If this was battle of hurtgenwald, a site where the M2 saw service.I’d have a different positions.

There were like… at least a few dozen, maybe a couple hundred at most or so full-auto-only modified M1 carbines that were at Normandy, if I remember correctly? But they weren’t division approved modifications at the time. So they should probably be a premium squad type of thing.
But as they’re already in game… good luck getting them taken out on historical grounds alone.

does not = factory run M2 carbines that are OEM from the factory as full auto
I have no expectation of getting them taken out on historical grounds but it throws out the “historical” argument for any and all axis weaponry.
Well yes, that’s quite fair.

yeah. I don’t wanna hear shit about FG42s or Mkb42s or eintossflammenwerfers while there are squads with M2 carbines followed by jumbos storming the beaches of normandy.

I don’t know how many times did I state that in my opinion M2 should not even be on Normandy.
But it’s hard to go through 200+ posts of mostly trash talk, I know.
There would be no sake of balance problems if FG42 was limited… no need for non existent opposite side gun.

You dont have to play with it.
Irrelevant as I merely pointed out that theres also other guns that had limited use or no use at all on certain maps.
Quite sure the FG had its nerf already, highly doubt it has similar OP effect on the game as current sealclubber planes has. Especiatly in certain maps.

But I have to be at receiving end of it?
Answer me a simple question.
Forget about all the other factors first. Are you ok that every German trooper on Normandy can be armed with FG42?
Im quite sure neither M2 or FG42 has such impact to the game it would be game breaking.
Not like planes that definitely are in desperate need of massive nerf / adjustment.
As currently it is most versatile weapon yes. This isnt exactly such simple matter of just locking the FG under premium squad or to specific class then every weapon should go under evaluation and adjusted for balance.
Different discussion, but some modifications need to be done, agreed.
Then we have nothing to discuss as we are different audiences. I am from a lot that support an historical approach to the game and would lock the FG42 behind a Para squad exclusively.
Playing a WW2 game where at later stages no one uses a Kar98k and Garand is not my cup of tea.
I would rather have a separate game mode with semi realistic loadouts and we would all be happy. Better that than to force our part of audience out of the game.

IF all the weapons goes under evaluation, im fine with it. But the current remove this gun X because I dont like to die to it is quite silly.
Semi auto / Bolt-action someone could see quite massive disparity already there.
Pretty sure they majorly fucked up the LW mode, I suppose they can fk it up little further so your hopes may very well become reality.
Well then there should be a lot less different guns. Also for historical accuracy, there should be a 50/50 chance for the Garand to jam on the 7th shot. The engines of planes need to go out in negative g. You should not be able to repair tanks, since everithing but brocken tracks is hard to impossible to repair in the field. There need to be more than one person on the ground stiker planes and so on historical accuracy is no where to be found.
Why is that fu up little further? I am talking about squads, that is the whole point of arming the whole squad at least semi historically. You have to give players options and I am for that.
But fu up? I don’t force you to eat shit I like, why would I eat shit they serve to you?
Well im granting you the LW mode for your dreams & hopes.
Could have sworn just earlier you were asking for removing / restricting peoples weapons with nothing in exchange.
Hm, sorry but who are you to grant me anything? 
I didn’t understand this one, apologies.
You need a therapist if youre breaking shit over a game mate.
So, please give 8x scopes to german snipers instead of those mid range 4x they have now
that was a problem solved before ww2 began though, and was only a problem around it’s adoption due to tool-room procedures.
