In my opinion, the FN1930 was the most perfect assault machine gun the Germans could have on the Eastern front early on, the Rati M26 was too lethal for its rate of fire, and the MG34 did not perform well in the attack.
I am curious about the future weight of FN1930 and whether she can appear in Moscow? If she shows up, it’ll be a nice boost for the Germans.
There are also infantry general purpose full-power automatic rifles, the concept of post-line time will be diluted, so the Mkb42 (G) should be used to balance the AVS36 and AVT40 too powerful for the early Eastern front. Hopefully, the early problems on the Eastern front will be balanced, rather than fudged by mechanics.

It all depends on what BR it will be at after the merge and in which BR bracket the Moscow maps will sit at.
eh…
the grindable counter part ( BAR ) is rated highly in the tier list ( compared to moscow )
( and the FN potentially is even better than the counter parts. hence, rated even more )
most likely, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to use it in tunisia. at best, stalingrad.
( unless you will get blessed with the uber down tier and get to face moscow equipment. but that’s unlikely )
so… you will be able to use it in rare occasions, or through customs.
not as common as you’d wish for in the common matchmaker though.
but, that’s speculation on my part based on stats and this somewhat oudated sheet.
best of luck.
The current German (polish) premium BAR is even better than FN, I would say.
And since you can have MkB in Moscow, I wouldn’t say FN is somewhat OP. Especially if you consider Soviets can take Federov MG and classic variant as well.
FN really isn’t that powerful.
you do realize that the in the merge and tiers, the mkhb it’s a tiver V weapon, right?
i hardly doubt you’ll use tier V equipment in moscow.
FN will be better than earlier weapons
beside, it’s more of an “assault” machinegun rather than being a defensive one.
for the germans, it’s quite an upgrade over the mg 15 and breda.
In progressions? Yes.
What is its actual BR level we don’t know. That’s only speculation.
you’re not one of those who thinks you’ll get to face tigers in moscow… right?
that’s beyond delusional.
nothing that surpasses mp40s, panzer IV E/F1s will appear there.
maps and tiers will be defined by weapons.
brs are just smaller brackets of tiers.
of where you put almost chronologically in order weapons ( outside the federov. as that’s unironically the best weapon made that somehow surpasses even ww2 ones )
or, outside other few exception where are either too advanced as weapons to be good at latter tiers ( such as mp3008s, vg 1-5s etc.
edit, as far as we know, for the soft rule that goes,
the more you have equipment of a theater, the more you’ll be putted there.
hence, i doubt you’ll go in stalingrad with vgs.
( actually… not so sure about this one )
we could have another machine gun, zb. vz 30, its a better zb26 with higher rpm and could have a faster reload
Mkb42 currently isn’t available in any campaign with Tigers.
And progression tiers doesn’t reflect real BR. We don’t know anything about BR levels, we can only speculate.

no, it’s a way of thinking.
meaning that, usually, people that thinks that somehow mkhbs will appear in moscow, are usually the same that thinks tigers I will end up in moscow too.
due to the insanity of the matter.
as said, usually it’s about the equipment that you bring. that most likely will decide where you go.
( but taking in consideration for example, mr mkhb being at the top tier, you won’t even see moscow for that regard )
I wouldn’t be so optimistic about it. You could be very disappointed after merge.
Another mkb in Moscow isn’t needed. And you talk about the Avt 40 being op but it isn’t in Moscow. And the Avs is a rifle that starts on semi auto. Yeah I agree that the FN 1930 being in Moscow but not another mkb. Keep in mind Moscow was a 1941 battle and we already have the H and W. Really all I hear from you is a lot more complaining and not enough getting good.
there is a %.
but, i believe due to the backlash ( minor if we have to be honest ) of the campaigns selection being removed, they “made” the " soft HA rule " to begin with.
and wouldn’t really make much sense VGs in tunisia… stalingrad, or what not.
which will happen if not many people within the same br can fill for example berlin. or what not.
it’s a semi auto rifle.
not what you actually think it is.
but yeah, not for moscow.
that’s idiotic.
heck, campaigns won’t even exist anymore(ish)
I hope so.
Yeah, I would hate it. That’s why I suggested to artificially rebalance stats according to year of deployment. So at least immersion is kept.
Since devs already proved it’s very possible to make OP weapon from its real life shtty counterpart (federov is best example)
But no one liked my suggestion so it’s irrelevant. I do understand it would be quite drastical change.

more like, an example we shouldn’t ever picked up.
although… on second thought, people would complain about guns being too realistic either way…
( or… guns with dispersions because some gun in real life weren’t good as enlisted one. G43s & G41s being the primal example )
or mkhbs. etc

The Gustloff design was more similar to a self-loading rifle in appearance than the typical ‘assault rifle’ style of the other two models. The MKb.42(G) had two designations: Model 206 (semi-auto only) or Model 208 (select fire).
i missed the part where he suggested for the automatic version.
so yeah, that’s a no.
and now that i’m thinking about it,
both the semi and automatic should go as gold order weapons.
not to… somehow " be on par " of svts.

I agree would be a cool gold-order weapon.

Now it being a gold order weapon would be something I can be on board with. But not a base campaign gun
