reload speed of G41 is similar to MG34 reloading speed and Type 4 rifle reload speed is slower than the Type 11 LMG!

Never or mains will complain.

The G41 and Type 4 wouldn’t be so bad if they were more accurate than Soviet and Allied counterparts.
But they aren’t.

it would be far easier to just make SVT-38 clip reloaded and buffing both SVT-38 and Gewehr 41 damage to 15.3 which became the norm in BR3.

Maybe a took rof of mg-34 to a DP as well?

Well, you try to nerf SVT because of what? Because G41 have much time of reload?
Bring all weapons in the same stats then. Is it a hook for you?
ehh, you know what Im not even going to bring reason against you, there is no point so here let me troll you as well.
ah ofcourse by all means lets give MG34 3s reload from DPM, sure that will balanced

You running around and asking nerf an SVT. Off course you do not have any arguments. And a humor BTW
Well, if DPM will have a Mg-34 stats, its fine
You newbies feel yourself funny huh?)
If every nations br3 semi auto rifle isn’t magazine fed why should the soviets be the exception? Besides it wasn’t standard to give all soilders multiple magazines instead they would be given clips instead.

You mean that? Agree
Because the Germans actually used a mg with 1000rpm, if the soviets had fielded a 1000rpm mg then they should have it. Besides rpm and reload speed are different. Reload speed varies from soilder to soilder, so it can more easily be changed to balance a weapon. Whereas rpm can’t be readily adjusted because guns have a rpm they were designed to shoot at and most examples of that gun would have that rpm or a few points away from that rpm.
Nice try but this is clearly a false equivalence.
Well, in the beginning of war axis ain’t have semi auto at all, and even in a middle they can’t make something better then SVT. That’s why G41, G43 is worse. If you start about history I prossed.
It’s literally that simple to fix those weapons and somehow Gajin still struggles to do so
Tho I’d buff G41 reload to be more in line with Johnson rifle anyway because 4.8s is ridiculous
Also buffing BR2 semis to 15.3 damage and 5 rounds would make them much nicer pick compared to going for a high RoF BA but that creates another issue of BR1-2 bracket balance

S-tier ragebait my guy…
The SVT-38 was developed in the mid 1930s as a replacement for the AVS-36, which was determined to be unreliable in the Winter War. The SVT-38 saw adoption in 1938 (as its name suggests) but was replaced by the SVT-40 in (wow, you guessed it) 1940.
The Gewehr 41 had development that started in 1939, after Walther had already created other semi-automatic weapon designs. The G41 was officially mass produced starting in 1941, but by 1943 was already redesigned to be the G43, which then became the official semi-auto rifle of the war, with approx. 400,000 being produced.
“What’s the point here?” is what I’m sure you’re wondering. In the beginning of the war, BOTH the Germans AND the Soviets were in the process of developing and refining their semi-autos. Neither one was objectively more advanced or better (apart from the gas mechanism of the SVT-40, which the Germans captured, copied, and refined for the G43). Honestly, I could give a rip about whether or not the SVT-38 is “better” because it’s mag loaded; I’m fine with that because it’s historical. I’d want the G41 to have a buff to its reload not because it’s a “better rifle” but because it needs it to stay up to par with other guns. What I do care about, however, is understanding the facts of the gun you’re discussing. Don’t run around shouting that the G41/43 is “worse” than the SVTs because they were developed later than them in the middle of a war… the STG 44 is objectively better than the Fedorov Avtomat 1916 despite being developed and produced in the latter half of a losing war. Besides, the G43 is practically the SVT-40’s equal; they literally share designs!
If you don’t believe what I’m saying, here are all of my sources for this post; knock yourself out.

Now that I’ve gotten my nerding-out out of the way, I expect that I’ll get hated on for trying to reason… I’m not expecting much, but I will be pleasantly surprised if I get a civil response…

Indeed, G43 was an answer to SVT. The German Gewehr 43 (G43) or Karabiner 43 (K43) rifle was the German response to the Soviet SVT-40 self-loading rifle, used a similar exhaust system and was adopted during use SVT by axis.
G41 does not one hit down vs Soviet body armor, this combined with a terrible reload speed gives zero reason to use it over bolt action rifles.
also BR3 and BR4 SVT are practically the same gun, the lower damage doesn’t effect it much because germany has no armor.
this is a reasonable perspective, it is true that Soviets had advanced semi auto rifles and used them with great effect.
however, if this game is supposed to be balanced, so that both sides have stuff that makes them special, we should also consider that better SMGs, better rifles + unfair body armor is too much at the same time.
if G41 would one hit down, it would at least “only” have one massive disadvantage.
but to get back to faction specific stuff, remove MG dispersion and Germanys better MG would actually matter, but I guess MGs being a support weapon is fine in general, no need to change them for the 10th time. Also, I dare to say that the US should have the best overall semi autos instead of the Soviets, so unless we move M1 Garand to BR2, Soviets shouldnt be the one faction to have first magazine reloads.
