Adjust Farquhar's rifle damage to the average values

At the moment, the Farquhar rifle has a damage of 16.8. This raises a lot of questions, to put it mildly. The maximum damage of semi-auto rifles in the game is 13.2. Most rifles have a damage of 12.7. So why does this rifle have such a high damage? It uses British 7.7 rounds, which are weaker than German 7.92 rounds, Soviet 7.62 rounds, and even weaker than American 7.62 rounds and Italian 8mm rounds.

I suggest reducing the damage of Farquaad to 12.7, as the 16.8 damage is completely illogical

Typical USA buff for no good reason.

Because British .303 sem-auto rifle deal 16.8, same as Turner SMLE.

Also because it can came at the same time as the Mondragon with 30 rounds. Should we ask for the Mondragon damage to be lowered to 14.4 to be inline with the G41 ?

Time to bring all German LMGs to 25.4 dmg per hit then just because they use same 7.92 round as their rifles. Do you see where your twisted logic will lead? :clown_face: :clown_face: :clown_face:

The British .303 is weaker than German, Soviet, and American ammunition. Why should its damage be higher?

Why not. Besides, the 7.57 was also stronger than the British .303

Show me at least one semi-automatic rifle with a damage of 16.8. What is Gerat’s damage?

It’s much lower (pathetic 14.4 at br4) due anti-german bias of Gaijin.

I guess a weapon like this is only a problem once people notice the damage it does?

Honestly, the Farquhar-Hill is an embodiment of what every BR 4 semi auto should be. I’d just buff other BR 4 semi autos to have the same damage, maybe even bring in some tech tree BR 4 semi autos with 15-25 round magazines as well?

ZH-29 with 20 rounds at BR4. And put all 10 round semis to BR3, current ZH-29 included.

I just don’t understand their logic. Why is this rifle and Turner’s damage so much higher than all the others? They’re using weaker ammunition.

But it makes sense that all similar rifles should have similar damage.

Because devs felt like it at the time of that BP season, they thought that USA deserves an overbuffed and unrealistic weapon damage for that gun probably due USA WR that is ultra low. No other explanation. They didn’t do their homework that’s for sure. We have selective “Historical accuracy” that is mostly around Germany which is just a convenient excuse to nerf them or sometimes (very rarely) to make them HA and feel good to play like recent FG42 family changes.

Perfect! Though I’d almost prefer to give Japan a ZH-29 or ZH-32 with a 20 round magazine captured from China or from Thai service, and give Germany something like the Gewehr 43 with an extended magazine (same one as the Gerat 03)?

If they went as far as field trials, I don’t think the “historical accuracy card” rules it out either.

It’s obvious. The only assault rifle that has actually seen combat and is in service in our game is the worst assault rifle.

group a
then you would have move guns in group a to down tier zh29 and g41, hei 10 shot magazine to br3
group b
and guns in group b g41, johnson 1941 and garand, type 4 to br2
no these groups are not equal

the garand is not the same br as g43 they are not equal

g41, johnson 41, type four jusy need a crazy reload equal to ( zh29 and g41, hei 10)

m1 garand needs a 25 to 30% faster reload then( zh29 and g41, hei 10)

production begun in 1837
GW41-GW43 well 41 and 43weapon br is based on powa and when possible year made
in every way the m1 garand as is needs to be one br lower then the g43
what about the zh29 krieger one its not just when it was made but when said faction acquired it
i did not bring it up as with the g41 and garand those dates are the same

tier 1
z4219 g43 hei ten shot
tier 2
g41 type4 johnson 1941
tier 2.5
garand

so if you put semi autos with 15 to 25 rounds in br4
you need to move br 4 rifles to br 3
then move b3 semi autos to br2 or significantly boost them

Leave the damage value alone. God forbid a semi auto feels nice to use. BR4 and up semi autos should have the same hidden accuracy modifiers as bolt actions and atleast 15.1 damage.

It’s hard to take this sort of post seriously. Honestly.

What other rifles have this much damage?

Stop using non upgraded dmg. It’s totally misleading.

This is probably even more illogical.

Since semis have around ±15 dmg when fully upgraded. And all BP/event/premiums weapons are fully upgraded by default.
