Buff the Winchester 1866

its prob just you i dont see a real issue it

Most of the people I talk to don’t really like it either, and I can’t even remember the last time I’ve been killed by one

Then it’s not a semi auto. It’s a lever action, like the Winchester M1895 for the Soviets. Those aren’t semi auto, they still require the person holding the gun to cycle the bolt

It has the rof of a semi auto

Closer to the fire rate of a shotgun

Which semi auto are you even looking at? They all got 350 minimum.

Even if it was true that it had that rof, that doesn’t magically make it a semi auto.

Why are you so held up by this? Move on man

Which is exactly as it should be - as has been noted - this is a BLACK POWDER weapon - even by WW1 it was rubbish.

And so it should stay - you are not required to love every weapon.

The Indians used the 1866 to defeat Custers 7th Calvary at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. The Winchester 1866 “NEVER” saw a day of battle in either WW1 or WW2, so why the Dev’s in their infinite wisdom choose to insert it into a WW2 game is mind numbing. It is an old west Cowboys and Indians gun, and complete antiquated hardware by the WW2 era. Not that I care, but this gun should have “NEVER” been introduced to Enlisted.

You’re the one spreading lies. The hell you talking about getting held up I responded to you TWICE!

I just want the visual recoil reduced, cause an 1866 does not kick as much as is shown in game. Plus I don’t think asking for a visual recoil change on an underpowered weapon is that much to ask for.

If it gets a stat buff then great, if it doesn’t I don’t care, just for the love of God CHANGE THE VISUAL RECOIL.

I’d prefer to at least like a weapon that is supposed to be a reward from gambling hundreds of thousands of silver.

Considering how bad the stats or, I don’t think asking for a visual recoil buff is too much

It wasn’ a gambling reward - it was a BP reward.

That it is in the loot chests is completely irrelevant.

Please get your facts straight and then return to the conversation

I disagree that its a bad weapon, use it with engi for unlimited ammo, take good cover when reloading and you can easily have 30+ kills. All it takes to spam fire enemies approx where their heads are and its guaranteed you will kill many of enemies in much faster way than with any other bolt actions, its a perfect anti swarm weapon for low BR

But it wouldn’t be broken with a visual recoil reduction?

dunno, for me it is good already, you just have to use it in different way than with other weapons.

Just copy-pasted it from CRSED since the entire event was just reusing CRSED assets.

For me it’s already 1 BR worth of a downgrade to the M1 Carbine with perfect visual recoil, honestly it might even be 2 BR worth of a downgrade with perfect visual recoil.

as Indiana Jones would say, “That belongs in a museum!”
the weapon was 77 years old in 1943 and completely obsolete plus the weapon is br1 and not meant to be used beyond br1 due to it being completely obsolete.
