Remove FG-42 as its a very niche weapon and give StG-44 for eveyone instead

We need to remove FG-42 as “infantry” weapon as its a very niche weapon in the Wehrmacht used ONLY within the Fallschirmjager (ironically there’s little to none Fallschirmjager units in the tech tree save for several legacy squads), instead we give them StG-44 as tier V “infantry weapon” as they are mass produced and even completely replaced the Kar 98k in few infantry divisions. For BR V SMG we give the Germans Suomi KP/-31 with 1000~ RPM

Remove AS-44 and Fedorov they are dream weapons of starving Soviets soldiers, all they could really hold in their hands would be Mosin or PPSh-41 box.

We need to put the BAR as a Rifleman’s weapon as it’s an Auto Rifle

PPSH-41 box slaps tho, it literally can melt through any german squads sans one filled with 9 men with good recoil control and aim

When eventually we get customizable Paratroopers I fully intend on giving them the FG 42 as intended

I would agree, instead of make believe T20 how about we use BAR with adjusted stats as BR V SF rifle fully equippable to everyone

haha. I have always been of the opinion that FG-42, M2 carbine, AVT-40 should not be basic infantry fire arms (and now T20 and Type Hei)

Also I dont think STG 44s should be for everyone

Sir, the StG-44 was designed as direct replacement to Kar98k and during the war they managed to field it as total replacement with the Kar98k used only as sniper rifle and grenade launcher

Be that as it may, then everyone else would demand BARs and Federovs/AS-44s on everyone…dont really want that either

classes made redundant at BR 5

It’s not a bad trade, to be fair.

BAR for everyone is doable as replacement for T20, AS-44 on the other hand will not do. Best I can think for USSR BR V is PPSH-41 as its still within realm of reality

I just dont think the Basic troop type should be making other classes, specialists redundant.

is it better than these Prototype Selectfires Meta? maybe a little. but still…doesnt help the immersion killer BR 5 has been for the longest time now. Just replaces 1 full auto with another on a “basic” Riflemen

I would have left Riflemen at Semi Autos only, (maybe higher damage rounds as its not competing with Boltys at BR 5). Keeps Class identity and that of the other specialists

It’s not “make believe”

it is when it never serve in combat during WW2

While we’re at it lets make anyone other than assaulter/crewman/pilot have only semi auto rifle, and lock assaulter class to a 4 man assaulter. I think it will greatly improve the variety of rifles being deployed in battles.

God, please spare the post of this guy he don’t
Even know what is saying

Bro so what if WE REMOVE ALL THE SF FROM THE GAME THIS GONNA BE LITERALLY SUBMACHINE GUN WAR

Nonsense, we don’t care and Even df don’t care about if stg as rifleman weapon is HA because HA as argument is not more than an excuse at this point…

FG-42 is here for being the rest of it’s life in the Game, it can be nerfed, buffed but it Will be there A L W A Y S

The same goes to the rest of SF without them the Game turns into a nonsense submachine gun war

that was the gist of the idea yes

If the new class being added this year is an Officer or some such, could give another option for SMG or AR in squads

I agree, but with this change there needs to be adjustments to most of the other tech trees as well.

No doubt, the tech trees need to be readjusted
