But if in some curst reason ability to reload semi auto by mags desabled why slow rate swith can not be fixed only on it?
I`m mot a big allie of unification sides - for me nowadays balance feels good, I just look for some new good gear and dont want stupid nerfs becouse of wild bunch here
I know Декард very few people understand us. What the forum will do without us they gonna die from boredom.
Okey, okey I know you are talking about, but for me - some crazy stuff going to happen in a game becouse 10-15 people constantly repeat it here. It start to be annoying tbh
Well they are bunch of hypocritical German fanboys asking for annoying stuff like source I mean who cares about it. Its obvious the rate of fire of MG-34 should be different.

Yeah, drop a link with zero context. Lets go into this, shall we…?
The RoF adjuster existed on very early MG 34 prototypes, but was quickly dispensed of in actual production of the weapon. It’s so rare in fact that I can’t even find a picture of the device in question.
Sufficed to say, Ian points to the location being here on the trigger guard, if an MG 34 had one (this one of course doesn’t):
incidentally, neither does the model of the MG 34 in game:
In other words, your source is near useless, because it’s describing features for a gun (MG 34 prototypes) that isn’t in the game, it’s not applicable information to the gun in game and likely still won’t be acceptable.
This is of course not mentioning the fact that the mechanism by which this adjustable RoF is achieved by is not even addressed by Ian in this video or associated article, nor what exact settings it would be capable of selecting to (and what rough RPMs each setting would have). This is not helpful either in your case.
Also leaving out that the method you want to lower the RoF of the MG 34 means… Adding a RoF selector which could make it shoot even higher (Ian mentions a mode for engaging air-targets, which requires greater than 900rpm)…? Great plan, sounds like a buff in my book, having not just two, but several selectable RoF options mid battle on the same gun.
Though, a “MG 34 Early” with RoF selector as a event reward would be interesting in the future, not going to lie. That would be a BR IV MG, with RoF settings for high (900, as that’s the top estimate, assuming no AA-mode) and low (600, I guess), maybe even a 3rd very-slow mode (ca 450), with of course semi-auto setting included on top.
A gun with a lot of extra (and redundant) features.

In that image, you can see two variants of the MG34 that have a higher rate of fire to surpass the conventional MG34 and be better suited to its doctrine. I even made a post about it.
I’ll say it again: Make a new post with sources that have that low rate of fire where you can request the weapon as an event item, and that’s it.But don’t ask for a rate of fire reduction it shouldn’t have. Even the MG42 doesn’t have the 1500 it’s supposed to have when in the game it has 990.

It cant be are you saying that the MG-34 rate of fire is not 650 ? 
I cant believe it… really…shocking …just shocking…

No guys I found a source that says it did have a fire rate of 650! It’s called my ass, took me a while to pull it out of there!

is your ass also responsible for the Stinger, MKB and scotti magazine size?
I sort of question if sources even matter anymore.

Yeah. It’s getting super sore from all of this info I’m gate keeping in there!

That’s right, both the MG34/41(1200) and MG34S(1400-1700) have a higher rate of fire to exceed the 900 rounds per minute that were no longer sufficient for the Germans.

Does this book actually mention variants of the MG34? Not the early MG45 or MG42? Then I think we could even introduce a new version of the MG39 as an event weapon. If the base rate of fire is different, that alone makes the weapon distinct from the original—it could essentially become a new Weapon 2.0.
Actually, Декард suggested nerfing the rate of fire, but they couldn’t really provide solid evidence for it. It’s like those who pushed for nerfing the SVT38—they knew it had two loading methods but kept emphasizing “balance” as the reason to weaken it. In that case, Soviet players could also argue that, in the name of balance, German machine guns should be adjusted to match the average rate of fire of slower-firing machine guns at the same Battle Rating.
Instead, forums should serve as a platform for monitoring game content and providing constructive feedback — excluding bug reports, which belong elsewhere. Now, everyone is just obsessing over this one weapon, turning the atmosphere toxic. Those of us who actually propose new firearms, better game modes, and meaningful improvements are few and far between.
What book is this? It looks quite interesting. I’d like to buy it as well to expand my knowledge of WWII weapons.
Gotta be a top 3 in a list of the worst suggestions I’ve ever seen
