Despite being called a machine carbine, the Mkb42(G) (Gustloff) was a self-loading rifle chambered in 8mm mauser with 10 round detachable magazines. It was designed to keep the German government happy while work on the other Mkb42 rifles were underway due to the initial skepticism around the 8mm Kurz cartridge.
This rifle should be balanced like the soviet SVT-38 so that Germany has a rifle that is more on par with the M1 Garands and SVT-38s they face at BR3
yesss
Wouldn’t it be easier to just make all tech tree BR3 rifles clip reload?
Right now only SVT-38 has magazine reload while all other BR3 semi-autos must reload via clips so changing SVT-38 should be easier then adding a magazine reloadable semi-auto for all other 3 factions.
Same one it one kill or down 8 vs 10 round magazine I assume this guy will have a slower reload than the garand otherwise it’s equal the same as segregation sperate but equal ,worked, in america
Agreed, full-powered magazine fed rifles belong in BR IV, existing BR III rifles just need adjustments not continued power-creep.
The rifle itself would be a interesting BR IV BP weapon though.
The m1 garand basically functions as if it reloads with magazines
The m1 garand and SVT-38 are never being nerfed and I can bet on that
I would prefer the Mkb42(G) to be BR3 so it can see action in early war campaigns
Power creep would be like giving factions 15 round semi auto rifles like the Hino rifle at BR3. It’s not power creep if I’m asking for 1 faction to be brought up to the standards of the other factions.
Thinking about this, I think top BR2 SMGs are generally more effective in medium range combat than BR4 semi auto rifles - so maybe instead of nerfing all BR3 semis to have clip reloads, buffing BR3 semis could make more sense.
It does reload quick enough - but M1 Garand has not optimal iron sights.
If semis would get buffed generally speaking, M1 Garand should have a special place in the game, for being the most iconic ww2 semi auto gun.
Maybe its damage could get buffed to 18 or something, 30-06 is quite a big round.
Shouldnt we nerf the over performimg SMGs instead?
Yes, but PPS43 and Thompson will most likely not get any nerfs, considering they even buffed Jap SMGs.
To be honest, I can understand the devs when they give lower gear more power - new players dont stick long to the game when all they have is bolt actions…
However that being said, the devs could also add semi auto carbine pistols to BR1 TT for keeping those new players inside the game. You know, like Artillery Luger with a stock - such guns as alternatives to bolt actions wouldn’t hurt the game at all.
insane opinion
Okay actually I might take that one back - I play with 50 - 60 FOV → which is not normal and I should see a doctor, but yes in this case those round hole sights do take away some vision.
Ignore what I said.
the famous ten round garand
yes 6 rounds is br2 but 8 and ten rounds are br3
br3 8 rounds, or a ten round fed by stripper clip br4 10 round magazine, fix the svt 38 or give the us the johnson sport
literally where did i say the m1 garand had 10 rounds
Mkb42(G) for BR3 Germany you implied the mkn42g belongs in the same br as the garand so its reload would have to be 4 seconds
sa not sniper down kill in one shot so you nerfing damage wouldn’t matter unless it went to two bullets for down kill, dispersion would not work as there sa, you could make reload 3 seconds if you dropped the garand to 2.25.
I have no idea what you’re blabbering about. I want Germany to have a full-powered rifle with a magazine reload at BR3
i want the us to have a proper br4 smg, i want the us to have a proper br4 mg, i want the us to have a proper sa br4 sniper i want the us to have a br4 rifle how does it feel to want this gun is better than the johnson and the garand, yeah i write poorly but you read poorly.
you cant nerf damage to a sa
its always going to be a one hit kill
you cant nerf dispersion
which leaves reload time
if the garand remains at 3.3 second this gun needs a 4 second reload
if this gets a 3 second reload the garand need a 2.25 second reload
if this gun can kill a soldier in one round having the thompson have more damage is a difference without meaning.
br3 guns need to have an eight round reload or two five round reloads
the svt-39 is broken down ask for power creep demand the svt 38 be nerfed
how is the eight round garand equal to the ten round mkb42g, if it was eight round id love it, ten its br4
