RO2 MG42 needs a nerf
- Thread starter Torio
- Start date
Like Mr Pants Excessive Overkill!!!
Make a MG42 only mutator, maybe then Allied huggers will stop crying
what about PTRS only mutator. That would be etreme fun. No rifles, pistols, no even melee. Only deploy an ATR and shoot
I have never felt any of MGs overpowered. If you use it for house cleaning and if you crouch you have more stability. If someone tries it in the open, he might be super lucky and kill one with the bullet storm. I have never experienced this though that Spartanovka - to name an example - is ruled by Rambo MGing.
Yes, while it is irritating to get mowed down by someone hip firing with ANY MG, its not really all that common in the huge realm of deaths in this game.
You really don't "rambo" with a 250 round belt...

Cutting down the belt length to a more realistic 50 rounds (while moving/not in cover) could fix "rambo'ing".
Plus, the story would drastically change if extra ammo would actually needed to be carried (in players hands instead of magic backpacks)

You must not play against me too much then. As MG I can regularly take people out at 150m without really trying very hard. All I do is start spamming the MG in the player's rough direction if he's got a bolt action then he has no chance to shoot me back because the MG suppression (which should be removed for rambo firing) completely negates his ability to aim accurately at me. Then I just walk the fire onto the player by using the tracers which is trivial because of the lack of recoil. MG rambo takes no skill.
100% correct - that's the problem.
The MG42 is currently a better CQB weapon than the ppsh. That's just wrong.
I have to say I disagree with this. It's clumsy in comparison to aimed bursts from the PPsH. If I had both on me, I'd whip out the papasha for room clearing. But hey, everyone sees these things differently.
Considering we're on the topic of MG's already,
Is it just me or does it seem that the MG34 has more recoil (up and left-right) than the MG42 when deployed?

I'd say suppression is realistic. It simply simulates how you wet your pants when being shot at. You are scared like hell to get killed. I'd even say, I wonder if I was able to bolt my rifle when an MG is pinning me down.
But you are not hipshooting them at 150m, are you? If you are capable of hipshooting accurately past 50m you are already quite skilled.
Shooting someone at 150m with sights is fine by me as you can basically do this with any weapon, except SMG and pistols.

I once rambo'd a sniper on GumrakStation at ~200m. If I can see them I can hit them.
50m rambo kills are trivial for me.
Stood, crouched or prone? Moving or not moving? Leading into the target with the tracers or a very high first shot hit percentage?
Saw a guy silhouetted at long range standing up while I was crouch running. I stopped running and started spraying the belt fed MG34 at him. As long as my bullets were reasonably close to him he was supressed and couldn't hit me back with his rifle (supression should be removed for rambo, as I said earlier). I then used the tracers to walk the bullets onto him. Total rounds expended was maybe 50.
This was trivial to do.
This is why MG rambo is broken.
