M1 Garand vs SVT-40

[VirtakäyttöinenKettu]

Which is currently the better performer? Stats wise the the M1 seems better but I'd like your take on the matter.

[Gary]

Stat wise they're both SA guns and not all that different, I think. The small differences in clip size, firing speed or damage drop off isn't really noticable, both are good two-hit kill weapons for many ranges against few opponents.

The main differences I see between those guns are price and sound. If you don't mind the extra cost and extra repair cost of using a captured gun rather than the gun belonging to your faction, you can go less noticed behind SU lines as US soldier by using a SVT-40 or go less noticed behind US lines as SU soldier with M1 Garand.

Personally I'm cheap and use the equipment belonging to my faction.

SVT is the superior weapon by far.

The best out of the identical scopes?

the least obstructive scope picture

Both are great, but for me I lean toward the M1G (better recoil at full rof and I like the sights more). While the recoil stats may look close, I can tell you there is definitely a difference after playing with both for a few thousand hours.

edit-
after looking over my stats, i have 23% accuracy with SVT and 26% with the M1G. (I have some terrible accuracy LOL, but still I seem to do better with the M1G)

It all depends on playstyle though. I play more CQC with the SA rifles than range...

[⚡️Andromache⚡™]

matter of preference, mods, and playstyle. In my case, ! perform better with modified M1G and no scope.

[Evan]

All personal preference between the slight change in stats and feel of the gun, but they are all close enough that I don't think any of them are "OP", which is a little difficult to do imo.

I think I prefer the m1 garand. After that, the SVT. The g43 feels a little too slow.

[Bobby Digital™]

the extra 2 rounds in the mag of the svt or g43 will really come into play quite often, unless of course you are for some reason hiding in a bush being a marksman type

[Thakard Gaming]

G43 overall is garbage in comparison to either the M1 and the SVT. The G43 was made to be used with the original 4.0x scope. When they took away the scope they didn't give the G43 any type of buff.

Therefore it has just sat there as a weapon to get past as quickly as possible. While the M1 and the SVT actually have uses in the game.

I forgot they deleted those scopes too.

You can still get them on the recon though, right?

[TwinuX]

Recon can, but US is relatively disadvantaged, having only a 2.8X at best compared with GE/SU 4.0X for recon.

Some minor, but occasionally meaningful differences between M1G and SVT are conefire and randomised recoil. M1G has lower conefire (0.11 versus SVT 0.145) and lower randomised recoil (which impacts both horizontal and vertical recoil).
Unfortunately, I can't give up-to-date exact stats for the recoil differences, my current data pool isn't as comprehensive as it once was.
