Well every Soviet player knows that the machine guns of the Soviet BRV is just a bunch of rubbish, at least a lot more powerless than the German MG81 and MG42(100). So I think it’s time to get us something stronger.
Firstly, I think the ShKAS is a very proper choice. The Germans have aviation machine guns of MG81 which have a rate of fire up to 1600rpm, then it’s proper for our Soviet players to have our own aviation machine guns. The ShKAS have the rate of fire up to 1800rpm which only a little faster than MG81 and the PING will get rid of this, and the 7.62x54R is also full power rifle ammunition which equals to the MG81’s 7.92 ones.
So I think the ShKAS will be the best choice for new BRV Soviet machine gun.
Secondly, The Light version of DshK will also be OK, it’s truly used by the soldiers whatever in Ukraine or during the WWII. I have to say this wasn’t the best to have, But if this can appear like the US’s AN/M2 Stinger machine guns, then the Germans won’t be that mad.
Lastly, the details of this two weopons can be like this:
1.ShKAS: Damage:12.0
Rate of fire:1800rpm
Magazine:100~150rounds ammunition chain
Moving speed:50%
And the recoil force can be the same or a little stronger than MG81
2.Light DshK:Damage:15.0~20.0
Rate of fire: 400~500rpm
Magazine: 50rounds ammunition chain drum
Moving Speed:30~40%
The recoil force can be huge.
Well these are my opinions.I’m not good at English and I haven’t got a reliable translator.
But I hope this could get attention and be seriously considered.
lol. lmao, even
RD-44 is the best MG in the game
No one plays this because the firerate is just uncontrollable
Its technically better than MG81 by quite the margain, but the RoF is so increadibly insane that I doubt anyone would play it either lol
Thats just Type 100 without the shotgun dispersion and without the need to hit both bullets at the same time for the 24 DMG proc
Rating of the post: Lmao out of BRUH
You got RD-44
Already very better than M1919A6
You’ve obviously gone too far with DShK, but ShKAS is probably ill-suited for the role of the Soviet response to MG81
it has a very complex cartridge feed system from the tape, there is no version with a real stock, and its recoil will definitely be stronger than that of the MG81 and AN/M2 Stinger combined, especially horizontally (inside the mechanism there is a kind of drum that rotates when firing and feeds cartridges, creating an inertial force pushing the weapon To the side
in short, the Soviets may not need this kind of machine gun, let each faction have a machine gun with its own chip, the Germans have an MG81 with 100 rounds and a high rate of fire, the Americans have an AN/M2 Stinger with a high rate of fire and a large number of cartridges, but only in the form of a unique weapon, the Japanese have a double-barreled machine gun, and the Soviets have an RD-44 that rips the asses of everyone who believes in the Soviet bias
. Shkas. Dshk is 12mm only why mention it
But we have to face the MGs every time
And ussr has better smgs then Germany
I have to question you that have you ever played the Soviet BRV? If the truth is like what you have said, then what sweep out my 9-men squad in two seconds???
It is clear that no one in this forum is interested in this topic (they suck in German) according to them Germany is the weakest nation in the game, your proposals are interesting but I don’t think it will happen, but as I say it would be interesting to have an extra machine gun or two in BR V, honestly.

I’m really appreciate that there’s someone talk for me and the ussr

This sentence sounds more like a meme. Firstly, the DShK is very heavy, secondly it is a heavy machine gun, no faction has a heavy machine gun, and it should not.
It is better to offer a manual modification of the DS-39 instead of the DShK, especially since we already have it in the game, though on a motorcycle.
The offer is good. I have been looking for mentions of the use of SHKAS in infantry formations for a long time, but apart from one story of the circular defense of Soviet pilots shot down in Finland, I have not found it. However, the very direction of the topic is very correct - the Soviets have a critically low rate of fire MT and definitely need a normal machine gun for the fifth BR.
I also ask you not to overreact to negative criticism. You are absolutely right about the fact that the Soviet side currently lacks a normal machine gun in the fifth combat rating.
Machine gun SHKAS. Are you at least familiar with its operating principle of automation? For example, to cock the weapon - the bolt handle, which also acts as a butt of the “shovel”, must be cocked 10 times, since the weapon has a special drum with 10 slots. Just imagine how it will look in the game.
The most realistic option is to introduce the ShKAS machine gun in a tank configuration, since the drum in the design was abandoned and a magazine from the DT machine gun was introduced. The stated rate of fire, by the way, was 2000 rounds per minute.
I don’t even want to say anything about DShK…
I would like to point out that there are more adequate alternatives.
For example, the tank version of the DS 39, which was published above, but I don’t like it because of the raised sighting bar.
There is also an experimental aircraft machine gun KB P 65, at some point in its development it received a bipod and a tank butt (don’t ask me why), the rate of fire was 1300-1950 rounds per minute.
There is also the GVG machine gun, it was the closest to serial production, and its development took quite a long period of time. The rate of fire is 850-1050 rounds per minute.
In theory, there are some other options, but either their characteristics are unknown, or there are few photographs, so I will not talk about them here.
Yes I’m very agree with you. My words about ShKAS are mostly seriously considered. The parts about DShK are just my imagination(although this really appears in Ukraine NOW). I just don’t want ShKAS be considered as a unique event weopon and I believe no USSR players would like it to be a unique weopon.
I thought at first OP was referring to the engineer built MG. Which I think the Maxim just doesn’t cut it at high BR. And it’s only real life advantage of being able to fire uninterrupted by employing water cooling is completely negated by the silly overheating mechanic we have in game.
yes silly mechanic that prevents this from being the ww1 game everyone truly wants
