The old battlepass guns Pavesi M42 and Pavesi SVT both fire the powerful 8x59mm Breda cartridge which has 4,057 J of energy.

Meanwhile, the newest battle pass rifle, which is also a BR2 semi auto like the Pavesi M42, fires .276 enfield (7x60mm) which only has 3,853 J of energy.

The Pavesi M42 is a battlepass BR2 rifle just like the Kretz, fires a stronger bullet, and does significantly less damage. They should be buffed to do very slightly higher damage than the Kretz rifle.

Im into it, but it also would mean that I made a wrong choice by choosing Gold Order Scotti over Pavesi (I liked the look more)

the Kretz should be BR3 imo, its a nice gimmick that way, where you can trade a lower ammo pool for much more powerful rounds.

If you increase the damage, the rate of fire must be the same as that of the Kretz p13

lets give the gimmick to germany too because the pavesi is the PERFECT rifle for it, even better than the kretz

Fair enough, for some reason I thought the Pavesi was a 10rnd.

7

yes, the other pavesi rifle is 10rnd

8

Ngl completely forgot about it, since I normally use the SVT not the M42.

But that would be really cool then, move both up 1 BR but with the extra powerful round as well.

Your fault for not getting both, haha.

10

They were like the same so I wanted to spend remaining gold orders on something else xd

No, no, and no. This is such a german bias suggestion. The pavesi shoots 4 times as fast, and there’s a shit ton of them in the game now. I have like 6 or 7 svts all handed out for free, and 4 of m42. Meanwhile there was only 4 of the kretz at time of post, now a total of 6.

It’s American bias if they get to have the Kretz and nobody else can have anything like it

Put Kretz on BR3. That would solve pretty much anything. Rather than pushing for further powercreep.

The Kretz is massively outclassed at BR3.

Yes yes it’s so german/italian biased, only the greatest nation such as USA can have something like this, amirite? :eagle:

I do agree with the damage increase since the ammo it uses is indeed a powerful one. However If the damage of the Pavesi rifle to be increased to Kretz level then the RoF should be decreased accordingly as well, for balance reason i guess.

Yep, I agree that the other stats should be balanced around the damage. I just desire the Pavesi rifles to fill the same role as the Kretz as it makes sense due to the cartridge used

We wouldn’t be able to set it up the same way, so it wouldn’t work identically but it does still need that buff. Slower rate of fire and full size rifle damage with a five round magazine and low “semi auto rate of fire” , I can see this working for something five or six rounds but anything beyond that would have to be firing significantly slower or have significantly less damage.

If I remember correctly the fire rate was 170 on the kretz. Can’t check now as I’m at work. That’s still significantly faster than a bolt action, so it causes the kretz to sit in a weird spot. Even if we got a little bit of a damage buff just slightly, and better dispersion I think that would be a huge start.

I agree with this statement. If the Kretz really is overpowered at BR2 because of its high damage, just reduce it?
