Machine gun belt. But there is a nuance

i have still not seen any mention of mg42 having those actual rof. neither 1800 nor 2000 rof were mentioned on that page you quoted.

also most often configuration of mg42 is 1200 rof and it came with 50 drum or 50 round belt that could be linked with other belts. 250 round belt was configuration when it was deployed on static positions from which they wouldnt move and it was made by linking 5 50 round belts.

btw if they wanted they could have easily linked 1000 round belt by combining 20 50 round belts.

I played Moscow CBT with the DP-27 looking like a Madsen (or was it vice versa?).
And I did not really care.

Wrong game.
This game’s strength is definitly not its graphics, especially since CBT.

lets start with quick summary from your source
image
1200-1500 rounds per minute

then we find that 1800 rounds per minute:

One of the most notable features was its high rate of fire, about 1,200 rounds per minute, with some versions reaching 1,800 rounds per minute, faster than the British Vickers machine gun’s 600 rounds per minute.

ok what versions?

checking on wiki for 1800 rpm mg42 you can find this:

In 1944, the material shortages in Nazi Germany led to the development of a newer version, the MG 45 (or MG 42V), which had a different operating mechanism that used roller-delayed blowback as opposed to roller locking. For this reason, the MG 45 is considered a different type of firearm, as the mechanisms of these two guns are different. It used steel of lesser quality, which reduced weight to 9 kilograms (20 lb), while retaining the horizontal cocking handle. First tests were undertaken in June 1944, but development dragged on and eventually only ten were built. The tested MG 45 fired 120,000 rounds in succession at a cyclic rate of fire around 1,350 to 1,800 rounds per minute.

mg45 (or mg42V) is not mg42.

btw mg45 is already in the game with 1650 rof.

Don’t bother with him he will just keep saying I want my 1900 rof with 250 round in TT because hey he’s probably tired of losing so much lol but no seriously just ignore him lmao

47

Well, you can put it in the Research Tree as indicated as MG42V with its 1800 rate of fire and a 250-round magazine, but it is in the Research Tree as an Improved Version.

48

Well yeah your right cause no dev would listen to you to add something that would be so unfair lol

49

Why is it unfair to ask for the corresponding cadence and ammunition belt? Why, if you have that logic, the PPSH41 and the Thompson should have their cadence lowered and the drum magazine removed?

50

There is no point in what you say

51

That’s like the equivalent of me asking to add the stinger into the tech tree cause I said so idc about the ppsh as the as44 is ten times better or Tommy’s lol as I do play all factions but what your asking for is literally the equivalent of a stinger and we know how much it made German mains cry when it got released lol

52

Like you don’t get how this gun your asking for can make this game so unfair lmfao like yeah as a event weapon I can see it releasing but imagine a squad of Germans just running around with this cause it was in the tech tree and I’m not speaking for any favorites I’m speaking for all nations cause you’re too blind to see how bad this gun is for the game

53

The AS-44 was not used in WW2 nor did it see combat and is given to the Soviets in the research tree, but the MG42 that did see combat cannot be put

54

Buddy go to the German tech tree and there’s this gun called mg42 don’t know if you haven’t reached it yet but it’s there and you can use it but it has 50 rounds but it should have 100 but you know you should leave that rock you live under and you know take a look around the tech tree lol

56

It does not have the Ammunition or the Rate of Fire that corresponds to it

57

Of course it not gonna have it lol your better off asking for mg42 with a 100 round in TT since you know gajin is gajin but for what your asking you gotta do a lot of begging and praying for something like that to be added lmfao

58

So what you’re saying is that I have to crawl on the ground like the Allies when they asked for the Pershing to be put in

59

actually it has both. 50 round drums were standard issue for mg42 when they were used as LMG and 900 rof is mg42 with heavy bolt. also for your claim of 250 round belt, here is quote from wiki cause i am lazy:

Belts were supplied in a fixed length of 50 rounds, but could be linked up to make longer belts for sustained firing. Ammunition boxes contained 250 rounds in five 50-round belts. A 250-round Patronengurt 33 belt was also issued to machine guns installed in fixed emplacements such as bunkers. Patronenkasten 34 and Patronenkasten 41 ammunition boxes could hold up to 300 belted rounds and were used in more static non-highly mobile situations. The Patronenkasten could contain an Einführstück belt starter-segment

60

I know they used the 100 tape when they had to move constantly but they also did it with the 250 tape.

61

Yeah pretty much and don’t forget who gajin favors the most cause German bad allies good

62

But to be real with you I would ask for 100 round belt for Mg 45 as it would be ten times better then MG 42
