Probably my favorite auto / semi. Of course, still prefer either Bolt and maybe the PTRSs just for the "GABOOOOM" noise, but anyways.... I like it, lots.
Has huge power that makes it stand above the MKB. At ranges, the MKB is not a one shot weapon often enough - the AVT is. Maybe it's just me, but I find the AVT one hits as often as the SVT (Duh), whereas the MKB feels like a rifle version of the MP40.
I use it auto 90% of the time. I usually stick within 130m anyways, the only time I switch off is for targets that are prone. One tap gives a nice and somewhat accurate two or three round burst that drops whatever it hits instantly on the spot. At about 80m, this gun destroys just about anything and everything IMHO. It's still accurate enough to land two shots of a burst on target at that range, which means even if one of em "vanishes" through the target he still ends up dead.
This gun absolutely DESTROYS on Spartanovka, btw. Often you can catch a bundle of Germans coming at you once you get into the town part, one burst will take out multiple targets if done correctly.
AVT makes ya feel like a man. It's brutal. MKB just makes me feel like a walking pussy unless I put up 275+ points on the board. Sounds weak, easy to use, looks like a stick and is generally boring.
