Maybe hot take, but FN Model 1930, one of those many BAR variants in the game could use some buff.
Specifically, i’m talking about the horizontal recoil and the visual recoil. People whoever fired this thing before will know what i’m talking about. It has an excessive visual recoil that shakes your screen violently plus, excessive horizontal recoil for BAR variants weapon like this. All other BAR variant weapons in the game have relatively low horizontal recoil but for some reason this weapon has whooping 19 horizontal recoil with 10% recoil control modifier. For comparison, BAR M1918A2 has 15 horizontal recoil with 20% recoil control modifier, as you can see here.
So i suggest FN Model 1930 to get less visual recoil as well as less horizontal recoil but increment for it’s vertical recoil. So that way, FN Model 1930 could get the stats in line with other BAR variants in the game. It’s excessive horizontal and visual recoil makes it less appealing weapon to use despite it being one of those BAR variant weapons that are great on BR 3.
I really do not understand those who claim that this weapon is so bad… me personally i prefer it over the bar itself… then again i prefer using the 1918 over A2 so.
Even GER BR3 i use this over the MG34… much more suitable for an aggressive player.
Automatic Rifles as in Browning Automatic Rifle or Winchester Automatic Rifle or the Chauchat. They’re a type of Light Machine Gun.
But the point I was originally making is that the MG34 and any Automatic Rifle fill very different roles despite both being Machine Guns. They are two different weapons types for different roles and as such shouldn’t be the reference point when looking at whether or not a weapon should be buffed.
It’s also possible that recoil could be improved in exchange for reducing the rate of fire to 660 rounds per minute (which is the exact rate specified in the manual). I would even say that for a weapon with a 20-round magazine, this rate of fire is preferable. And naturally, it’s high time it was renamed the FN MODÈLE D machine gun.
Buff the FN Model 1930? Compared to the WAR and the BAR A2, it already has the highest ROF, less vertical recoil then the A2, loads faster then the WAR, so why does it need a buff? Other then the horizontal recoil, which when you consider the higher ROF is not terrible, the gun is actually not bad the way it is. I have one dedicated squad that uses them. Maybe lowering the ROF to that of the WAR and BAR would reduce the recoil, however many would consider that a nerf.
I have four of the FN 1930’s for my German faction and they are decent as they are. However, since I use them often, I would be fine with the dev’s buffing them, providing we’re going to buff the BAR A2 and the WAR since I use them as well.
Base stat doesn’t matter when WAR has 40% recoilControl and A2 has 20% which cuts their recoil significantly. On top of their better base stat they have better recoilControl. There’s no reason to buff the recoil of W.A.R and A2 further
No, thank you. If you want 660 rof, just play any other variant of BAR.
It doesn’t. The weapon is quite good and fine as it is. Its higher rof is good tradeoff for slightly worse recoil. People just want to reduce the differences between the weapons.
True the A2 and WAR don’t need a buff, however the FN has a higher rate of fire then both the A2 and WAR, which could account for it’s higher horizontal recoil, so, does it really need a buff? I think it is fine where it is.
To be honest, I would rather see the dev’s drop the FN ROF to 690 and reduce the horizontal recoil, but with the ROF currently at 770 there should be no changes to the recoil.
Main problem I have with all BAR’s is the 20 round mags (much like the real life issue it had), a little buff to horizontal recoil wouldn’t hurt because of the high ROF and 100 mil second longer reload compared with the BAR A2. Some experimental high capacity/higher capacity mag BAR’s wouldn’t go a miss. I love most of the BAR’s the BAR A1 in semi like a fat rifle, the Japanese BAR a2 and the German premium BAR too, I’m holding out for the colt monitor squad and some WAR’s (would be fun for some 4th July celebrations while listening to Ted Nugent).
Nah, you wrong mate real recoil :
Bar1919A2 - 27 V 12 H
Fn 1930 - 29 V 17 H
Plus, the BAR is a tech tree weapon, while I bought the FN 1930 with gold. You get the best BAR just by grinding, whereas this gun cost real money—750 gold a piece. So there’s no way it should be worse than the BAR
The WAR was FAR worse for a long time. In my opinion all other nation’s BAR clones should be worse because it’s what made the u.s. special. Now everything is just a clone or one another.
Except other people actually continued working on making the BAR better, unlike the US. The FN 1930 and all weapons that are FN derivatives are jus the BAR but better because FN developed it further instead of just letting it sit in store houses until the next war came.
Other then the horizontal recoil, which when you consider the higher ROF is not terrible, the gun is actually not bad the way it is. I have one dedicated squad that uses them. Maybe lowering the ROF to that of the WAR and BAR would reduce the recoil, however many would consider that a nerf.
