The StG44 is a weapon that was often mass-produced and equipped at the end of the war, and more than 400,000 were built. I think it is more reasonable to use it as a BR5 rifleman weapon than to use the small-scale production FG-42.
But first, we have to remove its strange RPM buff as an assaulter weapon.
The RPM of StG should be 500-600.
The MP43 is classified as a “submachine gun” by the German army, so it can be retained as an assaulter weapon and still got the “assaulter buff”.
The mkb should become infantry weapons because is a fairer counter to the M2 carabine of US, mp43 and stg44 have similiar stats and dispersion just a small difference between each other, so they should be foldered and keep as assaulter weapon
M2 should be assault weapon, cz Thompsons are awful
My suggestion is to change the StG 44 to the “correct” rate of fire
So it will no longer have similiar stats with the MP43.
Sturmgewehr should be equipped by rifleman.
-6 angry mohawk guys are quickly approaching your position-
in my conception:
MkB 42 => BRIV assaulter
MP43/1=> BRV assaulter
StG 44 => BRV rifleman
there will be no duplicates roles
Or we could have two seperate versions of STG. One normal version for rifleman, and second one for assault team (the current one)
Or we could just put MkB or MP43 into role of rifleman weapon.
I would make this suggestion because at that time the Germans believed that the “Sturmgewehr” would be a new generation rifle, so the StG should be a rifleman weapon according to their doctrine, while the MP43 was still a submachine gun, so it’s an assaulter weapon.
“assault rifle” 44 for rifleman
“machine pistols” 43 for assaulter
“machine carbine” 42 for ???
After sight buff, Thompson are pretty strong
I feel like this is going somehow into the wrong direction. Do we basically need to have copy paste equipment for each soldier type?
I’d even say that US/JP at least assaulter automatic weapons are generally worse than the rifleman autos at BR V.
I’d rather say that riflemen shouldn’t have any techtree select fire rifles that have auto as default and all those should be default semi. If the gun is auto only → assaulter / gunner gun.
Probably an unpopular opinion.
Definitely not. I just proposed few ideas. Tbh, I don’t think this suggestion overall has high chance for success.
But I definitely wouldn’t mind it, as Germans are very well known for their AR.
StG is even famously considered to be first assault rifle ever. (I am not saying it is, just that it is considered)
And they really wanted to equip every soldier with StG, that’s known as well.
Fair enough, i just feel that on higher BRs the classes are already losing their uniqueness and I already wouldn’t see a point in bringing assaulters for BR 5 jp if i wanted to run most meta squads.
We should rather go into the opposite direction with this, otherwise there’s only gonna be 9-man rifle squads everywhere.
Damn that sound… 
Agree, that’s why I am of opinion of nerfing all SF rifles in some way.
Ok but… can we get the bent barrel tanker version for those guys too then?? 7.62 corner shooter here we come
Mkb42 was an Engineer weapon during Stalingrad campaign era, idk why they removed it from them even tho that gun wasn’t that powerful at BR5 as the devs thought.
I used them mostly with my Sniper squad where i had 3x sniper mkb, and 2x mkb 42 for Engineer and Assaulter so just 5 people nothing game breaking, with current MM it would be 4x mkb (with 3 of stg44 rof) and 1x stg44.
Game breaking? I don’t think so there are so many way more op premium or event squads. Even 9 rifleman with mkb42 ars worse than assaulter squad with STG44 and Conders especially if it looks like this:
They should bring it back for Engineers and also let Rifleman and Radioman to carry them. FG42 should get a buff to the accuracy to make them better at semi auto and also at full auto, recoil is the worst of all BR5 rifles. Since Americans now have T20 and M2 there are no argument that why they shouldn’t.
It’s weird how BR4 Breda PG Carcano is a better and way more accurate gun than BR5 FG42/II, it needs a buff for sure. Rof doesn’t matter in semi since it’s capped so ignore that green color on FG42/II.
Yes delete FG 42 I&II, AVS36&AVT40, TypHei Automatik and T20
Wheeze
They’re both small scale the frick you mean? “Mass produced” yeah come back when you hit several hundred thousand for a small arm
Can we at least buff the damage of semi auto’s so the game makes sense? Triple and quad tapping someone with an M1 Garand just feels wrong
Imo FG should be moved either to assaulter or gunner and STG should be rifleman weapon at BR5. MP44 would remain assaulter weapon at BR4.
This would imo be a nice blend of balance and HA.
