Definitely, but that would be a choice.
The FG was actually OP in real life too but the thing is it was used by very few Waffen-SS or a regiment of paratroopers so we need an automatic alternative to the FG to give to troopers. Maybe MKB 42 instead? It came out in 1941 so was in more production at the time. M2 is straight up garbage and disrespecet to a very good gun when it came out.
Yep second that
They should keep the FG but only for gunners I think

Yeah make it a more bar counter part faster movement speed and if people freak out that it only a paratrooper squad weapon then add it that way
Why do we need an automatic alternative for troopers? Gewehr 43 should be as fast as it gets for the majority of troops.
Exactly. Keep it for gunners. Though Iâd be fine with having it for assaulters if that was preferable.
The game is balanced assymetrically.
You canât just take one thing and flat out compare it to itsâ counterpart without any context.
That is not how the factions are designed balance wise, and this is also not how they are going to design it in the near future as far as I can tell tell from the choices they are making.
Ok so can Germans shut up about the Jumbo and 2 planes? Its asymmetrical right? Yeah right like that will happen
Well idealy there are no automatic alternatives for basic infantry but if there are donât give guns that only a select amount of special paratroopers recieved. M2 was barely used aswell in WW2. I personally use garand since I only play allies anyway and it does the job, but most of my squads have no troopers anyway, my sniper squad is my most OP it has 2 dudes with petersen that I got without paying and an engineer and some nice snipers. most are rank 6-7 i think one is 8 who is called Kenneth Harrison. Also weirdly AI is pretty decent with the M2 better than us because they donât care about the broken recoil and sights
The only viable complaint is how the bar can only be carried by certain soldiers. The fg42 can be carried by more than 1 type. Other than that, everyone hasnât provided any explanations why the fg42 is op. It fires rounds at 750 ms. Americans fire over 800 ms. Itâs a serious advantage against moving targets. So youâve all done nothing but cry
The weapon should not be restricted. Just balanced. Germany should have a infantery advantage, since allies have better tanks and better planes.
And bolt actions rifles are not the âmain weaponsâ. I just watched the kill feed and yeah. 2/4 semi-auto, 1/4 automatic weapons and 1/4 bolt-actions (because they have to play that crap). But 90% of the players switch to the semi-auto weapons or later to automatic weapons. Nobody would play that game if bolt actions weapons were the main one´s.

Actual squads mostly used bolt actions in real war, because they hardly jammed compared to semi automatics. Itâs just that in the game people think semi automatics are better, but they have their disadvantages, such as lower damage.
Then the way to balance it is to make the Bar available to all it is the only comparable weapon in game with about the same damage the M2 is absolute trash and the jumbo isnât as invincible as yall think and the air issue about the air is that the 110 and 188 are both attackers and the 109 and 190 are interceptors like the 110 they could make the 188 a bomber role I guess or add a different aircraft but it FG-42 needs to be changed it doesnât matter how many tanks or planes you have infantry will be key to winning the game simple as that
you donât make any sense, but if youâre thinking the fg42 needs to be changed, it sure does. Itâs mounted recoil needs to be lowered 
It has 0 mounted recoil. The gun does not move if you shoot it mounted.
Actually it does. Only mounted prone it wonât recoil much.
Or just give the M2 a buff lol. FG 42 is not that OP. Most of the time I just farm kills with it because the enemy running directly into my view. And FG 42 is just in close quarter very strong. On higher range its not stronger then any other semi auto rifles (except for the 20 ammo mag). So it will be totally fine and enough to buff the M2 and thats all. And the second german bomber should get guns. The second allie bomber can wipe out the whole map with this 500lb bombs and he can ezpz destroy enemy airplanes. âand the jumbo isn´t as invincible as yall thinkâ Depends. As infantry you can kill this tank, like every other tank, very easy. But you have big problems with the Pz IV H to destroy the jumbo. Most of the times you will lose the fight if you dont get support or when the jumbo player is not totally braindead.
Hahahahah you should go back and read your other posts you have a one track mind 
It has recoil. But as greenkraut already said, only mounted prone you have nearly zero recoil.
