I'm really curious about how the new version of semi-automatic will be

The next version says the update will buff semi-automatics, but it mentions the issue of the first shot being inaccurate when aiming.
I remember semi-autos used to be quite strong and accurate, but they were nerfed not long after and became what they are now.
This “buff” feels more like a revert to how they used to be rather than an actual strengthening.

Right now, for Germany at BR3, I’ve bought the Walther rifle (radioman), the Mauser G41 (nine-man squad), and the G41 sniper—all semi-autos. I enjoy playing Germany at BR3 because you can buy more advanced squads, which means more potential earnings. But since German semi-autos are already weaker compared to the American ones, even after buying them, they don’t feel very useful. I’ve even warned others not to buy these German semi-auto squad rifles.

Currently, I can only play the Assault MP41 (R) three-cycle squad—after all, the bonuses are high. But losing and earning 5,000 points feels worse than winning and earning 2,500. The weapons for engineers and anti-tank roles also need to be considered for their effectiveness.

German semi-autos now feel like they’ve been “poisoned.” From the Armaguerra to the G-43, German semi-autos—or rather, all non-Soviet semi-autos—seem to have handling issues. I can fire several shots within 10 meters and still miss, which feels absolutely absurd. Just thinking about charging into the first defense line in Moscow with a G41 for trench warfare, only for my rifle to miss at 5–10 meters, makes my eyes widen in disbelief.

I hope this update addresses the random recoil issue more thoroughly. I also hope semi-auto reload speed gets buffed. Instead of constantly focusing on Soviet semi-autos, the developers should look at their own problems. From the 5-round semi-auto at BR2 to the 10-round at BR3, and the higher damage/double magazines at BR4, I think BR2–4 is fairly balanced right now.

Oh, I seem to have made an error in the settings. I don’t understand the code, so I’ll have to leave it as is for now. I’m hoping someone on the third floor can help set up a poll. I have to go to work now and won’t have time.

Format is incorrect. You need to use [/poll]

Oh, what should I do? I was planning to set up a multiple-choice poll, but when I clicked “Create Poll,” I thought it would generate something useful. Is something missing here? Should I delete this post? But I don’t have time to edit it again.

I mentioned this in another thread, but if you’re struggling to code a poll you can use the builder tool. You can find it by clicking the cog icon when creating/editing your post.

I know about that—the one at the very bottom. But whenever I create it, issues keep popping up. If I don’t modify the generated code, it ends up invalid. I mostly understand how the first voting mechanism works: it’s just about adding “yes” or “no” options, generating the code, and then filling in my own opinion above it.
Still, there are times when it fails to work.
