DF can easily do it look at the Soviet premium ones there’s no ammo going into that one and yet it counts for some reason and the Americans barely have 100 rounds hanging from their weapon and yet it’s 100 rounds for some magical reason

here we go once again…
maybe cause they didnt have normal belt feds for non stationary MG? they either had ammo in 50 rounds drums or in 300 rounds boxes. if the MG was used as LMG it used 50 rounds drum.
edit:
here is some reading material for lazy people:
The MG 34 could use non-disintegrating metallic-link belts, which have links that wrap around the cartridge case and are linked by a coiling wire on each side. The belts are intended for multiple reuse. Operation through the feed block is in one step by a feed arm housed in the feed cover. According to U.S. Ordnance Department tests, performed in 1942, the MG 34 was capable of lifting 75 rounds of belted ammunition during firing.[41] The feeding system was based on the direct push-through of the cartridge out of the link into the gun’s chamber. Accordingly, the link had to be of the half-open type to enable the motion of the bolt through the link. During World War II the Gurt 34/41-belt family was introduced. Gurt 34/41 belt links and wire spirals were made of thinner material — the Gurt 34 links were made of 0.7 mm (0.028 in) and Gurt 34/41 links of 0.5 mm (0.020 in) thick stamped steel sheet metal — that saved ⅓ of metal and counterintuitively yielded improved performance. Belts were supplied in a fixed length of 50 rounds, but could be linked up to make longer belts for sustained firing. Ammunition boxes contained 250 rounds in five 50-round belts. A 250-round Patronengurt 33 belt was also issued to machine guns installed in fixed emplacements such as bunkers. Patronenkasten 34 and Patronenkasten 41 ammunition boxes could hold up to 300 belted rounds. The Patronenkasten could contain an Einführstück belt starter-segment.[13][42][43]
The 50-round Gurttrommel assault drum designed to be clipped to the left side of the gun was an alternative feed option. It was not a true magazine but held a coiled 50-round belt and corresponding Einführstück starter-segment preventing it from snagging, twisting and getting stuck during mobile assaults. The Gurttrommel belt container was commonly used until the end of World War II, with the MG 34 and MG 42.[44]
The 75-round Patronentrommel 34 “double drum” magazine was the original pre-redesign feed method. This double drum or saddle magazine type was introduced on the MG 13, but the MG 13 magazine and Patronentrommel 34 were not interchangeable. After the MG 34 redesign, that enabled the MG 34 to use belted ammunition, the Patronentrommel 34 became a rare alternative feed option. The Patronentrommel 34 could be used only together with a Trommelhalter magazine holder that substituted the normal feed cover, thereby switching the gun from belt feeding to Patronentrommel 34 “double drum” magazine feeding. It contained 75 loose rounds in two spring-powered spirals twisting in opposite direction, feeding the chamber from opposite sides in turn. The Patronentrommel 34 was rather complicated and inconvenient to (re)load, adjust to work reliably, and in use.[12] It had to be loaded by a special Trommelfüller 34 drum filler machine. This drum filler machine could be stored and carried in a Patronenkasten 34 ammunition box. An MG 34 configured to use the 75-round magazine could not be returned to belt-feed mode without substituting the Trommelhalter magazine holder for the normal feed cover.[45] By the end of 1938 the Patronentrommel 34 and its accessories were officially withdrawn. This induced that Patronentrommel 34 use by infantry had ceased by 1941, with some mainly in the low level anti-aircraft role remaining in use on armoured vehicles. The MG 34 tended to fire at a somewhat higher cyclic rate when fed by a 75-round Patronentrommel 34 than when fed by a standard belt, due to the spring loading of the former.[46]
Sorry, I am just wondering when normality has stopped Darkflow from adding in stuff like a DP belt-fed, which from my reading, was adopted in 1946.
Rules for thee but not for me ig

Nop, Belt DP on game its based on DP 42, Belt prototype of DP28

A Belt prototype of DP28 was not accepted until it was correctly finished in 1946. My point still stands.
The german GPMG link can extended by multiplier of 50, so 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300… evidently used in modern MG3 too

You’re not allowed to make sense stop it otherwise the Soviets will actually have to learn what a kill zone is and not walk into it
The MkB/StG serie project started as soon as 1940, and yet got delayed till late 1943, does that make it a 1940 gun? I don’t think so dude

You mean you didn’t have disintegrating M1 belts? Cringe. Lol
They do? But why the hell you make a link with less than 50 bullets? Is not like the German use the cringe cloth belt the US has to begin with
