Other guns in the same category have about 8 damage but fedorov has 11.6 (both not upgraded). Also it has about 1/3 less dispersion than other ARs.
That’s a very big difference in favor of fedorov that should be fixed if it’s supposed to remain as AR.
Alternative solution:
Honestly, I just love watching this forum whine about this update. I have a feeling this will not be the last, far from the last thread with suggestion and request to nerf Soviet weapons.
I made a suggestion to both nerf and “buff” this gun and you complain under both of them. So make up your mind.
I’m not complaining about anything, my friend. I’m just watching and having fun watching the reactions of others. And sometimes I give my opinion.
This comment sounds a lot like complaining but ok, maybe I got it wrong.
And remove +10% hp buff from their fantasy cosmetics
And about Fedorov’s improvement, I think raising his damage that much was not the best idea. After all, if they wanted to improve Fyodorov so much, they could have upgrade his recoil or accuracy or given him finally his bayonet. As it is, by improving the Fedorov, they essentially devalued and rendered the AC-44 largely useless.
Not the first time, not the last time.
That’s a separate issue.
But yes, cosmetics shouldn’t have effects other than visual.
I love the AC-44, especially how it looks and so I’m a little sad about it.
I think they’d rather give customization cuirasses to all nations than remove that bonus from the Soviets. Especially… [speaks quietly] that the editor already has armor for all nations.
Then it should be an item instead of cosmetic.
Cosmetics are for visual stuff ONLY.
That problem this gun is OP with out buff . Now this gun have damage same Battle rifle 
both proposals are directed against the squad of assault engineers, if you make the avtomat Fedorov an automatic rifle, then their ability to wear it will be devalued. it can be given to ordinary engineers besides, their second chip in cuirasses that hardly affect anything, but removing their 10% bonus will indicate a German bias
Wait, so giving russians 10% damage reduction is ok but removing it is a german bias?
I don’t know if I understand this correctly.
Good you should be using assault rifle not machine gun that in reality was Fedorov Avtomat you should be happy that it’s not completely taken away from BR5 and nerfed to 350-400rpm. Equal assault rifle to STG44 was already added and it’s called AS-44 you should try it at least once. Soviets don’t need to be superior in every single squad all across the BR you know. +10% hp bonus is just unfair advantage with their artificially increased stats all around the board.
The Avtomat is so bleeping awesome sauce, I bring jelly to my US/Germany/Japan jam games because they don’t have such glory.
leave this one as is. other factions have their own gems
It seems Soviets have too many gems under it’s belt, AS-44, Fedorov Avtomat, Fedorov rifle, Fedorov MG, 2x paratrooper BR5 squad, AT-44 (currently the best AR in the game if you ignore Fedorov MG), NKVD Thompson, PPSh-41 drum, turtle body armor. And that’s just BR5 (no Fed MG doesn’t belong to BR4)
you joined in 21. I’m sure you can list the US & Germany gems then realize, oh crap they have great stuff too. Soviet airforce is crap all BRs and their MGs are lackluster hint hint
I don’t know. When I pick up their DP-27, it’s comparable to MG34 (not identical though).
But that’s a very limited sample.
