i hope the dev can remake and copy how the post scriptum aka squad 44’s gunplay design
What’s with this one sided crap… nerf the mg 42 into the ground with 1200-1500 fire rate then
gameplay value >>> historical accuracy (which is already out the window)
Usually the game takes the base rof and in upgrades put a 15% increase of rof like example
The MP-2 has irl rof of 550 rpm but when upgraded it has the ingame rof of 630 rpm
550 probably was the max of the MP40, which in reality makes it one of the few smg’s that the Dev’s actually got right. However, when have the Dev’s given a s**t as to historical accuracy, so in the interest of game balancing, “BUFF ON”… And while were at it, buff the FNAB to 600-690 max and the Allies level one M50 to 700 base and 800 max to compete with the Type 100. 
Forget the MP40, I’d actually kill to get the FG42 II rof reduced to 700 RPM because the shit is eating through magazines way too fast
MP 43/1 RoF 450? Ok.

There should be meaningful rof difference between MP40 and MP38, not just 10 rof difference when both weapons are stock.
Especially since rof difference is mentioned in ingame description of said weapons.
The recent changes to the Japanese weapons RoF, and the RoF changes on the AVS and FG 42, and the multitide of RoF changes based on historical values before that would seem to prove you wrong, the devs do care about depicting weapons accurately.
it is not so much about historical values, but more about cherry picking sources. lot of times old ROF values are what is reported in most gun books and new values are from some obscure document. there is also lot of times where rof is reported in a range e.g. hyde m1944 has rof between 600-1200rpm and devs picked 800, mp40 has 450-550 and devs picked 500.
this document is actually nothing new, it is just that devs picked the number in the middle

They are trying, that is the only thing that doesn’t need proving.

if they wanted they could have given stg44(well maybe mkb42?) 800 rof…

What book is this? I usually prefer native sources for these things.
small arms of the world. one of the best all around sources for the ww2 guns.
I’d get a primary source (or one closer to a original source), a compendium isn’t much at all.
i dont remember a thing that it got wrong. although for stg44 it compressed data for mkb42, mp43 and stg44 and that is why it has that note.
btw i only found 1 info that is contested in that book(iirc for mp35) and that is cause all books write one info and youtube video shows other.
