so you want to nerf the fire rate of PPS-43 and PPSH-41 stick too, right? those have way higher fire rate than other SMGs of their BR too.

You mean mp-41(p) which have more rof then simple ppsh-41?
how odd of you to argue with an event gun.
Have you checked sources for it? Sources may indicate higher fire rate.
Mp41(r) actually p would make it Polish. Anyway it doesnt really matter much that 90 rpm difference at 1000+ rpm. You do need a source for the fire rate though if you want to suggest a change.

But also I know that soviet soldiers reload ammo in svt by magazines, that explained in a million sorces. Despite that group of forum riders ask to cut it off. Why ain’t told them - there is sources that’s svt can be reload by magazine, huh?
“Can” and “commonly was” are two seperate words with different meanings.

Then move it to BR4 with the rest of the mag fed Semi-autos

you can do that, just as you can reload the SVT-38 by clips, which was often done in reality since mags were rare and hard to replace, I could go on a long rant about why clip reloading was superior back then but I spare you now.
Yeah, as @GROOT0404 said, all TT mag reloaded rifles are on BR4.
There is just no way around this change, unless you move SVT-38 to BR4.

He’s also unapologetically British, which is a obvious plus in my book.

Oh yes, leave soviets without semi auto on br3. Perfect decision my friend. Leave them Mosin rifle at all would be even greater! What about put mg-34 at br 4 there is best place for such stats?
so according to you, germany, to be balanced with soviets, should have
1.) MP-40 with PPSH-41 firerate at BR 3
2.) MG-34 with DP-27 firerate at BR 3
3.) somehow mag-reloaded Gewehr-41 on BR3
Is that right?
You want to equalize everything, so it’s just like battlefield 5?

I answer to those who try to nerf soviet arms again and again. Now they try to ruin svt
I hate this gun before fall of 2025 because of it accuracy, but only now it start to be a normal gun.
Well, ask to make reload speed of other semi better, don’t touch a good weapon!
G41 is worse than bolt actions - so wouldn’t be even unfair to begin with.
Seriously tho, ignoring dispersion, MG34 is personally not worse than MG42, so it being BR3 is compared to other MGs absolutely unfair - however because MGs have massive movement dispersion they are practically worse than SMGs in almost every situation besides on a bipod. Upcoming buff might change that, because simply laying down is 10 times faster and easier than looking for a solid spot to place your bipod.
SMGs are right now literally the only viable meta gun class in BR1-BR4 with some boltactions in BR2 or some event guns or SVT38 specifically being an exception.
Upcoming changes might buff MGs and Semi autos in such a way to make them viable alternatives to SMGs. We really need to wait and see how this will play out before looking at other changes.
SVT38 will definitely stay the much better weapon compared to G41 because of its poor reload speed AND two hit kill damage - BUT Euthymia did confirm that M1 Carbine and VG1-5 are getting rate of fire buffs, so maybe VG will be powerful enough to not make SVT38 nerf necessary.

Germans do have Vg1-5 but soviets don’t, no one cares btw. M1 carbine not a best one but still taking its place.
I like VG1-5 even now, my at gunners have it. But again - no one cares somebody ain’t have such a thing.
Well SVT38 and VG1-5 dont fill the same role for sure, but I am sure its technically possible to have both balanced.

Now its not options for su and Japs for such a weapon in br 3. Only a one semi auto some strangers here want to nerf. As always
Uh, I think you have to acknowledge that SVT38 getting nerfed to have equal reload speed of G41 to be a “justified” solution, no? Sure you can also buff G41 to get the same fast reload speed of SVT, but both options are fair for balance right? Or at least if we ignore “asymmetrical balance”.
You want one’s faction weapons to be better than another factions equivalent just because the other faction has more options??

This argument comes up quite often from the Soviet player base - which is true, Soviets do lack interesting variety in their TT, but saying lack of variety justifies having better equipment is very one dimensional.
