So just a completely realistic heavy bolt set up… 
Yeah its nuts honestly, current 990rpm 50rd MG42 empties in 3 seconds. This is doubled with a 100rd belt obv to 6 seconds of fire.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO NERF THIS TO A LOWER NUMBER??? Your removing a whole second+ of MG fire for almost ceritan wastage of bullets. This is almost a guaranteed Nerf of at least 20% for the weapon.
In almost no situation will 20 rounds/second over 16.5rps be worth the negative 20% useful ammo capacity.
German mains have a serious self-sabotage problem.

how many MG42s were used with the light bolt? can you tell? because I bet its like 90% for the infantry, while the heavy bolt was used for tanks
light bolt use in Mg 39 and Mg 42 early

Panthers a couple, tigers not many, but surprisingly first Tiger IIs were still used in Normandy.

No matter how many of those tanks were in the campaign, the Jumbo did not see combat and arrived long after the Campaign.
get back to topic
Of the MG42 or the tank?
zombiewarrior wow an apt name, good choice fits you
Suffer and cry better, The MG42 has to be with the corresponding Ammunition Rate and capacity
yes as a fixed/vehicle weapon it would have 250 mag and 1500 bpm so if you want to take it away from the infantry and say put it on an apc or a tank or make it a buildable for engineers thats the stats, but for a man portable infantry weapon that does not have to be set up in say a minute of game time 900 bpm 50-100 mag is the tops 
cause this would be mericas tt counter

Wow, they don’t like to accept the truth. They are 1200-1500, not 900.If production of the MG34/41 was not continued at a rate of It was for the MG42
and infantry only used 50 round magazines/belts when firing the mg42 standing from the hip or shoulder, what is youre point

Looking at the image, the PatronenKasten 34 and 41 boxes could carry 300 bullets of the 7.92 X57mm Mauser
Well you just gave another option so that I can carry a longer belt and now with 50 more bullets
sure when you add the m1919a6 300 round as well so go for it
the gun is not the issue its the tech tree exclusivity

If this means that I carry the MG42 with that ammunition capacity and the other factions with the maximum ammunition capacity they carry in their boxes, I accept it.
what do you think the number is for each faction us-ussr-japan-germany
