RSC M1917/18 rifle. What do you think about it?

[guardcomissar]

Sometimes Germans looks really overpower, expetially when they use benefits from their MG08/18, and French ChauChat can't get needed firepower. In reality this problem solved by huge amount of cheap ChauChat rifles on small sector of front, but in game we almost always have 4 German Mg vs 4 French Mg (and some variations of course). Besides, many players prefer take Bertier instead of ChauChat (me too), playing by MG class in Poilu team. Yes, it is like in reality, but it is against balance.
In the coming updates Germans take C96, which increase their firepower in the close combat sector. I think, French army deserve to get something useful too.
I think, that it is best choice for adding to the game. RSC automatic rifle was created as answer on mistakes in ChauChat, and widely used in the last period of war. It was produced 80 000 rifles in 1917-1918, and 6000 rifles with short burrel in the last mounth of the war.
Why we have Bergmann MP-18, which was produced only 18000, but don't have this RSC rifle?
It would be great to add this weapon to the high French Mashinegunner class or Rifleman, as help from semiautomatic fire to the weak firepower of French Mg.

I believe that they were gonna add it if they made a french assault squad, but they made the canadians instead. Personaly, with the BAR coming, i dont think it is a necessasy addition.

All roads in Verdun lead back to the Sho-Sho.

I've been in favor of it forever: add it as a replacement for the french MG class's rifle with extra ammo loadout.

Not 100% confirmed but it will probably be implemented at some point down the road.

I truly hope so, its a little known rifle for how important it is and I would love to use it so much.

As above it was originally planned for a French assault squad, that was replaced with the Canadians as the Devs saw it as a chance to get another country in rather than adding a thrid French squad.

The French don't have a squad that compares to the Stosstruppen and the MP-18i loadout/specialist.

A large part of the community has been in support of adding it to replace the Berthier for the Poilus gunners third unlock, no news from the Devs on it though.
