Should LMGs get Semi-Auto Rifle Damage?

Damage drop that is only relevant for SMGs.

uh, I got news for you…

I’d argue current weapon upgrades don’t serve any gameplay purpose other than to increase the grind and (as you say) to counter vitality/armor.

well, only if vitality would get nerfed to 10% - 20% more HP instead of 35%, then you would counter vitality with weapon upgrades, because no gun gets 35% more damage after upgrading.

think about it, Vitality + Para extra HP or soviet armor is something like 45% extra survivability, imagine a MP40 would get 45% bonus damage after upgrade.

LMG’s IMOP should have more hitting power, not less, same as SMG’s, but I certainly would not detune them any further then DF already has.

Isn’t the damage the issue but the dispersion

@GeneralBrus

its more about the movement dispersion, you have to stop moving in order to make any hits

MGs are “heavy” weapon
It is impossible to aim accurately while holding a gun that weight like 10kg
They should be Inflexibly, but firing full power cartridge

LMG in enlisted got the worst aim down sight speed, worst sprint speed penalty, worst bullet dispersion penalties for being a heavy weapon. I doubt that devs would make them more agile to use but I agree that the damage could be improved given the fact that LMG having all those penalties at once.

The LMGs damage should be higher. Tbh if someone shot me with an MG 42 1 bullet id probably die
