I do play a lot German BR3 and the fact is there’s not really THAT many squads running around with plate armour. People usually only think about the best/worst case scenario but the reality is maybe you’ll see plate amour on one out of 3 soldiers. It’s also true that quite frequently those soldiers aren’t on full health either. So what I’m trying to say is buffing it’s damage to ~12.7 is gonna help more or less: not to mention that German also have to fight US an UK too, where 12.7 makes a more significant difference.
As for why I’m not advocating for the reload, I personally love variation in this game, and the long reload could just be the drawback of G41, like the terrible aim of the Garand. If we could retain this drawback to exchange for some perk that’s more characteristic for the G41, like damage, then I’ll sure have a happier time playing with it. SVT is great that’s for sure (it’s basically OP at this point), but I really don’t want just another copy of it for the German TT.
Also there’s just no 10 rounds clip for G41 historically.
Are you serious? They literally added the ability to see what kind of armor a uniform provides in this patch. The Gever41 isn’t capable of killing with one shot to a cuirass; it’s just ridiculous. It’s good that America doesn’t have a cuirass, but their rifles deal 15.3 damage at BR3 and reload in 3 seconds instead of 5. The Gever41 is absolute trash. Just compare the stats of semi-automatic rifles, please. And here are some tips and tricks for using the 3x9 meta build on this BR3.
America has not only the Garand, but also the Johnson rifle, which deals 15.3 damage. Although, to be fair, they don’t have the BR4 rifle. But that doesn’t mean the Gever41 should be so weak. Because the BR3 almost always plays against the BR2.
“Bad sights” is a subjective parameter for Johnson. And the 3-second reload and 15.3 damage compared to the Gever41, which has a 5-second reload and 14.4 damage, which doesn’t kill a shot to the cuirass. The SVT38 reloads in 2 seconds. The Gever41 is the worst rifle, and that’s a fact.
Well that was his point - armor is the problem not the rifle.
Also while its true that M1 Garand has more damage than G41, besides that I think both guns are well balanced ( G41 reloads longer, but has 2 more rounds in a clip )
I personally still think that all full power semi auto rifles should get at least 15 dmg - not just to overcome soviet armor - but Parattroopers also have 15 HP. No one should surive a semi auto hit.
I can’t understand why everyone is trying to forget the Johnson rifle. It has 10 rounds, a faster reload time of 3 versus 4.7, and 15.3 damage versus 14.4. It all comes down to the supposed parameter of sight comfort. While with the Gewehr 41, you’re literally unarmed for 5 seconds! That’s nothing compared to “an awkward sight.” What’s worse: an awkward sight or complete defenselessness?
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.
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.
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.
