Has the ammo supply for the Gewehr 43 been raised? Because last time I looked, it was 30 (10+20).
Just checked, and I guess it got lowered
Yes, they recently adjusted semi-auto rifles ammo count to be more or less on par with bolt actions.
IMO guns doesnât need more nerfs, theyâre good. Problem is matchmaking when those PPsh and MG-34 guys get matched against level 1-6 beginners with shotguns and bolt-action rifles. There is no weapons for beginners to counter PPD, PPsh guys at close quarters.
Right now iâm playing axis Berlin campaign at lower levels and itâs completely off balance weapons wise. Most Soviet players already have PPD, DP-27 etc.,but I hope it would get easier with new unlocks. I also donât understand why early levels are so filled tons of useless weapons, they could just give us MP-40 from the beginning. But no, player must waste time playing and upgrading useless smgâs like MP3008 which wonât be used in later levels anyways. It was built IRL about 10,000 pcs, they werenât that widespread afterall but early levels in game are very based around rare but low-tier weapons, also in other campaigns.

I donât even spend orders to upgrade guns I know I will stop using once I get better ones.

I mean, I wonât spend silver orders on it, but considering the amount of time I know Iâll spend grinding to higher levels, when I reach a given pre-determined goal point, Iâll burn a bunch of bronze orders.
And upgraded âmehâ lower tier guns can stack up well to average / above average higher tier guns, though some do stand out to such a degree that youâll drop it even for a minimum star example, lol.
It helps that I now also have the data to plan things out in advance. I was guessing on stuff before.
Still LOL every time I mow down 3-4 entire squads with my PPD40DFZ and remember all the bitching and moaning about the MP41 despite this being 1000x more cancerous.

Feels like a very similar shot spread to me, i havenât noticed any difference between gewehr and fg42 in terms of spread, just went and shot them off in testing grounds and they looked the sameâŚ
FG42 has 40 rounds, vs the Gewehrâs 30. The FG42 also has significantly lower recoil per shot, both vertical and horizontal (about 20% less horizontal recoil, and 45% less vertical recoil). Shot spread at range is the same between the two in testing on my part as well. By my damage efficiency calcs in my campaign weapons comparison threads / tables, the FG42 is 4x more efficient at killing at close range than the Gewehr if youâre spraying bullets too. (this considering both hit probability as a function of recoil and the difference in time to kill.)
That may be true, but with the fg42 I tend to switch it to auto when things get intense, so I end up going through it like butter hehe
