Because its the middle of the ground option on top of being one of the most iconic weapon in WW2
It doesn’t dominate anywhere, it’s just not the worse in any situation and that is a good enough thing for many people
Other assault weapons have blatant flaws and strenghts, Ribeyrolles is terrible close range but beat other AR at long/medium range, M2 and 1907 are terrible meidum/long range but beat any other AR close range and the Sturmgewerh is just straight up better if you can deal with the additional recoil
The STG is not OP otherwise it would be the only thing comp players would use ( because they play 100% for the win unlike casuals who basically choose a gun at random), and yet all you see people using as assaults are 1907s and Ribeyrolles
Guess why
The automatics have random recoil, especially after patch 6.2.2
Hitting someone at 50 meters in full auto is possible, but you will waste as many bullets as you hit. Even tapfire isn’t that effective in BFV, it’s still usable, but nothing like in BF4.
There just isn’t any point to using mid range automatics when they are so weak, especially compared to semi automatics. Smgs, ARs, and LMGs getting their range significantly compressed while the only drawback to semi autos occurs at the 100 meter mark was a big mistake. So now the only automatics worth using are the fastest firing ones. This gives you an edge inside 20 meters but from 20 meters to infinity you are toast. Mid range automatics just don’t have a niche anymore.
Breda is real man AR. On the other Stg44 is sweaty tryhards gun.
Being iconic means nothing because there are tons of other guns in game that were a lot popular and common in ww2 then Stg44.
Exactly every other Assault rifle has flaws. Stg44 doesnt have any flaw. Every gun should have at least some flaws. Because of that Stg44 just does well almost all reasonable distances. Its just so easy to use. No gun in game deserves to be that easy to use and also effective at the same time.
I dont know why do you bring up competitve stuff every time. Bf5 isnt a competitve game and balancing has nothing to do with what people do on unoffical setup comp games. Comp games are completely different then the regular matchmaking therefor with completely different meta. In comp games everyone is able to speak with each other and act as a team while regular matchmaking has neither of it. Dice balance things around regular matchmaking not an unoffical game mode that %99 of the player base dont even care.
Point is Stg44 is way to easy to use and so effective. A noob gun does not deserves to be that effective.
Well, why dont you try it some more than 28 minutes? Did someone shoot you when you where hiding in a corner with an mmg or a boys aiming at a chokepoint?
Just report him at this point for profanities at this point
He always tiptoe around the rules by indirectly insulting people
There’s a reason why “the STG is a sweaty noob gun” rather than just “the STG is OP”
Maybe if there’s enough reports the mod team is gonna tell him to stop being so dense
At this point its looks like his comment are more are lame attempts at trolling than actually having a conversation
I mean if it wasn’t already obvious from the fact that we had to spend 3 pages talking about the STG in a ZH thread just because he’s supposedly thicker than a brick
I really would like to see how Shotguns, Slrs and Boys At is even considered as noob guns. Every gun i have used is a lot more skill ceiling then your Selb 1916 and Stg44.
Shotguns one shot, BOYS AT one shot
SLRs are crutches for people who can’t land headshots as recon and have always been
You have no clue what skill ceiling is ( if you really think you do go ahead explain we’ll have a good laugh )
Also haven’t used any of those weapons since 5.2 ( or assault in general for that matter )
Stop acting like you know what you’re talking about
One shot = noob? You are telling it like boys dont have slow muzzle velocity, only aims when bipoded and dont have slow ¯_(ツ)_/¯ rechambering time. Shotguns are weak atm. I have explained that to you in a another thread and im not going to waste my time to explain that.
Slrs have always been easier to use then BAs. But Semi autos with 3xscope+no scope glint is always been more crutch then the Slrs.
It seems you already know what skill ceiling means. No need to waste my time.
Holy f… how hard is it for you to admit you’re wrong?
You’re already wasting your time replying you’re just scared to admit you’re wrong
That very last bit encompass everything you are and if you’re that insecure about admitting you’re wrong you need to get off this forum and seek therapy
