My proposal for MG-42 nest fix

Suggestions
1

i’m talking only about MG-42 Nests as they are from begining of the battle, on some maps are on every corner and everyone is unsatisfied with them. Please don’t write in comments about other mgs as they are not the topic of this thread!

Please make it easy to destroy those with rifle butt, since back then I could only destroy it while being next to it but even I had to waste about 4 rounds. Now I have to use Detonation Packs which are pretty valuable on battlefield. Seeing all those MG-42s on D-Day and not being able to sneak up behing and destroy them takes whole fun from gameplay.

Make visible difference when such mg is destroyed, before they just hang in the air when were destroyed, please just make it jump like Maxims, MG-42s, M1914A4 so we could clearly state that MG nest is destroyed

Add magazines, These Mg-42s have magazines of 50 rounds however they can shoot unlimitly. This is absurd and needs to be fixed. It will stop whole spam of bullets with those Mgs.

I agree to the magazine suggestion, and possibly having to change barrels as that would be realistic on a fixed MG42 position and the real life MG42’s barrel could be changed far quicker than the time it takes for the barrel to cool down in the game. Maybe 50 rd drums is a little light, but 100 round boxes? Maybe someone could act as an assistant gunner and simulate ‘linking ammo belts’ to incentivize teammates? Coming from someone who plays as the axis in Normandy.

Nah, Belt you should have only if you build it by using engineer

The 50 rounds “magazine” is infact a belt inside of a container. The 50 round belts are only used for being mobile and it makes no sense to give them 50 rounds on a stationary gun

In my opinion, It completly makes sense as a way to nerf MG-42s and encourage people to build other mgs as these would be better
