I know it’s hard to balance a game and to make every weapon attractive.
When I unlocked my first MG42 I had the feeling some was wrong.
Was it the weight? No
Was it the damage? No
Was it the Brrrrrrr? Yea… something is strange with the BRrrrrrrrr.
So I listen to the bullet and I noticed I have more sound of gun shot than bullet actualy shot.
I checked on wikipedia and I noticed that the firerate of the MG42 was 1500bpm and not 1000bpm.
So to keep a nice sound but to make it not too cheated, I understood the dev decide to to lower the fire rate.
It’s ok. It’s still a pleasant day at omaha beach.
But today I saw a nerf on my lovely Gewehr43. This is no machine gun, and it’s was the only weapon usable for both accuracy and assault. The FG42 was just not goot for long distance as it spread too much.
Then I realise… my god. This guy on the beach with a Yankee accent, they send him fight MG42 with a nerfed M1 Garand.
I watch with horror a video on youtube where somebody shot an entire magasin of 8 bullet in less than 1s.
Then I turned back on my game and saw “Arround 200bpm” I feel bad for them.
Give me back my Gewehr and the Cheated M1 Garand normal fire rate! sad kling
the only good thing about semi auto nerf applies to tunisia only. and i would actually consider that increasing MG42’s firerate to the more iconic 1500 would be more of a nerf to it, more specifically in bullet conversation
dont like the semi auto nerf, sure its makes boltactions more desirable, but come on… too many weapons are getting nerfed at the moment, pls dont overnerf everything until the “time to kill” is washed away to a call of duty dmg model.
guns need to be deadly and auto guns should be very powerful, balance should take place in your squad composition.
-better weapons = less active soldiers
This is what snipers are for in Normandy… and always were since release of that campaign.
For some reason, since OBT there are almost no snipers on anti-MG duty (just to give you an idea, in CBT MGs didn´t really last long since there was always at least one person with sniper or tank focusing on removal of mounted MGs right from start.
I hate to say it, but since OBT community has dumbed down in this aspect.
From what I have seen and played so far, semi-auto rifle nerf is not as bad as it is portrayed in forum. Sure, it is limiting, and yeah, a little bit higher rof should be in place. However, it is far from terrible (aside of M1 carbine).
using the sniper squad is useless, but having a sniper in one of your 3 squads is a huge advantage especially in defense, but yes no one uses them (except in axis moscow)
not entirely, especially semi auto snipers (squad) are good enough for the job (but given their limited accuracy and scope zoom, you can clearly see superiority of BA there in comparison) while still being more usable in mid-close range.
As for BA snipers, those are mainly support class, which is sadly not rewarded enough in the game.
