I’m comparing the stock versions, I don’t even have the need to spend bronze order to upgrade my fg42, they are already strong as it is I prefer spare them for other things.
Me too don’t like waste ammunition on full auto, but other players actually do it and assure them kills.
In stock both are shit, gewehr a bit worse piece of it, but i have a ton of gewehrs that are easier to upgrade than 6* rare fg’s
And not OP.
/Closed
The fg42 is not OP, the fact That is available to all infantry and the direct counter is the m1 garand is OP
(lvl 7 vs lvl 23)
(yep, pretty direct)
Muricans have to be fully rebalanced, and that’s unarguable. And dev’s won’t ever do something with this broken balance. So no cry would help.
Not going to read all the comments so sorry if its already written (read a few anyway).
why not lock the weapon to semi auto only? and maybe reduce the damage a little bit (saying this with ignorance and try to find the balance)
Oh and my main campaign is axis normandy.
That what Im saying the only decent battle rifle Americans have is an m1 garand that confronted with the fg42 is absolute shit.
If the Americans did have a decent counter the fg42 would not be a problem on Normandy.
i would prefer all automatics to be restricted but that’s just me
Dev’s don’t care and don’t want to do anything
So i don’t care too. Normandy is a shit, even tho i have 30 and 32 lvls where. I’m just a minmaxer, no sane person should play this shit company
Berlin>Moscow>Normandy>Trashniss
I don’t really like the idea, i think most of them are good, i still use an entire squad with kar, and all guys with automatic die with one shot so… not a big problem.
it’s more for historical purpose than anything else since automatics weren’t standard issue until korea
Even with fullstar and perks it will have pretty big recoil, especially horizantal. So no.
I love how you all here “prove” your arguments even without some field tests.
FG42 with the -40% vertical recoil reduction perk - YouTube ironically some of us has done some field tests and i don’t know about you but this isn’t big recoil =/ for a 3 star FG
I see what you mean, but anyway, this is a game based on history, is not history, reality and realism is not the same thing, and we need to balance the fun here not the history, if not then when we play on Berlin we should have soviet team with 20 players and 5 on axis…
laughs with my m2
out of all thing balanced/imbalanced you choose fg42 to cry about, amazing
/ALMOST maxed normandy allies and maxed 5 star everything axis
If allied planes (x1 spawn instead of x2 if someone takes the nooby plane) werent bugged and playerbase didnt suck game would be better.
I have no cries about balance except my clearly lacking brain teamamtes, if i team up with ONE PERSON I almost always win
it’s more so the fact that the fg42 is an lmg, similar to BARa1 even down to the dispersion, being given out like candy while m2 kicks like a bitch and does pitiful damage in comparison. ok cool you can outskills the FG42 with an m2, i can to and i can still go on large killstreaks with the m2 since that and m1c are the only guns i give to my soldiers.
but that is the difference; the axis teams are almost always filled with idiots that doesn’t have game while the allies were almost always better skilled than axis soldiers
Last time you played normandy was when?
I played approx 50 games as Allies past 3 days, won approx. 40 AND:
Allied lobbies are full of:
snipers who contribute nothing to the teamcmon man, what I see allied players doing is crying on the forums while all I see is sheer stupidity on their side.
bar rifle wrecks people left and right, m2 if used by skilled player VASTLY outperforms fg42 imho,
mp43 better mid-long but thompson WRECKS people and mp43 according to my maxed out friends (3 more levels)
All allies need is balanced lobbies with veterans and newbies AND the plane bug fixed so I can bomb that panther if no1 else can.
Garand is everything you need in your hands to be able to kill everyone.
but i hate the garand, it’s such a lowly gun
Biasedboy 
since its nerf its pretty useless now compared to fg42 which only got a ammo nerf the grand lost its accuracy and damage
Hey, an AA gun on a beach is great, free skills for all axis… if they move away from the MG…
