G3 needs higher damage, and other realism/balance issues

-According to balistic tests, Ak-47 with 7.62 × 39 mm ammunition seems to cause as high damage as M-16 in spite of higher caliber. All assault rifles/carbines in PR mod need 2/3 hits to kill unarmored/armored, which is all right bu G3 should be exception. I uses 7.62 × 51 mm NATO ammunition, the rifle itself has long barrel so it should be much more powerful than any other rifle and accurate as well.
My suggestions:
-Increase its damage to 140 so it can kill unarmored/armred target with 1/2 hits. But double its recoil too (or even more) and give it lower rpm (500) because of balance.
If this doesn't meet your ideas(IF 2/3 is strict) then give MEC HK33A3 rifle which uses 5.56 x 45 mm NATO ammunition and have low recoil.

-M4 and its british equivalent should be worse to control on full auto (slightly higher recoil and deviation ) by reason of 900rpm. (not including M16 firing short bursts)

-posture should affect recoil (I think it is possible in BF2 engine)

-smaller magazine (HK53A3, G3) means the weapon should be easier to control when lying than rifles with longer magazine like M16/M4, this can by done by decreasing "deviation prone" slightly.

there are already enough threads about the g3 and the other rfiles, it wouldnt have been necessary to open a new one - that said

the g3 mags are "smaller" because the bullets are bigger and you´ll get only about 20 bullets in a mag that would fit 30 5.56 bullets

I've been told this is not possible with the engine.


But yeah, the g3 needs to be a very effective weapon, and I feel like we could increase the damage of all weapons while we are at it, sometimes feels like I'm shooting like 5 bullets into a guy and he isn't going down. (though this is most likely because of lag)

And don't forget a new sound! It needs a new sound too. :)

There is already a thread on this. Closing.
