Have we been told the reason yet…?

I would like to know as well…
With 30 rounds, Japan would have a viable AR, that could somehow hold it’s own against Hyde and betterstg44becausesoviet.
With 20 rounds, even if br 4… Japan doesn’t get anything good when facing br5, and nobody really pick just br4 either…
If there’s a reason, it would be nice knowing it.
For a change.

Nice! Great, Germany’s BR2 armament is slowly being restored now! We can also look forward to the two premium Panzer IVs from Germany making a comeback. Finally. It’d be best if they add a machine gun for the loader that can be controlled by the commander.

A tiny live server update just caused a bug on the Sd.Kfz. 251/9: if the loader dies, the gunner can’t reload unless he’s aiming down sights. When’s this gonna get fixed?

Probably to put something else there in br5, and they need something for br4 right now as well. It’s still viable in br5, 20 to 30 rounds isn’t that much of a difference. I use the 30 cal thompson religiously in br4.
There is the possibility that they’re going to put a 30 round version on Br5. That way they get something for both Br4 and Br5 with minimal effort

Perhaps.
But if so, they will in a future major update…
So they could simply have lowered the 20 rnds version THEN.
What they did just… don’t solve anything for it. Japan stays with a very weak AR compared to other factions, and nothing in br5…
And no answers from staff.
Well, I didn’t expect much anyway.
Well it can be used now in br4 and be brought into br5 as well until they do something, instead of putting it off until the next update making the Japanese br4 wait indefinitely.
why is the select fire rework being rolled back? While somewhat controversial obviously in all polls I saw on various platforms ppl disliking the changes never had the majority. And I thought devs dislike knee jerk changes. This update is not substantial without the br 5 rework.

What BOOO battle rifle rework was the best thing in the entire patch wTF??

Yes the thing that gave all other weapons in br 5 a place in the meta and br 4 a chance to shine was the best part of the update actually.
Almost all the people I’ve seen whine about it also clearly haven’t tried the test server with such claims as Scotti being useless now while federov being “not nerfed at all”

Yeah the type hei auto was actually one of the bigger winners of the update which he would realize if he played before crying.and the alternative suggestions are awful ideas that don’t address the problems with select fire at br 5 and instead only deal with br 4. It is impossible to make a weapon so good it’s worth ditching 9 man riflemen squads at br 5. So buffing other weapons isn’t the solution. And isolating br 5 still has select fires dominating creating a bland meta.
There are days in which I play over 30 matches a day, and in those games, I only rarely see someone actually run the 9 man on the enemy team. Maybe one every 5 matches, there is a guy on the enemy team using them. And if we are talking about using them properly, it’s 1 guy every 10 matches.
I would understand people complaining about 9 mans if in every match, EVERYONE was running them. But this is not the case. Not even close. Only clan people and competitive people for the most part use them. That’s a very very small percentage of the playerbase.
Go check in your own matches, how many people are actually running the 9 mans, and their position on the leaderboard.

body armor defender ahh argument

You are wrong because of 2 different reasons .
- You can get body armor even without buying it yourself on the assaulter squads
- Compared to body armor, both sides CAN use the 9 mans, but both sides can’t buy body armor.

Just cuz u anecdotally don’t see something often doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

How often something occurs and what it impacts does have an impact on the severity of the problem.
I think you stated that you don’t even play br5, so how do you know what happens there ? Having a 9 man is not an insta win condition, and in normal matches, an assaulter squad will perform at similar levels.
