    I think the main reason it's strong is because you can actually get good ammo for it. Takes forever to get M80 now for the RFB or Vepr, and even then you could be crafting SNB for super cheap for the SVT. Sure there's M61, but the availability and price of that is awful too now.

    I think the bigger problem that is outlined by the SVT is that a lot of the guns in EFT having almost non-sensical values, especially in relation to similar weapons with the same caliber (like the AK-74 vs the 74U) the values present in weapons are not really based on anything but vibes and I think a more standardized grounded-in-reality approach would be best and then weapon/ammo availability could be adjusted accordingly as balance requires

    Honestly? Just buff the other guns. I rather see the Vepr back with recoil that makes sense than the SVD/RFB/SVT somehow being a lot less.
    Also, about the hipfire and laser situation, the SVT has the lowest recoil dispersion on hidden stats, so it has less random side to side compared to the rest, which is minimized with the laser. Its not a true fix, but you can hip fire better with a naked SVT than a naked SVD

    I wouldnt say its not OP,. Even in the video you point out irs 50k roubles, better recoil than an svd with mods, and keeps the sights on target.

    @Dennis-vm6lu Před 9 měsíci +8

    the thing people forget about guns is that they have different types of gas systems. direct impingement, recoil operated, etc. it would explain why different weapon systems in game have different types of recoil. there's realistic then there is ridiculous, the recoil in game is a way of balancing a gun, sure. but the recoil in game just makes full auto (or very fast semi auto) near unusable when in real life it is much lower and much more manageable especially for 5.45x39 and 5.56x45.

    • @mvximus3188
      @mvximus3188 Před 9 měsíci +3

      Having fired a G36 in full-auto in real life, 5.56 has F-All recoil, and its a joke that our PMCs (which definetly are better trained than me) cant handle a wee M4 or AK-74 in full-auto.

    It's a bit strong because of the low recoil. Perhaps limiting it to one a restock or something similar would be a good soft balancing measure.
    I do honestly wish this was about where all guns baseline recoil was though. Things like the SKS should have that sort of ability to stay on target in semi-auto, and its mad they don't. Bad irons and too much random jump make some of the others just feel bad to use in comparison and I think thats why the SVT feels like such an outlier.

    The main reason you'd say it's overpowered is because there's no round that matches 7.62X54r, it's just so stupidly good. I'm not going to complain about it though, because it gives average players like me a chance to counter the people already running around factory with tier 6 armor and PKMs. We need more weapons early players can get their hands on, to counteract the progression issues players have later in wipe.

    A part of me wants to take this as you saying I'm a skilled player because I've been absolutely beaming kids with it all wipe, but I honestly do believe the gun is broke, at least in early wipe, its only 2k more than a mosin with better stats all around and people already hated the "mosin man" meta. One big adjustment I think the gun needs is that the hipfire needs toned down. It's very easy to hit almost every shot even spamming the gun from the hip in close range, I would argue I'm just as confident swinging with it from the hip as I would be a SR-25 with a laser (minus the mag size ofc)

    I'm putting too much hope on the upcoming armor changes, where ap ammo will simply not be something most people will care about unless they are hunting specific AI/ running factory.
    Meaning: shots on target will be more important than most other factors. IMO this whole ammo meta isn't really healthy for the game (or any game, really).
    Finding good ammo should be a 'nice bonus', where it will help you make more accurate shots/ defeat some armors in a way that you will win maybe 15% more of your 1v1 gunfights. It shouldn't determine a guns viability, really that should come down to caliber and barrel length.

    7.62x51 is in a difficult spot, because it has bad weapons (Vepr, stock m1a) and meta weapons at the same time (Sr-25, mdr, meta m1a,...). Which makes it very hard to balance it out with m80.
    My Idea - to buff 7.62x51 without unbalancing the meta - would be an ammo for 7.62x51 around 40-42 Pen and decent other stats, but incredible high durability burn.
    Bolt-actions wouldnt be affected by the burn that much and would have a decent place again.
    Vepr Hunter and rfb are cheap weapons, so you could play it a few times and throw it into the trash. But you couldnt mag dump with 50 rounds mags in a meta m1a, because at the end the weapon is almost destroyed.

    I agree that the gun is not stronger than Meta builds as especially the lack of a Picatinny rail for scopes will hold it back in Mid to Endgame, but what makes it "broken" is the early accessibility of not just the gun but also the Ammo.
    Also I personally find the AVT way scarier than the SVT. Buying a FULL-Auto LPS gun from Prapor 2 is just insane and no amount of recoil will change that. That they did this after finally pushing M80, which is worse than LPS, so far back that ARs actually see some use is beyond me.

    Trying to compare 7.62 NATO guns to the SVT makes no sense, you can buy LPS with higher damage and pen than m80 at level 15. The SVT is best in class for 54r right now, and 54r availability is leagues better than 7.62 NATO. It's not balanced in its own calibre, or against the broader DMR category. No it won't be the meta for chads, but it's 1000% the go to budget pvp option.
