I see more than 10 people voted No on this very basic change.
Also, not even one argument against it. Do you know why ? Because there is none. You can’t have 15.8 damage just because " Soviets stronk " is not an argument.
Like I said above, it already has the best ROF , the best bullet velocity and damage.
And as someone who plays both Germany and USSR a lot, I can tell you that AVS is way easier to control than the FG 42 II.
The AVS should be nerfed to a lower damage. Compared to the AVT, it offers higher ROF while still maintaining good single shot accuracy and horizontal recoil, so it is THE gun to use when winning duels. There’s a good chance BA won;t be removed, so in that case a soviet with BA and a reduced damage AVS is still a force to be reckoned with. It’s quite obvious that a high ROF can allow a gun to be competitive in COMP.
The outstanding advantage of the AVS is really a combination of its ROF and and accuracy in duels, the damage on top is just insult to injury for other factions.
