MKB/AVT Availability Change Incoming

- Start date
Yeah, I want to know what happened to the server side options that can turn the rare weapons off? Is it a bug as well or did I not read something correct? I liked the original idea of basically only one rare weapon per side, and how it was going to take months to rank up just to get the weapon...
Honestly I feel that there should only be 2 G41's available for the Germans, as that was a rare weapon as well.
The issue of Balance should be constructed into its own thread in the Idea/Suggestion Forum.
This argument still falls under the Idea/Suggestion Forum. Regardless if the Assault Class player (German) picks the MkB42, he still has the default weapon of the MP40, which is still an automatic weapon. So this point you are trying to make is really unnecessary because the number of potential automatic weapon users in a match is already there.
This thread was to let us know that they are fixing the issue where the MkB42s and AVT40s are only suppose to be available to the Assault Class.
What is the difference between automatic weapons and fully automatic weapons? You lost me...
I agree.
You're supposed to listen to your community, not argue with it.
STG's were only on very few select maps and they did not have bullet penetration and I believe they had more recoil in ROOST. And the Allies had some SMG's to counter it. In RO2 the PPSH is so recoily that it's useless. And it has a box-mag making it even more useless.
The mkb42 is ruining this game. Gibson, the community has spoken. Are you going to listen to them?
^^ Putting there again so I can get some answers.
33% automatics in a game set almost entirely in a dense urban environment is not that crazy to me. Even if the bolt action rifle was 99% of the weapons soldiers had in Stalingrad, your "unit" is a front line unit selected for that front line skirmish, who would naturally have a lot more close quarters weapons than usual. The weapon make-up of supply guys and anti-aircraft gun operators is irrelevant.
And if Veteran unlock is the opposite side weapons then what is Hero unlock (which is Enemy Class Loadout)?
Read what came after that, when I brought the semi-autos into the argument. You lost me when you implied I had argued there was a dif between auto & "fully" auto. I think you just misread the post.
It's the fact that the automatic weapons are much more effective than in RO1.
In ro1 Smg's (to me) were near useless Whereas in RO2 they;re borderline overpowered. It makes sense people going for smg's in ro2 where they would have gone riflemen in RO1.
I do think that smg;a are a bit to plentiful seeing their power.
Maybe their power should be someplace inbetween ro1 and ro2
Red Orchestra 2 HEROES of Stalingrad
STG44 didn't ruin RO:Ostfront for a reason
MKb42 will ruin Heroes of Stalingrad
and as a observation, why then not allow 6 snipers for each side ? better than this nonsense
BRING BACK OUR HEROES
EVERYONE on these forums agreed to have RARE weapons
NO ONE agreed to have them in less than a RARE fashion

Spoiler!
Aside from the bog letters I agree.
Ramm said often that RO2 is not RO1, but now he draws the comparison between them, because it's convenient.
Sure, it;s the same ammount of MKB/STG;s, but the flow of RO2 favours automatic weapons alot more than RO1
Honestly I have no problem with the amount of MP40s in the game. Although there are more than in your average German rifle platoon (I haven't found as much info on Soviet units), units participating in assaults were definitely given more SMGs.
My problem is the number of prototype weapons and semi-automatics, the former which was probably not even there in the first place, and the latter which was still really rare.
I know the forum is a tiny percentage of the total playerbase but I'm seeing a massive outcry from almost everyone new and old alike on this forum about this. So why not just change it to make people happy TWI?
I looked on the steam RO forums, same deal, and there's even more newcomers over there.

I think there is one rather crucial difference. STG was a standard-issue firearm on the maps it was present in Ostfront whereas the Mkb is an extremely rare prototype weapon that may or may not had been used in the actual Battle of Stalingrad but in HoS even after the change it will be just as common if not even more common weapon than the most widely used German SMG of the whole war, the MP40.

I saw your mention of Semi-automatic weapons. You were comparing all of your points:
automatic weapons from the Classes Assault/SL/TL,
(the MG Class)
and Semi-automatic weapons of the Elite Rifleman Class) to the ratio of the Bolt Action Rifles (Rifleman Class).
I was merely being a jerk when I was pointing out when you mentioned the automatic weapons and the fully automatic weapons, as if they were different things. But I guess you misread that.
I do understand. Feedback is what gets things noticed and fixed. Though, my personal preferences is that feedback should be thought out and well constructed.
I do not mean to offend anyone, I'm just very blunt at times. So many QQ posts just get annoying after a while, so I start replying to them.
