General Discussion / STG44: Why so underpowered?
« on: 01-03-2012, 19:03:32 »
Really one of the only things that bugs me about this mod is how terrible the STG44 is (besides the bad hit detection, but thats BF2 netcode)
Skilled players will never use this gun, I only use it because I like it and its a cool weapon. Let me break it down:
Long range: Terrible. Equivalent to M1carbine or worse. Takes atleast 2 shots at long range, and has worse recoil than m1 carbine, bren, and fg43.
Medium: again, if you use in full auto, it is pretty much impossible to land 2 consecutive shots due to insane recoil. Single shot doesnt help much. Again, m1 carbine, bren, fg43, and and g43 all superior.
Close: only advantage stg has. Still no better than SMGs and comparative weapons at close range.
So my question: If bren and fg43 can be mostly 1 shot kills, why not stg?
Either reduce the recoil or make stg mostly 1 shot kills. The weapon is bad. Thank you.
