@Euthymia07-live Hi, I think this topic is important, and we need your help passing on future feedback. Thanks!

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!

This topic will not die down until a definative and final solution is achieved.

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All those weapons you have mentioned were simply old and outdated.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It wasn’t that the weapons were outdated, but rather that Soviet players had too many privileges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.

It’s simply not logical.

I would like to say that I am in favor of removing it and making it just an appearance item, but we could add a downside to it, like being slower when walking and sprinting.

Well, maybe they really should be rebalanced. If we take a historical approach, then with cuirasses you shouldn’t be able to, for example, crawl, nor carry ammo pouches. And cuirasses shouldn’t protect against rifle and intermediate calibers. In reality, they could only stop pistol calibers. And even then, roughly speaking, with pretty dubious effectiveness. Against small fragments, yes, they did protect. So actually, this could be implemented as a mechanic. Like, move it to a separate slot, reduce overall sprint speed, forbid crawling while wearing a cuirass, but add a mechanic like the Type Hei LMG - where it can survive a few hits from pistol calibers and then breaks, but rifle and intermediate rounds penetrate it without any damage reduction. That would reduce the frequency of cuirass abuse for stomping, but still add a certain amount of gameplay variety, atmosphere, and historical authenticity.

just do it im bored of arguing about this topic since i beggan to read the sheets 2 years ago

@Euthymia07-live Hi, it’s been about a day now, and as we can see, over 80% of those who voted are in favor of removing the resistance. Maybe you could pass this up the chain? The vast majority want this

On the Russian forum, such polls are often held as well. Actually, there’s this one “blogger” and he often rallies his subscribers to vote against it. That used to happen a lot on the RU forum too. The truth is that these polls are rigged by Soviet players.

Could he be apart of the NVKD?

Yeah, it’s the full package deal over there))
It’s especially bad when you can’t see who voted. Always make the voting public.
