Question is: why would you ever use a bolt action if the semi automatic fires faster?
The revolver would be a pocket bolt action with very steep damage falloff, while the pistols are pocket carbines

Americas standard issue rifle for infantry was the m1 Garand American soldiers had a significant advantage against their German counter parts because they had more fire power, but this game give the Germans semi autos and that is fine I just want them to do more damage

You can fire 3-4 shots with a semi for every shot a bolt action rifle fires. Making semi’s oneshot would make them OP and eliminate any use in BAs. Allowing them to 2-shot at midrange would make them fair weapons. Not too strong, not too weak.
That is the point IRL semi autos are superior

But for game balance, we cant just throw better guns in an otherwise balanced game.
bolt actions exist and should be viable to use

Once again this is not a milsim, if you want a game where where every rifle will kill you with 1 shot go play post scriptum or hell let loose.
Want to bump this thread as I edited the initial post to include individual weapon balancing suggestions.
So do I. Both tanks can penetrate each other from the side.
T-60 has double the magazine size, so it can deal more damage to an enemy tank when it can penetrate.
Pz2 has better frontal protection, meaning that while it deals less damage, it is harder to penetrate from one specific angle.
The stats balance out.
I always used the M30 when I could. I loved it. And no matter how it compares to other weapons, it is an objective fact that having the option to select a shotgun is better than not having that option.
Yes, as said, mostly balanced, other than one side having better HE on the AT gun than the other. Again, objective facts.
And agree that those specifically can get adjusted. That does not change the fact that if you ignore those, the balance is as I stated.
Again, not really. Only the MP40/41 and maaaybe the MG13 are better, but in return you get objectively more powerful rifles and a shotgun. Still not counting the PTRD as the aforementioned bug not being an intentional nerf.
PSA: mosins can jam now like German bolt guns could. Had my first mosin malfunction over the weekend.

I noticed them too but I thought I saw wrong lol
This sounds a lot like stuff that will needlessly increase the TTK for most weapons. I’ve played too much planeside 2 to agree to this. All weapons should kill or at least knock a soldier down in less than 3 shots if the target is within 30 meters, with falloff being based on the historical performance of the weapon and cartridge in question. And that’s the most lenient this can reasonably be.
And LMG’s can be fired on the move. you may not be very likely to hit something, but there is nothing physically preventing anyone from doing so. And there shouldn’t be in game, lest you want LMG gunners to be utterly defenseless when ambushed. Which you actually may. And that’s bad.
Most SMGs kill in 3 shots right now. It would not change a lot.
I never said they could not fire at all. I said:
You literally said that they should only be able to be fired while mounted on their Bipod mount.
2 catagories.
The current MGs would all be the former.
I guess I should change that to no practical way of shooting them when not deployed.
Some LMG’s with Bipods, such as the MG34, had the option to fire them semi automatic to enable the gunners to use them with at least a little precision without the MG being deployed. And the Bipod LMG’s currently in game have such a horrible recoil that there is already no way to use them effectively while standing or moving without support, unless you manage to fire single shots. As such, nothing needs to change about these weapons whatsoever. They already behave realistic, and are as balanced as they ought to be.
Forcing semi-auto would work
Have you actually used any of them? MG13 is extremely easy to control and the Madsen and ZB36 really arent much more difficult. The old recoil was better imo.
I have actually actually used some of them. And yes, those are too easy at the moment. The Normandy test did the MG34 correctly though.
Agreed. It uses the old recoil ammount. That is the ammount of recoil a bipod MG needs.
Walking fire MGs should have recoil similar to the ZB rn
But it fires the same 7.62x54r as the Mosin family.
Edit: Learned how to quote so came back and fixed it.
