With the recent news about the nerf to the Automatic Rifles and the 9-man squads, I wondered if the nerf would affect the German airborne rifles armed with the FG with a grenade launcher and the Krieghoff FG.
I think the nerf to these rifles is a mistake, because even in their current form they are weaker than regular assault squads that include 7 soldiers at BR5.
I think the FG-equipped paratroopers can’t be nerfed because (by the way, the Auto Hei-equipped paratroopers can’t either):
there’s no alternative: Soviet paratroopers can be rearmed with any weapon, while the Americans have the Vickers and Thompson machine guns.
the FG grenade launcher has already recently been nerfed, and the Krieghoff has a very low rate of fire.
paratroopers have a long deployment time and a high risk of being shot down due to the enemy’s use of lead markers.
low flexibility: a typical assault squad has both an engineer with a saber and an armor-piercing specialist, or a radio operator.
Do the Paratroopers need a nerf to their FG and Auto Hei rifles?
Yes, the airborne with FG should also be nerfed.
No, the airborne with the FG Rifle should not be nerfed.
I’m writing this because I’m afraid they’ll nerf an already very weak weapon. Is that balance? That’s a rude hammer blow. Wasn’t the discussion about a 9-man squad? What’s wrong with the Para and the weak Battle Pass weapons?
Should the 6 Vickers Mk I No 2 machine guns be nerfed, or replaced with Lee Enfields? I’m not entirely clear on the concept of nerfing the Automatic Rifles, so I’d like to clarify this for all paratroopers.
This sounds like a radical approach to rebalancing all paratroopers, all factions at 5BR, the developers won’t be able to handle it to make historical setups.
Yes, I don’t like paratroopers in their current form: long landings, stupid weapon sets in the paratrooper’s box, 99% risk of being shot down by a fighter, anti-aircraft gun, machine gun, whatever.
Paratroopers are stupid crap. Partisans with a saber, engineers with a saber, they can reach any point on the map faster than the fd-up paratroopers can jump out of a plane. If they nerf this shit anymore, my nerves will give out.
Do not nerf squads or Fg42 or fg42 II. There op for a reasons thats why they are br4 and 5 we geinded that tech tree for this it you dont like it then dont play br4 or 5
…the devs can fix every problem with the game by doing two things… let noobs have ads…and let people pick their maps.
