I think there was a Belt fed version of BAR. We could give the Americans a BAR with 100 round.

Yes, yes, joke, but I didn’t believe you. Don’t translate Arrows
They already have overpowered RD-44 they don’t need new inferior MG.

The USSR has two machine guns, each with 100 rounds.
And I would choose the RD-44 over the MG 42 100 any day.

None have the same rate of fire.
I also don’t understand why some players here are complaining about “why nation XY has nothing”, instead of making some effort and creating a few own posts with suggestions

Why do all weapons always have to have exactly the same rate of fire?! The MG 42 100 has a higher rate of fire, but has significantly worse weapon handling than the RD-44
If you want a new MG / buff for Russian MGs, you can create a separate suggestion for it - players don’t always have to discuss it under other posts where someone makes a weapon suggestion for another nation

By this logic, Germany also has two MGs with 100-round magazines.
And about this, The note he left at the bottom of the thread was a bit sarcastic, which is why I wrote it.
Yes, and? Both are equal in that case. But the ZK423 isn’t a 100 round MG - it’s a 50 round MG.

Well, the discussion was about the need for something similar to the RD 44.
You’re right on that point. IMO, the AXIS are very well equipped with the MG 42 100.
I’d still gladly take the ZK423, but I’d rather go with the BR IV

Wouldn’t it make more sense to put it on BR IV, instead of BR V?
According to sources ROF was about 650.
Maybe give it 9,6 damage? And like the RD-44 good gun handling?
The perfect options for MG 42 100 counterparts for USA, USSR and Japan, respectively.

Well, I never had a problem with more weapons. I play almost all factions (Much less Japan). But I would like other factions to have a high variety like the Germans. So I would like to focus more on the other factions right now.
I would also love a Belt fed version of BAR
DF / Gaijin has enough of suggestions - they only need to work on them. But they still haven’t changed the AT guns which can be built by engineer. Japan still uses the german one on high BR ad russians still the US / UK one even after the community provided them good nation specific AT guns

That’s why they chose the snail logo for themselves, because they are slow like snails.

That’s literally the T23E2.
There were also a number of other versions:
This is DS-39. More specifically, its tank version. It can be fed with either a 250-round matrix ribbon or a 50-round metal ribbon. But there is nothing to prevent you from just taking two 50-round metal belts and combining them into a single 100-round belt. That’s the way to do it. The rate of fire of the DS-39 was different, or rather it had a rate of fire shifter, it could switch between “slow” firing mode - 600 rounds per minute and “fast” firing mode - 1200 rounds per minute. The slow mode was usually used against infantry, and the fast mode against aircraft, but again nothing prevented the “fast” firing rate mode from being used against infantry.
Moreover, we already have it in the game on a motorcycle, so to make a model of the infantry version will not be so difficult. This will be the Soviet MG-42-100
