Yes, I agree. But many people on the forum are biased.
Some guns could have higher and more realistic rates of fire, but they refuse to implement them, saying the current slow ones are fine.
I’ve even seen people claim that even if a round deals more damage on other weapons, balance should come before historical accuracy.
It’s just ridiculous.
Yeah, changing damage values would also be pretty ahistorical.
You can’t expect a full-power rifle round to be worse than a semi-auto just for balance.
I think BR5 is already high enough — we should just give it the proper historical performance it deserves.
Not a bad idea - in order to honour decard, we could actually buff that gun. As a nice “good bye” present.
While at it, we move all SFR to the MG gunner class to honour wastedwoodsman.
And we nerf Gorov rifle into the ground, because apparently Greyparrots thought this gun is the most biased gun the Soviets have - despite almost no one using it because of its bad sights.
Okay jokes aside → when PPD actually had a 50 round mag and a RPM of 1200, why not change it?
I kinda wish most perma bans would turn into 1 year temp ban max.
Yes alot of those banned people were annoying and didn’t really contribute much outside of complaining, but man decard wasnt all that bad - he made some good suggestions for sure.
