So guys what's the general opinion on LMG42?
It currentely is already buffed by fixing the AI. It's buffed.
But I still think it could use something.
I've been considering a few options:
- Just lower munitions cost (75 munitions is a pretty hefty cost at the stage it comes, especially when you think about the cheap Mp40's upgrade for volks in comparison.
- Increase the search radius (this is the radius where incremental accuracy takes place within, the more enemies in this radius, the more accurate the gun becomes.)
- Buff long range dps, This was something done last patch to make it have superior dps at long range than the Kar98K, While this is a fact now; It's still not better vs standard infantry armor, which has a 0.75x damage modifier.
Buffing accuracy from 0.13 to 0.15 would fix this. Or one could lower the cooldown modifier at long range a bit ...
We could also take a combination of options, the hard part is figuring out where the perfect balance lies between making the gun a real viable option and overbuffing it. Especially because it's pretty situational and lack of testing etc...
