The Solothurn got this preemptive debuff because supposedly it is heavier than other AT rifles. This was wrong from the start, as the Type 97 AT rifle is 7-12 kg heavier than the Solothurn.

SolothurnS18-100
And it seems like the Solothurn is 20 kg lighter than in real life, which probably should be fixed.
@Euthymia07-live did the developers decide not to remove the prone requirement? i thought it was being discussed and nothing came of it
While I do agree, after using it more, it is usable as is, in fact its still fun, but yeah it needs looking at still. (I will continue to eat Stuarts with it in the meantime though).
Either the bipod system needs to be fixed so that it can instantly go down onto any surface or even leaned against a wall like in some other games.
That or reintroduce the old system of firing large guns taking stamina if not bipod’ed or prone.
No! Add lay down/mount requirement for Type-97.
And if someone can’t play with this, give Japan some captured bazookas.
Captured bazookas at BR1?
Of course no.
In fact, this option should be added to anti-tank rifles and heavy MGs.
still using the solothrum s18-100 at br2 and still enjoying the prone requirement of it Japan should get it and maybe allies and ussr can get a similar tool
I’m really just happy it’s br1 now, as it should.
It’s strange it’s the only AT rifle with this mechanic, but since I already went prone beforehand…
I don’t dare ask too much.
fix the type 97 dont break the s18
The Dev’s spend way to much time discussing and not enough time fixing. 
they moved it to br1 its fixed it does not need to become shoulder or hip fired
the type 92 is the one to ‘fix’
as if anti-tank rifles needed a nerf in the first place
its not a nerf its historical accuracy you chirp only when it suits you
without the prone requirement a semi auto would need be br2 as it was otherwise br loose all meaning
you cant move a gun from br2 ti br1 then buff it
the tyoe 92 is broken because the japanese have no other choice for br1 otherwise it would be br2
germany has no other choice only if you want to remove its other at rifles from the tech tree
No, because none of them are. All anti-tank rifles, semi or not, are BR1.
no i sad the 3100 was br2 when it first came out
and i said if not for the lack of a japanese br1 anti tank weapon the type 92 would be br2
i said both as semi autos should be br2
neither the type 92 nor s100 should be fired without going prone
I’d rather increase penetration and damage of AT rifles than make them more mobile if you are looking for a buff.
And what about PTRS ?
It’s also a semi auto AT rifle at BR1 and it can be fired from the shoulder without issue in game.

Sorry but the poor ptrs only compares in the fact that it is semi auto. If type 92 is forced to fire prone I can see a slight nerf to the ptrs from 75 to 60
Again the type 92 was only made br1 because Japan would not have a br1 at weapon. Otherwise
The s100 was at first a br2 weapon and an event weapon at that limiting its numbers while the 92 is tech tree
Ornerf the d
S100 stats to 92 levels because the type92 is already too good for br1
the s100 was only made br1 because it was the only at rifle at br2
the prone requirement needs to stand unless its hit hard with the nerf hammer
