Use a different squad? Bring assaulters? You act like there aren’t different classes
you have one, it’s the FG-42… they just made it a ““rifle”” for some reason when in reality it was meant to be a machinegun for airborne units.

Then take SMG and don’t complain that weapon is bad if you use it not right.
MG34 is a great weapon and I can’t make any complain besides bipoding mechanics.
Full agree.
In comparason to the german MGs? If yes, it’s exactly how it should be.

I dont understand why you guys really compere mg34, or mg42 to any other machinguns in game really, machineguns like Bar for example were made with in mind concept of using then without bipod (you have wood beneth barrel for easier handling and protecting hand), while mg34 or mg42 was never really considerd that way, you couldnt handle recoil at all with how you would need to hold a gun, and here i mean that in this game the guy holds MG must be a conscript who had probobly 5min of training with it.
Who holds MG34 or MG42 by the barrel, it has no protecion like Bar for hands, you get your skin melted away with fire rate that it has the barrel litterly smokes
Darkflow is pretty generus with them since you dont need to do most thing that MG34 or 42 machine guners had to like changing barrels if you shot too much since that was really a big issue with fire rate like that
Normaly you could only hold MG by the bipod so theres no way, that this gun dosent spin out of control, probobly 6-7th shot would be starting to hit roof of a building.
MG is still perfectly accurate on distance it needs to be, its not a sniper rifle and a barrels do get damaged with fire rate like this
Darkflow just needs to fix bipod system so the people dont need to be force to go rambo with them and they should add option for semi auto firing on MG, they had it and with semi auto it was possible to control it without a need for bipod and fire more accuretly at longer ranges
Because they seem to think the Germans need to be better at literally everything and dont care about how imbalanced it would make the game as long as the one faction they play benefits.

Hmm Browining seems to be a bitch much some of its belts, plus that machine gun was often two men job, one fires, one holds belt to decrease jam chance (one person could do it but it impatcted handling and reaction time since you could use only one hand), I would go with the Lewis gun, its similar in portibality to MG series, it dosent have same fire rate but much bigger magazine should compesete that.
Give mg with a belt to americans would quickly make axis want one and that could escalate very quickly and having issue of constatly hearing brrrrrrrrrrrrrr from them, the only solution that i would see with giving belted mgs to anyone is making them exclusive to MG SQUAD only not just mg guys in other squads.
I mean AT rifles were a team weapon yet we just shoulder them like they weigh nothing. All machine guns were infact. If we get into “realism” then MANY things would change. I think we will see the 1919A6 at higher levels.
Almost all MGs were operated by at least 2 man crew but we don’t have them in game (yet, hopefully) so it’s not an argument.
It’s a nice pick tbh. Maybe it will make it into the game.
???
Germans already have belt fed MG34 and MG42. Just give 50 round belt for M1919A6 and nobody will complain, too much.
I know what you meant i just hope that they wont give accest to belt machine guns to every machine guner like they gave FG-42 to all riflemens, those were rare weapons and to see everybody with them is silly and killes WW2 feeling complety, i hope they either a just FG42 situation by giving limit of how many can of them be in a squad (for example 7 men squad can have 1-2 FGs only) or that they will give at some point M1941 Johnson to american though i would prefer limiting as to not make older weps obselete and never seen.

As far as i know M1919A6 didnt had magazine, thats why i dont like this option, but you can correct me wrong, i google “M1919A6 magazine” and found only belts.
I was hoping for a Pacific theater for both the Lewis and Johnson which both saw action there much more than Europe. We are also into the 30s for levels now so probably wont see anymore magazine fed LMGs
You can just let the belt hang out, it wont do anything bad if it isnt inside a magazine
Still dont need magazines on MGs to this day
I didn’t wrote that M1919A6 had a magazine, I wrote that MG34 and MG42 were belt fed.
So what’s your point?
Point is that low magazine is the only thing that keeps them from shereding people on battlefield, you could give americans M1919A6 with belt, lets go that way, lets say 100 to 150 rounds, imagaine what a guy with mg42 with same ammo belt could do, now imagine that every one in a squad has a guy with that gun and a belt since im preety sure most people take machine gunner to squads, would you like that?
Normany is already power creeping, 90% nerfs that came to game was purely normandy while other campaings were pretty much fine.
Also look from a presepective of a new guy to a game, what he gonna see for example i 3 months if they would add things like that, people runing with stg’s, fg’s, mg’s with belts etc while he has only bolt action rifle
People cry here on forum that theres not enough people, that there are bots everywhere, increasing power creep wont get you new faces in game, probobly quiet opposite, games like world of tanks for example see that, nobody who dosent have wallet ready want to play it in free version
And i dont want to see new people quitting cuz you either have to pay to have fun or just grind 70-80% of campaing in pain.
My point is im looking at this game long term, i want to see it succiding and going way to increase that power creep means that this game will probobly be out of people before full release
Not to mention adding more stuff dosent equel better game, older games like Red Orchestra 2 for example shows that, game didnt had that much and people to this day play it.
Lewis as you said would be perfect so why go above that, why making another problem before seeing how lewis would for example preferm if they added it.
And one last thing in my opinon people should encourge Devs to for now add less and focus more on gameplay improvemnt and fixing bugs, like AB-41 armor (bug) or bipods for mgs (gameplay improvment)
Dude just give the 1919 a 50 round belt lmao why does if have to be 100? The MG34s and 42s ALL USED BELTS. They simply give them the small 50 round belt in the “magazine” which was really just a belt carrier for balance purposes

If there is then sure as far as i saw there were only 100 and above, but if there is 50 thats cool with me, i just dont want being costantly suppresed while i just peek corner or window
Look a short belt! Balanced

Just shorten the belt! Use scissors! Its made of CLOTH
and the problem is not belts its just the ammo that they can shoot before reload, 50 is a perfect spoot while 100 would make them hell for infranty to deal with
You can say that to devs not to me, they like to keep things like magazines etc historical, and people didnt wanted fg’s-42 or mp-43 in moscow see where we are, i just want to give alternatives and wont make devs go with power creep beacuse well they can and reason “historical accurete”
