used in special circumstances.

The automatic rifle didn’t replace the bolt/semi in most countries until after the war and even then they were quickly replaced by assault rifles

I’ve said maybe they should move AR to the Assault or MG class. This would make the game slightly more immersive and shake up the entire meta

this is just ridiculous u literally killing any sense of playing BR5 :_: where full auto weapons with good accuracy and insane rof stuff like the MG 42 100 are the meta

best u can get is to give more relevance to AR´s and MGs with idk? a special mechanic for being Ar´s like better movement or smt?

If they were locked to b 5 and did not ruin br 5 and 4 or 2 fifths of the game

If AR were removed from Riflemen they could be replaced by high tier SA

But even then, the SVT 40 and Gewehr 43 are already high tier so…… :man_shrugging:
