Sleeping on Solothurn S18-100

ever heard of something like hiding behind a wall/tank wreck or any other obstacle or that Grb-39 can also go prone?

See it has a bipod so use it for once

And their guns suck no matter the category

And this information came to you in a dream did it?

To break it down, and to compare the PTRS vs the Solothurn, One is far more mobile and can be fired at any angle especially vs aircraft, while the other is extremely stationary with very limited firing arcs but as a trade off can pen a bit more which isnt exactly a great point when all AT rifles can easily pen BR1 tanks and can struggle against BR 2, of which in particular,

The Grant/Lee, T-28E and T-50 all still can resist the Solothurn despite its higher penetration values, and to counter BR3 vehicles, you need to get extremely close and still to deal real practical damage, more importantly here, damage that couldnt be achieved with other BR1 AT rifles, since shooting tracks off tanks isnt something that makes a AT rifle BR2 worthy.

This weapon allows players at BR1 who will always be uptiered to fight upwards, while if at BR2, its a gimmick weapon at best. If you really think it needs to remain at BR2, it should have the bipod only feature removed to at least allow it to be reasonably used.

While it’s fine for Japan to bring even more usable AT rifle with 10 less of pen to BR1. Dude you should stop posting you just keep embarrassing yourself with each post

average japanese main type 97 at rifle

im not going to name the guns at br 5 because you know what they’re. the MG are the best in Germany, their tanks are top tier stuff, their planes can shoot down other planes, their auto rifles are good. it is a fair fight in higher tiers and in mid tiers. at br2 the only thing bad about Germany are SMGs while the MG cover that gap and not to mention all their options in AT tools that other nations has to steal. you can compete vs any nation with ease since it depends on the team

Much better, changes everything.

And? Two is still not plenty, especially if it is about the same rifle anyways.

Ah yes, “Their planes can shoot down other planes”, the BA’s to BR5 argument, a classic really.

The KTH is strong, but the soviets have the best MG, the WA the best aircraft, again the soviets with the best AR, the WA with the best SF rifle.

Like I dont like how Dreg overly moans about it, because he takes away from the valid points of injustice the axis suffers from, despite that here he is right.

I already said it should have the same bipod requirement that the S-18 has and clearly youre basis to Germany saying its weak at BR2. ill say it again like the many times before S-18 is a grab from the battle pass and can hold up easily in its BR2 rating and still do work in BR3

There again with the cope. Stop moving goalposts and tell me the name of a gun that is better than post buffed Fedorov MG/Avtomat. You can’t name them because they don’t exist. And no it’s not STG44 as that gun is completely inferior and got dethroned long time ago by AS-44.

such as? Yeah again no examples

such as? Yeah no examples. Besides your beautiful Tiger gets destroyed in 1-2 Panzerfausts 60

Bipod planes can also destroy jets. Nice argument mate with no examples. Do you think that Me262 is the best jet in the game too? Don’t make me laugh. BR5 Ger is a sad joke.

Super Hei Auto + T20 are vastly superior. And G43 Kurz got nerfed to death

Rest of your post is delusional rambling about mediocre MG13 being as good as Uragan or M1A1 Tommy lmao :joy: :joy: :joy:
I’m glad you know about Panzefausts now your argument about the superior German tanks are null as they die like any other tank in 1-2 hits. So what Germany has at BR2-5? Not much.

the allies and Russians AT rifles underperform vs the S-18 and if you can’t lay down to shoot a at rifle just go to the other AT tools and run around like a headless chicken. the S-18 and its requirements makes the tool unique and it stands out by a lot because of it while still being able to do work

wdym underperform, your just pulling words out of a magic hat at this point. It trades penetrating power for mobility, something all the other AT rifles dont have to worry about.

The Solothurn can remain unique just by its bipod only feature, it going to BR1 doesnt make it not unique. All it does by sitting at BR2 is completely overshadow what is otherwise a very cool weapon, for no real reason at that.

But you cant have it with both, either it can remain at BR2 but can be fired from the hip like all the other AT rifles, or it can go to BR1 and keep that feature.

Side note, that feature is dumb and they should have brought back to original system where is costs stamina to hip fire it, preventing you from spam firing like you can with the Type 97 and PTRS.

I dont have to list them because people that play Germany knows the guns.I can 100% guaranty if I played vs Russians with germans guns I could win. t20 is only good at close range unless youre burst firing it, the Japan faction isn’t even included because Germany doesn’t fight them, the Russian guns have horrible sights while germans have decent sights. what’s actually funny is that germans have amazing tools but yet they cry because they can’t out shoot a Russian 2 feet away if they shot at the same time. its literally a strategy game with a team and if youre running in like a headless chicken than yes they’re stronger but if you use your brain you can beat them with ease

the penetration of the S-18 is higher then the Russians or allies AT rifles. while with the S-18 you can penetrate the front but with the other nations you’ll need to go around and shoot them. I still would want to have the bipod requirement and keep it at br2 because you dont have to start carrying the second you see the tank. you can hold your gun while you get into a building or find a spot to lay down

My lord, is this the argument of a 5yr old child?

I mean for a start list the weapons, youve written far more that it would take to list them anyway.

Also no, russian sights are perfectly operable, I mean personally it varies gun to gun in the game, there is no faction with better or worse sights. This is a mental claim.

Ofc Japan matters, not to mention the balance of the BR system has to match no matter who plays who, there is more important than even now we are beginning to look at a soviet vs Japan campaign, hence why the event was apparently cancelled.

And this part, the infantile approach youve taken at the end, name calling is what you have degraded yourself to, need I even say the clear sign of someone whos lost an argument?

everyone agrees that its pointless on BR2 because of GrB - I bet the devs are thinking about nerfing GrB already because of that haha

I mean the only BR2 tanks the Solothurn reliably front pens is the Crusader, something even 38/39 can do easily as well, and the Scott, Which you can do with a knife if you go from the top.

On the other hand, the Grant/Lee requires shooting for weakspots, the T-50 is hit and miss depending on your elevation (Ill get back to this point) and the T-28E is again a weakspot hunt.

So even at BR1 the advantage of higher pen is a bit negligible. I mean its in essence, the cousin of the gun on the Pz2, oh which whos gun is struggling at BR1 as is.

Also you keep dodging the point, of how buggy the bipod system is, I have countless times been unable to mount MG’s or etc in windows because it just breaks down, either giving me an arc of about ±3 degrees or just straight up not even allowing me to bipod the weapon.

I know for a fact Im not the only one with that issue, its just not a game breaking issue for weapons since you can shoulder fire MG’s in bursts or tap fire which I do with the Madsen and Breda a lot to control them a bit. Alas it becomes an issue when a weapon isnt allowed to be fired when not bipod’ed.

there has been no name calling. FG42 great sight easy to see with some recoil, mg42 great sight, stg 44 another gun with a good sight, gerwehr 41 easy sight to see through, mp38 and mp40 good sights but shoots slow , Breda mod 30 another gun with good sights, and theBeretta m38a good sights easy to see. while the fedorov has a block as a sight, tokarev has worst sights than mg42 and shoots slower, Madsen has a whole mag covering the left side of the screen and shoots slower, DP 27 covers bottom of your scree and shoots slower than German MG
