Oh.. trust me it is Lelic money(pay to win) over balance design. And this point completely irrelevant to my response of what you said.
"pgren g43's are each like BARs, Also they have extremely good moving dps. Compared to 3 bar they are quite cheap (50/60 muni vs 180 muni, yet another one of Lelic's money over balance design)."
"Well obviously the upgrade doesn't cost 180 munitions because you're not upgrading from an M1 Garand, but an Stg44 / elite MP40 on a limited amount of expensive squads."
"Yeah, You can justify that for pg's but not for ST's. Their default weapon is kar98's. The mp40's are still free."
"It does. Saying Storms should pay much more for their G43's than Pgrens ("you can justify that for pg's but not for ST's.") because they start with Kars instead of STG's is stupid, because their MP40's are free and can be upgraded anywhere."
"Never said st's should pay more simply said they pay less then bars regardless weather mp40's are supposed to be their default weapons or not."
Ok, so you don't want to them to pay more, but why do you call it "money over balance" design that G43's are 50/60 muni then?
G43 Pgrens:
- Bundle nade
- Better veterancy scaling (RA reduction accuracy increase*, my bad starts at vet 1)
- Combined Arms ability (-10% RA + 20% speed near vehicles)
- STG as fourth weapon (but note: the guy that dies first)
- 10 munition cheaper upgrade
G43 Storms:
- Commando camouflage(Not particularly useful for g43's)
- Passive healing(This is Not G43's exclusive)
- Smoke grenade(This is Not G43's exclusive)
- Incendiary grenade(This is Not G43's exclusive)
- 5% better RA at vet 0, 4% better RA at vet 3(This is Not G43's exclusive, and It can't compensate for the difference lack of dps)
- 33mp vs 34mp reinforcement cost(This is Not G43's exclusive)
- 33% faster decapture rate(This is Not G43's exclusive)
- Booby traps(This is Not G43's exclusive)
I listed the benefits of G43 Storms over G43 Pgrens. MP40 Storms vs G43 Storms would be another list.
There are different reasons to consider going from MP40's to G43's:
- Your opponent is adjusting to your MP40 Storms so they don't have quite as much impact.
- You have multiple Storms and it's hard to micro them all around the map to get in good positions.
- Your opponent is investing in short range squads that shred MP40 Storms one on one.
- The battlefield has become more deadly with tanks and indirect fire, making it risky to close in.
- Fights have become big blob vs big blob brawls and you need more long ranged firepower.
- Your opponent is microing his Sniper well so you need a longer range counter against it.
- You're bleeding too much because of above reasons.
G43 Storms are an excellent balance between the utility of MP40 Storms and flexibility of G43 Pgrens.
