Some Gewehr 41 rifles were experimentally mounted with 25 round MG.13 magazines. Now, these were not detachable magazines on this weapon, meaning that it still requires reload via stripper clips.
The weapon has a very high magazine capacity for a semi automatic rifle, but reloads 5 bullets at a time, so I believe BR 4 with good balance stats such as recoil, dispersion etc makes the most sense.
Would you like to see the Gewehr 41 25 added to the game?
It should be BR3 because the Cei Rigotti rifle is at BR4 and its basically a full auto version of this idea, so I’m not sure why it should be placed alongside it
I’m apprehensive about a semi-automatic full-caliber rifle that starts with 25 rounds in a magazine being BR 3, but I included it in the polls for a reason.
If the Meunier rifle with 15 round magazine is BR3 than Gewehr 41 with 25 round magazine (has to be reloaded via clips) is more suitable for BR3, especially if it’s limited in number.
Otherwise, I don’t really see the point of why someone would pick a G41 over a G43, regardless of the magazine size.
Most people don’t even fire 25 rounds with a semi automatic before dying. It’s a lot of firepower to have available at spawn, even if the reloading does take a while.
But again, maybe it would be fine at BR 3. I’m just playing devil’s advocate. I feel like the appeal for BR 3 for this weapon comes from Germany not having a great BR 3 TT option with 15.3 damage to begin with.
Better idea is do this as a event weapon and leave it to the devs, when/if (most say will) place it in the wrong BR we have proven to have enough impact to force a change, especially in the case of weapons.
This at whatever BR is most appropriate based on how it preforms in game NOT on paper as well as a clip reload that can be placed in BR III alongside the G41. Consider the g41 a worse weapon as a “main” progression unlock, and the real prizeis the the weapon foldered in with it or later in the TT in BR III.
Question is, what options do we have? Obviously nothing already a existing TT, Event, and Premium or anything that don’t fit the BR III semi rifle feel.
Personal opinion, but I believe it would be fair for the gun to be in BR 3 if it is a event gun, as it lacks in reload speed (with fixed magazine). If it is going to be a event gun, perhaps give it some real advantage in addition to its gimmick (25 round mag).
Look at the Cei something (forgot how to spell bro’s name) rifle at BR 4 (Italy vs Britain event reward), it has the same 25-round magazine, only difference is its automatic firing mode, making it more powerful than our topic gun, G41 (25)
If Cei rifle is at BR 4, then it makes little sense to put a “worse” gun (as in semi-auto only) with the same capacity and same reloading constrain at the same battle rating. That is my argument for voting for BR 3.
I do not post here often, so excuse me if I make a mistake or something.
While it has an extended capacity, you should understand it would take a very long time to reload with small stripper clips. I think BR3 is fine because it would be a rare event gun
This weapon will be complete garbage, just like its 10-round version. So there’s no point in wasting the developers’ time and resources on it instead of creating something more useful.
That’s fair reasoning, especially because we have other event weapons that are technically a lower tier then they should be due to the reload or some other aspect as well as it being rare causing those weapons to be balanced due to rarity or some sort of nerf. So it shouldn’t be too big of a deal to have a 25 round G41 in br3 simply because it would take 5+ seconds to reload. The magazine doesn’t really benefit it in terms of reload speed at BR III Plus it would also have BR III damage as well as every other stat being BR III aside from mag size.
