Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?
 

Thanks Narwan
The con side finally gives a little ground, bravo!
But just think how much of Clauses precious bandwidth you would have saved if you had come up with math at the beginning! What you have made poor Claus endure! Ok so Ill go with the hit of 3. But there still remains the question of range and accuracy, as posted previously dont you think it should have a better accuracy and range because of the scope and bipod? Seems the game treats it as a rifle for calculating hit and a shoulder fired inaccurate auto when calculating range and accuracy? If its going to be treated predominatley as a rifle shouldnt it get a scoped rifles accuracy and range values? not sure what accuracy that should be, but range would be 800m After all it was introduced to give the paratroopers long range hitting power.

Nope, you're just showing your own ignorance on the matter. Don't go giving yourself compliments.
I have said nothing new. I have merely explaned for the so maniest time why the stats are correct as they are.

Hi Narwan
If the FG42 is to be treated as a rifle then why doesnt it get its rifle range of 800m and the accuracy that goes with having a scope?
Regards Chuck.

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?
 

I dont know were you get this "range of 800m and accuracy with its scope" stuff. Which urban SP legend did you pick that up from. (Unless you are getting totally confused with sniper rifles, which are an entorely different animal from an SLR! )

It is classed as an assault rifle - it should probably be same stats as a BAR. Treat as an SLR and ignore the useless burst capability.

There are basically 3 main rifle types - Bolt Action, SLR and AsR. Names may change but the stats remian pretty much the same.

Time to close this thread down as it is getting pointless and going round in circles.

It should also have extra deadliness at 0-1 meters because it also had a bayonet. The combination of automatic fire, snipers scope and bayonet at 1 meters distance would be absolutely deadly. Imagine the surgical precision by which the bayonet could be inserted in the opponent using the snipers scope!
It should have HE-kill of at least 500 at one meter.

Also don't forget it'd boost morale to have such an überweapon plus don't forget the tip of the bayonett may be used as toothpick ;o)

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?
 

OK let me put it this way
If the FG42 is treated as a rifle then why doesnt it get the 500m rnage of a rifle? after all it fires the same round as th mauser rifle not the short kurtz round of the other german assault rifles?
