As a realistic thing, Mg emplacements would not reload themselfes and had no infinite ammo. It would be a decent balance for D-day map that would force the fire to be stopped for reload rather than only when it is overheated. I would suggest Mg42’s to have a 250 round ammo box that was normally used by german troops.
This is my sugestion and what im thinking, if you got any other opinion please be respectful while expanding it!
+1
This was suggested many times since CBT. It’s nice to remind devs that it is really good idea.
It is important that MG nest is still a placeholder: MG-42 for everyone, no matter in which nation or time; Something might come with the proper models, but those are only hopes for now. We will see what devs will do.
Not bad but i say make em belt fed so the relaods are less frequest and cause they kinda were tbh
That would be awesome
I don’t understand what’s the difference.
MG Nest is quite weak atm, and only takes 1 shot to take out. If any nerfs are made to MG Nest, they will need to be buffed in health and other things
ok i need to start reading the postsi just assumed he wanted mags
They also haven’t increased the rpm to 1200 on the mg42. Right now the mg42 fires only as fast as the mg34 in life. Plus the mg34 sounds terrible and fires too slow. Where’s the mg15?
Would be nice if they make them reloadable (more realism) but it’s still nerf so they should give something back, for example, making MG nests more durable against indirect explosions
Oh no no no. Durability of them is a terrible idea. Devs have tried it already.
I guess you can add reload and add option to change a barrel to shorten up overheat time. It should cancel out a bit so reloading won’t be straight up nerf of those MGs.
Also reminder:
If you add limited magazine, increasing rof becomes a nerf.
250 rounds isn’t a box anymore its a fuckin tombstone can 
regardless i agree lol
yea they need to make the MG’s more durable… they didn’t just fall apart from a pebble hitting them… a pretty serious calibre of bullet could hit an MG and it would still function… like i get it if a tank shoots you with a HE shell or you get a grenade in the MG then sure the it should break it but all other small arms shouldn’t do dick all to mounted MG’s
Might sound great on paper. But is an awful idea.
howso… they would still have their ridiculous overheating limit plus a new ammo limit that requires you to reload the actual MG itself… each MG could start with 1250 ammo, 5 reloads and then its empty and cant be used to shoot
an older idea i had for many different types of reloads by mechanized unit supply truck could be used to reload the MG’s Engineer rework and New Squad: Mechanized Light Vehicle Unit idea
the MG’s still will be destroy-able but you shouldn’t be able to just blindly spray with a fucking SMG and be able to take out MG’s but that’s what happens people aim for the general vicinity of the MG’s and spray an automatic gun a single bullet hits the MG and breaks it like the fucking thing was made of plastic and not that old unbreakable fisher price plastic, i mean that new age dollar store plastic…
It was made to be like that just a few hours after the MG nests were introduced in the game. The devs had very very good reasons to do so. I can’t imagine just how worse D-Day is going to get after a buff to health of MG nests.
explosions still exist… all it takes is a single HE shell to knock out an MG nest… i can see not too much changing other then the fact that you cant take out MG’s with a fucking 9mm bullet
the boxes on mg42 contain an ammobelt. The boxes are there to increase realiability. Belt fed MGs are very complicated compared to blowback, pisten or rollerdelayed guns since the feeding mechanism is much more complicated, so they were jamming a lot. Puting a box arond it, protects the ammo from dirt, so it jammes less. Even modern SAWs often have some kind of box or canvis bag to put the belts in.
I know.
I just wanted to draw attention of ANTI that he repeated what was in the original post.
Another realistic aproach could be that if you cook it off, it starts fireing uncontrolably and finaliy destroy itself.
