The FG42/Panzerfaust Dilemma

[zed]

The FG42 and Panzerfaust are two pretty cool weapons that both use their own unique ammo types, LMG ammo and Panzerfaust warheads. These weapons can both go in the secondary slot but that is where the problem lies. I never want to grab the Panzerfaust as it'll limit my combat effectiveness when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan, it's a great weapon for tanks but I might as well shoot the driver and throw some timed TNT at it. The FG42 is a very effective weapon for gunning down enemies, but it's rare ammo means once you run dry, you'll likely have to grab some random guy's submachine gun that in many cases might not be the secondary weapon you prefer to use.

My solution to this problem might be controversial to some, but hear me out. I'd remove the flare gun and add a 4th slot for those heavy weapons. Why the flare gun, you ask? First of all, flares are hard to come by, only dropping from spotters to my knowledge. Grenades, TNT, or an SMG are typically more than capable of dealing with larger amounts of enemies, hell, the FG42 (and Panzerfaust to a lesser degree) excels at crowd control.

With this 4th weapon slot, they could've even added in some other weapons, such as a MG42 with which you have to put it's bipod onto cover for stable fire, sacrificing mobility but giving you superior firepower, allowing you to lock down a position and mow down crowds who are funneling through a choke point.

I'm fully aware this idea will never get into the game due to how old said game is, but feel free to give your input, just keep it civil.

I think the Devs said in SE5 you'll be able to carry a Panzerfaust in addition to your rifle / SMG / pistol, but the caveat about the Panzerfaust is that it will be more true to real, as in it's disposable, single use, no reloading by putting an additional warhead on it. I'd have to go back and relisten to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T__8_80c4NA to double check.

That's pretty cool, I'm really excited for SE5.

To go quiet or to go loud.
I see no problems anywhere.

You should contain your imagination for the “new” release.
This game is done.

Read the post, pal. I said I know that this game is finished and that this will never get in to the game. You don't need to tell me that.
