MG 39 Reload and Base Ammo Change

The recent news regarding the new event coming soon was very exciting, and as a player who enjoys playing both these nations the most, I was very eager to check out the stats of these soldiers and their firearms.

Upon discovery of the MG 39 stats, I was left destroyed. This LMG has a RoF of 1320 paired with a default reload speed of 5.4s, which will have players firing less and reloading more.

Another potential issue with the RoF of 1320 would be the base ammo count. If the ammo for the MG 39 is default 50/50, this LMG would be useless on release.

For my suggestion, the firearm should gain a slight decrease in reload time to 4.5s and a base ammo count of 50/100. This suggestion comes from a comparison with other battle rating IV light machine guns. The primary comparison is the MG 42 early.

Another battle rating IV LMG to compare would be the MG 45 with a RoF of 1650 and reload speed of 3.8s!

I hope this suggestion can be taken into consideration and that the MG 39 will not enter the battlefield of high tier with underwhelming stats! Thanks.

I donā€™t think the authorities will consider it, after all, they need to make some distinctions between ā€œfreely obtainableā€ and paid ones, and simply adding bonuses on profits is definitely not enough.

I do understand that they would not hurt their bottom line. However, I believe this distinction is too harsh and some changes should be implemented.

Very reasonable suggestion :pinched_fingers:. Far better than ā€œgive it 100 round beltā€ ones.

Those, should be a given in tech tree.

I seriously donā€™t want devs to say ā€œeh, no need to add those, axis already has one from an event!ā€

Very good suggestion.

Great reasoning why the slow reload and low ammo will be an big issue.
I think it would be more than reasonable for them to change it.

I hope they give him a 150-round belt and more being an event weapon

Personally I donā€™t like the idea because reload of MG45 is so fast it looks stupid and I would like to not see anything similar.
But I guess balanz is a bigger concern.

finnaly good mg39 topic on EU forum
