main problem of AS44 is that it is PAPER WEAPON, model5 is literally 1 gun produced by HANDS!, all versions of as44 7 guns produced EVER!! paper weapons shouldnt be progression weapons, there are golden orders,premium squads, action weapons and squads. Game literaly looses WW2 vibes, of cause it is not balance issue!! Dont forget that campaigns will be merged soon. And we will see not even preserial gun, that is literally handmade artifact, in the hands of every second soldier even on 1941 battlefield.

Yeah you can melee with it when it gets rough and you run out of ammo. Plus you get sprint speed, vitality and vertical recoil perk on Assaulter3s and it's nuts how crazy this gun is combined with better perk loadout they can get compared to the Premium AS-44 squad. Only interesting thing is that prem squad can get both vertical and horizontal recoil perks that make the gun point and click but still that doesn't outvalue vitality and sprint speed. I'd basically run the AS-44 m4 with vert/horizontal recoil combo until you unlock Assaulter3s and AS-44 m5 then I'd run 3x Assaulter squads with Assaulter3s with each 4x AS-44 m5 and vita/sprit/vertical perks.
i tend to equipp my soviet assaulters with federovs and ppsHs for primary and secondary, federov is great for all ranges but can struggle to clear out rooms due to its ammo capacity, thats where the ppsH with its 71 rounds and heavenly firerate comes in handy, the AS 44 is a very good weapon, but it mildly getsbeaten out by its rivals in both factors

AK 101,102,108 and AK 19 is 5,56x45. Russians primarily use AK74 (all variants) and recently adopted AK 12, older AKMs and AKMSs are issued to some but mostly due to shortages of rifles on the front.

I believe it's so they can balance weapons in future, like adjusting recoil multiplier to adjust actual recoil without changing original stats. Idk, just guessing, and not sure why they need it to begin with
@@MajorMcDonalds ehhh its so weird, your new weapon you thought to use and buy may be better than your current one but you wont know because darkflow said no. but thanks for reply
Horizontal is better on the most guns since gun kicking up is much easier to control than moving left and right all the time unless recoil is predictable and kicking only in single direction then whatever
@@Dregomz02 Yes, I agree with that. But there are some UA-camrs (mainly Quadro) who think that vertical recoil perk is better because you get 10% more reduction, that's why I'm asking.
Conders MG is a gold order weapon, you can't equip a whole squad with it. People wouldn't complain if Darkflow simply made AS-44 model 5 a gold-order weapon.

It would say they are in same tier with STG44 but axis main keep complaining about how powerful soviet never know how powerful tiger tank is and stg44. As someone who play both sides, i say the only difference is Axis op because people play axis more than soviet, berlin currently unbalanced
@@macobuzi And the Germans start off with the Panzer IV J. Which can only penetrate very specific spots on the T-34-85. Whereas the T-34-85 can basically penetrate anywhere on the Panzer IV J. Hell, even the Panther G and Panzer IV/70(A) can barely compete with the T-34's. It isn't until you reach level 31 for the Tiger E that you then really compete with the tanks that Soviets get at level 1 and 12

@@macobuzi At this point, the only thing the Germans having going for them are the FG 42's. And even then, they're only slightly better than the AVS and AVT
All you need to know about the differences between AK obr 47 obr 49(or type first) and AS-44 is that the only thing the 2 share is the mag and ammo, everything el;se is completely different.
As44 never hit service why is it in main tree?? Bias on display wherrs the drum mags mid campiagn for other factions again or is it 'balance' in one direction
Yes, the AS44 is game breaking BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER USED IN COMBAT NOR DID IT SEE SERVICE PRIOR TO THE NAZI DEFEAT. Holy crap just because it was designed before the end doesn’t mean it was in the conflict. I have some books in reference to the AK47 type 1, as44 and the MP43/STG44 and the history of the assault rifle and Submachine gun in the Cold War and it’s used today. The AS44 was not issued or used, it had a lot of errors and flaws. Type 4 and type 5. The type 5 wasn’t produced until 1946 because they couldn’t get the stampings correct. kalashnikov’s type 1 milled was successful in trials and thus why it became their choice in the trials. AS44 lost out. It’s simple. Dark flow just wants to milk the players so they can grind to the end and then have a merge so it will be more incentivized to spend money in game to compete with a weapon that did not exist in the battlefield.
Never understood the hype behind the Federov. I think the STG is definitely better because the simple reason is that it’s a lazer the second you buy it you don’t need a max leveled soldier with recoil perks and you don’t need to upgrade it to slap the entire enemy team. The Federov on the other hand can you say the same? NO! I’ve heard everyone that’s used it say it has recoil and you must upgrade it. Therefore I feel the STG is definitely the better pick since you have the ability to lazer better then the Federov and that’s a fact just use a one star Federov and compare it to the one star STG AND YOU WILL AGREE💯💯💯
The allies had no need for direct counter to STG, now they got it anyway, its an brilliant example of one big stupid soviet bias, the weapon that never existed and with bayonet for soviet banzai charges, overall when i see how fedorov is even more OP to this made up scifi post war AR that never existed on large scale in a first place and will be available for everyone and owned by everyone sooner or later, this game really starts to appear like total crap... Really axis cant posses something different or better than soviets ? Oh i want H&K G3 for germans then, just in case ... cause you know .... reasons ...

Also me: I'm gonna wait for the merge.
Now you can play as a Tiger II in Normandy and Battle of the Bulge and get 15 tank kills.
Technically the ak-47 is in enlisted. Through the modern combat event. A shame there's no campaign actually using it; I'd love a Vietnam campaign
Probably not, it's a ww2 based FPS game. It would need the Devs to model new weapons for a Vietnam campaign and won't fit into the merge

Bro got a shout-out from Gaijin literally. 💀
Tbh i always felt like the as44 is way easier to use and control than the federov.
Because Federov uses a bigger bullet and has more damage.
It actually is. I don't know why people prefers fedorov when as 44 is a lot better
Does anyone know how to use the Grb-39 anti-tank weapon from Tunisia and the keybinds that they have?
At this point there is no accuracy in the game anymore
The Conders MG is the 🫅 of all guns in the game so far to date my opinion and is a 🥇 What say you ? 😎
Conders MG is a gold order weapon, you can't equip a whole squad with it. People wouldn't complain if Darkflow simply made AS-44 model 5 a gold-order weapon.
As44 is a direct upgrade to stg44 with better rof, dispersion and bayonet
At this point, they should just give the US M-16 and give a middle finger to the Axis side.
Most of the Soviet guns are direct upgrades to their Axis counterparts
@@macobuzimaybe in a vietnam campaign, in the distant future maybe we could see that.
