SVT40 and G43 to BR3

SVT40 and G43 have NO obvious improvements compared to SVT38 and G41,which are BR3 now.At the same time, ZH29, SVT40 (15), AKT40 and other weapons in BR4 are obviously much better than SVT40 and G43.
So, I suggest that SVT40 and G43 should go to BR3, and for balance if possible , enhance Johnson and Type 4 too.

G41 has clip magazine, which is a major downgrade regarding G43.
SVT38 should be clip-fed but Soviet bias is not real and MP40 deals 0.1 more dmg or something like that.

I tell you, I don't see it happening. | Seinfeld (1993 ... - YARN

What actually needs to happen is the SVT38 be changed to a stripper clip so it is not a BR4 semi auto in BR3.

H-huh…?

I mean, sure, it’s nice getting confirmation that the SVT-38 really is a BR IV rifle masquerading as a BR III rifle - but the G41/43 comparison…? ‘NO obvious improvements’…? Come on, really…? That’s an argument made from ignorance, and it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Nerf SVT-38 by making it reload through clips (but give it standard damage for its BR) and reduce the reload on the G41, only change that should be considered.

Compared to higher damage, 20 rounds magazine or fully automatic function, the difference between magazine reloading and clip reloading is almost “non-existent”. Let BR3 further popularize magazine reloading instead of weakening SVT38------each faction’s BR3 should have its own magazine reloading.

Then you would have to move the garand to br2 as it is much weaker then the g43

It would not be fair on the current BR III rifles in game, who are objectively inferior to their BR IV counterparts. Congratulations, the US will now suffer because their Garands and Johnsons are not on the same level as the G43 - and the Japanese Type 4 will suffer from facing the dominatingly better SVT-40.

It would be even more unfair against BR II who have to put up with a a suddenly and massively strengthened BR III. Do we now start downtiering current BR III rifles to BR II…? Shit rolls downhill, lets not forget…

I also surely don’t have to explain the folly of arguing for Tech Tree weapons to be downtiered, because of much rarer Event/BP/Premium items…?

Just nerf the SVT-38, it is preferable to upending everything we know about rifle balance.

The advantage of the SVT-40 over the SVT-38 lies in its higher damage output. You might notice that hits from the SVT-40 are noticeably more likely to result in a kill rather than just a knock down compared to hits from the SVT-38. The SVT-40 is far less reliant on hitting specific body parts that take increased damage. The G43 holds an advantage over the G41 thanks to its detachable magazines, this allows for faster reloading and ensures a consistent reload time, regardless of how many rounds remain in the magazine.

Personally, I’m absolutely not a fan of rifles that require loading via two stripper clips, and I believe every faction should have access to rifles like the M1 Garand and the SVT-38. Japan could be given a different variant of the Type Hei/10 rifle, while Germany could receive the ZH-29, with its damage reduced to match the SVT-38—or perhaps another rifle from the ZH series.

10 rounds semi-auto rifle doesnt fit in BR4, it fit in BR 3. BR4 semi-auto needs to be with 15-20+ mag size.

this is why finding a BR4 match is the very low forcing u to match up to mostly against BR5.

BR1 BA, BR2 SA 5+ Rounds, BR3 SA -10+ Rounds, BR4 SA 15-20+ Rounds, BR5 SA/AR. all of these rifles has a 1 shot potential.

if the dev keep this current design then this BR4 problem will continue

ok Garand BR2 ?
Johnson - G41 stripper clip br?

There’s actually significant advantages between the G43 and G41, such as sight, mag over clip reload, between accuracy, improved damage range, etc. So it’s a no.

I think BR 4 semi-auto rifles getting a buff to be worthy on BR 4 would be a better solution

Annd nerf the svt 38 to stripper clips it did and could use them, magazines at rifle caliber were rare and expensive

Instead of moving them down they need buffs Buffing the ROF of all BR 4 semi auto rifles

literally why?

tiger 2s were rare and expensive, remove them from the game

Why should it be the only SA rifle in BR3 that is magazine-fed?

dont threaten me with a good time
7yes its good there were thousands of tiger twos because they were disposable use a tiger 2 for a hundred hours, and all the tiger two lost in the laundry. i mean every tanker got like two or three tiger 2 tanks.

lol… I’m on the side of keeping it how it is but you might need to have your faculties checked if you don’t even understand the reason why it should be changed.

Starting to sound like your brethren that was banished from this godforsaken place.
