Scotti Rifle suggestion

Since it is no where close to being a BR5 weapon, and since BR4 is pretty much non existent these days, I suggest lowering the Scotti’s hit power to 10, increase the magazine size to 20-25 rounds while keeping it’s ROF at 570 and dropping it to BR3. Like with the German Mkb 35/III at BR2, people will only have four, and it would get used at BR3 where it most likely won’t at any BR level higher. IMOP it’s a BR3 weapon.

It would be Germany’s level three version of the MKB 35 III.

Maybe…

If it’s too much for the “mains of the other faction the staff is afraid to offend” however, I’d be fine just putting the thing in br4, but making it SF rifle, to be used by all classes…

Anything would be better than leaving it to rot at BR5. And since we don’t have any AR at BR3 it would be cool.

Soviet mains would complain about the hitting power, but they do get body armor and their level three SMG’s shoot almost twice as fast, so IMOP that evens them out. I play by far mostly Allies and Germans, so it wouldn’t bother me to be playing Allies and face Germans using it, and since we’re limited to four, people could only have one squad of them anyway.

Just a suggestion, I would be fine with it at BR4, but if I use any BR4 weapon I ALWAYS get bumped up to BR5, so I won’t use it at BR4 or BR5. Really IDK, I am having more fun just vegging out in my own custom matches anyway, and I can use it at BR3 there, which I do. :rofl:

The Dev’s never like my suggestions anyway, so it was DOA the moment I clicked the yellow box when posting it. :rofl:

Well, it can be balanced. Like MKB35 which is a unique thing, not OP.
Also, if someone complains about the variety, we can add fedorov 10 and 15 with some stat nerfs to BR2 and BR3.(Of course not in TT.)

This has to be a joke an assault rifle 20 to 25 rounds with 10 damage against the Thompson with 30 rounds at 8 damage, no maybe against a 50 round thompson
I know we can drop the Hyde 44 to br4 to face a 25 round scotti at br4

25 round scotti 50 round tommy
20 round scotti 40 round tommy
15 round scotti 30 round tommy

Fedorov should be a BR3 MG anyway.

Fg42 should be a paratrooper gun what’s your point

I think it’s too late to change it, so it’s not an option on the table.

People need to be realistic in their demands, it’s highly unlikely they’ll change the magazine, as it would require a complete weapon model change, and it’s also highly unlikely they’ll drop the RoF back to 570, as they’ve realized this is historically accurate. Now you have to think about how you can make this weapon usable with 15 rounds and 800 RoF. I know you’re dreaming, but this is how we have to work against gaijin.

The only rifleman, sniper, assaulter, weapon, mg, that belongs in br5 is the stg44 everything else is a work of fiction

As is the scotti is a br4 assaulter

I believe we should put it in BR3 with 800 RoF, 15 round magazine, decent recoil and 10 damage. This way a better version of the MKB35 and a worse version of the MKB 42 M will be placed in BR3.

The Mkb 35 is an assault rifle, has a 20 round magazine and a hit power of 10 at BR2. Yes, it has a pathetic ROF of 400, but the Scotti with 570 at BR3, and Thompsons have almost twice the ROF and a hitting power of 8.2 maxed, I don’t think the Scotti would over power a Thompson. :joy: NTM that the Allies have the 30 round level three Thompson, 30 cal with a 8.8 hitting power and a ROF of of 920, so, the Scotti is not going to over power any BR3 Thompson.
Thompson 30 cal
This, like the Scotti is a BP or event gun, so only a limited number will exist anyway. I have four of the 30 cal Thompsons I use at BR3. The Thompson shoots 410 RPM more then the Scotti, has less recoil and a bigger magazine, so the Scotti is not going to over power it.

I originally thought making it fit at BR 3 assault was the best option.

But someone dropped the idea of BR 3 MG.

As it was designed for anti aircraft, i Really dig the MG idea…can even get those bigger mags mentioned

And most Soviet rifles shouldn’t even be functioning so what’s your point as well.

I would support that idea too. But I think it’s highly unlikely that they’ll do that, so I’ll take the path I think they’re most likely to take.

The weapon only has 13 rounds in the current game when it comes to its model and we magically have 15 by the game logic and a Stinger exists too.

I’m not sure about the Stinger, that magazine seems a lot bigger than a 100 round magazine, but I don’t know and I won’t comment on that.
And about the Scotti magazine, I don’t see much difference between 13 and 15 rounds.
But I wouldn’t be against the 20-25 round magazine, but I’m sure they’re not going to do that.

Parrot just the fully automatic avt40 the rest worked fine
Love you do so great quoting me in a way that misses the point that gun at br4’ fighting 30 round thompsons is a joke
We can debate forever where the mkb35 belongs
But you buffed scotti is far better then any but the br5 50 round thompson
Germany gets a monster assaulter and us gets bent over a table

True but I’m just pointing out how lazy the developers are so it’s not actually 15 in the current game’s model when it’s only 13.
