Don’t bother with the carbine, it was slow as fuck before to the point that clicking normally was still complete ass

It may make sense for high calibre rifles, but it severely cripples carbines and semiautos with low damage output, that necessarily need 2 or more hits to take down targets.

Mag dumping the garand did its job, now if you miss your first shot good luck.
Maybe the knife is a better choice

Yeah the M1 carbines were already way too slow of ROF
Especially with low damage
Like they’re pretty much a death sentence for whoever you give it to

Yeah I think the ROF for semis are a smidge too low
Up it a little bit and I think it’ll be perfect

After testing it on shooting range I have similar opinion.
This nerf might not be that bad, but perhaps a little bit higher rof would place semi auto where it should be.
Because honestly…click spam of semi-auto rifles we had was just a matter of time until devs try to do something about it.

M1 carbines will be true incarnation of suffering. Even if devs raise their rof, damage was already way too shitty… thus buff in both aspects (damage and rof) is the only way how to make them usable.

Not really in Normandy at least. I have a couple of full stared M2’s but never could get used to them over the Garand . Now I will have to reevaluate my thinking on this …
Still have some testing to do …
Yep last nail in the coffin for them I’m afraid . Such a pity because it’s really a great weapon in RL. Too bad DF has killed it …

I’m not going to subscribe to the sky is falling just yet until I get some games under my belt tonight.
I will however agree that the M1 Carbine needs some love for sure.
Hopefully they are open to adjusting the mechanics a bit if they see it went too far.
Otherwise, I’ve kept myself proficient with BAs so its just another day at the office.
Probably "StAtIsTiCs"

I am at the same point of view on this, except i already gave them a year, played alpha, thought i give it a year, and they should have all core issues fixed.
As example, semi autos, they had all this time, to fix, i been here 3 months, play semis a lot due to my latency to server, BA just don’t cut it with 230-400+ ping, but no, now, my semi auto fires to fast wtf, i have 6 shot semi auto in Tunisia, enemy has NZ squad, with Charlton auto, and my 6 shot fires too fast are you kidding me.

They could just have moved the SAs to trooper and turn them into trooper only guns like rifle launchers.
