the only time i can udestrand it is when you are attacking a building with a squad of m1903, and the guy with the fg42 absolutely destroy you (real story btw).
You called??

it would be the same with an mp38 or a breda, if you attack in cqc, with bolt action a player with an automatic weapon

Its the Grey Zone problem make the Jumbo OP-feel, it is somehow “balanced” inside playable area.

As a player already played hundreds, or perhaps over thousand? hours to this game. I can say there’s still tons of balance issues need to be fixed. We can not just ignore them.
Yeah, asymmetric balance. But player will still tend to use the most high intensity weapons. That makes all other weaker weapons no use. And this game has severe problem of lacking new players, makes this problem even more significant.
Also FG42 is OP because it’s >10 damage, very controllable recoil, more rounds. And can be use across many roles.
Let alone FG42II infantry is coming.
M1, SVT, or even AVS dosent even come close to FG42.
That makes it by far my favorite choice for my German soldiers as well.
This does NOT mean that when I play US the FG42 users I meet are an unstoppable force.
In the typical engagement, the player that kills me with an FG42 would have killed me the same even if he had a Gw43. Or, in close quarters, an SMG.
As long as I have a Garand or an SVT in my hands, I can spam just as much lead at the FG42 as he can spam back. If he shoots first, he would have killed me anyway no matter the weapon; if I shoot first yet fail to kill him before my mag runs dry, the blame is 100% on me.

Why only the Jumbo? German tanks have the same advantage grey-zoning - the front armour is damn near impenetrable at all ranges
Of course most players will miss. That’s why we need semi and full auto weapons, with >10 damage, and less recoil and spread.
If you can aim and shoot faster, and accurate. Even bolt rifle is same for you. So why bother unlocks new weapons?
The balance is, with same level of players, the performance difference of each weapons.
The best argument so far was that the counter of US is M2 which makes sense as M2 is a PDW/ SMG-hybrid and not a battle-rifle/ LMG (and that rifle soldiers etc. could equip them despite the fact that their classes shouldnt have automatic guns).
FG should be limited to paras and/or gunners and M2 should be removed from Normandy and replaced with idk Winchester Model 1894 (since the US already have more than enough British guns).
Same opinion. Only thing devs need to do is add all the features to the vehicles (ju188 can defend itself) and fix major bugs such as the damn shaking of tanks in Normandy.
What I mean is that, in an even encounter (none is ambushed, both parties have comparable cover), the volume of accurate fire that other semiautos are able to produce is on par with the FG42, whose recoil in full auto nullifies accuracy beyond CQC range. And the larger mag is really helpful in a prolonged fight, but it gives no initial advantage over another semiauto.

You can one shot a PzIVH on 200m with a M8 frontally.

There you go: bots are still “unbalanced”. 
Two teams, one with average players but willing to use tanks, plane (?), make rally point, and other team only 50% human players… It’s most probably the player-only side that wins.
I’m happy with it this way (don’t wish to have overpowered bots), but unfair for those missing the proper teammates.
I hope the hinted new matchmaking will help to get similar number of players on both sides, but maybe not in the first iteration.
My fine young gentlemen your logic is sound and i too am fed up of seeing the kiddies on the forums complaining about anything and everything. The balance at least in my eyes is okay other than a very few things like ya know the shotgun nerf “cough cough revert it”
And the jumbo honestly i hated that thing in war thunder and i will hate it in enlisted because my hate for that thing will never change. Its fine though just flank it and everything will be fine.
Also the bots are kinda abit derp not gonna lie.
I just hope the devs don’t nerf anything else into the ground due to people complaining on the forums like ya know the shotgun, gajin just revert that damn nerf you know you want too just do it.
Hey gajin revert shotgun nerf hey heeeeeeeeey gajin listen to me when im talking to you fs!!!
wahhh daddy i got killed by the smg too much complains on forums
oh dear the lmg keeps killing me too much it must be overpowered complains on forums
Honestly nothing is really “overpowered” in enlisted as you can pretty much kill with anything and everything with ease and so can everyone else.

this and nothing have you ever seen the war thunder and heroes and general forum, a look and even the most positive person in the world ends up at the psychologist for depression.

I used to play heroes and generals a hell of a lot i vaguely remember the forums however i have never seen the war thunder forums.
Heroes and generals stuff got nerfed so often and so badly due to people complaining when nothing was even wrong.
Hence why i stopped playing it and moved to enlisted.

Thankfully the devs have stated before that they will not listen to the noise/complaining. If I recall Keofox said that
Honestly.
That is what many devs have said before them and they end up going back on there word XD
