And maybe You didint readed all My statements where i said “lets just close the Pandora box” and see how the ARs with cracked dispersión perform… Along the SF

Maybe the best idea is to do it with baby steps, like nerfing reload speed, or by increading recoil by 10% instead of how much they did it in the test server.

My point has always been that u can’t make specialist weapons good enough to beat select fires in their current state simply cuz of the squad layouts select fires give you. Regardless of how much u buff weapons
Hmmm i like this idea Tbh that would make SF less revelant without just straight up killing them
And to clarify yes I’m very upset the changes didn’t go through cuz now I gotta wait 6 more months till I find br 5 worthy playing.
But no use crying over spilled milk.

Yeah one shotting low recoil decent kills per mag and available to everyone. I don’t see how you can make a different weapon type more appealing esp given the squad system in enlisted. And also to bear in mind buffing things also worsens the other problem with br 5 rn. Its relation to br 4.

Who knows maybe ppl Will find that both can coexist and blah blah blah

I have also played with the thought of making them have MG like damage with just under 13.5 damage, but I think it would be a shame if they lose their one hit down power, cuz thats what makes them unique to begin with.
Giving them two hit downs would turn them into assault rifles with smaller mags but longer range power - which for balance itself would make alot of sense, but again it would hurt gameplay variety.

Making BRV even stronger changes nothing about the main problem. BRIV being oppressed by BRV content. Yes every uptier is harder than just fighting the same BR but the difference in power between BRIV and BRV is incredibly large. A standard rifleman gets twice as much ammo per mag, fully automatic fire while keeping the same damage per shot. Buffing ARs makes the issue larger instead of lessening it.

to be honest. I have been playing only on Auto rifles for 2 years now, which is why they are very boring and because of the monotony I have lost the desire to play. I can play Auto rifles. Their current appearance is beneficial to me, and I have setups of Fighters with Auto rifles for all Factions. But I’m already sick of Auto Rifles that kill all other weapons by 5 BR, as well as completely kill 4 BR.

This game has been released for almost 5 years now, with many minor adjustments made to SFR, but the overall recoil has not changed much, and players have become accustomed to it.
And I dare say that in the past two years, the recoil of SFRs has indeed increased. Previously, the recoil of FG42-2 was a perfect diagonal line, but now there will be more horizontal recoil.
The scale of this weakening is way too large, of course it will face many opposition.
Another issue is console players. I haven’t had a detailed understanding of this matter, but it seems that console players have very different weapon choices. I saw console players complain that SFR is difficult to control, and assault rifles are a better choice. If the recoil of SFR is further weakened, it may have a greater impact on console players’ weapon choices? Assault rifles are easier to use, which is definitely an advantage.
There’s no room for improvement unless you want every BR5 weapon to be laser gun with no recoil and no downside whatsoever.
ARs are completely fine. SF rifles are clearly overperforming. And recoil nerf is definitely needed and most logical thing to do.
It just shouldn’t be implemented in so incompetent way like it was on test server.
(Btw. I think test server nerf was still better than doing nothing, but whatever. Minmaxers were infuriated they would actually be forced to compensate for recoils in fps game)
