Lower the FG 42 vertical Recoil

Oh, well yeah, it’s 9 man br 5 battle rifle meta, yes…

I agree.

I can entertain your proposal, but you should make a suggestion.

At any rate, darkflow will probably not do anything drastic. They themselves said so.

what a legend

Now who voted NO? SILENCE IS VIOLENCE!

Before every battle, I will RAGE.

why do people keep voting no??? Tell me.

It simple some ilutional bastards just want their faction buffed remember from what i said that some people wants this Game to be a PVE and not a PVP, they don’t wanna give their enemies and opportunity to figth back and just stomp them everysingle time which is boring considering is a team Game where You have to cooperate with others in order to win…

Well, it seems like the community has spoken regarding this topic. The vertical recoil of the FG 42 should be adjusted to a lower value, especially the first FG 42 variant. Now its up to the moderators whether they will pass this along. @LokalHero

I just realized the event FG 42 has 62 vertical recoil by default :person_facepalming:, that thing has 53 vertical recoil fully upgraded. giving the TT FG 42’s 62 recoil fully upgraded wouldn’t even come close to this cheese lol.

I agrer to it. All his points are valid and True. Why would I use for example the STG 44 is my sniper FG can one shot? Or the AS44 if the AVT40 20 can one shot?

Automatic rifles are a rather unique situation in our game. They’re a bit too strong compared to weapons of other classes, like the StG44 or the PPSh41. The FG42 would be too strong if buffed; right now, it’s more of a fun weapon for fighting in tight spaces, like Larter Station.

Personally, I’d really like to see the Gewer Kurtz fixed. It wouldn’t offend anyone, since the Soviets have the Fedorov rifle and the Gorov machine gun. However, that’s off-topic. It’s very sad. :pleading_face:

I think they can increase the rate at which intermediate cartridges can down an opponent, but not outright kill them.

I am not sure exactly how the damage in the game works, but i think that if a bullets damage is slightly less than the enemies HP, it has a good chance ofputting the enemy in the downed state. Otherwise, players continually shrugging off 8mm kurz and winning firefights based purely on alpha damage just puts a damper on the usefulness of assaulters.

i just watched a video by quadro. Apparently, if the damage exceeds the targeted HP, then the outcome is either a kill or a down. damage under that don;t down :frowning:

I appreciate your concern. However, such a reaction warrants a fix against all BR battle rifles.


This is however, unacceptable. Either the event weapon gets nerfed, or the tech tree version gets the same recoil stats. While we are at it, give the FG 42 2 80% recoil control.

I can’t stand Germany being a slop tier nation anymore, despite having the most content.

Believe me, I’m all for it. And, of course, for improving the regular FG42. :grin:

I think this represents my case perfectly.

First pattern FG42 is lighter than FG42 II and as such should have less dispersion but more recoil.

Giving it a generous dispersion buff would encourage it being used in single fire or bursts, while full auto would be more effective for the second FG42.
