as title says, the recoil of the m1 and m2 carbine is far too high, they have more vertical recoil than .303 british bolt action rifles like the lee enfield and the ross rifle, almost as much recoil as american rifles like the m1 garand and m1903 springfield which use .30-06 (7.62x63mm) cartridges
that while the m1 and m2 carbine use .30 carbine (7.62x33mm) cartridges that are less than half as powerful compared to the previously mentioned ones
i’m not sure why on earth a semi auto carbine that has 0.6 more stopping power than .45 acp smg’s like the M3 grease gun has over four times the recoil of that smg, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

i haven’t tried the m2 but the m1 is uncontrollable and is only useful at really close distances.
And lets not forget about M2 Hyde. That thing compared to german SMGs is borderline useless

Hyde is decent, but honestly I’d take the Mp40 over the m2 Hyde every time. Theyre pretty similar but the mp40 has 12 more bullets per mag and more ammo.

The M2 Hyde used to be pretty good at long range if you switched it to semi-auto and dropped prone. But yeah it’s just all around not good these days.

carbine recoil is too high.
with such recoil its 2 hit kill and m1 g is 1 hit kill. just think about that.
currently it has no use.
m1 g is far more superior in every situation.
devs needs to lower carbine recoil. 1star should have around 35-38 vertical recoil.

i’d say more like about 25-30 vertical recoil given the stopping power it has ingame
it hardly does more damage than the m3 grease gun so it shouldn’t have that much more recoil ingame
the cartridge the carbine uses is less powerful than modern 5.56 ones and those arent exactly known for high recoil

if 25-30 then it would be more better 
but I don’t think devs would do that.
the reason is because 3star carbine would have around 14-18 vertical recoil with that 20% decrement in m1 carbine.
and 6star m2 would get 9-12 which I think is super low.
rather the best option would be remove recoil decrement upgrade option in m2 at 6star and make base m1 carbine have 30 vertical recoil. in that way, fully upgraded m1car would get 18 vertical recoil.
ya 35-38 is still high considering the damage its doing.
If the recoil was 25-30 the recoil when upgraded with the 20% reduction would be 20-24.
is it decreament by 30 or 20?
Actually its only 15% reduction. So 21-26 when upgraded. Not that much lower tbh
