The current representation of the m2 stinger in game apparently uses cloud storage to store it’s ammo. For example the belt carrier should only fit 100, I’m not asking for this nerf because I just hate the Americans but instead because its literally nonsense.
The original M2 stinger asset had a front sight flipped up, however for some reason when the Devs flipped the rear sights down they also flipped the front sight down as well, as seen here:
A pretty big nerf:
Slash the ammo count to 100 rounds, this still makes the m2 stinger the most powerful US lmg and with a large ammo pouch it will still be able to take 400 round in total.
•I would also be open to the m2 stinger’s asset being changed to use no belt carrier and just have the belt drape from the side of the gun so it can keep it’s 200 round capacity, however this feels lazy and a 100 round capacity would force players to use the mg more skilfully.
a cool mechanic they can add is the ability to switch its sights from being up or down. sometimes when textures dont load in I end up getting the old version of the sights like in the first picture
Despite how much I love to just go BRRR with it. It definitely needs to be nerft to match the other Br 5 MGs. Plus historically it had 100 rounds, not 200
I did recommend a way in wich they could keep the 200 round capacity and still have the gun be sensible, and that was to have a ammo belt hang loose from the side.
you also implied youre preference, i dont think anyone would care as long as the change is cosmetic only, and did not say create an insanely long load time. does the stinger have more than one mag its been a while since i used it
i would like them to move all 30 round thompsons to br3 but sanity and balance is something lacking. the problem is you cant just hard nerf things people earned. how would you feel if they nerfed the kiraly to 30 rounds because its just literally better than both thompsons at br4.
Obviously, this is the developers’ ultimate prize to attract players to log in. If this weapon is nerfed, what other ultimate prize could they offer? It’s clear that the lazy development team has no good alternatives for now.
There is no way that the way smaller mag of the Stinger can hold nearly as much rounds. Right now, the Stinger has a 200 rounds mag, and no ammo in reserve iirc. It wouldn’t be a big nerf to correct the mag to the accurate 100 round capacity, and to have a spare mag in reserve, the ammo count would not change, you would just have to reload more often. And with better and accurate sights as you suggested, this slight “nerf” would be compensated by this slight “buff”, because the shots would be more accurate.
Btw, we’re still waiting for a more accurate sight adjustment when aiming down the iron sight of the FG42, because it is still offset to the top when ADS.
Biggest thing for me, it was deliberately never used with a 200 belt box for a reason, the gun became literally unusable as a mobile piece of firepower.
i refute that cutting a guns magazine in half is a ‘small nerf’
by better site you mean this
to this
i decline
now if you mean a mechanical buff to its accuracy stats we can talk, or if you went from 1 200 round mag to 4 100 round mags
I don’t want to original ladder sights, i want the current rear sights but with the front sight flipped up, therefore greatly increasing accuracy.
Also I did mention it the magazine capacity was dropped to 100 I’d expect that large ammo bags would finally work and give you a total of 400 rounds all together.
i again decline you then have to use ammo bags, and i said a game buff not the buff of having slightly better sights. if its an opt in i opt out it needs to be a real change. yes the stinger is op and inaccurate but people would expect compensation for such a one sided nerf. how about a free stinger to all stinger owners and change sprint from 45% to 55-60%. drop the mag to 100 add bags and if you want change the site.
why the stinger should remain special as one of the few mgs designed even as a field modification to be fire from the hip and not use a bipod or tripod.
What was the nerf and it needs to be as hard as cutting the mag in half
But also yes if you spent real money or earned in a. Event or as a bp weapons they should not mess with it without compensation. Tech tree is different that’s just small amounts of solver
Went from 3 round burst to full auto with a lower RoF resulting in TTK going up when using it. It def feels lackluster these days (especially for those of us who had it on release where it was THE best weapon in the game lol). While I am okay with it’s change, it def lost a lot of it’s charm and I would love it to go back to the burst (even if that also had issues due to bad servers).
That sucks in several ways as there are even now like two burst fire rifles, was there no other way to balance it other than completely changing how it worked.
