Squad paratroopers weapons Allies vs Axis

Don’t talk like that to Gastano! He’s the most famous and important user on the forum. Don’t you know?
If Gastano finds something he doesn’t like or agree with, he goes straight to the admin.

This is his territory, so you better mind your manners when speaking him from his pedestal :rofl:

Apparently the people who are commenting here didn’t even read the post to understand that I’m not comparing the FG with the standard machine gun of the paratrooper allies, but with the fact of going to get the machine gun in the drop and the sniper

For me it is also the best, nothing to complain

Umm. I didn’t comment on machine gun squads or snipers. I only commented on Paras and How much I like the FG-42 (might have been a slight tangent from your post, but then I was responding to Joe).

Personally I don’t see the point of picking up the MG except for when I run out of ammo with the FG-42 (would much rather just grab extra ammo for FG-42).

And I am one of those “guys” that like the mg-34 and FG-42 sniper and the Gewer. But the FG-42 is good in all situations, where those other weapons have weaknesses.

As Allies however, I do grab the machine gun package, because it has the BAR (which does the same job FG -42 does)

I guess what Im saying is, I think the German paras come better equipped. 100 round Thompson certainly has it moments, same as the Vickers, But you are reliant on the crate to cover your weaknesses. Germans drop ready to go for all situations without the crate.

If I could get ammo from the drop it would be great, I stopped using the squadron of engineers as soon as they put the MG34 in place of the MG42 that was being built, I insisted on having the squadron just to build the MG42 but the allies must have complained so much that the developers changed it and so I stopped using the squadron, its aim is horrible obstructing all left vision, and that just like the browning was so used in tank and even by soldiers of that class, so why not put the MG42 that was used on D-day… I may not even use the machine gun from the drop but just the fact that they put a weapon that would not be suitable is already a bit wrong in my opinion, the gewehr 43 is good yes but it is not hit kill at long range like the springfield delivered to the allies that’s why I mentioned the kar98 for being bolt-action with greater accuracy (the FG 42 II sniper is not accurate because it is semi-auto)

I would bet, that as far as buildable go, they will change based on BR sometime after the merge happens. Just needs some time

mg34s low BR, Mg 42 mid-high BR
single barrel AA guns low BR, Double barrels mid BR, Quad cannons High BR

at least that seems like a logical development.

The easel machine gun is quite equivalent.

It’s just a good machine gun, it’s not bad, it’s not OP

Snipers are useless in this game if you don’t have mkb 42 or stg 44

So you want an automatic rifle against springfield because springfield is better?

Axis gets panzerfaust that kills any allied tank, axis gets 34/42 mg, which is better than just a 1918 bar, not even a2 and even more so a6, but in the case of the British, a Lanchester. Axis gets high rate of fire sniper rifles rather than a springfield for playing rat. You get literally the best box. I suggested making boxes that players can collect for themselves, but I wonder how the developers will try to do this …


They can’t fix the bots that get stuck in attics and train cars…

No one complained about mg 42, everyone wanted their own machine gun model, it’s just that the developers decided to do everything their own way

maybe, But they have already made these things (quad cannons and mg42s) and have been in the game before.

They logically cannot make a delay before the start of the mission for the balance of people. Instead, they simply change the rate of capture and the number of unit points for the side that they think loses more often, even if it loses simply because no one plays for it half the time, like the Axis in Berlin or the Allies in Normandy.

No I hear you. Seems logical to me, and perhaps you

Im just careful not to call opposing it retarded

Id be dead long ago if I responded to my wifes logic that way :stuck_out_tongue:

Devs count as user?

Both shot from standing position at the same distance, MG-42 WITHOUT recoil perk, Vickers WITH recoil perk, did my best to control the MG on both.

Germany suffers

I don’t have access to a MG-34, but looking at the stat card it doesn’t look too worse than the 42, can anyone do the test?

Edit: i’m a dumbass i do have acces to a MG34, on the para squad


Hipfire standing


Shoulder fire standing

Both without recoil control perks and my first time ever using this gun…

Germany suffers

Mg34 is better than the 42 in any way is the best german gun until now

Axis LMG:s (All MG-variants) are so ridiculously good (at least when I play with them).

If you actually use your supply box it’s getting ridiculous:

FG 42 20/40 (+ 3 stupid nade launchers)
MG 34 50/150

Vs

Vickers 100/100
Lanchester 32/296

What do you prefer? LMAO

That’s all you need.

Even with the recoil perk, the Vickers is significantly more inaccurate. Anybody can see it now.

I don´t know whats wrong with your Vickers.

Wehraboo cut his screenshot hiding the actual weapon he used to do the test and is liked by other wehraboos.

Nice try, ain’t fooling no one that has used the gun.

What i like the most about science is that it is reproducible, i gave the parameters i used to do the test, anyone following the parameters will get the same results, but knowing wehraboo (to say the least) minds science ain’t the strong thing of you guys.
