Nice answer bro mauser seems 
good aniway neither the dev care about historical accuracy on normandy jumbo,m2,beretta1908
FG42 is not a lmg.
It stands for Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 (paratrooper rifle 42) it is considered a battle rifle.
Replace a weapon from player’s inventory is not a wise idea. It can cause great chaos…
Still need ideas on either: buff its counter part, or nerf itself.
I prefer boost its counterpart: AVS ammo to 15/30.
Its a fictional discussion
how is m2 better? please tell

first, you tell me why you think FG42 is better or on par compared to M2
it’s an automatic rifle, yes it has automatic fire just press H, that can 1 hit down and will have faster ROF when fully starred as well has having better vertical while m2 has slightly better horizontal
most of the time 1 hit isn’t enough so it need 2 hit to down enemy another shot to kill downed enemy, so 3 hit idk why tho it just happen. I use FG42 on Normandy a lot, in fact I use FG42 on all soldier beside gunner, assaulter, and trooper. this often happen
most of the time that full auto is useless because the high ROF + high recoil is just super bad combination making the full auto unusable even if you mounting or hip firing not to mention it’s small ammo count you can run out of ammo in 5 sec if you use full auto. so most of the time it only works as semi-auto like gewehr 43
meanwhile M2 is just like overpowered SMG, lot of ammo compared to FG42, perfect fire rate, higher damage than most actual SMG, and good hip fire perfect for CQC and luckily most Normandy map are CQC
Since I started playing/reading the forum the general consensus seems to be that the M2 is a hot pile of garbage and the FG42 is op. Now I dont say either of those 2 statements are 100% accurate but there is a reason that most people think along those lines.
- The M2 has a recoil that is hard to control, only way to effectively do it is hip fire it.
- The iron sight is horrible, esp when firing, due to the high recoil the iron sight gets blocked by the gun or wobbles to much around to be effective with anything other than single shot.
- Single shot you need double the hits compared to the FG42. FG42 most of the time one shots/downs targets.
- The FG42 does semi auto rifle dmg with double the magazine capacity of anything else in the campaign.
- The FG42 is good from long range, mid range and close range. M2 is good at close range only.
- As a main battle rifle the FG42 is a way way superior choice.
- Basicly the FG42 combines the 2 rifles of the US, the Garand and the M2 in one gun.
Personally I only use the M2 on the extras in my assault squads. All other guys use Garands because they have better mid/long range power and still have the same kill potential from close range. I think this should be the way to go for a campaign but allas the Germans have the FG42 in the game.
Not saying it is op, think the campaign feels pretty balanced atm.

you either take this pic while walking where the circle iron sight would wobble pretty much the same as FG42 or it’s simply a bug, go make a bug report tho it need weeks
for M2 and FG42 might be balanced
[out of topic, dont need to reply it, just saying] but the rest still arent especially the vehicles, german tank are super underpowered compared to US and the plane are bugged as hell and baretta M38 only have 40/80 ammo, that’s bad
Surprisingly, someone say the M2 is more powerful than the FG42.
And looking at screenshots of Iron Sight, they claim it’s just bug.
It’s like saying the Jumbo Sherman is weaker than the Panzer IV H.
I have both M2 and FG42.
I can tell you for sure that screenshot is what you see when you open fire with the M2 while ADS.
Also, I’d take FG42 over M2 any day for its versatility.
FG42 is a straight upgrade from Gw43.
M2 gives the option to equip any trooper with a low power, high recoil SMG instead of a rifle.

Well I would tell a person who says that one of 2 things, 1. You have no clue what you are talking about at all. Or 2. You are clearly trolling.
But the game became more inclusive to the fancy female-anime and “I’m female because I wish to be called so” people that at the end turned thing game into a boring rush fest.
