Maybe I missed it posted somewhere, but wasn’t this supposed to have a rate of fire of 800? I just got my first three from the battle pass.

My best guess that it was supposed to be changed in the major update which got postponed next week, enjoy your neutered Axis Fedorovs in the meanwhile

Not like anyone will use it, it’s ammo is still 15. Ain’t worth using over thw MKb.42 M

Any other AR will be better than this overnerfed crappy gun. It’s Fedorov but 10x worse due tiny magazine and awful recoil + excessive unrealistic rof (HA is disabled only if it’s goal is to make German gun weaker).

Those changes are supposed to come in with the major update
Raise your voice while you can because with current 570 RoF the gun is really damn good
I kinda feel like… well… isnt the BR2 MKB technically just barely worse than this gun? I believe it should be better than STG for being an event gun, while also being better than FG42 for being limited to assaulters.
Right now this gun is BR4 at best.

10.0 dmg and 400 rof is just barely worse than 14.5 dmg and 800 rof?
(Currently present stats in game are incorrect, they’re going to be changed with “major” update)
Or have you meant MkB.42M?
Nono, 42M is definitely better than the new rifle,
Oh okay never mind, 800 rpm is a change, however I would still say its “high damage” is irrelevant because it doesn’t onw hit kill vs Soviets.
It doesn’t have to one hit kill soviets. Just remove the body armor effect, then everything is fine on that front. Ammo capacity on the other hand tho…

Yeah, I am struggling to find a place to use the three I have. As it is, it’s just not a good weapon at BR5. I would also think that if they dropped the ROF from 800 to 570 that the vertical recoil should be a little less then 78 as well. So now, IMOP it shoots to slow for BR5, has to small a magazine and has to much recoil for the current ROF. I guess another BP weapon that will probably sit in my inventory and never get used.
Why would I choose it over the Stg 44 or the MKb 42?

I don’t like the Fedorov at all, far to much recoil for me to be useful, so I don’t use it, and probably won’t use the Scotti either unless they make some changes. I would say that IMOP the Scotti is superior to the Fedorov, but not better then any other German tech tree AR I can use.
Scotti has much worse recoil, only dispersion is much better but it’s irrelevant if you have just 15 rounds at BR5. I don’t have much difficulty of using Fedorov all i need to have horizontal recoil perk and abuse crouching while shooting and you have superior gun to all AR in the game.
Nah Fedorov is still much more powerful as you have 25 rounds, lower recoil, worse dispersion doesn’t matter as you can just burst fire and dmg is the same as Scotti as Soviets have op body armor that always nerfs scottis dmg to pathetic levels. Even after buffing it’s recoil control it won’t change much as you will get worse recoil due excessive rof and your mag size is still awful.
There are not a single BR5 AR that is worse than Scotti. And Soviet AT-44 is king of accuracy you can easily headshot people across distance which makes it even better AR than Fedorov in hands of experienced player (headshot machine).
I see no point in using Naval Rifle unless we bring it’s dmg per shot to 15 even at 100m. Want 15 round mags? Then make it always 1hk no matter what. Otherwise it’s a worse gun than any other AR in the game at BR5. Even mkb42(m) feels better than Scotti. It will never replace STG44 from my Assaulters unless it gets buffed by a ton.

Are we talking about the same Rifle? Other then the magazine size, hit power and ROF, the Scotti is superior to the Fedorov IMOP. With the Fedorov and the three shot burst, I literally have to fire my first round at the enemies feet, otherwise two of the three rounds will sail over his head. 
I never mentioned Fedorov Rifle even once. I always been comparing it to Fedorov Avtomat. Yes both Scotti and Feddy Rifle are rifles but in game one is Assaulter AR and another one is rifleman SF rifle. Fedorov Rifle can be equipped by 9 guys in a squad while Scotti rifle only by 4 guys (or 6 on assaulter engies).
Besides you should look at dmg at 100m of Fedorov Rifle you will be shocked how op that gun is while at semi mode. Scotti sucks vs any other BR5 gun.

That weapon is just broken and it’s not meant to be used in Full Auto just use it in semi
I see, however you just said Fedorov, so I assumed we were referring to the same rifle. However the Fedorov rifle is listed as a Semi auto. I don’t play BR5 with the Soviets so I am not up to snuff on all their kit.
It’s still much worse. Feddy Rifle always kills in one hit even at 100m while Scotti struggles hard and never 1hk even past 20m. Scotti is garbage weapon and should get buffed by a ton. It should have 14.9 dmg per shot till 100m so it could 1hk Soviets with vitality and body armor. Right now it’s way too weak. And will become even worse with rof increase which will make gun even less controllable.

And God forbid we actually look at the Soviet weapons and their damage and if we even try to compare some of the stuff with the Germans.
No matter how many Scottis you will get you still not be able to beat Soviet weapons and body armor.

Just as the developers intended because we must appease the whales and let them kill as many seals as they want but when it comes to Germany we don’t even have that luxury or even for Japan.
