idk; I think a ww1 mg would honestly be more balanced; fitting in with the Maxim Tokarev, 1919A6, (field mod japanese Type 98’s with stocks)… big heavy cumbersome. I’ve recommended the MG 15nA (Bergman), not to be confused with the other MG15 lol.

either way has no business until the allies and japanese get their lewis guns. (the japanese need theirs as balance with the allies getting them… it’s a twofer)

Literally nobody is using tokarev over RD-44.

Again, how many people have you seen with A6?

There’s just no reason to add some no name MG over the most iconic MG of the ww2.
This ww1 MG should be GO.

you already have it though, it uses 50 round belts.

I run A6’s;

and the MG15nA is hardly “no name”, it’s an incredibly influential gun, frankly fitting in quite well with the Berlin campaign as it was used by Volksturm.

I wouldn’t object if its recoil was as unpredictable as Maxim Tokarev’s

i am sorry but with a hundred round drum this would at the minimal need to be fired while prone
unless you give the gunner a chance to throw out there back
make them twice as big thus twice as easy to hit
give it a smaller bullet to reduce weight
if water cooled make the above suggestions even worse

well i am using it as replacement SF :stuck_out_tongue: although idk what my squads will look after t20…

The MG 08/18 was developed at the very end of World War One as a lighter alternative to the MG 08/15. It used an air-cooled barrel, and between not needing water and having lighter parts it managed to be about 6 pounds less weight than the 08/15.

The final weight for the refined LMG 08/15 is 26 lbs, compared with 57 lbs for the original iteration of the MG 082.

Ammunition boxes (weighing 22 pounds each) held five separate belts totaling 250 rounds per box.

so if you want more than one drum

that is at least 42 pounds

sorry showed thE mg-08/15 not the MG08/18 ONLY DIFFERENCE IS WATER COOLED VS AIR COOLED

Weight hardly is a problem of anykind.
Already have japanese running around with AT rifle ~50kg ?

And if we go slightly further we have engineers running around with 10 czech hedhehogs, couple AA guns and AT gun neatly packed in backpack.

This is not true, they use their hammer to create new atoms, which they then use to make, for example, cannons via chemical-physical processes.
