Currently, FG42 is still, and even more powerful than LMGs. And due to it can be used for many roles, it’s still pretty overpower.
But it’s ammo is already been nerfed to only one spare magazine. And due to it was excellent performance in history, no need to nerf its stats. (Though, now ingame, FG42 are too common in contrast to history.)
Now, consider:
Increase ammo for AVS36 to 15/30. Thus to balance it in Berlin.
But for Moscow, ZH29 would be significant weaker than AVS. Thus, also boost ZH29’s ammo, or replace the 10 rounds magazine to 20 rounds. And make it 20/20.
PS: I rarely play Normandy, so dont know what’s happening there. But it seems, overpower planes is there’s problem.
If you like die in buldings because a plane drops a bomb 100m away you are lucky because this happen at every match
Ok
For the topic
Fg42: is a pandora box is to good for replace here withaut a good alternative but the dev balance with ammo as you say make a good job for avoid nerfing so for now is ok
Avs36: both moscow and berlin are meh not superior to an svt38/40 but the wapons have full auto so if you plan go full cqc is good, for ammo I do not express myself because I am not an expert but if it were for me a buff to the ammopouch it would not be a bad idea for resolve the problem
Zh29: wen i try the weapon taken from the ground seemed to me superior to an avs in terms of stability but here it would be better to ask one who uses it so sorry if I can not give a concrete opinion
About balancing FG42:
This is a pandora box. Adding it in its present shape was a shot in the foot.
I would suggest to make it a class specific weapon, done. We already have quite a few weapons that don’t have their direct equivalent so it wouldn’t be any different.
Does the ZH-29 really need more ammo? You get 60 rounds (10rnd mags) when using Large Ammo Pouches. You should be able to deck every soldier out if you’re past level 19, as you’d have tons of unused Bronze Orders to spend on Large Ammo Pouches, Healthkits, and Explosion Devices. I guess one extra magazine wouldn’t hurt the AVS-36 and FG-42 that much though.
