The Chauchat LMG was never used by the regular Soviet army, it was used by the German forces but NOT by the Soviets. It was used by the soviet partisans which are rebels and not real soldiers.
Germans used captured Chauchat’s from the Polish, Yugoslav and French troops
SO WHY NOT GIVE GERMANY SCHAUCHAT
Also, why are Germans getting better premium equipment again? Just make this game PVE where you can only play as axis.
Why do I hate chauchat
In history, Chauchat is probably the worst LMG of ww1, now remember this game is ww2!!!
With such disgrace of a gun, we have:
An obsolete weapon
A weak weapon
A weapon, that was hated in the war that happened 20 years before ww2…???
Also, please watch this video, it’s 2 minutes long:
Devs thank you for adding the worst weapon in the history of warfare to Enlisted
I remember the first time I used the Chauchat in Verdun. Map was argonne. The deploy-behind-cover bug was going strong. It was also the only time I ever used the Chauchat in any game. Never again.
I used to play Verdun in 2016~2019, I thought Chauchat is “OK” since it can hipfire but most other LMGs in that game can’t. But still, WTF in WW2 still Chauchat? I heard even french they replaced Chauchat soon after WW1.
Yes, first, chauchat is s lot weaker than MG30, second, chauchat dosent suit for the soviet in WW2.
BTW, hope this game can make it to other theater.
I used to think the title “Enlisted” will certainly not limit the game to WW2. But now, I am suspicious if this game can make that far.
The French did - but other nations kept using it - it was really only the French had problems with it - the Belgians apparently kept it right up to WW2
The post I was replying to was talking about hte general service life of the Chauchat.
I agree it is far more appropriate for hte Germans - the Russian Empire got 6100 of them but I can’t find any mention of them used beyond the civil war.
According to wiki Germany captured them from Belgium Yugoslavia, France, Greece and Poland.
"In addition to the obsolete rifles, the people’s milita also used “popular” sub and light machine guns, also referring to the period of the aforementioned war (WW1):
French Chauchat Mod.1915 British Lewis machine gun Mod. 1915 Danish Madsen light machine gun Mod. 1903 German Maxim machine gun Mod. 1908 French Hotchkiss machine gun Mod. 1914 American Colt-Browning heavy machine gun Mod. 1895/1914
Soviets were so desperate they had to employ WW1 guns stored in army warehouses near Moscow. So yes, Chauchats had been used. But, the fact that right now they’re outnumbering the mass-produced DP-27 is completely unjustified.
people’s milita and partisans are two different things.
and
just to clarify.
anyway, good morning.
well, i don’t particulary hate the chau chat, as it brings some variety. and i’m somewhat impressed that has been introduced for the premium squads though. not in a good way.
speaking of premium squads, i don’t exepect same weapons for both faction, but at least i expect weapons to do/cover somewhat the same role.
and what is wrong with uniforms? they looks like pijamas. but that’s another lovely discussion for another time.
anyway, yeah. i think the chau chat should be replaced, and gived for another campaign, or another premium squads more fitting. perhaps french resistance? french regulary military squads? or the above mentioned squads ( people’s millita perhaps )
planty of opportunities.
unfortunally, i’m not sure which could be the replacement.
because there werent many weapons that does fit an equivalent role.
yes, there are a few of them, but if we consider that those should be in the main line up insthead of premium squads. such as dp27. and i’m not a huge fan of ww1 weapons in the second world war either.
so insthead i was thinking to change the german weapon to fit the russian one.
and i was thinking to place: Kg m/40 automatic rifle - Wikipedia
but even there, it’s debatable.
but this is my opinion. for how much is worthed on those topics.
