We don’t. The Johnson rifle should’ve never been lowered to BR3 in the first place, leaving US with no tech tree BR4 rifle at all.
Illogical decision that was completely uncalled for. It could have been easily buffed to more suit BR4 if needed.
Now people will only use it as another justification when pushing for more powercreep. Prime example of snowball effect.
I wasn’t even talking about that gun? Sure buff it’s reload speed. But guess what, russia isn’t the only nation germany fights. German mains seem to forget that most of the time out of convenience. It’s unfair to put the ZH on br3 is what i said.
Hu? When did that happen?
6-12 months back. It’s quite some time since that happened.
Agreed, the G41 is not a bad rifle, just slow reloading with the clips compared to the SVT-38. So by changing the SVT-38 to clips it would balance them.
I almost exclusively use 15+ damage semis, and needing 2 shots to kill is fairly common. I use both the pavesi guns for germany, the type 4 and hino for japan, garand, winchester, and liu rifle for u.s., federov and sks for russia. Needing follow ups is necessary a lot.
BR 3 Germans I almost exclusively use the VG 1-5 over the G-41
Cannot wait for some completely busted soviet carbine counterpart, just to further screw with ingame balance.
No offense of any kind, but to be honest you need some good aim to tell that Murican’s T3 rifles’ sight really does hinder their performance by a huge shot.
I know this probably isn’t universal and some people mind it more than others, but at least for me I would rather take G41 than Garand. I have not used Johnson yet but from what I see its sight is even worse.
imho all of these rifles are fairly balanced except the SVT38. Johnson never ever deserve BR4 in the first place, consider you got guns with better performance, better reloads and better sights (Basically better everything) at BR4.
No! The G41 is terrible! It needs a buff badly!
I tried it at BR3 and found it’s even worse than the Pavese and other semi-autos, which are premium BR2 weapons. It feels awful to use — the iron sights just feel way off and floaty.
But here’s the thing: I used to suggest moving the Zh or 43 down to BR3, but the community vote was against it. I just don’t get it.
Nerfing the SVT-38 is never going to happen, so why not just buff the G41 or lower its BR instead? I’m really confused.
Do they really want everyone to have a miserable time playing?
Just nerf everything together, can’t stand to see anyone have a slightly better time?
Play the victim so we all suffer equally.
It’s because some players prefer stripper clip loading. Historically, soldiers preferred using full magazines, but this is a game, and that’s the kind of logic some people use to argue against changes.
Like how they say the Hellcat must not be moved down to BR3, otherwise no one would play the M10. I think it’s the same kind of thinking.
If Germany got two guns at BR3 and one was better than the other, would everyone really stop using the worse one? If I like the first one, why can’t we have a new one? That’s basically it — people are used to the old stuff and reject anything new. The stripper-clip fans just hate the magazine users.
The comparative American rifles outperform it aswell. The Johnson has better damage and a much quicker reload speed.
Almost everything is worse than pavesi
Uh no? It’s just that u.s. doesn’t have a mag fed gun at all. The only original balance to that was the increased damage. You’re trying to negate all rifle balance. The only needed change is to make svt38 clip fed and to reduce g41 reload by .5 at most
Uh, seriously? I’m talking about the gun that’s the Pavesi S without the SVT variant.
And the other semi-automatic one with only a 6-round magazine.
Their accuracy is even worse.
I’ve fully upgraded both of these guns and use them at BR3.
Well, how should I put it? The American and Japanese semi-autos at BR3 got pretty noticeable buffs, but the German G41 is still terrible. I don’t really get it either.
But what I’m thinking is to try to speed up the reload speed for the underpowered guns, to balance them closer to ones with magazine reloads. After all, reload speed can be adjusted. Among those bolt-action rifles in BR1, Japan’s starting rifle got the strongest buff.
soviet bots armed with svt38 vs german bots armed with vg 1-5… sound so tragic
the g41 empty mag reload animation is even wrong and it needs to be fixed, when its empty the mag bolt stays open and ready for a reload, that means the reload speed needs a buff
Please, it’s the Allies who are ruining the game balance, especially the Soviets’ Tier 3 weapons and plate armor. The G-41 is practically useless now; its reload speed is slow, it has no advantage against submachine guns, and it can’t even kill semi-automatic rifles. I suspect you’re a Soviet player, so you’re deliberately not buffing German Tier 3 weapons, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to bully newbies. Your thinking is incredibly selfish, you know?
Don’t bother arguing with them. A bunch of selfish people will only ever think about themselves. Next time, let newbies skip level 3 weapons and let these selfish bastards find their own fun fighting bots.
