Top players from RU forum led by Analobandit and Analoslav, are very opposed to nerfing automatic rifles. How do you, the most valuable and respected players in the EU region, feel about these nerfs, and do you want them?

Sry for my bad english. London is the capital of Great Britain.
I wouldn’t mind, as long as it’s done properly. When devs tried last time, it was done really poorly:
nerfs didn’t scale equally among all factions.
I explain: some weapons have a magical recoil control modifier, others don’t (or marginally different). Some have a bayonet providing recoil control bonuses, others do not.
By nerfing all of those different arms by the SAME value, WITHOUT taking into consideration the details I pointed out earlier, some weapons will end up much worse than others, in a very unequal way.
It’s not how I want them to nerf things:
It must be made weapon by weapon, each must be viewed INDIVIDUALLY. NOT with a blanket nerf.
THEN, I wouldn’t mind if there’s a nerf. If done properly.

The infantry squad reduction idea is plain bad however, that’s a no.
Ofc, everything needs to be balanced. But now is not balance. Is everyone here okay with the fact that the only 5 br weapon - auto-rifle? Should be changed? People satisfied with Tier 4–5 meta that has lasted five years?
of course this is mostly pointed out to ARs where these should give to the assaulter speed and agility buffs like what a user with swords does apart from the weapons they use which could get at least 10.5 damage and less damage reduction over long range (federov avtomat being an exception that thing is alredy a SF)
when it comes to machine gunners they should get some supression effect for their guns that means even if you dont directly hit the enmy it will fog your vision making for a couple of instances harder to aim to a firing machinegunner + machine guns like MG42 and Browning 1919 are to slow a less harsh sprint penalty they should get maybe also machine guns damage should also get increased to at least 14.5 or 15 so they can one shot
It’s could be balanced by applying a restriction similar to the one for assault troops and machine gunners — limiting the squad to 3–4 automatic rifles. May be.
In fact, automatic rifles are so powerful now that making anything other than them playable (like BR 4) would require a total nerf, a complete one. Even if you reduce their damage to 13.2, increase recoil, and lower mobility by 10–15%, they will still be relevant, simply because they’re automatic weapons that any scrub can get. They’re just too versatile; ideally, they should be taken away from the rifleman class altogether, or a separate class should be created specifically for automatic rifles.
The biggest problem is that it works at every range.
Just hide 9 soldiers equipped with Hei Autos or AVS-20s inside the point and hip-fire spray anyone who walks in — even a completely braindead player can take 1st place.
On the other hand, I think the T20 is relatively well-balanced. I haven’t played Germany in a long time so I don’t know about the FG42 II.
Everything getting hardspammed at BR5 is kinda the whole personality and point of the BR. It shouldnt be changed.
However, I do get that SF rifles are just overall better than using ARs or semi-auto rifles so minor nerfs like damage reduction to 13.2 would be fine as long as body armour damage reduction is removed.
Anyway, this alone does not save BR4.
The powergap between BR3-4 is the smallest across all BRs, while the gap between BR4-5 is the biggest. Its kinda obvious that BR4 needs buffs across the board instead of just pouring some water on top of the burning oil.
BR4 also needs tanks and planes that can effectively combat BR5 vehicles and can terrorize BR3 in a downtier the same way BR3 terrorizes BR2.
Bull ship a sherman with a 75mm against a panther ahahaha
A 20 round johnson against a 75 round mg32
Garand vs zh29, Thompson against 40 round Thompson I mean kiraly
Br4 curbstomps br3
At least as bad as br3 to br2
Maybe br4 and 3 getrmany and ussr are balanced but us.
/Uk br4 is just br3 with a mustache
