to compensate it’s low ROF and being the second choice out of German assault rifles, we can do these things to make it more competitive to MP 43/1 and STG 44
bullshit prototype gun like AS-44 get their bayonet so why MKb 42(H) don’t get their bayonet? after all the bayonet mount is already there it’s just a matter of 3d modelling the correct bayonet
give both mkb42 H and W a bayonet and lower them to br4
give the STG45 the strongest dispersion
Did the walther vaiant have bayonet irl? Im not sure myself
Yes it did
You can see the bayonet lug i circled it
You can see the bayonet lug on the in game model
The MKB-42(H) though had variants which didn’t have bayonet lug (In game model does have bayonet lug so it should get bayonet)
A picture of model without bayonet lug also notice that sights are a little higher than normal MKB-42(H)
Adding a bayonet to the MKB42 or the MP43 is a good asymmetrical balance idea making them a little more unique and giving people a reason to use them once they unlocked the STG44.
I think the AS44 for the Soviets and the T20 for the Americans have bayonets so it should not throw off anything too much in terms of balance. Its a small change but it would make the game a small amount better.
buffing it would still make it compete with stg on br5 and not bring more fun to players.
instead nerf it a bit (only a bit! its already weak enough) and place it on BR4.
NOW players can have fun and make choices: kiraly, zk, mkb or dualwielding? this is much more interesting than just having buffed mkb vs stg as the decision.
the most fun thing to do would be dual wielding MKB for long range & kiraly for short range.
Most pre-1943 German guns had bayonet lugs, and since Germany loved their standardization, they all used the same bayonet lugs, in this game’s case it’s the SG 84/98 III.
why do people not dare to put it into BR4 tho? its DPS is very low, and accuracy is worse than STG (rightfully so, its an open bolt gun)
so why not? Beretta being a laser beam close - medium damage medium DPS SMG, while MKB being a high damage low DPS mid range AR.
it has a bayonet lug you can literally look at the model in the game right now
mp43 does not have a bayonet lug, its just a worse STG44 with a physically incorrect reload animation
Looks at Japanese SMG
maybe because once DF put a proper AR in BR IV everyone will demand proper AR in BR IV
Well, if there are other weapons with comparable power, this should be considered, yes.
Already happened with recent event. 
Don’t tell him about it.
tried that one out - Its got more power than STG for sure, just lower magazine cap. what do you think?
Ok, give Federov bayonet as well then
What does it being open bolt have to do with it…? IRL it has some downsides if you’re not used to it but other than that, what?
→ Paddle mag release reload
→ no paddle mag release
I hate it so much
Single fire accuracy - as in the first shot after a trigger pull being not instantly
