To those who have unlocked the MP43 and FG42

MP43 where its basically using an AR15 on modern shooters. The gun is controllable even at full auto and even more when fully upgraded. I do have one of my engineers use 7.92mm Kurz Gewehr 43 with the 3 round burst basically another assault rifle like weapon.

FG42 is a strong backup for the MP43s since not everyone can get a 7.92mm Kurz Gewehr 43. I did pick up an FG42 II a couple of times and its the same gun but with better iron sights.

You could have all 3 MP43 squads at once plus FG42, MG42 squads and a Panther but those lineups don’t automatically guarantee victory as you need teammates are competent enough to help you at the objectives. Feels dirty sometimes but the unpredictability of battles might as well have your best arsenal all the time.

MP43 and FG42 squads werent my top favorite though as I have more fun with my PPSh squads even when fighting against FG42 squads as Soviets in Berlin.

right but the rifleman part is what makes the FG42 II good

guys a fg42 topic withaut him what a shame @34357084

sniper FG42 II is already good as it is even with the scope on

Atleast comparing apples to oranges here, but in berlin 6 man fg42 II eng squads are far superior to assaulters with mp43s in normandy. all of them in full auto as ammo isn’t an issue

But. Again I state an assaulter cant have a Fg, and a trooper can’t have a mp43. So at the end of the day the squad will have both at any given time.

The MKb 42(H) has the 1.5× scope - the ZF-41 (Carcano Mod. 38 also has it for some reason). The MP 43/I doesn’t have it, but it says in its description that it can use that scope. It’s not implemented, but would be historical:

The scope is an exclusive of sniper otherwise you dont need them

Definitely, and I’m in no way advocating for adding the scoped version into the game. Firstly, judging by the dispersion of the MKb 42(H), the 4× scope would make it even worse then things like the sniper FG 42/II. And secondly, adding a scoped assault rifle to yet another campaign would piss off a lot of players.

Although adding the scoped MKb 42(H) wasn’t a good idea either - the ZF-41 scope wasn’t really a sniper scope, it was meant to be issued for the most accurate soldiers in every unit, not for snipers.

Im only pointed out wy the scope is not usable free by all soldier, but if i have the possibility of add battle scope (not a sniper one) on every rifle, it wouldn’t bother me

you like the FG42 II with the scope? I hate it… the dispersion feels terrible with it even at medium range. I just take the scope off and use it as a small assault team with awesome FG42 II’s

it holds the highest kills before death at 40 kills, 31 and 27 kills for me and i sit close to the point with the 40 kills life was done without going down. so yeah it’s good with the scope especially when fully starred

lul

isnt that a zf4, 4X scope? the mp43 one

they were actually issued to normal troopers to enhance fighting capabilities tho.

same for zf41’s scopes for k98k’s, g43’s , mkb’s.
but ingame yeah sure, only for snipers.
