Its more similar to Breda PG Carcano (BR 4) and the SVT Bubnov Drum (BR 4). BR 4 is where this gun belongs.
Especially since there it cant get downtiered to bully BR 2’s.
It’s probably gonna get gimped with high spread and poor muzzle velocity. Pretty sure the IRL M1907 used a blunt nosed cartridge instead of a pointed spitzer round. Personally, I’m not particularly concerned.
As long as br4 can meet br5, all br4 weapons are practically worthless. If they actually move m1907 to br4, this will be the most braindead move ever. Unpopular bp changes plus trash rewards, nobody is going to play the game.
This is just a classical gaijin move to release new op weapons and deliberately create faction imbalance. Low tier Germany may become old Tunisia Axis again, but they think more people will play because of new op toys.
Even if you’re within spitting distance, you can’t one-shot someone with vitality and this thing ain’t automatic either and muzzle velocity means a lot especially when you’re fighting at range.
I think DF was drunk when they balanced M1907. G41 not only has insanely long reload but also much much worse reload speed that take ages. Certain popular Enlisted youtuber should now apologize for saying that they for sure would balance it by giving it awful recoil and muzzle velocity while in reality it will be yet another overpowered and undertiered gun owned by Americans. German bias amrite American mains?
br3 never had any semi auto rifles with 15 rounds until recently, and now they’re adding 20 round semi auto rifles, this is blatant power creep happening
who knows, maybe a year from now they’ll move the AKT-40 to br3?
You forget 3 little nuances
1 this weapon is not in leveling, it is for a combat pass
2 the maximum amount per account is 4 pieces
3 perk on survivability we remove the advantage in damage
it does not have a 27 second reload, we have the full stats already because the gun IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. The reload looks to be somewhere around 2-3 seconds
