Ah, i wasn’t missing any minus melee. Well, it is nice to know that ToW weapons can be bought after time expires. Some of those weapons are awful. Thanks!

The Gewehr 43 is the only semi automatic in the Assault class that doesn’t jam on me consecutively when depressing the trigger. The jams ruin the experience, so I just stick to autos and my good ol’ Lewis. ---

I depress the trigger fully but no bullet comes out. Only happens with semi autos. Tap, tap, tap, bullet, bullet, no bullet. So annoying that I stopped using the semi autos indefinitely. ---

Hopefully they’ll add the other rewards eventually but I’m glad you didn’t miss any of the guns. It does indeed include vehicles dude so you should find them there too. ---

I think the Ribey and M1907 are the best assault rifles, although the Breda is going to trounce them when it gets released in a few weeks. ---

The Turner of course. High damage, high clickable ROF, high mag capacity, recoil is average. Good hipfire makes it work in CQ, while having really good range as well. . If you only want the ARs, it is a tie between the 1-5 and the M1907. Both have a high ROF and hipfire specs, while you can use them at longer ranges. The 1907 has 21 bullets is decently controllable, the 1-5 has 31 bullets giving it a bit more ease-of-use in a 64p environment. ---

The one downside to the M2 is it is a 5 btk even at close range iirc. The Breda is going to be a STG 44 that is a 4 btk at all ranges. ---

The Breda is going to be a STG 44 that is a 4 btk at all ranges. Yeah that’s a drawback but I guess it’s their way of balancing the ROF? The Breda looks lovely too though, and hopefully it turns up this chapter, and I’m expecting to get on well with it since I really like the M4 in BF4 and it looks similar. ---

Some reason I cant stand the riby. I started using it after reading this thread. I get damage to 99% yet I get killed easily before I fire that last bullet to put me over the top of 99% damage on the enemy. I don’t have it fully specialized yet either. Maybe it needs all 4 specs to be fully good. . But heck I’d take the Sten over the riby any day of the week and be a medic instead. I guess i’m just so use to being medic or recon. I kinda find the assault class boring. Yeah it has the nice gadgets but feels like the piats been nerfed for ground troops. TNT seems a bit weak for ground troops. Even though I still use assault lately. ---

The specs are horrible because there is no hipfire spec, meaning it is crap in a very relevant niche. At medium range you lose FTK because of the low ROF over the M1907 and 1-5. And you always lose against the SARs unless you prevalent use will incorporate the bipod. ---

Then I got rid of the riby. ---

Yeah I was going by the stats we know right now, hopefully they realize how broken the gun is and they rectify it. Then again, DICE has a hard on for the assault class so I don’t count on it.
