Now that Stinger’s mag really hold 200 rounds? Someone said the model in game is a 100 rounds magazine.
No, it’s not a modified aircraft MG. It was also used for ALL tanks as a ball turret and coaxial MG and was used at a pintle mount on a couple early tanks before we slapped the good ol M2 on the pintle of every single tank we ever built from the 40’s to today (minus those couple with the M3)
Not to mention that the M1919A4 was not only used in vehicles, but also as an MMG for the infantry! Mounted on jeeps, fortifications, tripods, and more! It wasn’t a “general purpose MMG,” it was an ALL PURPOSE MMG. We used that sucker for everything till the M2 got more of a spotlight and Browning’s old little brick got phased out around Vietnam
PPSh would be tier 1 for all I care as long as I can have the 75 round drum. Hell give Russia laser guns if it makes people stop memeing against Germany and actually be constructive for once.
Nobody in their right mind is only taking 100 rounds out for an MG-42. Idc what anyone says. If Hitler himself came back and said he ordered it on threat of death I’d tell him bullshit he’s fucking stupid and we can change it anyways for the game cause it’s a game. Two 75 round drums is just right. Enough to be able to get kills per reload back on par but not so much it breaks grinding for other things.
At this point I’m not even really comparing it to the other nations but just against common sense period when making a game. How is anyone so damn stupid in the drawing room that that’s what they came up with? It’s a game and we also have historical facts stating it was variable. Therefore we can do as we like with it and fix the numbers.
As it stands all it has going for it is high RoF with low recoil. Wow much amazingness there… like bro I can just grab an SMG for that since our battles are always within a couple hundred yards. Where are MGs actually viable in games (and irl too)? Oh I know it’s with AMMO COUNT. Any rifle can be an 8mm 1200rpm killing machine. Only MGs do it with high ammo counts. Can you see why it’s an issue now?
How do I suppress for my teammates when I have to reload after 4 seconds and I’m completely empty after 10? How am I supposed to make a tactical difference compared to an Assaulter squad when I have to put an ammo box down switching to my engineer every minute or so. Oh you see 4 American squad in one spot well you can kill 2 of them and then melee the rest. Oh boy I can’t wait to hop on and do that for a few hrs… fucking not
Not against free 400 round belt on mg42
I didn’t get political. I merely wanted to correct what I believed to be a mistaken term. Trust me, if I wanted to be political here I would’ve already done that
Nobody wants 400rd MG42.
It’s just an imaginary thing that players biased against axis use to scare little children
You can just put it around your neck and call it a day:
Or just get the box shaped belt mag just like COD Vanguard did with 250rd
Give this man a permaban. Zero tolerance for CoD Vanguard BS
Ngl its the German main’s wet dream of getting a 250rd box mag MG42. I expect some might wish for it after playing call of duty vanguard
I too want MG42 with 250rd belt. It’s too iconic to not add. Otherwise remove PPSh with 71rds etc.
But no BS fantasy boxes from CoD, no BS fantasy run and gun.
I want a machine gun, not some fantasy heavy AR straight from the first doom. Even damn BFV managed to do this right.
Excuse the crap outta me? What in the world just came out of your mouth? Nah. None of that Vanguard imaginary bull
An MG42 With a belt of 250 bullets and a rate of fire of 1800
100 round boxes - or 100 round loose belts should be the maximum and standard for BR5 MGs.
The Stinger uses a 100 round box that magically fits 200 rounds.
This should get fixed, and Germans should get their BR5 MG42 with its real rate of fire - done, problem solved.
