Why don't we buff the Mkb-42(H) assault rifle?

As a devoted player participating in the Stalingrad campaign in Enlisted, I would like to offer some suggestions regarding the Mkb-42(H) rifle. It has come to my attention that German players often find themselves at a disadvantage against Soviet players equipped with the AVT-40 automatic rifle due to the significant bullet spread and low rate of fire of the Mkb-42(H) rifle. Therefore, I kindly request your attention to strengthen the Mkb-42(H) by either increasing its rate of fire or reducing its bullet spread in order to balance gameplay and enhance the overall player experience.

Firstly, I suggest considering an increase in the rate of fire for the Mkb-42(H) rifle. Currently, its rate of fire is relatively low, placing German players at a disadvantage when engaging Soviet players wielding the AVT-40 automatic rifle. Moderately increasing the rate of fire of the Mkb-42(H) rifle would allow German players to better counter opponents’ automatic fire, improving their competitiveness within the game.

Secondly, reducing the bullet spread of the Mkb-42(H) rifle is an essential improvement to consider. Currently, the significant bullet spread makes it challenging for German players to effectively engage targets at longer distances. By reducing the bullet spread, German players would be able to achieve more accurate shots, thereby balancing the gameplay between German and Soviet players.

I understand the importance of maintaining game balance and do not seek to make the Mkb-42(H) rifle overly powerful. However, considering its significance in the Stalingrad campaign and the imbalance against the AVT-40 automatic rifle, I believe moderate improvements are crucial to ensure fair competition and player enjoyment.

Lastly, I recommend maintaining an open line of communication with the player community, actively seeking their feedback and conducting testing. By engaging with the players, the development team can better understand their needs and expectations, and subsequently implement appropriate improvements based on their feedback.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I sincerely hope that the Enlisted team will consider these suggestions and work towards strengthening the Mkb-42(H) rifle to provide a more balanced and satisfying gaming experience.

Irrelevant due to the upcoming merge.

If anything the avt needs to be nerfed. It’s essentially a BAR that anyone can carry

MkB is arguably one of the best weapons in the game
It doesn’t need a buff

Sniper MkB is also one of the most egregious feats of handholding I’ve ever seen lmao

The only thing I’d like is less dispersion, because dispersion (especially that much) is just ridiculous. For the rest, mkb is pretty good as is, even stock.

The MkB is a beast. Low recoil, the decent RPM makes it even strong on middle and long distances. Sure it lacks some close distance qualities but the MP717 and Kiraly are up to the task.

Overall a very powerful gun that needs to adjustments IMHO.

But we all know WW1 battle rifle and horrible inaccurate AVS-SVT hybrid are more accurate than actual assault rifles.

Then what is the Fed? God?

As another mkb42 enjoyer, i don’t like a high rpm mkb (i don’t like sniper versión)
So, only a fix un dispersion can be fine

I’ve played moscow today and I must say, russians need more weapons really badly.
Their choise is really limited, poor guys have to run with fedorov all the time.

DF please give moscow allies more guns so they don’t have to use fedorov all the time

As someone who really likes the MKB, I don’t think it needs a buff. Maybe lower dispersion, but it had a fairly low rate of fire in real life if I remember so I’d rather not see that changed.

Yea

That monstrosity needs to be reclassified as a machine gun or an automatic rifle, and locked to specific classes as such. Same with the M2 carbine, there’s no need for them to be equipped to every soldier.

The Germans have an assault Kiraly 39M, for long-range Mkb 42. It’s just that the Axis is too dumb to play properly!

Haven“t seen Axis spam these in a long while honestly. There was a time when Berlin and Normandy were full of FG42 full auto spammers. People just use them like any other SAR from what I see.
