Testing the "Operation Neptune" update

Where exactly is the buff? Am I blind?

So what about the vehicle reload time changes? Will they ever be officially confirmed aswell?

Dispersion but thats it

wow - I won’t use it on BR II with that ROF :laughing:

Nice to see some historical (if very selective) Thompson ROF changes.
Might need some more spare ammo, though.

Changes to BR 2 Type 4&5 launchers from same report when?

BR 4 version was left out on purpose?

Brings it to a nice 69 when maxed.

Sniper version was left out on purpose?
Also, Type 100 rifle for event paratroopers is basically the same gun as 99.

Erma EMP 44 went from BR IV to III and now II lol

This is a really needed buff, it had really bad fire rate for a BR II bolt action rifle.

This was also a good buff, recoil was the only thing holding this weapon down.

Since we’re adding extra mags, I think Gorov LMG is one of the weapons that need some extra magazines. 20/40 without ammo pouch for an full auto only gun feels too small. BR II LMG like the Lahti-Saloranta/26 which uses the same magazine as the Gorov LMG has 20/80 without ammo pouch.

Other than faster fire rate, the AVS-36 20 and AVT-40 20 is a lot more practical.

I’m so happy that my favorite weapon has become much easier to use. I was getting really tired of the Lancaster 50.

Great change! (alongside a lot of others, G41 and Gerat 03 buffs were really needed, same with G43 Kurz ammo count)

Any chance the other Type 99 (Early) derivatives will get the same buff? (Type 99 with grenade launcher, Long Type 99 Sniper and regular, Type 100 rifle).

The late type 99 could do with a minor firerate buff too (same RoF as the old 99 early would be ideal, but same RoF as the Kar98k kriegsmodell would be fine too).

Would also be nice to see a firerate increase for the P14 rifle, and movement dispersion buffs for the P14, SMLE and Kar98k kriegsmodell to be in line with other bolt actions (15->8).

This one is buffed to 69 when maxed as well. Long 99s and 100 are unchanged.

Oh that’s great, thanks for sharing! The type 100 is (like you said) basically the same gun (irl and in-game), so should def be brought in line with the base 99 early.

Could do with an ammo count increase too imo (alongside all the other low tier para squads, the thompson para is gonna chew through ammo with its new RoF), to be the same as the high tier para squads (basically 1-2 extra mags over their base weapon variants).

Type 99 rifle (early): Base RoF 48 → 60

While the fire rate increase is nice, it’s still arguably worse than the Type 38 Rifle in BR1. I’ll take the increased RoF, muzzle velocity, and accuracy of the Type 38 over a little extra damage and reload speed. I wish there was a more compelling reason to upgrade once you hit BR2, since You’re probably already going to have a dozen or more fully upgraded Type 38’s on the cheap already.

Type 4 Rifle: Fixed damage falloff at longer ranges (similar to other rifles like the M1 Garand)

This is a move in the right direction. Now if we could do something about its accuracy that would be grand.

Type Otsu: Base recoil 66/34 → 49/25

Love this! Can’t wait to try it out.

Type Ko rifle: Reload time 5.4 → 3.6, Recoil 68/25 → 49/18

Oh how I wish this was in the tech tree. It’s everything that the Type 4 Rifle wants to be.

When the type 11 moves to BR 1

Still waiting for the Nashorn to be moved to BR3.

Also the A6M3 zeros with drop tanks moving to BR2 should be on that list along with the MkB 42H & Horn StG to BR 4.

The M1A1 historical rate of fire isn’t 700 rpm the highest I seen documented was 650 which would be 780 rpm for that

The ones that have 700 or more is the M1 Thompson getting the M1A1 sight protectors

So this is probably depicting a M1 conversion Thompson than a M1A1

Also the ZB-26 had a historically lower rate of fire

Yeah i thought it was an odd change too, might actually be worse for the gun too because it already has average recoil and bad ammunition economy

It has the same as the other thompsons issue come that when you get that and not increase the ammo reserve it falls more shorter than others

Can we acturally change the animation of Type 99 early? Now with 60 rof the animation is too fast to be seen almost!

No
