The Mkb42(H)

[Unus Offa, Unus Nex]

The following is constructive criticism, not bashing!

Ok, lets start out with the positive!:

First of all, I am happy to announce that the ingame Mkb42(H) behaves closely to the real thing (Judging by StG), which means it basically owns every other weapon in the game, just as it does in reality as-well.

Now to the negative part:

Giving every 2nd guy an Mkb42(H) is not only extremely unrealistic, but it's also very bad for gameplay! The Germans are litterally bulldozing the Russians now on every map. Every 2nd or 3rd guy carrying one of these guns is just too much firepower for the Russians to handle.

I strongly suggest you limit the Mkb42(H) to 2 pr. map at max, and that's for 64 players servers, otherwise the disparity in firepower is going to seriously hurt the Russian side.

hope its just TWI trolling us

Or limit it to 1 per side via field promotion.

This idea is quite good.

I really like this idea

In before the lock! All the other Mkb42 threads in general discussion have been locked, so I assume this one will be too.

Discussion about this ... fiasco is going on here:

I agree it's beyond idiotic. There should be only one max per side. Same with AVT-40 and MP40 with dual mag.

I will be seriously really ticked off if in a few months everyone is running around with an MKB42, an AVT-40 or a MP40-II.

It's all Haenels fault

This would work for me.

[howzcat]

agreed. will stop playing until server admins or twi limit this.

[Cannabysmal]

pshhh inngenuity comrade, the German war machine must be stopped.

yea **** you, 5 years of lurking I get a ridiculous post

I hope they change nothing about it. Imho it's just PPSH users who're crying out loud now because their beloved Run&Gund CoD Style weapon found it's match.

Not really, in RO PPSH vs STG44 close range is just who sees who first shoots and then dead, PPSH is basically useless now and all Nazi weapons are uber strong like , PPSH is basically a baseball bat in the game.

How dare you compare IS 2 and some filthy Fritz's weapon in the same sentence?!

[shawnious]

This is a totally valid point!!

It's so much fun to fire, but hell is it imbalanced!

MKb42 is Awesome!

Über alles!

Ok, maybe if stats getting working it should be unlock for higher levels like 20 or 30 and limited other than assault class to pick it up or sth but no other limitations, DDE buyes will be raging if they cant play stuff they payed for, true story!

Well, it's not that simple. Tripwire promised it to be a day 1-unlock for DDE preorders, they can't just take it away because people are displeased, after all, nobody really complained about the StG44 in ROOST, which is technically the same weapon and the russians didn't have any compensation for it either. But in ROHOS, they've got the AVT, which seems insufficient, but it's effective in it's own right.

What I do agree on is that too many classes can use it. I'd understand if it were some rare class with 2 slots max, but not when it's available to 2/3 of the whole team.

That's why the idea for field promotion is nice, it doesnt take the unlock away, but limits it to the players that are doing best.

[=GG= Mr Moe]

True, and quite honestly that is how I thought it would be (in but really limited) browsing the forums for probably several hours a day over the past five years.

The STG44 in RO1 was still pretty rare. Only some maps had them at all and usually there were like 3-4 tops for the German side.

And they don't have to strip it away from people with DDE just make it so only a few people per side get it.

Just give it to elite rifleman class (1-2 tops per side) and be done with it.
