Yet another way to balance the fg-42

no no I like it

there is a comma if you can read (,)

New day, new “nerf FG” post. The brave allies "don’t cry at all.
It’s funny that the allies scoffed at the complaints about jumbo, but at the same time daily suggest that FG should be nerfed, even though within the game the difference in infantry weapons is minimal, because TTK is very low and any weapon kills the enemy in a fraction of a second.

Ah yes because a tank that a team can only have two of active is totally the same as an all class lmg that can have 25 in use with only 1 player

One tank has a cannon with high-explosive shells capable of killing 5-10 people per shot and an endless machine gun, as well as armor that makes the tank extremely hard to kill at a distance for infantry.
An infantry unit is always much worse than a good tank.
First, the fg opens late and isn’t available to everyone in the match, and second, it’s literally “more comfortable” than its counterparts. It doesn’t have more damage, just an expanded magazine and better recoil. This makes it impossible to kill your opponent before he kills you. Who shot first wins.
It’s a great weapon, but the endless attacks against it are ridiculous, because the soldier, regardless of the weapon, is vulnerable to other weapons, tanks, planes.

I hope someday they will add parachutists and they will have a fg.

“More comfortable”
It has no fucking recoil and is utterly controllable on a full run
It makes every other weapon absolutely obsolete

Who lands a shot first wins and with the controllability of the FG even if you miss you can just fire again before they can get their semi back on target

That has clump up and the shell has to actually hit an infantry to deal damage, vehicle mgs are less damaging than normal rifles, the jumbo’s AP is borderline useless against tanks and require you to be pin point. Now FG on the other hand only has low ammo count but that’s a non issue because ammo boxes exist and the axis can easily get one up because they only really defend on Normandy. Oh if you think I’m making it up, then you’re wrong since I’ve grinded more on axis than allies

Just so I don’t retype the world, this was my idea

It would probably work better and help keep the gun in the game, but in a more balanced format.

Use your faction’s strong stuff and stop whining.
Now can I scoff at allies who endlessly see the Axis OP everywhere? New day, new topic. Few threads complain about allies, but thousands about the Axis. The “crying Axis” jokes are long outdated.

Yeah my 3 BARs per LMG squad that still aren’t as powerful as the FG
Or the AVT which is alright in close to mid

That’s because like console players, axis is catered to on a silver platter with changes.
â€șSuck shit and can’t kill jumbo
â€șGet Panther in return
Granted that grey zone sniping with the Jumbo is mega aids, its 100% killable at the ranges that you normally fight

â€șCry about PPD in Moscow endlessley
â€șGet MkB

Meanwhile something like FG-42 was never restricted and continues to plague the game like a canker sore

I think you’re just biased. It’s silly and insane to assume that the developers are making the nation stronger on purpose. This is the level of Freemason conspiracies. You don’t see the big picture and the game stats they use to make decisions.
I played Moscow and Berlin for the Allies and we were literally destroying the Axis. Sure defeats have happened too, but they are rare and due to a weak team, not an imbalance.
The BAR is better than the FG in all characteristics, as well as in principle the best machine gun in Normandy, due to the fact that the reload is much faster and in conversion, you shoot more rounds in the same time as the MG, as well as less horizontal recoil, no prohibitive rate of fire and less dispersion.
I would trade my MG-34 for a BAR.

Panther was announced a long time ago, when jumbo was not yet so much discussed. Your argument is wrong.

I’m not.
It’s a trend that has been carried over from WT because German mains are the biggest wallets to draw from and they just so happen to be horrible at the game by and large.
Btw I have both FGs in Berlin and am well on my way to having it in Normandy as well
I’m speaking from using it frequently

Yes yes Germany suffers so much that a 20 round auto rifle with decent recoil is worse than a 20 round auto rifle with zero recoil AND a 50 round MG with next to no recoil
Germany is the underdog

Yeah you’re completely out of touch with reality
There’s even been a few after the Panther was released

As Stalin said “Quantity has a quality all its own”. Like in my Normandy setup i got 14 fg’s,4 stg, 5 mg 34’s in my 3 infantry squads. How is this comparable to the US having maximum 5 BAR’s in 3 infantry squads. And don’t come with the M2 Carabine, cause that thing isn’t comparable to the FG, it’s a much worse stg at best. Also the quote in the begging is irrelevant cause FG is just as capable as the BAR.

I’d liken it to a faster firing sawn off StG since it lacks any range lol
Great in CQC tho

Technically more so because BARa1, the gun that is the most similar to fg42, is locked to gunner class

Reptiloid Conspiracy. It is foolish to believe this.

Considering the rate of fire, the MG’s recoil is greater because the rate of fire is 1.35 times greater. The MG is also dominated by horizontal recoil, which cannot be compensated for. If you use the BAR perks correctly, its recoil will be less.
This guy @1035772 in the Russian thread did the calculations and proved that the Bar will fire more rounds in the same time as the MG. The reload is 3 times faster, and the magazine is not 3 times smaller. You end up sacrificing ammo “at a time” for greater efficiency. And yes, it is more convenient because it is easier for you to hide during a short reload. Again, I would trade the MG-34 for a BAR.

Panther was announced in May, then the jumbo was basically new. Osi’s displeasure with the jumbo has nothing to do with it.
