very unique awesome looking uniforms and squad emblem
MG39 appearance is a bit more unique than all other MG42 squads (No bipod, different iron sight)
BR IV
Bad:
another 50 round MG42 squad
MG39 feels like it got worse recoil control than all other MG42s
No bipod: Mounting is way lower and therefore more obstacles in view when mounted.
Terrible perk points for a BR IV machinegunner squad
In summer maps, they got regular cosmetics
Terrible perk points:
Regular Machinegunner III soldiers got 17/18/22
For recoil control, those could get both -20% vertical and -30% horizontal recoil, which is important for high machinegun recoil.
The german squad only got 18 and therefore is missing the -20% vertical recoil perk.
I think it’s still good for F2P players that have 3 infantry squad slots, they get to build specialist emplacements like MG, HMG, AT gun, AA gun all in one squad.
It’s completely redundant squad if you already have mg 42 early and mg34 patronommel or mg15, hell even mg42 could be better with a well rolled mg gunners.
Having more round in the magazine could save that squad but with the current iteration i will be benching it forever just like most German crappy event squads.
Perks after reset:
I put 2 points in reload speed, vertical recoil, 2 run, 1 med, aim speed, vitality and health regen, shell shock and stamina, you have some powerful mg squad. The 39 has great hipfire too
My BR4 line up is happy, recoils is controllable with 2 points, only thing is ammo packs and build engineer box asap if defending a position.
Just one is not enough i want two in a TT and also one as a gold order or event weapon, or at least two in a TT if they are that lazy with a gold order weapons that they don’t want to add anything new.
Well for an F2P perspective this squad looks very decent, probably the other 2 Squads you guys mentioned are better, but whitout access to them this squad works pretty well for a very very well armed Engineer squad, it can build pretty much everithing, and even if the MG39 is worse than the MG42s having 5 in the squad is still decent firepower.
The only thing i find a bit lacking is that its 4MG 1 Engineer, with a 3MG 2 Engineer setup it would be even better.
I love how they get their unique uniforms for Moscow, Stalingrad/Rzhev and Bulge, but you can’t get to Moscow with BR4 and I will never ever play Stalingrad/Rzhev with BR 4-5 lmao
Also MG-39 (50) just seems to be worse than MG-34 (75)?
It’s FREAKING crazy that they don’t have bipods and it also really sucks that you can’t unequip them (I would like to add one to my assaulter squad MGer).
