Yes, it needs optimization. At the time, I thought this weapon looked very interesting, so I bought it. However, the attributes of this gun make it impossible for me to compete against Americans in the game. If possible, please optimize its fire rate (suggest increasing it to 350) and recoil. For vertical and horizontal recoil, I recommend 32 for vertical and 17 for horizontal (so that its recoil is neither higher nor lower compared to the late model Type Hei). Also, optimize the reload speed to 4.5.
Well, how should I put it? It’s another victim of semi-automatic weapon balancing. I think DF at least gave the SVT a solid baseline—its stats are pretty good. After this buff, I believe all semi-autos should be more viable now. However, the Garand currently has serious spread issues; at close range, it’s even easier to miss shots compared to German semi-autos. The spread problem in Enlisted remains a headache, and I suspect that stupid random dispersion mechanic is still screwing over these semi-autos. Add to that the annoying shaking that happens after holding your breath for just a short while.
I bought this high-tier engineer too, but the weapon is garbage. However, those two Japanese store weapons perform exceptionally well—even better than the SVT. I think it might be due to some ancient code kicking in. DF really needs to fix the spread issue when buffing semi-autos this time. Otherwise, all the semi-autos I bought for Germany—like the Walther, the Mauser G41, the engineer’s semi-auto G41, and others—might as well be swapped out for a ZK383.
Are you insane? 32 vertical and 17 horizontal? The Type Ko’s vertical is already better then two of the three US BR3 Semi auto’s, and it’s horizontal is basically right in the middle. I would have no problem with lowering the reload time and a ROF increase to 350 though as to be honest, 290 is too low for any BR3 Semi auto.
I see someone proposed to increase the Ko’s stats to the Johnson…Ok, the Johnson shoots 350, has a vertical recoil of 90, horizontal of 20 and reload time 3.4. So, increase the Ko to 350 ROF, 90 vertical, 20 horizontal, hit power to 15.3 and drop the Ko reload time to 3.4. I could agree to that. I remember when people were complaining that the M1907 Winchester was too good and needed to be de buffed, and it’s stats are worse then the Hei.
I doubt the Dev’s would change the Ko to the requested specs anyway, but if they did then could we also request reducing anyone of these three Allied Semi’s to 32 vertical and 17 horizontal as well?
Cos poor workmen always blame their tools… then land you with a heft repair bill for added labour time cos they sucked less and could have done better xxx
32 vertical and 17 horizontal?
