The semi-automatic rifle's rate of fire has been weakened, yet another bad update that ruins the game experience

Noone tolds me. I jsut used them. Vickers - on the british side, BREN - like a trophy. Not so “laser”, but they are pretty accurate. I can firing effectively with Vickers on 200+ on semi.

Why does anyone care about accuracy of MGs?

At least give those weapons same damage as bolt acitons rifles…

they actually updated the Vickers model and it’s better now. Not great but its much better than its previously unusable state

Yah, but that would make bolt actions obsolete when u get ure first semi (it still does). I think they want them to still be usable at later levels of campaigns on long ranges

As for Ally side of Tunisia - bolt actions are still in hard use until Engeeners 2 with M1 Garands unlocked. M1 Carbine is close-range weapon only. And british bolts are very and very nice.

Yah, and Garand make every previous bolt actions obsolete. Same at moscow campaign when u unlock engies 2 with u first semi. Like every semi does in every campaign. Bolt weapons shoots slower, but have higher dmg and perform better in longer ranges, imo thats ok. And M1 Carabine is joke, they shouldn’t nerf it, it’s not even good now in close range.

you know lee-enfield n4 full star is now better than a garand :smiley:

100% disagree, I’ll take a No.4 or No.3 over the Garand.
I can’t seem to aim as well with semi autos.

I prefer WWI iconic SMLE Mk. III :slight_smile: When playing on british side, of course. AFM, playing on Axis is moar interesting.

getting final smg at lv8 is great advantage :wink: the only displeasure the kar remains superior to the italian bolts

On german side - completely agree. As for soviets - I still running pre-revolution mosins because of level. And they are pretty accurate.

NO! Carcano M38 is much better then Kar.

in my opinion no: the kar remains superior for damage, reload speed, stats after upgrading and for sight, m38 is an excellent bolt-action but for ease of use the kar98 wins (also it goes without saying that you can use it upgraded already from the beginning)

Ok and its this sort of statement, that will drive all to only use smg/lmg etc, and buggered if iam going to use a engineer anymore with a crappy semi auto, when your ment to loose to a smg/lmg

I’m really PEEVED by this update as despite finishing my Allies Normandy Campaign, I focused heavily on making my squads be somewhat realistic with using primarily M1 Garands and Carbines rather than the meta M2 Carbine. I could fill my squads with M2s, but even then I don’t find that fun. (Yes, I hate running meta, but I don’t care if other people do it since they can do it. You have fun the way you want to have fun.)
Either way, I really think the devs should revert this update as not everyone has access to the end-game equipment and definitely will not be encouraged to continue if their existing semis are dogshit and up against FG42s/M2s/AVS-36s/(idk insert whatever here that sounds like it’d fit)

Sure, You can disagree with me, exacly like 80%+ palyerbase who disagree with you, by bringing any semi (except carabine) over bolt action. U have to be blind to not seeing that, and it’s natural order of things, exacly like autmatic weapons displace semi auto weapons. With limitation of semi auto ROF there is chance to bring back BA to favor.

Lol i disagree.
You know You could just one tap slower and not spam button like crazy on longer rangers.
It takes 5 min to get used to weapons optimal rate of fire at longer distance, literally this was already in game, this shitty update didn’t improve anything unless you get parkinsons.

Calling a nerf improvement is some next level mental gymnastics

Nerfing things can improve game expirence, in example: planes. Do u remember times when u can took plane right as game start? Thanks god they nerf it.

If comes to semi, imo decreasing ROF is to drastically but overall that can be a good change.

Yah, but this update nerf them significantly in close combat, not mid-long range, where they still perform nicely. They just shouldn’t touch m1 carabine or vg 1-5

He though it was improvement to the m1, which it wasn’t.
Nerfs can be good, like in plane cases, but from plane perspective it wasn’t good, as it was harder to get 30 kills.
I don’t even care, already got garand in tunisia so this only makes my games easier.
Low level camapigns suffer even more though, so most of my teammates will suck even harder, nice
