There’s literally no point in using other weapons from this classes unless you want to get melted left and right and rage ---

There are, depending upon the map size and vehicle presence. However, those are among the best if you averaged all the maps. ---

There are definitely some underrated guns though. Bren, FG42, ZH-29, Selb 1906, MP28, Commando Carbine (silent assassin), and probably more I’m forgetting. ---

Is this some kind of joke? On a game where rpm is meta using bolt action rifles is a huge disadvantage, the commando and m28 are pure trash on this game ---

On a game where rpm is meta using bolt action rifles is a huge disadvantage, the commando and m28 are pure trash on this game That’s why I added a little extra, about it being a silent assassin. Up front, sure, plenty of better weapons, but on a sneaky flank, especially with smoke to escape, no weapon comes close. You can’t fight what you can’t hear. ---

FG42 is crazy good. Only drawback being its small clip. Ribeyerolles is basically a laser gun and the Turner SMLE with 1x sight and 20 round specialisation is pretty much a point and click adventure. ---

On a game where rpm is meta using bolt action rifles is a huge disadvantage, the commando and m28 are pure trash on this game Again, map dependent, and role specific - if you can flank in a grind funnel (Narvik bridge), you can hide and absolutely kill enemies one after the other while prone and hidden 20 ft behind them with the Commando carbine. But yeah, rarely useful. ---

Ribeyerolles is basically a laser gun and the Turner SMLE with 1x sight and 20 round specialisation is pretty much a point and click adventure. I prefer using 3x scopes on this game since visibility is garbage but im gonna give it a try ---

Not really, most of the assault guns are good. Like the turner, the (Sturm-) Gewehr 1-5, M1A1 or the m1907sf. The medic also has the zk, mab and mp40 which are all pretty good. For the sniper we have the zh-29 which is pretty much op and the other slrs which are slightly worse but still really good and the gewehr 95 and the krag are also good (if you have good aim). Don’t play much support so can’t comment on that. ---

Also, platform matters - semi-autos are much better with a mouse, not so much for us console peasants (although, no cheater rage). ---

I have to disagree with the mp40,only thing good about it is accuracy, if u go in a gunfight with someone with a higher rpm smg u gonna lose 10 out of 10 times unless your enemy has bad aim, even the higher rpm smgs (Thompson and suomi) are accurate for medium range, I would only use a mp40 if I wanted to play as a medic and get in long range gunfights ---

Basically everything on Assault is usable, same with Support minus the MMGs. ---

If you think a weapon is bad, try switching some stuff around with it with playstyle, specs, or sights. I hated the M1907, thought its recoil and accuracy were trash, then I switched from irons to the Nydar optic and it’s suddenly amazing. ---

Personally I have good results with all automatic weapons: ARs, smgs, and lmgs. I havn’t used the suomi or thompson much though since I prefer to engage at ranges. ---

I hated the M1907, thought its recoil and accuracy were trash, then I switched from irons to the Nydar optic and it’s suddenly amazing. It’s quite fun to play that setup. Still requires a certain playstyle, but actually fun to use. Especially against the high rof gun runners. ---
