Of course this is a one off random video and I know no changes will ever be made. But it’s a bit of fun, a what if and conversation starter video. We all know if some of these changes had been made how different the game could have been where the balance would allow people to feel like they could experiment more with different weapons and not feel forced to use the meta weapons to survive and do well. So what do you think of this top 5 weapons that should have been nerfed list? Leave yours in the comments below and be sure to smash the like for me 👍🏻💪🏻🫶🏻
The Zh-29 shouldn't be nerfed because it has other factors balancing it like high recoil, longer reload times, low damage per bullet compared to bolt actions and low magazine caacity
Jungle carbine absolutely slaps... It's the first gun I ever full golded... This + a ghillie suit you can just cause havoc on the team. I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but another good thing about the jungle carbine is that it doesn't have scope glint. Which just makes it that much more powerful.
Ive done everything in my power to NOT use the Type2, ZK. I do not even have the specializations all opened up. I kind of despise the OP nature of them. I do however use the Suomi, but my control is pretty bad - like trying to use the 1907 - I can't land enough hits. So I maxed out the Grease and the MP34. These two are more controllable and I can land more shots per mag. The MP34 would be the META weapon if it wasn't for the ammo shortage - it matches the Zk or better in every way other than ammo and you can add a bayonet still keeping the zk control. I recently started building up the MP28 thinking it would be a better more controlled version hi ROF gun...but....big but....none of the specializations cater to control or accuracy, they all pretty much make it hip fire only, and with its low bullet velocity, I gave up before unlocking the last specialization. It also has massive random recoil...the bullets fly around like they are wiffle balls. The MP34 though, its a lazer, but you can't go hard. Assault I do however use the 1-5 or Ribby if I want auto fire. Open sites or red dot is the only way to go. The only semi I use is the AGM42 because it just plinks fast and accurate. In the end I mostly play support, crazy right.....Im all gold on the Madsen and Lewis and Type11. The Madsen is by far the deadliest at range. It is crap up close though. Lewis with pin post, deadly. Type11 - never misses a shot. I prefer the higher damage of the Madsen and 50rnds. For anyone reading this, I play at 70 POV, it is a great balance - the 1x red dot has nearly the same magnification as a 3x scope at 90 POV. Which means at 70 you see the same enemy at the same size but using a zero recoil sight. Iron sights are almost higher than 3x scopes!! And like Wilko says, the iron sights he recommends in some vids are the way to go. You can not beat the pin post Lewis and figure head. Lastly. I am working on the Chauchat, and it is painful, but what I have learned from Wilko is "HI RECOIL" means that you use lower recoil sites. Irons on the Chau is the only way to level up this gun unless you don't mind 1:1 KD - sniping with the Chau is fun with a 3x on semi, but you get beamed by his buddy with G3 or M1 at the same range faster :(
Well mate I said to you around a month or so ago that I would try your settings out. I used them for about a week or so. I couldn’t get on with the low sensitivity. I’m also not someone who can manage really high sensitivity either. I settled on 80 look and 70 ads. Using yours did however finally get me off aim acceleration and I would never go back now. I also stuck with the low fov and have gotten used to it now. So much better being able to see enemies lol. Especially since I play on a 75 inch tv. I found I had to really deep dive into my elite controller settings too. Have gone with a medium height Scuf left stick with Omni thumb grip and a standard Xbox tall right stick with Omni thumb grip. To accompany this for the left stick I settled on the following settings: centre deadzone at 7 and axial deadzone at 0. And for the right stick: centre deadzone at 5 and axial deadzone at 0. Also discovered I had my triggers set up wrong, or certainly the right one. Years ago whje I played I had them set as twitchy and responsive as possible so everything was on 0 or 5 whichever was lowest. Turns out that was fucking up my firing. Left one is still low as possible but the right one is now on threshold at 100 default and the deadzone is at 14. You can’t believe how much more control I now have of the firing. Now here’s the big gameplay change. I tried my best to utilise how much you are glued to cover and use the leaning (never used leaning before). Well mate it’s propelled my gameplay no end slowing down and being smart about how much I use cover as often as possible. I mapped two paddles for the lean so I can press them easily too. Still loving your videos too but the way. Many thanks my man
Bro 110% your biggest issue with aim is playing on that TV. You neeeeeeed a gaming monitor to do well in FPS. Refresh rate & a smaller area for your eyes to look for things is a bigger deal than paddles on the controller
Thanks for the long comment. Yep just keep tweaking to your liking. But definitely the main strengths of doing well in these big map games is the long range ability and lower FOV and sometimes sensitivity to help with accuracy can net you way more kills over a game than just getting a few nice streaks but so many more deaths etc… because of playing aggressive. All depends what playstyle you find fun or what you enjoy. I know many won’t enjoy playing as my play style but it’s essential for me to be able to achieve what I have done which some of this achievements have yet to be done by others. Keep me updated!
Also don’t worry about controllers and accessories I use a plain controller big standard. I recently got a paddle attachment I built into a standard controller but played a few hours which I know isn’t enough but it’s completely ruined my grip and aim and maybe I wasn’t patient enough but for now I’ve put that away and gone back to using a default controller with a broken thumbs tick which I have to keep blowing inside of lol. So there’s proof you don’t need it. But a monitor I would definitely suggest like Aneed mentioned
@@Bassfishing1990thanks for the response mate. Perhaps at some point the Wife will let me buy a monitor 🤣. I do love seeing everything on a big screen though. What’s the biggest monitor useable???
I like this list. In my personal experience as an Xbox player, I rarely see a Model 37. Most shotgun deaths I see in servers are from the Drilling and shockingly 12g Automatic. Hardly ever see players using the Jungle Carbine but definitely see ST 1-5, Type 2A, and ZK.
I have tried the ZK... I don't see what all the love for that gun is about. I think the Grease gun is better in every way. I have nearly 20,000 kills with the grease gun. I'd rather go up against someone with the ZK than a grease gun any day.
Shutguns, type2A and anti-vehicle snipers are legal cheating in the game. They just need to disappear not only to nerf. I agree on the bolt actions for medic are overpowered "Jungle Carbine and M28 Con Tromboncin as they're nearly equal".
Tromboncino is limited more because of 6 rounds,slower fire rate, worse sights, and 1 shot headshot range is almost half that of the Jungle Carbine. Grenade launcher is good for agressive play as I’ve shown before but I wouldn’t say it needs nerfing I’d say it needs the headshot range increased if anything lol
The AT rifles dont make me mad because of the 1 shot kill, they make me mad because they have crap damage to the vehicles to make them useful. Not to mention if your job as a squad member is to take out armor, the rifles being in the scout class do not allow you to carry any explosives to actually finish the job! They are pointless unless you like arching drop shots across the map for the entire round hoping you don't get a tank shell to the face over and over. If anti armor is in the assault class, they really should put the rifles in that class. I for one would actually play that role if I had the ability to carry explosives with the rifle. As much as I hate to say it (due to the reality of what large bullets do to a human) they could nerf the damage to players, and increase the damage to armor. THEY ALREADY DID EXACTLY THIS WITH THE FLIEGER!!! ...it take the whole plane down, but 9 rockets to the face of a player does nothing and then he whips out a 27 for a 1 shot kill. They missed the mark with the AT rifles completely.
@dangilsdorf1488 I would argue the AT rifles as annoying as they are, are pretty fair. I like realism of course it’s a game but round of that size make sense to be a 1 shot kill but perhaps they could decrease the lethal area on the body slightly. But they are just long range shotguns effectively that you cannot move unless stationary making you a easy targets to kill and you get one shot most of the time at any enemy so you gotta be almost 100% accurate to get a kill and survive
Ok I just bought this game on a Christmas sale last month (on PC) so I'm still a noob therefore take everything I say with a grain of salt. First the jungle carbine. It is a nice weapon for sure but the only viable ranged option for medic. I think its effective range is between 30-50 meters where yes it can beat recon class there but recon is meant for distances >50m, if they close the gap then they should expect to be punished. While the jungle carbine can land headshots at great distances, without a 6x scope I would consider that suboptimal play. If you nerf the jungle carbine it will be severely outclassed by the assault semi-autos (both generally use 3x scope so I would rather compare them instead of a sniper). Against any competent semi-auto user if you don't land that headshot you are back to the spawn screen. I have mixed feelings on the ZK, it is not an easy weapon to control for any engagement beyond 20 meters. The vertical recoil is somewhat manageable with a mouse, but the horizontal recoil is pretty unpredictable. I have noticed all the sweaty players on the EU servers use ZK but I see it as a high skill ceiling gun. I think sweaty players prefer it because of the lightened stock upgrade which the Suomi and Type 2A don't have. However, even the Suomi has faster TTK than the ZK at close range so I consider both balanced. I think the Sturmgewehr has a similar trade on its last upgrade. You either take the recoil buffer or the lightened stock. Without the recoil buffer the vertical recoil is similar to that of the ZK so not that easy to use. However, if you take the recoil buffer you are giving up lightened stock and you essentially become a sitting duck at range. I wouldn't nerf this weapon. I agree with you on the Type 2A and the shotgun. I find shotgun players far more annoying than 2A players. Against 2A I still got a (small) chance if I fire first but shotguns in this game can literally one shot kill you from 15-20 meters. That is terrible weapon balancing, not enough spread on any of them.
ZK players rate themselves as pro players. Sad 😂😂 They should get rid of lightened stock I think its called and make the reload time longer. It could have more recoil for sure.
Lightened stock is kinda a staple of all or most medic weapons so not sure you could get rid of it. But slower reload definitely so that you lower the RPM and have a higher chance of being caught out by other enemies when playing aggressively so you need to be more careful with reloading. Probably bit more recoil if you are not going to change the damage model or anything. Even the Hipfire already is strong too so that could be worsened too.
I hate the ZK-383. I don't know how anyone plays using ONLY that weapon over and over and over. Boring as fuck. I like using all different weapons. I find using all different types of weapons also helps you improve other areas of your gameplay vs using the same meta shit over and over. Plus it's really fun to smoke everyone using their OP garbage with things like The Sten, Welgun, EMP, Madison, STG, etc. To clarify I specifically mean the light bolt version of the ZK. The 40 round 514 rpm version I actually enjoy using. I might also add the Lewis Gun to that list. Seems like its a very popular gun of choice and the most picked LMG of support tho I don't have much issue with it.
Of course this is a one off random video and I know no changes will ever be made. But it’s a bit of fun, a what if and conversation starter video.
