My guess would be conflicting / missinterpreted sorces?
Especialy if you look at lesser know guns (without proper documentaion made by the designer itself) it becomes very much possible to have 3 diffrent sorces which in turn also conflict with each other with the stats given to it.
And remember, the AVT used to only have a 15-round magazine—that was a huge problem.
It only got fixed recently with the 20-round mag.
The fact that the AVT-15 had 5 fewer rounds than the FG 42 2was always brushed off with “it has a bayonet”.
I’d forgotten how tough Soviet players had it,
with lower ROF and less ammo than the FG.
I get why they complain about the FG 42 2 — it’s totally understandable.
And FG used to do only 14.4 dmg which ment soviet players could just ignore the first shoot while wearing armor and then it also started on semi auto only.
Do you want to turn this into a whinning contest now?
Oh, I almost forgot! I’m sorry about that.
You’re right. When the AVT only had 15 rounds, DF’s brilliant solution was to add a safety switch to the FG 42.
Oh my god, when you mention that, I suddenly remember how it was back in Berlin:
I had to spam Y like crazy to turn off the safety for every single soldier. It was so annoying.
Just for this so-called “balance,” DF made it awkward and frustrating for both sides.
They might as well have given both guns bayonets and full-power ammo.
One was basically a light machine gun, and the other could even use Mosin rounds.
My main issue is that period when the FG lost its safety, but the AVT was still stuck with 15 rounds.
That went on for way too long.
As someone who maxed out the German tree, I was happy when the FG’s safety was removed.
But at the same time, I felt bad for Soviet players at BR5.
The 20-round mag came way too late — they only caved in because players kept complaining around New Year.
And then they pulled that ridiculous move:
turning the suppressed Soviet PPSh from a tech-tree weapon into a premium one.
In the end, it all comes down to DF’s delayed and messy updates.
So from now on, I’m definitely supporting restoring the AVT’s historical fire rate.
The one-sided TT silenced weaponry was very stupid when half of the playerbase was already convinced that the USSR was the DF golden child.
It wouldnt have been as bad if not for the fact that every other faction had to pay for theirs.
Just the USSR would have gotten theirs for free.
EDIT: Also the fact that it was contested if it even existed at all also didnt help.
My I introduce you a guy who found an info about 20 rounds AVT mag?
Well, actualy photo of this approved as a real and also there is some reports of its rounds testing
There actually are test reports aswell?
Also wasnt your confirmation for the picture a few months late so that the item was already replaced for the update?
Its quite complicated to find. But its in a hands of a most famous soviet weapon researcher and he sad it was
“In order to distinguish us from persons posing as servicemen of the 8th Army, we wear distinctive insignia with the inscription ‘Balu’ (8th Army).”
What is Ba lu?
Dude, are you being serious? The USSR? Are you kidding me?
Don’t act like you only remember every tiny buff the USSR ever got while forgetting all other nations.
Let’s be real—Japan is DF’s real daddy.
Wait, by your logic, does that make the USSR Japan’s grandson or something? LOL.
Think about it:
Why can Japanese jets carry 800kg bombs?
Why are their BR5 assault rifles so ridiculously overpowered?
They even have a bayonet SMG that’s just as good as the PPSh.
And their fighters can carry 250kg bombs—Soviet pilots must be green with envy.
DF gave Japan everything, except for impossible, ahistorical buffs on their tanks.
They even have a dedicated official account just for Japan.
Japan is basically Gaijin’s biggest investor.
Remember the last update?
Japan got tons of great stuff, while the USSR only got some random, irrelevant Chinese rifle.
In my opinion, getting the suppressed PPSh isn’t even a real buff for the USSR.
The meta right now is all about assault rifles.
SMGs don’t get any damage buffs—they can’t even compete with the premium Suomi.
Because bombs larger than 500kg functionaly not much diffrent to just a 500kg one since both mostly just get stoped by the same terrain.
So the one with 20 rounds under 10 dmg and still in BR 5?
And in return the attackers get shafted.
Are you seriously afraid of japanese tanks in BR 1 to 4?
It is just 1 tank that is remotely problematic.
And in how many updates was japan just forgotten?
Then explain why every other faction should have to pay for silenced weapon but not the soviets?
Ok lets see
Type 2a (6.5mm) (Japan BR V, Research)
Stuck with only 20 rounds while everyone else has 30. Not so great
Captured M1918A2 (Japan BR III, Premium)
Overpriced copy paste. Why would you want to use it if the KE 7 already exists and is free.
Chi-To Late (Japan BR IV, Research)
Reskin of an already existing tank that already was a victim of powercreep.
Great additions… truely magnificent
我直接给你最流畅、最贴你语气、能直接发国际论坛的英文翻译，一句一句对应：
Your logic is flawed from the start. If the Fedorov rifle was a fully automatic rifle from World War I, why would its performance be better than fully automatic rifles from World War II? Does it mean that weapons from World War I were more advanced than those from World War II? Besides sophistry, what else can you say? You’re a delusional fantasist who dreams of becoming a Soviet superman.
下面给你逐句精准、口语化、论坛可直接发的英文翻译，完全保留你吐槽的语气：
But how many maps are 100% flat ground? 50% of the time you are fighting in an urban enviroment where cover is plenty and range very limited or if you are outside there always are some ditches and dirt barriers everywhere to soak up the fragmentation still.
500 kg bombs already have a 150m fragmentation radius so 170 m of an 800 kg bomb will rarely matter if you toss the bomb remotely near to where you expect enemies to be.
In the end it rarely even matter if it was a 500 or a 800 kg since infantry nearby will be dead and infantry not nearby will be protected by some form of cover.
But you can only have 1 fighter at the time. The attackers for japan are just terrible so the fighter has to be able kill for 2 planes instead, also P40-E1 only has 50kg less payload so just use that instead. But then the USSR still has some good options for the attacker slot aswell so you can 2 vs1 the single fighter japan can field.
I am not in charge of that. So why bring that up?
What time is it where you are?
I just remembered — the Fedorov got moved to BR4, right?
Well, if they increase its rate of fire this time, it should be balanced back to BR5.
But the machine gun version can stay at BR4, since it has a smaller magazine.
If they didnt cause drag and added that extra weight to the plane then sure.
The kikka with only 500 kg would be no worse than the current one 90% of the time but still a bit more nimble everytime.
The old ones already were british.
To be honest I am suprised that they so far have not properly asked to buff the 500lb british bombs instead of just whinnig that the best fighter in the game doesnt also have the best payload in the game.
I noticed I assume some kind of translater makes everything hard to understand.
