The FG42 is now too strong, and the US counterpart is the M2 carbine, which is completely asymmetrical. Some people may say that the German tank cannot penetrate the M4A3E2, but in fact Sherman’s AP has a very poor aftereffect. Inability to effectively deal with German tanks. The threat is also very small, coupled with aircraft and explosive packs, tanks can not completely dominate the battlefield, this game is ultimately a game dominated by infantry combat, infantry weapon balance is the most important.

The FG 42 should be an LMG and the M2 Carbine should be an SMG. Neither were mass distributed to front line units and common foot soldiers and instead were both given to specific units (The FG 42 to some paratroopers and the M2 Carbine mostly to Combat Engineers and Mortar Crews)

But now in the game, almost all kinds of German soldiers can use FG42

i’m not sure where do you get those strange ideas of jumbos not performing very well, or every single troop in need of bars.
needless to say this should NOT happen, and should not EVEN be considered.
yes, it’s truee that the Fg and the M2 carbine should not be given to everyone. as we are pushing for make them usable only by one class.
but for no reason bar should be given to everyone just because you think it would be a good idea.
it’s quite the opposite. you are just reversing the problem.
Probably because every single german soldier is going to get a FG42.
not if we make enough post against it
pretty much like the jumbo discussion.
" gERmAns NeEd PaNThErS/tIgErS "
no.
nothing of that. you are just gonna give nightmares for M5s and M8s. it’s not a solution to begin with.
insthead, remove the jumbo and replace it with something else for BALANCE.
this last word should be taken in consideration.
when changing stuff. it ain’t that hard.
weather for the M2 and Fg42, the first one should be removed i guess, as far as we know, never saw action during normandy.
and the latter, could be limited only to MG/smg and snipers that are INSIDE the 3rd mortar battalion.
so you limit it’s use just like in real life.

Issue you is you already have the thing that can one tap all vehicles for some reason if you shoot an HE rocket and the explosion taps the back side of the tank with WFR or M8 rocket (have to land it pretty close for the M8 missile though.) It will ignore all armor.
For some reason 250kg bombs also seem to ignore armor it doesn’t matter where it drops, heck I’ve seen them go right through (as in the timer hasn’t gone off and just lands under me like someone tossed a TNT under my tank and 1 shots me. 500lb / 100lb bombs just bounce instead if they where not armed.
The M2 saw action in normandy just as the M1/M2 (no select fire) it was a conversion kit for the M1’s. More conversion kits where made than the FG-42.
Ah - such optimism - it is touching 
this does not have anything to do with balance if you ask me.
models are broken, HE are pretty questionable.
and until they adress this factor, i don’t think we can do much about it.
than i guess you have your answer.
nontheless, no weapons should be given to everyone. no fg, no m2s.
well, it did work in multiple occasions, and failed in others.
worths a try.
I think the bombs are wonky for the german side, or the usa side hasn’t be updated as those things will just bounce STRAIGHT up, I’ve had one bounce right up to take my entire plane 300-400 ALT in the air, not even dive bombing on the A-20.
I agree the FG42 should just be the germans T1 LMG (compare it with the bar) and the Mp44/M2 should be assault weapons that act like a supbar midrange gun. Either make the A2 use the 30 or 40 round antiair clip (same gun, just a 40 round clip).
So is the jumbo for Puma. You just like that kind of double standard. And historically sepaking Jumbo never even appeared in Normandie.
aren’t those the reasons i ( like many others ) stated multiple times that jumbo should be removed?
Really in any battlefield but normandy I just see jumbos as free loot boxes in a Puma, you just speed up behind it at 100kph, shoot once with a shell into the rear and boom, dead. Than run off at 100kph before anyone can shoot a piat/tnt you.
Puma is the god tier of the T1 imo.
the only reasons why it’s god tier, it’s due to it’s armor.
once that one it will get fixed, it’s going to be somewhat rare.
( as it should be i guess )
Sherman Jumbo counters
→ It’s slow, and it’s rear is a 1 shot from a sturm pistol. It’s the easiest tank to TNT kill
→ It takes forever to turn, so good tip charge it at an angle on the p3/4. Facing towards it at full speed as it can’t penetrate your front armor.
→ If you’re in a puma, holy fuck watch as you go 90-100 kph, get behind it and get rewarded 350+ points for solving the puzzle of… “Oh wow it’s slow, takes forever to turn… I’m fast and I turn instantly”
→ Any infantry covering it, have to stay in the open longer compared to other tanks, especially on a turn. Most infantry will advance past it leaving it defenceless and

interestring story.
nontheless should be removed.
plus, you just gaved additional points on why it should be removed.
We should remove the M8 and give us the M3 lee instead too. So we dont have
Bad tank/REALLY BAD TANK/Equal tank/ German cry baby machine because USA has one thing that’s good other than the A-20, and having the worst guns in the game.
