M1 Garand - 2 less shots, mediocre reload time
G41 - Abhorrent reload time. Only 30 rounds total instead of 50.
Type Otsu - 5 shots. Least damage of all rifle-caliber SA rifle primaries.
SVT-38 - Fastest ADS time, no apparent flaws.
You might think this is just envy, but you need to consider that, at present, the ZH-29, G43, SVT-40, weapons that are relatively average and considered “improvements” over their predecessors, are considered BR4.
Considering that depriving the soviets of their BR3 SA rifle is unreasonable when every other faction has one, in the interest of balance, I suggest removing the magazine-based reload and giving it the same stripper clip reload implemented on the Type 4 and G41. (Though I would also appreciate lowering the Type 4 to BR3, and giving the G41 its total 20 missing ammo)
Personally I think it can work this way, since the rifle can be loaded in 2 ways, when it obtains all the stars it can be loaded with the magazine, while it does not have them, it will be loaded with 2 stripper clips
Yeah, let’s kill whole BR1 and BR2 because nobody is using few weapons on high BR queue.
Definitely not. And the only reason why SVT 38 is on BR3 is lack of any other soviet rifles that would fit this BR atm.
Otherwise svt would be on BR4 as well.
While the twice as fast reload of the SVT-38 is unreasonably better than the rest of the BR3 semi-autos, there aren’t many BR3 Soviet weapons, this might be an off topic issue, but I would appreciate a few weapons added.
Lend-leased weapons could be added at this very moment actually.
Shouldn’t that have to do with the Soldier’s rank? A Rifleman III shouldn’t reload like a Rifleman I since the Rifleman III is not a beginner rank like Rifleman I.
To be fair, i think the logic the devs followed here is that Soviets had semi autos active in the war earlier than Germany - while the Garand was mass deployed.
This game is not completely balanced in all aspects, so it doesn’t pose a serious problem at all. The Germans has KT in BR5, Americans has P47 in BR5, and AP4C in BR4, all of which have unique advantages and far more powerful than their counterparts in other factions.
Even complaining about KV1 is even more reasonable than SVT38 in BR3, because KV1 does indeed crush infantry and tank players in BR1 and BR2, but SVT38 Never Gets A chance.
At BR2 there is J1 and especially the Puma and something else I might have forgot to add.
Because it misses like 50% of the stuff/ is not set in stone.
Tiger II currently faces Shermans because DF thinks its better to add the other dozen Shermans instantly instead of adding the Pershing tanks right away. And even after Pershing, they could add more tanks like M36 or even the T34s.
Same applies to German planes though the FW and Ju188 are not as bad as a Sherman vs Tiger 2.
A week ago, when I was in the German BR2, I often saw KV1. I have played nearly 250 German games since merge, of which at least 70% were in BR2.
Even in the matches of BR1-3, 4J was a paper car that Soviet tanks except T60 could penetrate, while the KV1 was not. Indeed, KV1 is far from invincible, but the key is how much damage it caused to your team before being destroyed. At least, this thing is much more threatening than a few riflemen holding SVT38.
7 second reload, For an IS2 tanker it’s a speed that’s impossible even to dream of.
IS2 1944 seems to be a match for KT H, but in reality, it’s completely different. The gap between IS2 and KT H may be five times that between SVT38 and G41. I think DF should first promise to install a new Soviet tank, even if it may be a prototype or a model that has not been on real battle.
Guns that live completely in two worlds because their matching logic in BR is different. G43 and zh29 are completely useless because they are BR4, while G41 is useful in BR1-3 matches.
Infantry weapons and vehicles are certainly two completely different concepts in the vast majority of cases, but they do have one thing in common: they are both part of the game’s balance.
