Hey everyone, I want to bring up a relevant topic in light of the new update. A lot of German weapons, like the Gerät 03, MP 35, and Gewehr 41, got a damage buff. I figure this is meant to compensate for the protection that cuirasses provide. But maybe we could stop applying these purely symptomatic fixes and actually deal with the root of the problem? How would you feel about removing the cuirass resistance in this patch from squads that didn’t originally have it?
Remove the cuirass resistance in this update?
And in that case, I’d suggest speeding up the G41’s reload instead and reverting the damage buff. What do you think?
Cancel the damage increase and replace it with a reload speed increase for G-41?
- Yeah, if they remove the cuirass resistance.
- Yes
- No

The G41 is following in the steps of the M1941 Johnson, which has 12.7 dmg base
Anything but removing armor protection lol

Look, even if the G41 gets 15.3 damage, it still won’t one-shot through a cuirass at any range except point-blank. In any case, reload speed matters more. The Johnson rifle’s reload is about 3 seconds, while the Gewehr’s is over 4.5, I don’t remember exactly.
This is quite literally the most egregious and cornerstone issue of balance))

I completely agree.
Customization shouldn’t affect balance!

If the Soviet breastplate remains as durable as ever after this upgrade to the G41 semi-automatic rifle, then it’s not just a matter of improving German Tier 3 weapons; it’s about completely abolishing the special treatment given to the Soviet “Iron Man” .

Well, you are wrong.
They’re just “balancing out” the past powercreep.
All those weapons you have mentioned were simply old and outdated.
Not that it matters. They’ll just buff something else somewhere in a minute, and the power creep will continue.
These changes are always the same old thing. They don’t actually make the game any more balanced. In reality, it’s just for the sake of change.
I guess they want to make it seem like the game’s content is changing in some way.
It wasn’t that the weapons were outdated, but rather that Soviet players had too many privileges

I’m a Japanese player, and not a single one of my semi-automatic rifles can kill an enemy wearing body armor with one shot, even at point-blank range!
While the Soviets can kill me with their semi-automatic rifles in one shot at 60-80 meters.
