I don’t see why we shouldn’t have M1919A6 with 50 rounds belt. We already have 50 so it wouldn’t make much difference except giving US a nice weapon that they should have as it’s quite iconic.
Also, M1919A6 would be much more deadly than MG42. Without supression mechanic, MG42 is good only for making noise and consuming ammo. MG34 is better as it has lower rof and is more controlable, so M1919A6 would be even better with even less recoil and ammo consumption.
I made like 3 posts about it.
In short: let us take ammo crate as an tiem / weapon attachment. With it you will be able to change from default 50 rounds to 100 or even 200 rounds belts during the battle. Downside is that you won’t be able to shoot at all unless bipoded.
Actually locking longer belts to the MG squad would be nice but I have different plans (not that they matter), mainly introducing GPMGs. More here:
I really like this idea and i hope if devs go with belts that they do something like that, i just really dont want for infrantry to have another reason to hate trying to attack, they are already bombs, tanks with HE, mortarts, artillery, the last thing i would want is to have guys inside point with mgs up to 100 more in magazine
And as i said above if they do 50 belts i see no problem, just dont wanna this to be flanking on the egde of the map simulator for infrantry, like on some maps in red orchestra with mg42 and 250 belts
I like WW2 and having everyone with full auto machine guns and assault rifles kind kills the feeling of it, after all WW2 was mostly bolt action, semi auto and submachine guns and some machine guns.
Most MGs are taken out pretty quickly in this game like on the beaches of Normandy. With the Germans having 2 belt feds, literal assault rifles, the panther and FG42s for everyone i think the allies can atleast get a freaking 50 round belt fed
With that i agree i dont wanna it affect other campaings, like i said few posts above most nerfs came beacuse of Normandy, that one campaing affects this game more then 3 others combaine, like for example bombs for me where fine before nerf in moscow, stuka was slow so it wasnt getting new bombs fast, the visibility in moscow on most maps was also poor, and there were lots of forestes to hide in and building form bombs, then i saw normandy its Ju188 and i saw why nerf was needed, but i didnt felt that some of the nerfs that efected normandy should efect other campaings.
And since there is mg-34 in moscow that then would get belt, but there is no alternative for russian, what russian should do?
Suffer because normandy players wanted belts so machine guns that have belts have it now?
Devs often when they buff or nerf, they are going full way: all or nothing. Like HE buff that was supposed to be mostly for tanks with low calliber but eneded up being much better for everything else then those tank that supposed to be main focus. (Like mortars, artilllery, planes)
And weapons are already being shared between campaing for belts for mg-34 would be in moscow for example.
Normandy is very cancerous. Its like they just power creep test everything there. I havent played it for several months now and will continue to avoid it
You now do. The stg. While not a lmg, Bar technically ain’t a lmg either… “Browning assault rifle” it’s in the name. Bar might be better at support fire than the stg, but it’s history’s closest equivalent there is.
Yeah and thats why i dislike big changes like belts, especialy that they would end up in normandy, and they would affect other campaings, i really hope at some point they disbale that campaing or make its close for beta testers again for week or two and think really hard on how it should be redone from top to bottom.
This one campaing really destorys the joy of other campaings beacuse of changes that are made of it. And its “meta” already goes into moscow with t-50, mp-43 and other stuff, if they want to keep go that road then they should add atleast some way of matchmaking, no new player will want to play against guys that have way more expirence, and way way way better equipment.
Every change to majority to weapons like those belts for example should be just considerd in more way then just one campaing, 50 ammo belt would be fine if that would only be for guns that dont have other alternative or that they will balance belts somehow if not then another campaing will start to be cancerous.
It’s probably why I don’t like it so much. I could probably try it again now than plane bombs finally received a much needed nerf. Last time I tried, one douche was going back and forth nuking the field, and if his plane got taken down, quickly suicided to hop in again and resume the nuking. I was absolutely disgusted, even if we won in the end. It was just a spawn then explode fest…
I don’t know that much about germans in Normandy tbh, unlike in other theaters. I’m mostly sold to allies (for now) in this one (well, I was) just because: Rhino. I know I know it’s a campaign lvl 2 tank, but it’s the one I love the most . I’m not that interested in very big and slow tanks.
i’m more so referring to the 21cm rockets on the bf110 at level four, also can we please replace the damn m72 shot on the sherman and jumbo since they clearly had it as a balancing factor
Meh, I don’t need those snails, I can manage to shoot pz4 in the butt and succeed (after many, many shots and lots of circling) to take them down with tiny rhino. My Rhino is love, it’s the only vehicle I need.
