so your idea is to turn br5 in the same thing as the rest of brs? where AR/smgs shine and the other rifles AND mgs have some kind of mention to their stuff… this is the same thing as on the other brs with extra steps
meh if this is the way you want the things to be im telling you that it will feel like the others brs and bla bla bla br 5 is the only br i like because its not so variated weapon selection is high risk high reward type stuff and turning it on the same as always will be the same BS that other brs offer
Leave BR 5 as it is or at least make early SF be like the way you want and let the top weapon on their BR6 tier cuz on any other case i dont find any type of joy
It was the developers who decided to nerf the SFR, not us. We’re proposing a solution (damage 13.2) that will keep the SFR viable. Otherwise, the developers will break its recoil, which will destroy the class.
The main feature of BR 5 is that everyone has automatic weapons. I don’t know what others think about this, but I’m strictly in favor of keeping automatic weapons for everyone. And making other classes more relevant doesn’t equal destroying BR 5. Again, a nerf is definitely coming, and there’s no point denying it. A damage nerf is the most balance-justified and simplest option. Otherwise, we’ll get class restrictions, which are far worse than lower damage.
meh i preffer to make other classes have something special instead of obliterating the SF domain
recoil?
you know that ppl will just adapt and bs will still be the same thats why it wasnt applied because it only increased skill gap between newbies and ppl wasting its life playing this crappy game
also i gotta remind to you both that the devs will 100% for sure choose the worst option possible as always they cant even make their stupid servers work who said that they will listen to our words
im 99% sure whatever the solution they will come with will be absolute garbage or either players will once again set on fire the gaijin offices
That’s all well and good, but those are very general words. Give me something more concrete - how exactly can you buff assault rifles or machine guns to bring them on par with automatic rifles? Without nerfing the automatic rifles, it’s impossible.
i alredy proposed some solutions like making Ar users move like if they were using a sword and making them kings of parkour and things like that and yea their damage should be buffed too not like federov avtomav but at least something more decent
when it comes to machine gunners increasing the numbers of the ones that can carry a squad migth work and also give a little bit of variation on lower brs where Smgs are a headache + giving them some kind of distorition effect while firing like on HLL and reducing a little bit their top meta mgs sprint penalty to have someting close (yet not exactly) like rd 44 gameplay
BR is increasing, the lethality of the weapons is going up — 1, 2, 3, and then, boom, the equivalent of the 3rd becomes the 4th, and then, all of a sudden, the 5th — where one weapon should be at the 4th level, another at the 5th, and they’re still holding their ground as the top‑tier BR. So, you want to turn the 5th BR into the 4th, but on the 5th, so that the weapons of the 5th BR, which should be on the 4th, don’t end up facing the 3rd. What a cunning multi‑step plan. Don’t you want a 3rd BR so that the top‑tier (4th) periodically hits you? How is the 3rd stronger than the 2nd? Do you want some kind of madness with BRs, so that there’s no logical, even increase in weapon power?
The AV damage cannot be reduced. This is the only top‑tier rapid‑fire weapon with this damage that can be used universally with a universal squad. There’s no need to turn the 5th BR into the 4th; just strengthen all the other weapons of the 5th BR.
Select fire rifles were not widespread in WW2, they were unreliable, had uncontrollable recoil and poor accuracy due to extremely high wear and tear of the barrel caused by automatic fire with rifle cartridge.
As such, SFRs should be niche, rare and trade auto fire for accuracy.
When I play a WW2 game I want to see/hear:
PPSh, STG, SVT, Tommy, Garand, MG, etc.
NOT 3x9 and 24/7 lasergun proto-M16s and fakes like T20 and Autohei.
A player should be faced with balanced tradeoff options:
SVT with good accuracy but semi-auto OR AVT with bad accuracy/recoil but full auto.
It’s too late to think about such historicism. We’ve been printing paper for a long time, and people are coming out of the radio station. I believe that historicism has its place in events and custom matches. But we’ve created a game where historicism is relative — here, it’s just the theme and some atmosphere of World War II, not its simulation.
