In the “Jet power update” two powerful semi-automatic rifles were added to BR2.
The Type Otsu moved from BR3 to BR2 and the Fedorov rifle 1912, a completely new addition to the game.
However due to the rushed state of the update, two things were overlooked that have to be corrected.
The Type Otsu
This rifle has no recoil whatsoever!
The Type Otsu has 100% recoil control because it was the weakest BR3 rifle, however it became a BR2 rifle and as such it needs its recoil control completely removed since other tech tree BR2 semi-auto rifles (except M1 Carbine) don’t have recoil control.

Note: the Fedorov rifle 1912 is listed separately because it has a unique feature: being able to reload bullets one by one when the magazine is not empty.
The Fedorov rifle 1912 has excessive damage compared to BR2 tech tree semi-automatic rifles thus breaking the general progression and balance.
The Fedorov rifle 1912 needs a small 10% damage reduction.
That is all, Thank you for your time and attention!
for Type Otsu?
hmm, yes that would make sense considering that its the quickest reloading BR2 semi-auto, but I dont think it creates a balance issue or would make Type Otsu better than BR3 semi-autos so I think its acceptable as it for now, it can be nerfed later if necessary.
If you think otherwise you are welcome to make a suggestion and bring some evidence.
I had to check it again to make sure it is indeed at BR2 now. It should now be compared with the American semi-automatic rifles at BR2. Just as someone mentioned on the forum, BR2 for the Americans is now a nightmare. Of course, ignoring the Americans seems to be a traditional practice on the forum.
the only tech tree US semi-auto on BR2 is the M1 carbine which is hard to compare with the Type Otsu since M1 carbine is a carbine as the name suggests while Type Otsu is a rifle thus its supposed to be better at longer ranges.
thats because Japan will always downtier from BR3 which was a huge mistake.
I was against that from day one.
US mains are among the least whining players, but I think US is mostly fine except on BR2 because BR3 Japan is bullying them.
I would like to point out that, even though it is not TT, the americans at BR2 have access to a very strong riflemen squad with the Liu Rifle which is similar, or might even be better with its 6th bullet, compared to the new Fedorov rifle.
Nevertheless I think that the M1 Carbine is too different to be really compared with the other semi auto rifle at thid BR.
Though I agree that the Otsu could get a nerf now that it is at a lower BR.
As if BR2 germany was any better…
Regardless the problem of BR2 usa is not the weapon themselves but the fact that Japanese BR3 is always downtiered. This is a matchmaking issue, BR2 USA has some of the best weapons at this BR (even more so with the Thompson…)
That is true, but the Liu rifle is an event gun.
Event/premium/BP guns are almost always better than TT counterparts (I don’t agree with this though) so DF can sell these.
Besides its a form of nerf that these rifles are limited in numbers unlike tech tree rifles.
