When discussing with other players, I heard them said “AVS and FG is fully automatic rifle. So AVS and FG shouldn’t be nerf in the last patch”.
Is this reasonable?
I think based on the reason “We want each class of weapon to have its own niche of use.”, the rifles have automatic mode should also receive the some nerfing treatment. Otherwise it is impossible for me to replace them with bolts
They are select fire rifles. I dont think the guns need to be nerfed but I dont think every trooper, engineer, radio operator, flame thrower and AT soldier should have them. Maybe make them useable only by engineers or make a new class. Either way everyone shouldnt have them
M2 is kinda wierd
It might fit assaulters/ tankers better as IRL it was designed as a backup weapon for non combat units and is very similar to smgs/assault rifles
M2 wasn’t touched, m1c was touched to be like m2 and m1 with HE grenades which was a lose of 15% rof increase and a decrease of the damage upgrade from 20% to 10%. Fg42 still has these two upgrades btw
I feel the opposite has happened and that all select fire weapons were buffed, I’m finding that the AVS/FG42/M2 are significantly easier to control, like the Vertical recoil was reduced.
I don’t know how the game classifies them, but M2 Carbine is an assault rifle (although chambered in a rather weak round when in comes to intermediate cartridges), AVS-36 and AVT-40 are battle rifles, or at least I think that English nomenclature classifies them as such.
And then there is the FG 42. It was designed as a do-it-all weapon for paratroopers. It is select fire and chambered for a rifle cartridge, and it was meant to replace all weapons in their service. So it is a mixture of a battle rifle, semi automatic rifle and a light machine gun.
