M2 is upgraded version of M1. M1 and M2 had same purpose and that’s to equip soldiers that are in need of weapon but need something stronger than pistol and something not as heavy as standard service rifle to defend themselves from the enemy.
So if we bring some realism to it every class expect rifleman, assaulter and machinegunner should have possibility to be equipped with M2.
→ restrict it to certain classes
i would.
perhaps i get in my line up the two machinegunners squads and use the offencive one with fgs, weather the defencive ones with mg42?
that’s an alternative for sure
I’m complaining?
The alternative is the ammo limit we got, and it works despite your whining.
Do you know where you are right now?
True but it’s also a game and as far as the game is concerned right now the M2 is better than a Garand.
Ammo counts could be rebalanced to account for that and make it a viable choice, but my hangup is- what do we give German support classes?
Why do so many people think so one dimensional. There is a thing called “interaction” and it includes interaction between fixes / suggestions we have on this forum.
I am neither German nor American.
But most of people here are very passionate about nerfing Germany.
It unbalances the game and it’s killing the game.
That’s all.
Germany OP or Germany Weak has nothing to do with this.
FG42 should not be available to every god damn trooper, Period.
It creates a full auto meta which is awful for a ww2 game.
It opens a Pandora box which never ends as shown with FG42.
What’s funny is that it’s so bad in general use it doesn’t need to be restricted. The only real use it has is in close range and to shoot from a hip. Iron sights are unusable in full-auto and if you switch to semi-auto you have basically M1 but with more ammo which you will not even be able to use because you will get killed by G43 or FG42.
There you go, never ending Pandora box
So it’s usefull as we have CQC run and gun meta. Actually it belongs to the one of the most usefull weapons if this sentence is true.
Well M2 should’t be in Normandy at this point. It came to Europe at the end of the war.
FG42 used as rifle. what’s your point?
I do play US and German.
I really can not understand.
That’s what happens when you make rules and then you make exceptions. Exceptions start being pain in the butt and they start multiplying.
And FG42 didn’t equip nearly 0,1% of German armed forces.
It did not even equip 10% of the Fallschirmjäger.
But no, lets give it to everyone like it is a candy.
It’s more like SPRAY AND PREY
I do agree it’s like giving submachine gun to every class (but not very good one)
How can’t you understand that FG42 is a OP gun. It was OP gun and should be OP, same as MG34 and MG42.
That is the main reason why it should not be given to everyone as it creates a never ending power creep or in other words Pandora box.
Selective-Fire Weapons 100Rounds
M2 Carbine 30/60
FG42 20/60 because 12.0 Hit Power or 20/80 i don’t care.
Semi-Auto Rifles 30Rounds
M1 Garand 8/24
Gewehr 43 10/30
There i balance the game.
It doesn’t have to be good one. In CQC it’s better than a rifle, that’s all that matters.
When we lock it to (for example) assaulters only, we can buff it and make it competitive to other SMGs.
So lets limit the rounds instead of guns?
Your idea is on level on how to end world hunger? Use nukes…
