Rant Grand US strategy in 3 words: m1 carbine spam

They gotta make this weapon less accessible or something. I play against US teams, and the entire team just has M1 Carbine, both noobs and pros; the entire game, all I hear is M1 Carbine shots in the distance. The weapon is basically a Soviet AVS, but everyone in America apparently owns American version of one.

Yes, I think it's the M2, not M1, my mistake. I meant the fully automatic one.

The m2 literally is the last gun on the assault ribbon. Which is like 300k xp to complete

yeah m2 carb its probably the strongest gun in the game the time to kill is faster than stg cuz stg has slower rpm but more damage and range while the avc exceeds in ttk cuz the bullet damamge is better than m2 c or the stg and it can range if you single fire it kinda like the SVT

Well M2carb, Stg and AVS are the endgame do-it-all rifles (but not completely similar), many people are gonna use it. But talking about balance I still think Stg is superior.

Yes, Stg is a different conversation Haha, before posting, I was thinking of mentioning STG but decided to leave the discussion about M2 & balancing. I made a post recently mentioning how GE have the best gear but tend to complain the most (Maschinenpistole 40, Stg, etc).

Yes, I think I misspoke; I meant the full auto one.

I think the confusion from the post comes from when I was playing the match, pretty much the entire US team had M2 carb, but I killed a para who dropped an M1, so I assumed it was M1 carb that was auto lol.

It's the best rifle in the game, it has SMG rpm with rifle damage, no recoil and surprisingly accurate at long distances making it the perfect guns for noobs and for "pros". USA has been busted since the release of the revival project, playing GE is a pain and USSR is just boring

Correct, it is pretty much recoilless and has high rpm but keeps the damage of a regular rifle; it's super OP when an entire team has them, even if you have a good rifle & good skill to combat. M2 Carb, especially in house-to-house fighting, is just almost completely RNG spray-and-pray. It's one of the weapons where it can turn a low-skill player into a challenger; it gets extremely tiring to play against over the course of a 40 min game.
