SARS definitely needed at least some degree of horizontal recoil, both to more properly distinguish them and to better balance them against other classes.

forest cosmos
#

to be honest BFV gun variety is surprisngly bad

#

for a ww2 game

#

like they have interesting guns yes

gray saffron
#

which bf has the best variety in your opinion?

lean cosmos
#

Why is playing the most popular class in Battlefield 1 a crime?
Because it's Assault

gray saffron
#

whoa, punny jokes about battlefield, i love it

south radish
#

Bf4 had the most weapons to chose from imo

gray saffron
#

bf4's variety was lacklustre imo. lots of guns were just copy pasted stats

sick hamlet
#

Most weapons to choose from isn’t the same as variety in terms of how guns actually perform.

Only so many ways to make a meaningful distinction between 6 assault rifles all firing 5.56 at 600 RPM

south radish
sick hamlet
#

More is not alway better

uneven hollow

Where’s my sniper M1 garand

south radish

sick hamlet
#

For Recon in BF4 your choices basically boiled down to “pick whichever has the highest muzzle velocity”

uneven hollow
#

leo I like to have varieties

sick hamlet
#

That or one of the carbines

south radish

hah

I’m a lad for all not for one

what the fuck

#

is this gun from BF4

#

M3 Infrared

tight rain
#

It is not

lean cosmos
#

Why do Scouts need deodorant?

Cause they're so SMLE

sick hamlet
#

M3 Infrared was a legit thing.

fervent pivot
#

such modification

gray saffron
sick hamlet
#

Though I’d honestly rather it have been a Spec option for the M1.

gray saffron
#

used heavily in pacific theatre

sick hamlet
#

Likewise StG-44 should have gotten a spec for its own IR scope

#

...it was only used heavily in Korea.

#

The only place in the Pacific the M3 was used was watchmen on Okinawa

proven charm
#

M3 infrared was used by the US but given to the brits since the muricans didnt find a use for it

sick hamlet
#

We’re talking maybe 1000 at best used in that case for the Pacific

fervent pivot
#

wait battle currency

#

thats other than coins

uneven hollow
#

Where’s our night vision StG44

proven charm
#

yeah

sick hamlet
#

It basically looked like M3’s gear in-game.

proven charm
#

vampire stg44 thingy

sick hamlet
#

Bigass IR flashlight on top of bigass scope

uneven hollow
sick hamlet
#

Shoulda been a spec option

finite gull
#

Yeah but it would still be kinda pointless

#

There are only two night maps in the game and they require you to play on GO to access them

sick hamlet
#

Likewise, the STEN with its integral suppressor. Or the suppressed Nagant revolver

uneven hollow
#

But yet we have an infrared

finite gull
#

A nagant revolver would’ve been nice

proven charm
#

gonna go play with the smg 08 in bf1

finite gull

If we had the Soviets

proven charm
#

fun gun

sick hamlet
#

What they did to the MP34 is a tragedy.

tight rain
#

Shame they didnt add soviet guns

finite gull
#

We got like one

sick hamlet
#

Likewise the S2-200

tight rain
#

Would love to use the garbage rod and the svt

sick hamlet
#

BF1 has more Soviet guns than BFV

proven charm

MP34 is significantly worse than I'd expect it to be as a lvl 16 unlock

yeah

its a good mmg tbh

Yea seen some lads use it

#

SOVIET GUNS

#

PPSH

gray saffron
#

I like its low rof tho

proven charm
#

i use the 34 for mid range maps

fervent pivot
#

OH MY HODD

proven charm
#

no ppsh since we've got the suomi

sick hamlet
#

The S2-200 in-game clearly has the 25-round magazine of the Hungarian model. They could have gone with that and made it a flat 5 BTK damage model at all ranges and made it unique

finite gull
#

The closest thing we have to a PPsH 41 is the suomi

sick hamlet
#

Instead is just worse MG34

uneven hollow
#

But yet no frenchy or Italians Sadcatthumb

proven charm
#

Soviets copied the suomi design for the ppsh

finite gull
#

It hurts even more because the Suomi had a drum mag irl

71 drum mag

gray saffron

71 bullet

finite gull
#

And all we get is a chonki mag

sick hamlet
proven charm
#

nah the design is completely similar

finite gull
#

Again, although they would’ve been nice to have they’re ultimately pointless if there is no Eastern Front to use them on

proven charm
#

air cooled, small in size, identical stock

sick hamlet
#

The PPSh-41 was a simplified PPD-40 which was developed from the PPD-34

finite gull
#

Finnish and Russian guns are similar because they both fought in the 30s

sick hamlet
#

Mechanically the Suomi and PPSh don’t have much in common. It’s like saying the AK is a copy of the StG when that very much ain’t the case and they only share external similarities

proven charm
#

fair enough lol

fervent pivot
#

wait what

#

there is bayonet charge

finite gull

Only as a specialization

tight rain

Yep

How many kills?

golden ocean

too much

tight rain

Good question

#

Dunno

finite gull

I got like 4K with the thing

tight rain
#

I usually use it to suppress people

#

That’s definitely more than me

finite gull
#

The soldiers at D-Day hate him!

sick hamlet
#

There was actually a Soviet copy of the Suomi made, the KF-42. But that wasn’t until well into WW2 and didn’t see much use.

finite gull

Keep your French beaches clean with this one simple trick!

Damn the free login japanese hat looks so big

Still wondering why we never got the Type 99 LMG or Type 96.

they should make a battlefield 5 d-day ap

for omaha juno gold sword utah

maybe not

finite gull
solid hinge
#

Why

sick hamlet
#

Also, we got a stealth Benet-Mercie in BFV

tight rain

Cause support for bfV is done

We’re not getting anymore content leo

They stopped supporting 5

6 would have been ideal (US, UK, GER, ITA, JPN, USSR)

solid hinge

and maybe africa

#

i mean the north african campaign

sick hamlet
#

Italy is sorely under represented in WW2 games

solid hinge
#

Yes

sick hamlet
#

Even though they had some cool shit

finite gull
#

IDK why but I feel like the inclusion of Italy would be pointless

solid hinge
#

there is almost no italy

paper rapids
#

I wouldve liked Italy

solid hinge
#

me to

finite gull
#

DICE already has to go out and get all of these specific weapons and tanks and planes from the faction

solid hinge
#

what is battlefield 6 gonna be?

tight rain
#

We dunno

solid hinge
#

i think vietnam maybe

finite gull
#

And they have to add specs and skins to them

solid hinge
#

maybe vietnam?

golden ocean
#

I'm afraid I know

solid hinge

that would maybe be cool

finite gull
#

Most likely modern

solid hinge
#

Yes

tight rain
#

Hardline 2

finite gull
#

Which is fine

sick hamlet
#

Eh, Italy gives us the Carcano, the Lanciabombe, the Breda M.30, the P.40, the various Semovente assault guns...

solid hinge
#

i havent played hardline cause i hate myself

sick hamlet

Granted we have the Carcano carbine already but still

tight rain
#

Hardline is great

solid hinge
#

cool

#

is it modern?

tight rain
#

Yep

finite gull
#

Yeah but they really weren’t that significant

#

They literally were Europe’s soft underbelly

tight rain
#

Its dead though so i wouldnt bother getting it

golden ocean
#

Humanoids got upset because it was the only battlefield with police vs gangsters

finite gull
#

It’s not dead on console pogrich

sour stratus
#

italy in ww2 be like 🛌

sick hamlet
#

Italian weapons could have had two damage models because quite a few were made in both 6.5mm and 7.35mm.

finite gull
#

I love it when I see people get upset that the MG42 takes longer to kill than the Kar98K even though they both use 7.62 Mauser rounds

solid hinge
#

yeah

finite gull
#

Like yes, let’s have a two shot kill MG42 I’m sure the player base would love that

tight rain
#

Yes

solid hinge
#

i thought the kar98k had higher caliber

sour stratus
#

ah yes

golden ocean
tight rain
#

I would be a happy man if the 42 could 2 shot a man

solid hinge
#

but when i found out a 2 shot mmg would be so op

#

omg i would stop playing battlefield

#

forever

sick hamlet
#

A bit more off-putting is that the Volkssturmgewehr and the 1-5 have different damage models despite being the same gun

sour stratus
#

a gun with a RoF similar than the type 2a 2 shotting everyone

#

sounds fun

sweet moss
#

"8mil mauser"=7.92

sick hamlet
#

Basically the same for the M1A1, M2, and M3

solid hinge
#

i dident know that cool

golden ocean
#

IF BFV was "realistic" (painful) MG42 would OHK anyone at any distance through almost all materials including brick walls

#

It essentially uses 7.92x57mm but ARMOR PIERCING

solid hinge
#

if it was realistic getting shot by a kar98k in the head would kill you in 1 shot

sick hamlet
#

And the Boys AT would do more damage to vehicles while the Panzerbuchse would be a hitscan railgun

finite gull
#

If BFV was realistic the Tiger 1 would move five feet from spawn then break down from transmission failure

solid hinge
#

also if you got shto in the leg you would be wounded

sour stratus
#

if it was realistic we shouldnt be able to get revived after taking a 88mm shell to the head but here we are

solid hinge
#

Yep

tight rain
#

Most guns would kill instantly if bfV was realistic

Seriously, why no granatbuchse spec for Panzerbuchse?

solid hinge

also getting run over bye a tiger

IF BFV was realitic we could rocket jump in the game

Meanwhile the IRL Panzerbuchse has a 2km/s muzzle velocity

solid hinge
#

i wish they had the panzershreck in the game

golden ocean
solid hinge
#

that would be cool

golden ocean
#

that'd kill the crew

finite gull
#

It’s in the files and reveal trailer @solid hinge

solid hinge
#

oh i aint know that

sick hamlet
golden ocean
#

yes

finite gull
#

Yes everyone would love spalling in BFV

sick hamlet
#

Or there’s the Mors AT rifle that doesn’t rely on penetration at all and just goes splat against the armor with soft lead

golden ocean
#

But panzerbuchse velocity was so fucking stupidly high even with that small ass 7.92mm bullet it would make an unbelieveably hard impact

sick hamlet
golden ocean
#

And even tho the bullet was smaller if it was filled with tungsten carbide penetrator it could penetrate all WW2 era tanks

#

It wasnt tho

sick hamlet
#

Meanwhile Mors don’t care about penetrating armor cause it just smacks hard enough to dislodge a 20-25mm piece of steel on the other side to gib crew

solid hinge
#

im suprised the allies won the war with all the panzers and tigers

golden ocean
#

It's all about the (velocity * mass)^bullet material

sick hamlet
#

Unless you’re deliberately going for spalling effects.

#

Like the Mors

solid hinge
#

in playing bf5

brave coral
#

i mean

sick hamlet
#

In that case they wanted a projectile that splattered as wide as possible while going as fast as possible to dislodge as big a chunk on the other side as possible

tight rain
#

There werent a lot of panzers or panthers

brave coral
#

1300 tiger tanks vs 50k shermans

sick hamlet
#

Panzer is a catch all term

tight rain
#

Not to mention they were real gas guzzlers

sick hamlet
#

And the bulk of Tigers were deployed to the Eastern Front

tight rain
#

And questionable reliability

gray saffron
#

tigers etc were super costly to reproduce and germany was fighting on three fronts

glad dirge
#

The tigers used petrol engines...

golden ocean
#

If a Tiger wasn't crewed by unexperienced scared kids it could take on 20 shermans at once

glad dirge
#

All I need to say

sick hamlet
#

Panthers were almost exclusively deployed to the Eastern Front and there’s only like 3-4 accounts of encounters with King Tigers in Western Europe and those may just be mistaken identity

golden ocean
#

There were cases when a single tiger outgunned 50 shermans at once

solid hinge
#

anybody wanna play?

golden ocean
#

One case to be precise

glad dirge
#

I love the tiger but even I admit it was a problematic vehicle

#

It wasn’t the best by any means

sick hamlet
#

The Tiger is vastly overhyped as a vehicle

glad dirge
#

Yes

solid hinge
#

i think the panzer is better

sick hamlet
#

Point of fact, late model Sherman’s actually had frontal armor effective thickness more or less equal to that of a Tiger

golden ocean
#

It stats were amazing, but technical problems and bad crews made it bad

#

And only mid-war tigers were that amazing, they had uber-quality german alloy armored steel

glad dirge
golden ocean
#

late-war models armors were a lot weaker

uneven hollow
golden ocean
#

trashcan steel tier armor

sick hamlet
#

The Tiger had 100mm of near vertical frontal armor that came out to around 110mm. A basic Panzer 4 from about 1942 on had 80mm of vertical frontal armor.

The Shermans with from the E8 on with their 64mm frontal hull came out to around 98mm effective thickness.

golden ocean
#

even tiger 2

glad dirge
#

Panzer 1 is better than tiger guys laughexe

sick hamlet
#

And then there’s the Panther with side hull so thin it was vulnerable to AT rifles

glad dirge
#

The single panzer 1 at Tobruk with tigers trollface

sick hamlet
#

And a turret motor so weak the Panther couldn’t properly traverse the turret on moderate inclines

golden ocean
#

late war tiger armor was so bad even when shot with a rifle bullet it could chip off and kill crew

sick hamlet
#

And a final drive that gave out after just 150km while having a maintenance system that basically required removing the entire engine with a crane to get to it.

#

Imagine having to do a total engine overhaul every 150km.

#

On average

#

If it was added to BFV it should have had a unique effect where the engine takes critical damage for every 1 minute of driving or something like that

tight rain
#

Why would anyone ever want to use it

sick hamlet
#

Because Panther and big gun

golden ocean
#

a middle ground between Panzer 4 and Tiger 1

sick hamlet
#

Despite the 75mm L/70 being kinda pointless

glad dirge
#

Panther would have been nicer than a flakpanzer

golden ocean
#

it would have been

sick hamlet
#

Then again, the Panther did have a gas turbine trialed on it so that could have been fun.

#

Imagine a Panther as fast as a Puma

glad dirge
#

There was a handful of flakpanzers used and the Valentine AA wasn’t even a thing from what I can tell

sick hamlet
#

Valentine AA is a hybrid of a Valentine chassis with a Crusader AA turret

#

Speaking of, sad we never got the Crusader

#

Or a 105mm howitzer for the StuG

glad dirge
#

Since lists of Valentine variants don’t actually have the AA conversion schlagg

sick hamlet
#

Where muh StuH at DICE?

golden ocean
glad dirge
#

The StuG with a competent crew is so good

glad dirge
#

Dice gimme StuIG

proven charm
#

all it takes to make me play bf1 is to open it

sick hamlet
#

With the cosmetic model changes they introduced with the Chi-Ha being three tanks in one we could have even had the StuG turn into a Jagdpanzer IV with a 75mm L/70 upgrade

proven charm
#

great game

golden ocean
#

I meant come back

sick hamlet
#

Or the Tiger a King Tiger with a 88mm L/71 upgrade

golden ocean
#

I can open it too, no need to come back for me

glad dirge
#

Sturminfantrigeschütz and a panther would be nice enough for me

sick hamlet

Or a Panzer 2

glad dirge

Also dice gib He112

golden ocean

dice no gib He112

dice gib BF 2021 soon™️

maybe not the 112 since it’s like an older 109

Like they did with BF1 (ooh) and BFV (ooh)

#

eargasm

Johan Söderqvist is a living legend

A fw-190 and a hurricane rather than two variants of the 109 and spitfire would be amazing

fedorov avtomat couldve been added

golden ocean
#

Nah

sick hamlet
proven charm
#

since it was used by the red army due to a lack of MG's

sick hamlet
#

Federov should honestly have been an LMG in BF1

#

Giving it to Medic was a big mistake

golden ocean
#

or even assault

proven charm
sick hamlet
#

They should have made a Cei-Rigotti extended though. And a Mondragon extended.

golden ocean
#

But given that it used rifle cartridge support class would've benn the most appropriate

proven charm
#

it's pretty weak damaging and slow firing so its balanced

#

mondragon extended would be absolutely poggers

sick hamlet
#

The Federov was probably the single most damaging thing to interclass balance because it was the return of the medic/assault from BF4.

golden ocean
#

the uber class

the one and only

flat damage model in BF game is something I'd love to see being removed forever

sick hamlet

Flat damage models are very useful for making a weapon unique though and offer ways to balance a weapon you struggle to get otherwise

golden ocean
#

Yeah, 0 sense

#

You can make a weapon unique with a million other ways

sick hamlet
#

Anywho, Breda Model 30 as MMG. 20-round magazine. 540 RPM. 3-4 BTK Chauchat damage model.

Or maybe just 3 BTK flat

Model 30 with a rare chance of jamming since it was so shit

golden ocean
#

MG 42 as a medic weapon with no recoil, unlimited ammo (overheat after 500 bullets) 0s aim time, 0 dispersion, 1BTK damage model and secondary fire mode that makes the weapon shoot explosive rounds

would be a fine addition

flat dmg model is cancerous in BF game

makes no sense for intermediate and pistol cartridges

i thought it went from a 5hk to a 6hk and eventually into the 7s and 8s

theres only like.. 3 weapons that have this though

IIRC the Krag is flatrash damage model

60

sick hamlet
golden ocean

Ye

#

Most snipers do aroud 80-70 and drop to aroud 60-55

dense bone
#

for simplicity sake i would only be concerned about btk

golden ocean
#

Functionally doesn't make a difference unless your target is a medic with healing addiction or damaged

sick hamlet
#

Which is one of the reasons the sweet spot was one of the best innovations in BF1 as it meaningfully distinguished them. And then there was stuff like the Carcano that had no sweet spot and was only capable of headshots inside 100m but fired super fast while the G.95 did a solid 80 at all ranges.

golden ocean
#

G.95 had a damage drop-off after like 100m

dense bone
#

fuuuck sweetspot

golden ocean
#

And yes, sweetspot was an amazing thing

#

I miss it

proven charm
#

me too

tribal cairn
#

Imagine the MG42 with realistic damage

sick hamlet
#

Sweetspot mechanically brought bolt actions up to par

dense bone
#

i get this comes off as elitist and its a casual title, but sweet spot is such a casual mechanic

sick hamlet
#

Casual doesn’t mean bad.

proven charm
#

this

golden ocean
sick hamlet
#

Bolt actions in BF1 are the best balanced of all modern battlefield titles

proven charm
#

el this is true

dense bone
#

i dont get this thought process that all weapons need to meet a certain level of ease of use across the board

sick hamlet
#

Precisely because there’s meaningful differences between them and they were brought up to par with other classes Weapons

maiden fern
#

anyone really like BF1 here?

golden ocean
#

It doesn't make a difference what a gameplay mechanic is as long it is a good one

tribal cairn
#

An MG42 with realistic damage would basically be shredder. It would take the first 3 hits to kill them, and the other 20 rounds in your burst to just give his squad mates PTSD

sick hamlet
dense bone
#

thats just not the case in bfv

proven charm
dense bone
#

which doesnt have sweet spot, but ok

sick hamlet
#

Hence why the ZH-29 is clearly superior to all bolt actions in BFV

proven charm
#

^

golden ocean
dense bone
#

superior to most

golden ocean
#

One bullet would make a double kill

dense bone
#

if youre a good shot you can wreck shit with a bolt

golden ocean
sick hamlet
#

The consistency of that 2BTK at all ranges is far superior to having the ability to get a one shot headshot

dense bone
#

skill floor vs skill ceiling

sick hamlet
dense bone
#

again, you dont need this standardized efficiency metric for all guns

sick hamlet
#

Even Stodeh performed better with semi autos than bolt actions and he’s a human aimbot

dense bone
#

lul stodeh

proven charm
#

if the enemy sniper in this scenario hits a body the ZH auto wins

dense bone
#

dude gets blessed with moronic enemies and has pocket medics

golden ocean
sick hamlet
#

ZH-29 offers far greater consistency

golden ocean
#

Not unless you're playing againt noobies

#

Who can't hit the massive head hitbox

dense bone
#

adding sweetspot mechanics was just a means to give shitters a gateway into being useful as a sniper because they were shit shots

proven charm
#

ouch that isnt too nice

dense bone
#

bf1 was full of wack mechanics, sweetspot is one of them

sick hamlet
#

As I said, even Stodeh performs better with semi-autos than bolt-actions. And he lands headshots far more consistently than the vast majority of the player base.

golden ocean
proven charm
#

list the other mechanics

sick hamlet
#

No other weapon class is balanced solely around headshots

golden ocean
#

because of which hitting heads from afar was unnaturaly hard and random

proven charm
#

apart from RBD and sweetspot which are actively being shat on

dense bone
golden ocean
#

unless the target wasn't moving like a paranoic with adhd

sick hamlet
dense bone
dense bone
sick hamlet
#

The sweetspot brought Recon up to par with the other classes for the first time in modern Battlefield entries

golden ocean
#

fortunately

sick hamlet
proven charm
#

gas was counterable, nade spam is a universal issue, behemoths are a good balancing feature, elites are prone to bayonet charges or backstabs and mortars are actively visible so they can be shot by anyone

golden ocean
#

But elites and behemots were fun actually

dense bone
#

in a game where you just select loadouts and go out into a sandbox to kill in whichever way you randomly can, theres no need to "bring them up"

sick hamlet
#

To such an extent that other classes do the role of that class better?

jade lintel
#

Twee why is your name now literal tree

sick hamlet
#

See: SARs and Medic carbines

dense bone
golden ocean
#

However elites should'n be balanced around pick-ups but how good you perform in a game

dense bone
sick hamlet
#

If BF1 had MMG mechanics the Villar-Persia would have been a good MMG candidate

golden ocean
#

If there were elites in next BF I'd be okay with them as long as you could get them the way I described above

jade lintel
#

Yea honestly elites and behemoths were purely for marketing

sick hamlet
golden ocean
#

And the epic factor

#

during actual game

if you think SARs and medic carbine make recon less relevant idk what to tell you

jade lintel
#

Yea recon is better at even longer ranges

#

SARs and medic carbines are for mid range

dense bone
#

im gonna guess you only consider a classes viability based on their killing potential and ease of use

jade lintel
#

Yeah prolly

dense bone
#

the fact that any scrim ive ever played in other than 5v5 has at LEAST a recon in a squad says otherwise

sick hamlet

Well snipers arent supposed to be for 100m

They're supposed to be for about 100-250m

if you have to bring up jungle carbines being better under a range that snipers shouldnt really be in... i think you have a problem with your point

Sweetspots meaningfully differentiated the bolt actions that previously were glorified palette swaps, and actually encouraged them moving closer to the action and playing the objective

Yeah you could use the M3 infrared, the semi-autos, the pistol carbines, the AT rifles, Recon has so many different types of primarys and all you're gonna say is "hurr durr bolt actions bad." bro use something else then.

# queen canopy Ok, but same goes for the Kar98k

My point is that there’s not much functional variety within the bolt-actions. The same was an issue in BF4 where choice boiled down to “pick whatever has the highest muzzle velocity because it’ll have the greatest consistency”

dense bone
#

g95 is good if you cant land headshots consistently and want to swap to secondary to finish off a kill while still having decent to good ranged headshot potential

dense bone
jade lintel

if youre headshot hunting at range, yea thats a huge stat to look into

"Better weapon balance" Well i shot you between these ranges so its a one shot to the body

#

too bad your rifle only does that at a shorter range

nyphon each bolty in bf1 works in their own ways

recon has carbine pistols, slrs, bolts, SAR and anti material rifles

proven charm

thats variety on its own

such huge variety in "i can one shot at this range ORRR this range"

sick hamlet
#

And the two anti material rifles are damn near identical with the same spec trees

jade lintel
jade lintel
#

ah

queen canopy

Not to mention that some bolt action rifles in BFV can perform better up close than just about any rifle on recon in BF1, as well as having other rifles that can perform just as well at range

We said the same thing though

the regulars of this community basically agree on our statements though

i would essentially treat it as a fact honestly

sick hamlet
#

Hell, there’s the Carcano carbine that lacked a sweet spot at all could only headshot within 100m.

#

Basically a predecessor to Medic carbines in BFV

#

Actual variety within a weapon class

Meanwhile, I’m more or less stating the same thing the folks over at Symthic would tell you

You know, the go to weapon mechanic analysis group for Battlefield?

thats classic

If a given weapon is underperforming regardless of player skill level that’s indicative that the weapon itself is not properly balanced. Hell, you can look at the leaderboards for the best players and see their performance stats.

Ergo, a player’s KPM with a given weapon class tends to average out around a range of values.

saw you k/d also, crazy i must say

But by nature, being in close range is typically going to mean more encounters with enemies (and therefore more kill opportunities), not to mention that the average user of those weapons is going to try to spawn closer to the fight.

Technically, you can pad out KPM by redeploying and waiting for your squad to get into battles and spawn on them, but RIP KD
