FG42 is not a counterpart to Bar. The vertical recoil per second for FG42 is 587.5, and Bar is 380. After -40% veritcal recoil bar could be used like an assult rifle but FG42 cannot. And you still don’t answer me whether you have already tried using it.
It was an Automatic rifle and every infantry squad had access to them with various quantities and tactics. It wasn’t a LMG and that was the 30 caliber Brownings role.
It should be no more limited than anything else and it gets kinda blurry where those lines are. If freaking everyone is running around with FG42’s and Semi-Auto rifles as Germans… I see no reason why everyone can’t run around with BARS, Thompsons, and anything else for that matter.
Objectives and Maps…

Exactly, there where both automatic rifles and a specialist weapons. There is zero sense that an AT specialist would be given BAR or FG42.
There is a magical thing called “balancing” that in game industry means mainly changing stats of a particular item so it’s not useless nor OP.
And it can be done both to M2, FG or anything other that requires it.
And no, I didn’t play M2 nor FG. I don’t have to because I don’t want to nerf / buff them so their stats are irrelevant.

That’s why we want to have FG42 limited. So the lines between classes will not be so blurry.

Ohh, that sounds like all those games we have mentioned.
The thing is, I can find manuals that show BAR deployed and used as an LMG. LIke how it was used early in the war. But I can’t find manuals where everyone in the squad was given BAR or FG42. You clearly prefer later, so why bring any historical stuff into if you don’t care about it?
So you post this without trying any of them?(I assume it since you refuse to answer) I tried M2 carbine once, I picked it from the dead soldier and can be sure that it isn’t OP.
But everyone is fine with the G43? That’s not historic either… The MG42 was so used due to the fact the K98 was the standard weapon. As soon as you start making concessions, the whole game is in play.
I said especially - I meant that engineer MG should 100% be 30 caliber Browning. As far as I’m aware their option to be carried around were limited except M1919A6 version (but again, I’m not an expert)
But handheld version would not be a problem too, I’m completely fine with it being introduced.
why? there were grey areas in the military. u cant be gay and be in military but u can if u dont ask dont tell policy. every nation dabbles in the grey area at some point or another dude u gunna have to get over it
Want to remove or restrict something that you’ve never tried is an arrogance. You should know that.(That’s why I never talk about removing Jumbo)

Where?
Maybe. But I just want to get what I was promised. No more, no less.
u got what was promised u misunderstood. if u dont like it exit stage left
I have the M2 carbine, its only role is as a CQC weapon since its useless at range. For all intents and purposes its an SMG you give to every soldier

Exactly. And the greatest problem is that it has a extremly bad sight, preventing you from seeing anything you are shooting.
The 30 Browning had to be deployed outside of the A6 as you mentioned; however, it was the SQUAD LMG with each squad supposed to have one. The US didn’t have a multi-role gun like the MG34/42 the germans had. They had that role split between the BAR rifle and Browning 30 LMG.
I was actually just watching a video on the 30 yesterday that talked about rapid deployment.

and they u have cherry picked 1 or 2 things out and called not accurate last time i check 90 percent correct is pretty good and the last 10 percent fills gaps in the nations campaigns so get over it quit saying it not in line to be accurate it is!!!
Agreed. But its “role” both IRL and in game was to be used as more of a close quarters smg. It excelled at randomly spraying into the jungle during combat with the japanese. This is the complete opposite role of the rifleman class in game, which is that of precise shots taking out soldiers. Thats why I oppose the FG 42 and M2 Carbine being given to every soldier, both in game and in real life doctrine they were used for different roles than a standard “battle rifle”.

Whole Wehrmacht using FG is not a 10% of inacuracy, more like 90%.
