Yes itād be closer to a semi auto, but at BR2 it would be stronger than any Semi auto other than the Fedorov 1912. It does more damage than the Armaguerra, has less recoil, more ammo and minimally more dispersion. It is not fit for BR2 as a mag fed weapon.
Did you also forget the part about it being an event weapon. How many times has germany gotten something far better than anyone elseās tt stuff or even event/premmy stuff for that matter. Germany constantly breaks rules. This has a greenlight in my book.
They literally just got an AR that does 14.4 damage. Thing is nuts and crazy strong. Not to mention their mkb42 for br4 thatās hands down better than all br5 TT ARs. The scotti is the only thing that rivals it even with itās small mag
Iām not against adding it. I feel itād be a good option for BR3 as itās, in my opinion, too strong for BR2.
Itās too weak for br3 with 10 rounds. Pretty much looses all benefit. The rpk would be a better option to bring
I guess if you have an RPK, thatās also not the same class of weapon as the Fedorov so wouldnāt mean much of anything, itād be a better option. I still think itās too strong for BR2 if all that is changed from the standard Fedorov is the mag size.
Would the 15 round magazine be a realistic option?
I did a bit of a deeper search a while ago but didnāt reach a final conclusion so provided 2 variants:
Iād say the 15 round magazine would be better than a 10 round one, just too little ammunition with 10 round magazines. I still say itād be suited to BR3, especially with the Mkb 42(H) 15 at BR3
Man I filmed it for you from a Artillery museum - what can be more realistic? -_-
Those dont one hit kill tho.
This is practically a BR5 weapon but with very small mag - might as well give it a clip reload so it would fit BR3
What BR would you give a FG42 with a 10 round mag, also BR2 or what?
The beautiful thing about comparing the 10 round Fedorov with the MKb.42(H) 15: As they currently exist, the MKb needs 2 bullets per kill, therefore only being capable of killing 7 enemies per magazine with perfect efficiency, and at the speed that it requires to fire two bullets. The Fedorov, assuming it also gets 13.9 damage, would be able to kill 10 soldiers with itās 10 bullets, at a much faster rate.
Now, if the MKb also dealt 13.9 damage, I think it would be fair for the Fedorov, while having 5 fewer rounds, to fire at itās faster RoF (600 vs 500) and have better recoil and dispersion. Iām fine with 13.9 damage Assault Rifles being at BR 3, as long as the semi autos at the same BR deal 15.3 damage.
Was just about to ask that.
So is the mkb (15)? Itās not clip fed and has more bullets. If it gets 15 with mag fed i think br3 would be fine. At only 10 i se br2 more than fair
Thatās point blank ranges. Only needs .5 damage drop off to not 1 hit kill. Iām not looking at stats right now, but i assume itās not far at all probably 20m or so?
Yes, 13.9 damage no longer one-taps vitality at 21m. Thatās a pretty common engagement range though, and it means 15.3 damage semi autos can perform better with one-taps up to 68m.
Thereās a ton of engagement past 20m. The federov also has much worse recoil. The mkb(15) is really stable and accurate. Another point to the 10 kills for 10 bullets, is youāre probably only getting that in semi automatic fire (at close ranges), which Iām not sure if fed has or not honestly, but youāre probably squeezing off more than one round at a time per enemy. If it does have semi automatic firing, then itās weaker compared to a semi automatic rifle there as well. I donāt really see any balance issues with the gun
The only people that really struggle to control the Fedorovās recoil are people who donāt use vertical recoil perks. Otherwise, crouch and very lightly pull the mouse down or hold down the joystick. Practice in the practice range a bit.
And sure, there is tons of engagements past 20m, of which at that point the Fedorov is as strong as any other assault rifle, which isnāt horrible.
Doesnāt mean recoil can just be ignored. Just because you can āget gudā with it doesnāt negate the argument. Itās a form of balance. German gun easier to pick up and use especially for new players or those who arenāt great at FPSs, as well as console players who usually prefer a more stable firing gun. I do pretty good with the federov, but itās shooting experience just doesnāt compare to stg, mkb42(m or w? The br4 one)
I will 9 times out of 10 take a worse stat/trait to use a more accurate weapon that has a better shooting experience
Mkb 15 federov 10 rounds both br 3 is fine for me
Fedorov is a BR5 rifle specifically because it one hit kills, a 10 round FG would never be fair in BR3, but your Fedorov could be, but only with a clip reload, like all BR3 semis should also have.
