It wasn’t a nerf it was just a correction of a bug. And Germany should get that Mp40 either way but with similar bad dispersion.

This is not a bug, but a feature. Box magazines appeared later than drums. This means that the quality of the PPSh with a box magazine should be higher due to less wear and tear and better quality of assembly and manufacturing of parts due to the production established by the middle of the war.
Tiger 2 having tank superiority was not a bug or imbalance but a feature however.
And the Soviets have ISU-152. Only no one adds it.
And the Germans have the MP-40 with increased ROF. But also no one adds it either.
And why is EVERY OTHER WEAPON than not affected by that supposed rule?
Some prototypes where made to higher standards than the final product (due streamlining efforts for construction) and yet they are still stuck with terrible/worse dispersion.
Your reason is a load of bull crap.
Prototypes are prototypes because they are crap.

Makes sense, if it ended up being the better weapon, they wouldn’t have halted production at the prototype stage. 
It would have been produced and fielded in numbers.
The magazine has no bearing on the accuracy of the gun though?
The box magazine was more reliable and cheaper to make than the drums, neither of which is a factor for how the gun works in the game, there is no reliability mechanic and all guns of the same BR costs the same.

Or just a pain in the ass to manufacture and 10x the cost in both labour or material compared to the alternatives.
I was joking about how later magazines were used on later SMGs, which are better quality because they are less worn and better made to begin with. That’s all.
Correction of broken stat is not a nerf, it’s a fix,

A developer can say any nonsense without being accused of bias. I don’t believe it could have been a bug for so many years.

And anyway, I just made another topic mentioning MP-40 with increased ROF to increase the chance of its appearance. And PPSh is just an excuse.
i was bold and used to think like you once! then i got a 2 year timeline to fix the bipods to the knee.
How about we don’t have a laser annihilation stick for a nation that already has the best semi auto in the tier?

Give Germany MP-40 with increased ROF and send ZH-29 to BR3. And everything will be fine.
MP40 has almost triple the pre-fix PPSh Box disperion
It, in fact, would absolutely not be fine by any means
I also want to point out that ZH-29 has actually better stats than Gewehr 43. Do you guys even check the spreadsheet before making those posts?
