Rework shotguns

damage of 30 up to 14 meters, 12 DMG up to 20 meters , and scale down the damage from past 20M.

restrict them to radio operators.

Buff?

Yes.

Radio ops?

No. Weird choice. Rather engineers (and still assaulters for those using dual firearms)

All that needs to be done is to revert shotguns to how they were during CBT.

Shotguns are one of those things that just kind of drive me crazy because there so ridiculous, They weren’t really used in World War II for combat except in very limited and specific situations, like the Jungles of the Pacific, and even then in very limited numbers.

The problem is they arent a all class weapon

For one part of shrapnel. There’s 12 in every shot.

yeah the damage should be split for every single pellet, 30÷12 is 2.5 per pellet.

one of the problem is also the spread of the shells, from 20M distance you will miss like 70% of the pellets


with the reduced deviation upgrade

12x30=360 damage while each soldier has give or take 10HP

Overkill at it’s finest.

Nope. The damage of shotgun is 12x of number in the stat card.

I agree on that (maybe not the radio operators). To add on ,I think it should be allowed for pilots. (I.E. Luftwaffe Drilling)

Also shotguns should have an effective range of 45-60 meters with 00 buckshot and damage would be inconsistent past that due to dispersion, so there is no need to reduce it’s damage by a lot.

Shotguns should be as good as ones in Rising storm 2 (one hit kills up to 80m), but first you also need to buff semi autos a bit too since their recoil is too high and dmg is much worse than full auto guns and bolts.

Actually damage being worse than bolts was a change that was wanted so bolts have their own thing, any automatic / semi automatic weapon will usually down in one shot and kill with the second while bolt-actions will OHK unless against vitality / leg shots (I’d assume)

I bet you never use shotgun in real life. The damage you give is much lower than reality.

depends on the type of shot and gauge
