Nerf the M2 Stinger

[CaptainSebekel]

@Tabbot

but the MG15 sucks” yeah so does the Vickers.G.O

Is the Vickers also bugged for a year or so now?

[Tabbot]

@TUSUPOLISI69

Like the M2 that has more than enough ammo for such and smg recoil ?
Or MG 42 early or MG45 which both are premium and due to that not exactly that common guns.

ok… but it’s an Event Item; I’ve said before that I’m FINE with the M2 getting nerf’d to have a 100 round belt. My objection is always more about the notion of “MG42 with 250 round belt on the tech tree”… screw that.

I’m talking about the MG34 and MG42 tech trees, with the 50 round belts versus the Allied 30 and 20 round magazines. at tier III.

@CapitanRastrero

Nah, yall already have rhe RPD

again if you want a RPD you should get a Zk. 423,

if you want a response to the Maxim-Tokarev and M1919A6: —> MG15nA.

[Tabbot]

it must be;

again I find the squad to be bad luck whenever I try to use it.

[CaptainSebekel]

There is no evidence that the Vickers is bugged.

[Tabbot]

ok
cool, again the Vickers G.O. is to me at least Bad Luck, and I have only rarely seen it used; Much like the MG15

[TUSUPOLISI69]

@Tabbot

but it’s an Event Item

Which was ridiculously easy to obtain.
Unlike the german rocket radio squad that imo is not even comparable to M2 that is insane.

IF the M2 was atleast somewhat hard to obtain much like the current german radio operator event squad, then fine.
It would be by far less common but it was so ridiculously easy to obtain that everyone and theyr mom has it.

@Tabbot

“MG42 with 250 round belt on the tech tree”

Funny, since it always seems to be the argument “but but german LMG’s are better” to justify smg imbalance or what else.
Yet there aint exactly a single LMG in TT worth of using.

[Tabbot]

when was the last time you played tier III?

[CaptainSebekel]

@Tabbot

and I have only rarely seen it

Becaus its an event item from Early 2023 or so.

@TUSUPOLISI69

the MG34 and MG42 are both good; far better than either the Johnson and BAR (especially the M1918, and M1918A1)
the MG34 (75) is quite underrated as a suppressive fire MG;

if we want to talk Premiums, the MG13(75) has been amazing every time I’ve been lucky enough to grab one off a dead komraden… should’ve bought it when I had the chance to (and might just get the re-enforcement package…)… it’s much better than the Colt Monitor, which requires some tight trigger control which isn’t always an option.

How the heck are you using these weapons where you run into serious problems?

i have seen it used more than mg34, mg42 and mg15 combined.

@Tabbot

the MG34 and MG42 are both good; far better than either the Johnson and BAR (especially the M1918, and M1918A1)

BAR is excellent and would argue has more utility than mg34/42 at lower BR. i used BAR non stop till i got to m1919a6 and m2 carbine. germans have good SMG and SA so they have no need for MG, while crappy US SMG and lower capacity SA give BAR a place to shine.

@Tabbot

a suppressive fire MG;

doesnt exist in this game. you either kill people or not, there is no suppression.

[anon96503139]

@Dregomz

Soviets have body armor that gives them +10% EHP and stacks with Vitality

Wait is there armor in this game? How can I get armor here?

[anon96503139]

They should return MG13 with drum event, missed it for long time.

MG 13

[noktinnky_noktin]

it not an event item that a premium

[Dregomz]

@Tabbot

• Superior AT Weapon at BR III and IV
• superior 47-50 round MG’s at BR III and IV,
• Two 75 round MG’s at BR IV and V
• VG1-5 is better than the M1 carbine, frankly it’s better/more useful than the M1 Garand; not as “quick’” to kill for sure, but it’s good enough and has enough ammo in it that you can dump it at medium to close range and get some hits.
• Armaguerra Mod. 39 at tier II, frankly underrated; has a similar problem to the M1 Carbine, and the Hei, and Otsu in that iit’s got a very small magazine, but at the very least (compared to the M1 carbine) has the decency to be far more lethal per bullet hitting… at least in my experience.
• Flamethrower equipped paratroopers. (Event or premium)

Soviets have same AT guns at BR 3/4
True about MG34 but MG42 is not that great, MG42 Early is pretty cool, MG34 drum will get matched against BR5, and MG15 is total trash, at BR5 Soviets have 2x 100 mag MGs that are superior and Americans not only have 100 mag MG but also total OP M2 Stinger with 200 ammo. I like BAR over the MG34 since it’s more capable at assaulting points, MG34 promotes more passive and slow gameplay.
VG1-5 is pretty good however it’s dmg per bullet is poor so you may get murdered by the bolties and smgs.
Armaguerra has too small of a magazine i would rather use M93
Italian paratroopers got double nerf and then buff and i’m not really feeling them since their smgs are so trash, flamethrowers got nerfed and are not as good as before.

So not many great weapons while Soviets have super strong PPS-42/43, PPSh-41 box, Winchester, SVT-38, Panzerfaust 60/100, multiple amazing MGs, Fedorov MG that is not really MG, RMN-50.
Americans have Lee Enfield, M1 Carbine/rifle with nade launcher, Johnson rifle, BAR/Colt Monitor/W.A.R, Lanchester 50, BSA Welgun, Piat instead of crappy Sturmpistole, Vickers for paras too. I have ignored obvious op weapons that i mentioned in my previous post.

[Dregomz]

All Axis lmgs should get buff to the mag size Premium or TT, they have no excuse after all nations getting high capacity mags except Germany, Japan also could get a new MG one with two barrels is really inaccurate and wonky. And stupid debuffs of MG15 needs to be removed, we also need MG42 with belt fed and different much higher rof at BR5

[WalterSpeering]

@Tabbot

Superior AT Weapon at BR III and IV

@Tabbot

superior 47-50 round MG’s at BR III and IV

Doesnt matter because you will face Tier V in 99,9%. Nice - 50rd MG34 vs Stinger, AS44, T20 and Tokarev.
The germans got inferiour AT-guns on Tier II (Sturmpistole is fun but the allied weapons on this tier are more controlable). I dont get why Germany not has the Panzerfaust 60 on Tier II…but hey, hello bias.

@Tabbot

Two 75 round MG’s at BR IV and V

Still the allied counterparts are superiour (as usual). The german mains HAVE to be thankfull that they got at least 75 rounds

@Tabbot

VG1-5 is better than the M1 carbine

Doesnt matter when you face Tier IV/V.

@Tabbot

Armaguerra Mod. 39 at tier II

The only somewhat useable gun for german tier II. Still crap when facing tier III (SVT-38). I would pick the M1 over the Armaguerra every time.

@Tabbot

Flamethrower equipped paratroopers. (Event or premium)

How many people have access to these squads? 20% of all german players? Maybe 25%? I am happy and lucky that I got the italian event-paras, which are tier II and REALLY a usefull team.

[CaptainSebekel]

@WalterSpeering

dont get why Germany not has the Panzerfaust 60 on Tier II…

Because Soviets woud also get them then.
Also there is the GrB, which has a higher pen iirc and shorter reload time. I think it maybe evenhas the highest pen in BR2.

[TUSUPOLISI69]

@Tabbot

the MG34 and MG42 are both good

Both would arguably shine around mid range if we had proper bipods & ammo capacity.
Currently neither is worth using

@Tabbot

Johnson and BAR (especially the M1918, and M1918A1)

Id rather compare them to Mg13 / ZB26, obv due to BAR’s not having same movement penalties its quite odd comparison.

@Tabbot

the MG34 (75) is quite underrated as a suppressive fire MG;

There is no suppression in the game.

@Tabbot

if we want to talk Premiums, the MG13(75) has been amazing every time I’ve been lucky enough to grab one off a dead komraden…

I can only guess ? Aint going to buy a single 30-50e premium squad just to get something equal what other faction gets for free.

@Tabbot

How the heck are you using these weapons where you run into serious problems?

Playing objective ?

[anon96503139]

@TUSUPOLISI69

Aint going to buy a single 30-50e premium squad just to get something equal what other faction gets for free.

Ngl they should make that legacy MG13 with drum for free in tech tree instead of as a premium just to make it a bit better. Ngl I feel bad for germany to just be a punching bag for both allies and soviets

[Tabbot]

@TUSUPOLISI69

There is no suppression in the game.

what do you call it when I put my bipod down on a windowsill and prevent the enemy from advancing?

I call it suppression, I “suppress” by shooting anything that moves in the lane of fire and thereby deny it to the enemy forcing them to go around. Perhaps not the best term but it’s “semi-stationary” fire,

typically I try to take shots at anything that I can see, kind of wish scoped snipers weren’t a thing because I do love the pixel hunt in this game (and scoped snipers make it too easy at the ranges that exist in game lol)
