Buffing the MG 81

Suggestions Weapons
1

The MG 81 is in a rather weak state right now, with the worst dispersion, the slowest ADS speed, and an insanely high rate of fire, which often leads to bullets missing due to the poor dispersion mentioned above. I suggest changing its ADS speed from 0.25 to 0.3 to make it consistent with its competitors. On top of that, I suggest lowering its horizontal recoil from 15 to 12 to make it easier to use at longer ranges, since even if you manage to control it, it will still bounce left and right.

Should ADS speed be buffed from 0.25 to 0.3?

No changes to movement dispersion penalties?
With MG81 weight, 0.45-0.65 ADS speed should be considered.

TBH, it’s a hidden stat. It’s unlikely to be changed. But we can have the OP suggest it.

Ofc what i suggested is not everything that can or should be changed but i would rather change things slowly and see how they play then.

Personally, I would love to see it being done away with entirely, or reduced across all mg’s by at least 50%

So, the bottom line: buy the MG-42 100.

The MG-81 weighs 9.1 kg.
The Fedorov MG weighs 9.0 kg.
Therefore, they should have similar aiming speed, dispersion and sprint speed.

Maxim-Tokarev and M1919A6 got 0.24

It is the Type100 being OP at 0.3, nerf Type100 instead

15 is already the lowest horizontal recoil in these four
Try brust fire with this 1800 rpm gun

MGs like MG 81, in general are suffering from extremely heavy penalties for what they actually offer in the game honestly. It’d be nice to have reduce the both ADS and sprint speed penalties or at least increase the damage to over 14 so that at least they would have an ability to one shot soldiers with vitality at close to mid range.

Nerfing the Type 100 wouldn’t make the MG-81 any better schlawg
