The subject is a copy from the Russian forum
In the German document RH 12-2/138 p.62 there is a comparison of the rate of fire of German weapons :
In this document, the rate of fire of the MP-40 is 550 rounds per minute, so I suggest increasing the rate of fire of the submachine gun to a historical value. Accordingly, with the complete improvement of weapons, the rate of fire will increase to 630 rounds / min.
You heard the man! Für das Faterland!
Despite the fact that I am Soviet Mein and an avid player for the Soviets, I will support this suggestion. Like.
In addition, bringing weapons to their real historical parameters, for example, to their real rate of fire, is based, it needs to be done.
I mean if Gaijin refuses the balance BR2 SMGs, so be it, this seems to be the last option open.
Am I missing something? How will increasing the fire rate make it more historically accurate, in fact it’d make completely different and unrecognisable.
Increasing the rate of fire to a historical value will make it more historical
In that paper it says it’s rpm was 550 not 630, how will making it’s rpm 630 be more historically accurate?
Yes, the weapon level system is a bit arcade-like, but as a historical witness, this problem should be addressed comprehensively by reducing the stats of all weapons.
Yeah, that sounds good. But you suggested a increase to the mp40’s stats not a decrease.
He will be in the top 550 only if they lower the rate of fire for his competitor, the PPS43, to 600 in the top
The pps43 ought to be br3 anyway.
Have fun this evening and post about it on a Russian forum 
Where’s this document from? @Аврора2003
I think you’re confused here @Yamoto4299-live , and you’re writing with someone who doesn’t quite understand the nature of your confusion either (presumably due to the language barrier), allow me to help:
In the game the base unupgraded RoF stats on all weapons are all based on historical values, which the original poster is proposing is actually 550 for the MP-40, not the current 500 base in game. The 630 number is simply the RoF the gun will have after it is fully upgraded, should this suggestion get implemented.
Now, if you think that it’s dumb that the devs are so focused with representing guns with historical RoFs when they’ll almost always be played fully upgraded and thus having the RoF altered anyway… well I do too, so please check out my suggestion about just that!
no their point is historical fire rate should not be taken as the floor or starting point but the end point. that the improved fire rate should not be superior to the historical rate, nor should historical rates be used to raise the base and thus improved fire rates. also that the gun would no longer fit at br2 with such a fire rate, and no a single gun is not an excuse.
in order to justify buffing a gun it should be worse than all competing guns not just one. the abuse of history to buff weapons of youre favored faction or nerf said enemy of said faction. example can you provide proof of 75 round german mgs being hip or shoulder fired please and thank you.
As long as it still makes that satisying thid thud thud sound 
RH 12-2/138 is the name of the document

Alright, I’m convinced. 
I’m no expert in German war documents, nor is my German itself the greatest, but it looks good to me and I hope the devs will take a look at your suggestion.
The thud thud of the gun is indeed very important, and has been rated by experts to increase shooter satisfaction by at least 35%!
Thanks for clearing this all up
