An iconic weapon like the MG42 with its 250-round magazine and 1500 fire rate should not be an Event weapon but a TT weapon.Why if that is done it is unfair to Germany why did I ask those people who like it Thompson and the PPSH41 with its high rate of fire and drum magazine will be eliminated From the TT and they are only Event weapons and the ones in TT only have the Box charger and A Rate of -450,-300 to those weapons in Rate of Fire It would be fun and fair for them, right? Or this? It only has to be applied to Germany, because I remind you that the Germans From Tier I-III they suffer against the PPSH41 with box magazine and the Thompson

1.8 damage difference in an SMG is massive, what are you talking about? That’s a very big difference.
and by the end of the war how many German divisions looked like that, 1 maybe three out of dozens, through most of the war all armies outside the us were armed chiefly with smg’;s and bolt action rifles
Need? Laser-ppsh is not enough?
600 rpm like all other assault rifles would be fair, but hey lets just escalate…
By the end of the war how many russian divisions got hundreds of AS44s and how many upcoming US divisions got the M1944? This comparison doesnt work.

Well now it turns out that if it benefits the Allies there is no problem but if it is for Germany there is a big problem
Another big problem that we Germans have had to deal with since the arrival in Normandy to Enlisted And it turns out that it is not something that has to be balanced because it is fair to the others.Let Germany suffer But theyHere they are also using the “argument” "Every nation has strengths and weaknesses"Where once again it only applies to Allies
So Germany cannot have enemy weapons in its TT. But the Allies and Soviets can.Don’t be at a disadvantage by not having weapons Competent, where that is not Germany’s fault
Sure? Because the information I’m saying is not a lie. It operates with that capacity of Ammunition and Rate of Fire Whether it is common is another thing, but the fact that he had surgery in WW2 is a given.
Most if not all Volksgrenadier divisions.
StG44 was extremely widespread among front line troops by the end of the war because of the massive losses Germany suffered, surely they could never have had deployed every logistics personel, mechanic, cook, artillery crew ect with assault rifles, but front line soldiers are only a fraction of that amount so half a million is actually significant.
The same way US could not have and did not equip the same logistics personel, mechanic, cook, artillery crew ect with M1 garands.

Germany should be the only faction that should have an assault rifle
the chain is related to this, if only germany gets AR;'s other changes have to be made
That’s quite interesting, besides the 1942 manual said 1600 RPM I posted above, there was another 1944 manual claimed that MG 42 fires in 1300-1500 RPM.

What am I looking at
Yep! not the first mess they made recently…
And it’s not even the Panzerfaust (which DID got captured and used in large numbers), no… it’s the rare panzerschreck… Which makes no sense…
As expected… they apparently can’t help it…
They could have gone for the 1200rpm version, but i suggest BR6 first…
Add the recent BP changes and the planned axing of the BP shop (the gold order system) and they definitely DON’T deserve any money atm…
With massive powercreep… Remember, we have a 76 sherman (not the jumbo) at the SAME BR as the super pershing and the Tiger II’s. Where’s BR6 to fix this broken/unbalanced mess???
(or any needed BR balancing updates? Like the one M1 Garand still at BR5?)

i havent seen any sources about its performance, so i wont be commenting on rof. on wiki rof is listed as 600-1200, so 900 seems reasonable, although i will wait to see other stats before commenting on its balance.
i am not ally main… i play all nations and will advocate for or against any weapon that i consider needs to be introduced, removed or nerfed. when i am against body armor people accuse me of being german main, when i am for introducing super pershing for KT people accuse me of being ally main…
never said that.
if you actually bothered to read any ww2 book you would have known that 1200rpm is iconic mg42 ROF which earned it its nickname as “hitler’s buzzsaw”. also those books also mention how mg42 is GPMG which could be used as LMG with bipod or MMG/HMG with tripod, stationary emplacements or mounted on vehicles. when used as LMG they would use 50 round belts unless they were entrenched when they would extend their belts. also they would change barrel every 150-200 rounds of continuous fire.
but hey you saw 1500 rounds on wiki and heard about 250 rounds ammo boxes so i guess that is enough to become “iconic”.

SS mod for this game is 
Thank you James, but what about the US T24 stats? I know it has a much lower fire rate than MG42, but I’m wondering if being chambered in .30-06 means it will have more per-shot hit power?
Nothing more, nothing less. Combined with the 100rd belt it would be a great new gun for the axis TT and surely make the nation unique again in relation to the machine guns.
I dont get it why DF is destroying the unique appearence of every nation by adding copy-paste guns, fantasy bullshit and tons of prototypes in the TTs. It was great when USSR was best at smg’s and semi rifles, axis had the advantage in machine guns and portable anti tank guns and US was best at air power. Good old days are gone. Now every one needs prototypes and fantasy equipment to catch up with every other nation. BS at its finest.
The MG42 is listed with 1200-1500rpm on wiki, so 1350rpm should be reasonable. Do you understand my point?

i agree. also they should have fixed stinger to have its actual box capacity of 100 rounds.

“depends on bolt”
DF: lets give it the worst bolt
I still cant see WHY this gun should have and still has ridiculous 990rpm.

Leave the 1200 for the MG34/41, the MG42 should be 1500
