Increase the ammunition of the TKB-264-42 from 50 rounds to 100 rounds, and then change it from BR4 to BR5.

You two don’t get it, he’s trying to restrict the BS soviet weapons to BR 5, while making this one no better than an RD-44.
No problem they reduce MG -43 -100 to BR IV and they can have it TKB-264 with 100 rounds xD
im a soviet mains and i love the idea lol

Yea, this weapon runs through 50 rounds fast.
I’m all for it. Besides it’s a BP weapon that I rarely use.
Having 100 rounds may make me have interest in using it.

I think it would be better to keep things as they are. Currently, gamers are either concentrated in BR 3 or BR 5. The number of players in BR 1-2 is greater than that in BR 4. Therefore, I hope to place more powerful equipment in BR 4 of each faction to attract more players to play.
Let’s focus on the German arsenal first. They have two belt-fed machine gun options: the full-power MG42 with the 100-round belt and the MG81, both freely available as tech tree weapons.
In contrast, the Soviet side mostly relies on the RPD-44, which is essentially an oversized PPSh. As for that flawed Tokarev model, a personally designed failure even its own designer disapproved of, its in-game performance is downright underwhelming. It’s just like a regular Madsen without any buffs.
Even if this weapon gets moved to BR 5, its accessibility will stay limited since it’s a battle pass reward, barely impacting the overall meta. You’ll rarely spot more than one or two Soviet players wielding it in a match, and its overall prevalence still can’t compare to the MG42 100-round variant.
Compared to other battle pass weapons, it is far from overpowered or meta-breaking. What’s more, adjusting it out of BR 4 would practically relegate it to BR 5 anyway. The current BR 4 meta is already unbalanced, and several weapons in this bracket deserve stat tweaks to match BR 5 power levels.
This is by no means bias against Soviet weaponry. I also have balance adjustment suggestions for firearms of other nations, proposing buffs or BR reassignments to BR 3 and BR 5. It’s common knowledge that vehicles at BR 3 can still fight back against BR 4 opponents, while BR 4 equipment stands almost no chance against BR 5 opponents.

After all, it is a battle pass weapon, so it won’t be widely owned. As a result, players will rarely encounter it in matches, meaning it won’t greatly disrupt the game balance.
The core advantage lies in its belt-fed design. Unlike drum magazines and box magazines, belt feeding frees it from strict ammo capacity limits. Given its belt-fed mechanism and the fact that this machine gun is modeled after the MG34 general-purpose machine gun, I believe equipping it with a 100-round belt would be the most reasonable setting.
