trust me if I have to find information on an anime, on English wikipedia it is a library if I have to do a search is the blank sheet of a printer
then the same thing is said also on Russian wikipedia with lots of sources below, which was used in 44 in various groups of the army to be tested, they also rendered me on a book to buy where the same thing is written, so I think it is was used during the war in small scale
I’m going to have to ask for a link to the russian article then, so I can do my best to read it.
I expressed myself badly, the links are there, they talk about the weapon, but the translation sucks, so I read what little I managed to read, which says it was tested in 44, then there is a line of excerpt from this book
"Conformance batch of 1000 machineguns were produced in Kovrovsky factory #2 in 1944 and sent for troop testing including the field army. "
i can’t read any further, this is the best i can do
HeG topic with book lines
TLDR: it is like the automatic beretta 1918, there are no precise documents but a lot of conflicting information, it is interesting
Oh, you mean the russian wiki article that says this?
In 1944, a sample of Degtyarev’s design, known as the RD-44, went ahead in competitive tests. Machine guns RD-44 until the end of the war were manufactured in a small series and were tested in the army. Soon after the war, a modernized version of this machine gun, adapted to the now standard 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge , was adopted by the Soviet army as the “Degtyarev system light machine gun (RPD)” [5] .
“Tested in the army,” doesn’t mean “tested in combat.”
I can’t read a book from a foreign-language amazon link.
and this from the first post in that H&G topic:
None of your cited sources support your point.
do you think I want to see the weapon in game? maybe you misunderstood me i got interested in the research so i posted everything i found on the topic, first i just said they could put it in the game as it was being tested in 44 as reported, you really think i have 1 hour and a half left to corroborate my thesis on the use of the weapon in game?, no the research took me also said at the end
Dont worry im not a main im part of no full auto team

I may have misunderstood your point?
You anticipate the RPD being added to Berlin (which is reasonable since it was in CBT.) You also tried to provide source-cited arguments supporting the realism of that choice? Even if you don’t want it added, you argued against my reasons why it shouldn’t, so I dunno. I’m only arguing that it shouldn’t be added to the campaign track, make it gold order or premium squad at best.
Hell yeah, no full auto for troops! It’s okay for SMGs and LMGs, but keep that shit off of basic soldiers.
What do I have to say I did not want to go against you, it was probably as I wrote if it could have looked like this, I apologize, I should have said it first my fault
really was in CBT? then it will surely be there

Unfortunately, yes. It’s not guaranteed though, we had IS2 and Tiger 2(p) in CBT as well.

Maybe? Were they not in the more reason CBT for Berlin?
I know they were in one of them, but my memory is garbage.
is2 and the tiger had already announced them, I just didn’t know about the rpd, mh interesting then I finally understood where the developers do the research from, from wikipedia
That’s most of my point, even wikipedia, in english or russian, doesn’t support the RPD seeing combat in WW2

Nah, you’re good. You thought you had sources that contradicted mine, even if you agreed on the main point and tried to give me better info. On closer inspection, they all say basically the same thing, and we all learned. Good times.

is the one written on wikipedia, I said that the research is done from there 
, however on the issue I would like to trust the development team being Russian, perhaps they have material that we do not have, the news readable on the internet is too fragmented
Yes mauser
