I’m gonna have to disagree for Normandy + Moscow still gets consistent PPD’s. I’ll admit Soviet LMGs suck on ROF though and admittedly so do American weapons but America’s lategame arsenal has no spread and hits hard with every bullet, and Browning having a slow-fire mode when it probably needed more ROF is still okay if you wanna do long-range…
unless you are m2 carbine because you can’t hit anything with that recoil and will deal less damage than a full starred grease gun even when it’s full starred too
M2 is the M4 of Enlisted except its vertical recoil is too much and the sights are fucking awful, but that doesn’t do enough to dissuade me from using it. M2 is borderline busted, and it has two spare clips unlike the FG42, which only has one.
i see you are a carbine purist like me, but you can do more with grease gun when fully starred since it’s got lower recoil and slightly more damage than m2 carbine, i kid you not the base m1 carbine does more damage than m2 carbine and the m1 carbine with the grenade launcher when fully starred despite firing the same rounds. though yeah i agree that both the fg and m2 carbine should have been limited to gunner and assaulter respectably

M2 has semi auto and double the capacity but it’s not a long range rifle… Ditto on the Grenade Launchers though. I’m thinking backpacks for Troopers in particular, maybe an extra large grenade pouch for obnoxious amounts of dynamite.
Ditto on the weapon balance, FG as gunner I can see, I tend to match the FG42 to the BAR and the STG44 to the M2 respectively, meaning rifle users should have access to the M2.
Grease guns are kind of okay, it’s sad that I’m actually missing them in the end but alas…

Probably for slight balance reasons… M2 can select semi and bounces the same as the M1 and just has double the clip to dump.
i don’t know if it is for balance since fg42 and AVS don’t have that +10% that the m2 does and both of those have both semi auto and full auto, and it doesn’t explain why m1 with grenade launcher doesn’t do the 8.8 damage as well

That makes no sense considering the trend with all the other guns in the game, though.
Honestly, the whole M1 carbine family of weapons just are strangely sub-par compared to everything else in game, with the exception of the Sten. The Allies in Normandy really just get the short end of the stick in general.
If you want to see a comparison via math with everything else at base to begin with;

Lol, probably a legacy mistake left behind by the devs.

Why thank you, I’ll take a look at it
