One thing is certain, I will be able to enjoy low to mid br stuff without trying hard to compete against higher tier equipment.
I wish I could do that and still go to berlin City maps, but we can’t have it all I guess.

Honestly, its stats are weirdly overinflated now. It’s a WW1 era automatic rifle for Arisaka cartridge with dubious reliability – it really shouldn’t have ever been as powerful as it is now.
Personally I wouldn’t mind it if it was nerfed to be an ~AVT competitor for Moscow era BR.
Well if we see more maps added down the line, MKB will appear more and more.
I just don’t see why we need it in Stalingrad after the Merge if it was never there.
Maybe we can dev said only that high-end BR equipment is restricted to end war map and this is a soft rule
Not gonna lie tho,
This would be amazing to play with. Even if worthless.
But since there is no picture of it fighting, it might mean thst was never there.
History is one thing but game balance is the other. You can’t make mkb-42 be higher BR otherwise Germans with Kiraly 39M, Kar98k, G41 and ZH-29 will have to go against Fedorov and AVT-40 so good luck with that, which would result in Axis players stopping playing due 30-40% WR and joining Soviet side to have fun, not only they have PPSh-41 but AVT-40, AVS-36 and Fedorov, even Soviet bolt (Winchester m1895) is superior to German bolties. But if you want new Pacific then go on implement that change (when are you going to complain about some vehicles that are not historically accurate like Jumbo on Normandy or PZ4 F2?)

technically speaking, I don’t even see a problem with not allowing the MKB on Stalingrad…
if Moscow and Stalingrad stay early BR campaigns, (like simple SMGs and bolt actions) then why not put MKBs closer to Berlin than to Stalingrad?
I just feel like an “in-between” campaign is missing period wise, like Kursk.

hey don’t put hate on the Kiraly, on of my favorite weapons and still pretty powerful.
Well. Because the game is arcade, with prototypes and more to come, and many anachronistic vehicles… mkb42h Stalingrad isn’t worse than jumbo Normandy.
I hope mkb42h will still be in Stalingrad. Because it’s fun here.

I have just now finally got the MKb in all my Stalingrad engineers and assaults. So I would like it to stay there.

I wish it had 50 rpm more.
So would be gold order 500
Mkb 550
Sniper mkb 550
Mp43 600
Stg and sniper stg 650

Yes it’s powerful especially at close range (it’s stronger than mkb42) but it can’t compete against AVT-40/AVS-36 and Fedorov at mid range where most encounters are in Moscow campaign.

Btw, I have not grinded all the Germans except Stalingrad. I should really grind Berlin and Normandy because I want Stg44, but I am going to spend the time until the campaign is abolition the time available for gaming to get as many MKb or Sniper MKb as possible in Stalingrad.
So, Do you think that if I have MKb, it will carry me to the advantage to develop Stg44?
Nah
Mkb42 have better sound

I assume / belive it will help, if, both guns are placed on same techtree

Imo Probably the stg unlock tree is like this
- KiralyM39(last smg)>mkb42h>mp43I>stg44
- Fg42II(scoped)[last sniper rifle]>mkb42h (scoped)>stg44 (scoped)

A lot of people do care about this. And yes, there is a difference between rare/experimental weapons being in the tech tree and in premium squads/ battle pass, simply because there’s a different between getting killed by such weapon every couple of battles and a couple of times per each battle.

Custom games.
I don’t see a problem alowing it either.
There are only 2 pics known of mkb that I never found if was used on Stalingrad or not, either way the first test of the mkb was in april 42, in leningrad, and siege of Stalingrad was in August 42.
There is more than a chance that the weapon was there.
One thing is certain… Who knows.
As for game content, 0 reasons not to, doesn’t make the game more or less a ww2 game. With, or without it.
If we can have it, why not? Isn’t stg44, it’s a 42 weapon on a 42 to 43 batlefield…
A ww2 item like jumbo, don’t break my ww2 “immersion”, or doesn’t make the game less ww2, but, if one voted to remove it, I would back it off. On the other hand a weapon made befor the batlefield even took place, and there isn’t public sources of nothing, stated it was or wasn’t used, I won’t have a issue with.
Atleast it existed, and was field tested or used.

Is the equipment used in this battle (given that the equipment already been created)or not really doesn’t matter in this game. It is hard to prove every weapon in each campaign was really used in that campaign. You need photo evidence or documents to prove it. It is not realistic to do it for every weapons.
The weapon was field tested in leningrad before the siege of Stalingrad. April 1942 acording to the webs and tuso source.
Stalingrad was after.
