Disappointment towards MG's

Suggestions
1

Both me and @VoyoMayPL maid a ton of suggestions asking for sandbag MG-42 to be removed and replaced with nation unique MG’s like M1919 on tripod for USA, Shielded Maxim for USSR, MG-34 and MG-42 on laffete mount for Germans. We both had a ton of positive feedback and a lot of players wanted this problem fixed and OBT comes and you devs just IGNORE IT??

You introduce a new map where you put an MG-42 inside the Russian bunker??

Also, MG-42 never saw service in 1941, it was introduced in 1942

It was also never mounted inside soviet bunkers
My proposal is to put an M1910 Maxim in that bunker

I guess they need more time. I’m willing to wait as long as they are made properly.

They never said that they will introduce better MG’s

We never know

At some point they will have to make them.
After all they said that game will be (somewhat) historical.

Fingers crossed. I’m working on the “”“new”"" project right now so I leave it to you.

I am fairly sure extra MGs will come to Moscow at some point. Just look at the amount of guns we have ingame rn xD

Small dev team means they cant always get everything in as quickly as we’d like. Balance is more important than cosmetics atm and I’d say they’ve focused on that for launch. Also, the MG42 was around earlier than 1942 in military service, it just didn’t get officially adopted by the Germans until 1942 when it completed “field trials” (under actual combat fire lol).

Oh what great trials those were. Definitely wasn’t well received on the receiving end.

I do actually stand corrected. The official designation for them then would’ve been MG 39/41 in their prototype forms. They were basically MG42s though. Ian goes into the process in detail here for the first 5 minuites or so of the video: https://youtu.be/OVPxZdBxUJU

As long as it makes bzzz, I don’t care if it was introduced in 41 or 42 :upside_down_face:

All those guns could have easily been put on that bunker. I don’t think putting a DP-27 which we already have is hard to do

Prototype MG-42 can easily be premium and not a fixated engineer weapon in Moscow

It being “somewhat” present in late 1941 is not the reason to completely replace the MG-34 with it

Well tchof, to be fair, I do recall posts from months ago where they said they will re-do a lot of models to look historically accurate and nation-specific, such as tank insides, sand bag models and so on.
I think machine guns will definitely be on this list too. I mean, I hope they wouldn’t give something as least important as sand bags a nation specific look yet ignore machine guns… would they?

I don’t understand why is everyone against me

Devs never said to us that they will remove sandbag MG’s

Until then, I have full right to suggest

… Again just to be sure

I’m not against you, I just don’t think they’ll ignore it and leave mg42 in every nation’s hands.
A lot of people have complained about mg nests in the previous months and even your polls regarding them had some mixed views.

I don’t think they’re going just with majority votes here, they’re likely re-working them. I agree a bit of transparency over this issue would be welcome though.

Currently mg42 is most definitely their default placeholder, for pretty much anything. I recall you said it yourself that they even use it on ships in normandy.
I think they don’t consider it a high priority, but the fact that they took it down without saying anything definitely shows they’re thinking about what to do with it and don’t have anything set in stone yet

I wouldn’t say they are against you. They are just calm about it (google translator here)

You know, I’d rather build a shielded mg over a tripod one
