This gun is op. I suggest increasing it’s rate of fire to 1200 rpm so it runs out of bullets faster.

Make a better suggestion. Bait is not appreciated, especially low quality bait.

It’s probably bait, but if not, I think the weapon unlocks at a level considered high and I think it’s a nice reward for putting in the effort to level up, but making its rate of fire too huge I think would make things worse.

i’ve used it in berlin, breda takes up my MG slots in normandy, and it’s ROF is perfect for the 50 round mags it has
I played in Normandy and I got the breda and in Berlin I have the MG42, in my opinion the breda is the worst machine gun but you get used to it and you start to shoot better, the problem with the breda is its scarce ammunition that can be wasted in 2-3 kills, the MG42 does not need to be reloaded due to its large magazine and the sight is comfortable (in my opinion) and its firing power plus its good damage makes it a good machine gun.
In my opinion: it’s fine as it is since it’s not easy to get its price, it’s not cheap at all, which would have to be something worthwhile for its price.

to be fair, it should have that rate of fire, which wouldnt nerf it nor buff it.
It would run out of bullets super fast yes, but super fast bursts on a bipod would be super fun.
Its a no brainer. Now that MGs are no OP anymore, there is truly no 1 who could say that mgs are OP in any way.

Make MG nest MG 42 have 1200 RPM, and give the American MG nest the M2 stinger, also with 1200 RPM. Also make the build time for MG nests .025 seconds, and make them completely indestructible. Also, give both MGs APHEFSDSHEATHECBC rounds with 12958852482323 LY of pen.
MAKE NORMANDY UNPLAYABLE AGIAN!

Knowing this could be bait, I suggest not spamming this kind of thread in Suggestion, it will make it harder for the mod to collect the one that is truly important.

It’s only partially bait. I thought making suggestion into bait with clickbait title will increase peoples’ interest. And judging by 145 views, it worked.
I really want this gun to have 1200 rpm. This is not bait part.

Yea I thought so as well,
ppl on this forum have been talking about how the 1200rpm on a MG42 would actually nerf it more than buff it, however I disagree.
If bipods get fixed, and become easy and fast to use, MG will become a useful and unique weapon in the game, which will also cause Snipers to become more useful as a counter to MG.
MG42 will have a super deadly fast burst, which needs constant reloading - which is a fair trade off and makes sense compared to the real world, since the MG 42 needed to be “worked on” constantly because of reloading and barrel change ( overheating ).
It just really fits.
I still think it will be a nerf. Extra rof gives almost no additional killing potential and causes you to run out of bullets faster.
With 820 rpm and 2 bullets to kill, TTK for MG42 is about 0,146s. More bullets will change nothing.

well so would a reduction to the fire rate of the PPSH be a buff then? Obviously not because the high fire rate makes sure that you hit your targets.
Now if you use your MG at mid range, and you see lots of enemy cross a road for example, these super insane bursts will kill them super fast, because at least some bullets will hit.
sure if you use the MG42 like any other regular weapon it will fail you even more, but I see potential as a support weapon.

For me it all comes down to the bipod mechanics, they need to be improved a lot.
Maybe even something like “laying down” automatically activates your bipod or something could be a start

The high ROF is almost a disadvantage tbh, efficiency with the MG42 is really poor because half of your rounds are inevitably wasted, a fully upgraded MG 34 is almost better IMO, even a fully upgraded MG42 has a lot of bullet spread.
