Our country is in Debt that we will probably never be able to pay off, and we are worrying about providing free healthcare? We are spending money we dont even have. We are borrowing money from a communist nation, who is also our number one trade partner. This isnt what our country was founded on at all. I dont see anywhere in the constitution where you are entitled to free healthcare. We should follow the constitution, because it is what this country was created around. Political parties are worrying about their own gains then representing the people. We are also too involved in foreign affairs. We should not hate people because we do not agree with them, we should instead stop listening to the people that use this hate to gain power. Both parties are running this country into the ground. The way the country operates now the so called "majority", 51% of people are represented in government, and the rest are not. We are a long way's away from the foundation of this country. I'm sure if you brought the founding fathers into the present they would be disgusted with what they saw.

In normandy maps I feel like i rarely engage infantry over a distance of 75 yards. Even shooting across the streets in some maps (about 25 yards) you cant hit anything trying to shoot quickly. Which is easily done in real life.

Theres no need to make the sight smaller at all. There is one simple fact that is killing me, and as a Garand shooter in real life, I can tell you that the recoil is far too vast and needs to be lowered slightly. Period. I'm not asking for M1 Carbine recoil, but I am asking that the M1 Garands recoil be lowered, it doesn't reflect how the weapon feels in real life, and as a result of the added recoil, weapons like the K98 are getting an advantage over it because of this supposed "balancing".

I don't care about how hard the recoil looks. I care about the shot dispersion. Is the shot dispersion in FH2 unrealistic, compared to how fast you shoot it? Now I haven't fired an M1 Garand IRL, but it should serve its purpose with regards to shot dispersion.
Also, it has a slight learning curve to it. Once you get a feeling for how much to pull down on the mouse, you'll be able to rapidfire quite easily. I for one can easily get off two aimed shots in slightly over a second. The K98 can maybe get an aimed shot off each two seconds. And the K98 has absolutely no advantages over the Garand, especially in close quarters.
We tried many different M1 Garand fire animations during betatesting. The reason we chose this one, is, you can more easily regain focus on your target.

Yes the shot dispertion is unrealistic. I cant remember ever rapid firing the garand and finding myself leaning back with the sights way over the target. I can put a three round burst at about 25 yards with the 1st shot right on target second shot about 1/2 an inch above, and the third about and inch above that. An 8 round quick sustained fire would be less accurate but at about 15 yards i can get all 8 on target. I can get all 8 while rested on a block at about 25 yards.

ive fired a BAR personally. It does not have much kick at all. It weighed almost 3x as much as the garand about 24 pounds. It doesnt really kick at you its kind of like a slight steady push if you shoot with sustained fire.

grab a BAR and you win automatically. Plain and simple 

Its the Last battle from Saving Private Ryan. They had no Armor support as is illustrated in FH1.

i dont know why this has to do anything with getting used to. Its about realism. I dont know why some of you guys arent getting this. The garands recoil in the game is 3x more then it is in real life. I love the garand and have been waiting for it ever sine the first version of FH2 came out. For the people saying its about balance i find that rediculous. I cant remember anything in FH sacrificing realism for balance. Why should the garand?
