Simple, you will have nothing unique and will enjoy using a weapon that’s practically the same as it’s counterpart, maybe except for it’s visuals, well unless it’s a captured/or lend-lease variant.
Courtesy of symmetrical balancing.
I mean that is what a lot of people want apparently. No distinctive features or advantages/disadvantages across factions, just the same slop. At least it’ll be easier to balance I guess and there’ll be less whining from each side.
Well Japan does need a BR4 rifle and Axis dont even use the ZH-29, I cant even recall the last time I saw someone use it. Everyone picks the G43 by default (which is the only realistic BR4 rifle for Axis btw, so they are right to use it).
I won’t act like i ever used it but i saw a video of it with its pre nerf fire rate and that seemed like it was actually viable to use… maybe it had a better reload too i’m not sure but yeah… if they returned it to state state then it would be used
ZH-29 has the same fire rate as the G43.
I think that the G43 sights are just way better (one of the best in game) while ZH-29 has one of the worst iron sight of the game. Plus the G43 is unlocked earlier.

Has this been the same since its introduction? I’ve heard tales of a nerf and that it killed the weapon which is what i was referring to.
I dont remember any ZH-29 nerfs.
Ashamed enough as i am i will admit that theory was from a pardivision video… yet another reason to not suggest them for newbies or to watch at all.
Described the gun as having a fall from grace due to some adjustments.
