Title says enough.
Well, i do not think that the developers did well with the last update.
Why not to give all bolt-action rifles, even the low-level ones (M1903 Springfield, M1907 Mosin, Gewehr 33/40, Kar98k in some campaigns and so on), 100% oneshot, so high-level bolt-actions (Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, Kar98k, Vz.24, especially M1895 Winchester and so on) are useless, let alone the semi-auto? Nah, bad idea.
Increase weapons’ visual recoil, so its impossible to aim? Nah, bad idea.
Well… We\ve seen a lot, havent we? (sarcasm).
But what about making one fraction’s weapons worse, increasing SMG’s recoil, making that strange horisontal recoil to the right, decreasing damage, breaking semi-autos, once again increasing visual recoil and the actual recoil, so the weapon becomes really bad, especially if we compare it with the other side’s weapons, while leaving 'em unchanged? That’s a good idea, isn’t it? Nope.
Sooo, let’s speak about the last moment…
Just guess, what I’m talking about!
Battle of Moscau.
A long time ago, Moscow balance was consisting of just one thing: soviets killing bots.
Before this update, the balance was saying: “Well, this battle is “fair” 10vs10? I DON’T CARE! PPSh-41, AVS-36? Nagant M1895? ROKS-3? You must be kidding me, i don’t care lol”. Germans have Kiraly 39M, which is just perfect with ROF (just enough, not more or less than you need), accuracy and damage (3 bullets are always enough to kill anynone), MKb 42(H) which is a perfect weapon on medium distances. Oh, almost forgot - germans acquire more reinforcements for capturing the objective, and they capture those objectives waaaay faster, while the soviets are slower than… uhhh… nevermind. It means, that soviets had worse weapons (though their tanks were undestroyable by other tanks), and they ALSO capture objectives waaay slower. Looks funny… (#отключитегазенваген! just a meme from russian section)
But, soviets had… THE AVS-36. The hero they needed, but AVT-40 is better anyways. We have what we have… I mean, we can even forgive this gun a lot of bad hit registrations (when you shoot at the enemy, but he doesn’t take any damage), bad accuracy, it had very good ROF and, the most important, recoil. And now…
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?!
AVT-40 and AVS-36 have almost the same recoil (AVS has 1 more vertical, but less 7 horisontal), but AVS somehow has much more noticeable horisontal recoil to the right (let alone the Sniper one, for some reason it has more vertical recoil), while the AVT-40 is still OK.
As a conclusion, I say: Battle of Moscow is now completely broken.
Minimum: give us back the old AVS-36. WHAT’VE YOU DONE TO MY BABY?!?!
It would be better to: give us back the old AVS-36, change MKb 42(H) to Sniper automatical ZH-29.
It would be very nice to: give us back the old AVS-36, change MKb 42(H) to Sniper automatical ZH-29, give the Allies AVT-40 and the Axis automatical ZH-29. Or trophied AVT/AVS, as an option.
It it English translation of this topic: Почему АВС-36?
