You honestly should try them. Some mgs are actually pretty good. And them ovement penalty isn’t a huge deal, as you can simply switch weapons to get rid of it, so you only need to deal with it in combat, which is a fair compenstion for how powerful they are.
Probably no ADS, since as far as I know the m1919 had no stock, which would make that borderline impossible on the move.
you see, i couldn’t try the fg42, but i could try the sten and the mp40. I don’t really know how those two weapons feel like in the PSNetwork, but in pc, the sten has a pretty har recoil.
In the practise camp you can fire a mp40 and basically fully discharge your mag in the head of the 6 wood targets (and not failling any bullet). meanwhile with the Sten MK II, it could have better damage (i can’t remember rn) but the recoil patern is pretty much difficult than the mp40. I also heared the FG42 is insanely good xD
I have used both the MP40 (Moscow) and Sten (tunisia) extensively and I can tell you, the sten is better. it’s a bit worse accuracy wise, but it has a better rof and the recoil is actually a lot better. (I’m Also on PC). The sten also has better hipfire control/accuracy.
The FG is insane. The few times I’ve picked it up, the only issue with it seemed to be the ammo count.
would actually prefer over the top DoD2 recoil
Or the barrel heating as seen on right side of screen.
The movement restrictions MG’s has does really make them near useless.
1919a6 will likely come in with a MG34 PT(the 75 round MG34)
I just want a belt fed 1919… Because it’s overdue. Why isn’t it here yet?
It should have been in game since the start of normandy campaign. Instead of 3 BARs.
haber solo hay 2 bars y 1 es una bren pero en eso estoy de acuerdo en vez de la bar A2 poner la de .30
pretty much this, as someone who’s actively trying hard to finish all campaign on axis side, I have to say the MP40 has really nice recoil compared to all allied SMGS, still since its dpm is lower compared to Thompson and PPSH it will eventually get replaced by STG and FG along the way.
I have not only tried them, I only played MG squads till the nerf, all 3 squads MG34 on Moscow and well on the way to the same thing on the other campaigns. Yet I am not saying they should get buffed back into being OP, because they definitely were too strong.
I think “IF” MGS get their bipods fixed as well as maybe some accuracy bonus while laying down they will be absolutely viable - however not for me tho.
U know, I am one of those players that use their keyboard to assist with their accuracy, meaning I press A and D a lot - NOT because I like strafing and jiggling around, but I do it to “adjust my aim a bit here and a bit there”, its just something I do all the time, thus the movement penalty applies to me always. thus I am avoiding these weapons altogether.
More a problem for me than for most players, since many folks are used to playing counterstrike where you need to stand still or duck down to get decent accuracy out of your guns.
Also MGs with their ridiculous spray still have a place in the game, especially for noobs, because having the power of one hit kills with a big mag and high rate of fire, makes sure that even they can kill something : )
Most likely because they dont know how to animate the MGs without a magazine, like third person model of a belt hanging around.
At least thats my guess
I meant after the nerf. I barely experienced pre-nerf mgs. And I think they’re absolutely viable rn. The Mg34 is actually my favourite gun to use in this game.
Hmm, weird. I don’t do that. I simply move with keyboard and aim with mouse, as I like my aiming to be smooth and not snappy. And for moving around it’s not a big deal if you have a sword+run speed perk.
Or for veteran players so they can do enough to makie up for the rest of their team being braindead.
Well I tried them past the nerf, and yes the MG34 for example can still snipe ppl at a fair distance away, meaning if you are good at burst firing and stay still when you shoot, it can definitely still wipe squads rather quickly.
Still, as I said … I aim with my keyboard as well as with my mouse, something I have done for many years in many shooters, and something I can not get rid of : )
Honestly, I’d say all the good mgs are capable of this. Only garbage tier guns like the breda, bren or the madsen can’t.
Cool, but still would be basically impossible to shoulder, as it weighed a lot (15kg).
I don’t think it will stop devs from making it a gunner weapon. Nor they will make it difficult to run around with a 200 rounds belt loaded to the gun.
I’d really like to, but I don’t believe it.
Yeah, unfortunately…
they likely will make it 100 rounds and function as any normal MG considering ingame soldiers can fire the 12 kilo MG34, the 11 kilo MG42, the 13 kilo lewis or the 11 kilo bren without mounting
the mg 34 was 26.7lbs or 12.1kg
mg42 25.5 lbs or 11.6 kg
a1919-a4 31lbs
1919 a6 32lbs
they are all heavy weapons not just the browning so they should have the movement penalty but also it would be awkward to shoulder mg 34/42 and fire while standing
Yeah, the browning is just quite a bit heavier than the rest though. A whole 20% heavier than the Mg34. Shouldering that thing would be like dual wielding BARs.
Though the 1 thing i’d have against nerfing them in this way is that it would make moscow axis suffer even more.
