Hi,
I figured out there are not a lot of topics about pistols so I will make a poll.
Please answer these questions honestly.
Don’t vote for guns that look cool or you love them more, vote for guns that perform the best.
1. What pistol (other than the Nagant revolver) made you disappointed/ dissatisfied:
[poll type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
c96 Mauser
P08 Luger
Korovin TK
Walter p38
Tokarev TT
[/poll]
What pistol is the most overpowered one:
[poll name=poll2 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
Nagant revolver
c96 Mauser
p08 Luger
Korovin TK
Walter P38
Tokarev TT
[/poll]
If you see Nagant revolver and c96 on the ground, which one would you choose:
[poll name=poll3 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
Mauser c96
Nagant revolver
[/poll]
If you see p08 and TK on the ground, which one would you choose:
[poll name=poll4 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
Korovin TK
p08 Luger
[/poll] If you see p38 and TT on the ground, which one would you choose:
[poll name=poll5 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
Tokarev TT
p38 Walter
[/poll]
The only improvement between p08 and p38 is lower costs but most sources say p08 was a better gun, do you think Enlisted follows this:
[poll name=poll6 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
p08 is better than p38 in Enlisted
p08 is worse than p38 in Enlisted
They perform absolutely the same
[/poll] Tokarev TT was a well known pistol for it’s reliability and firepower, in Enlisted this gun has very high recoil and it’s hard to spam-fire with it, how would you balance this weapon:
[poll name=poll7 type=regular results=always chartType=bar]
Give it the same recoil as German pistols get
Give it more damage so recoil can be a trade-off
Give it both more damage and lower recoil
This pistol can be balanced in other ways
[/poll] which guns did you own/ ever used in Enlisted
[poll name=poll8 type=multiple results=always min=1 max=8 chartType=bar]
Premium PPK
Premium Astra 300
p08 Luger
Korovin TK
Nagant revolver
c96 Mauser
p38 Walter
Tokarev TT
[/poll]
Note: If you don’t have a certain weapon, you can try it in Training and see it’s accuracy
This game’s pistols, is so weak, especially soviet’s starter Nagant, that they are just useless.
In the past, like OAT? Pistols do a good job at close range. Now, it takes like 4 shots to knock someone down.
Also, again, germans’ pistols are better than soviets’, like Nagang+TK26, just way worse than germans’ P08+C96. This game is always somewhat pro-german in some indescribable aspects. But since pistols is currently useless after a great nerf, no one cares about them and their unbalanced aspect.
If switching guns’ animation is so laggy, and animation isnt quick, and damage is so weak. So why using pistols?
For my chat group, most german players has already reached >lv18 or even lv 26. So now, they are either start playing soviet, or leave the game till OBT. Also since PPD recoil buff, soviet is more easier than before.
But I will stick with german side, since the previous 20/20 recoil PPD give me a terrible experience.
BTW, for Chinese market, I think there’s more player prefer to soviet side than german side.
Nope, see my latest post: [0.1.13.34] WTF going on with my academy training slot
(literally just happens when I alt-tabbing to see your reply)
I wont able to use german’s academy forever…
Im considering playing soviet again, now…
unfortunally, for this lovely rng system, prevented me for having half of the mentioned weapons.
so yeah, i’m somewhat an veteran that cannot test for shit as i don’t, can’t and in some cases, never got some of these weapons.
not only in the CBT, but in the previous alphas.
i did not filled the pool where i couldn’t.
so, from what i can say, and i experienced, pistols in the recent update ( i believe during normandy ) got nerfed for no reason, making the po8 almost pointless and the c96 remaining the only option.
p38? more like, good fucking luck in getting that.
never got one from the beginning of this game.
for the russian side;
the revolver it’s almost like a pea shooter. you almost need 3 bullets to kill a singular soldier at almost 10 meters.
making the tk no real difference. it is better than the nagant and the p08… but the recoil it’s almost like a hand cannon.
TT? no clue as again, those are probably rare than purples carrots.
never got one, and not sure i’ll ever get one.
Pistols right now are mostly useless in general. Some are more useless (aka Nagant), some are less useless but that´s really it. Pistols in general needs to be given a bit more thought, or at least I didn´t find them either reliable, nor useful (anything else aside serving as emergency weapon you never use, on classes such as snipers because even then its better to just pick up another weapon from dead body to defend yourself).
I didn´t get to sniper SVT, do not have enough time to actually play for that but I believe you.
However, sniper class was just an example, there are few more who should use pistols because their main armanent is just too heavy or their performance in close range requires to use one.
I think purpose behind pistols implemented that way is, that they are intended to be emergency weapons if you do not have any other choice or until you pick up something else from the ground. However, they absolutely fail to do even that role properly.
Imo, pistols should mostly act as semi auto variants of the SMGS with equal damage and recoil, except for the nagant, which would be a “bolt action” semi auto rifle/LG, with semi’s doing 12 damage compared to bolt action 14-15 damage.
And for some of the pistols, like C96, this is actually pretty well done
