But seriously, I know this is very minor thing but imo there is no harm in making the game look better at almost 0 cost even if it’s only for a few nerds like me.
Or I guess there is some harm I don’t see, judging by how many ppl oppose this lol
Why not? They already gave gloves and gasmask for ofenrohr users.

Are you sure about this one?
I just tested it on the shooting range and it seems to have identical angles.
Also for some reason it’s actually easier to mount. I guess it’s because the whole barrel does the collision check and not only the bipod?
this is mg 3 not mg42
By pure coincidence I’ve just learned that MG4’s bipod was mounted on a spring clip:
And judging by this picture:
MG39 also was supposed to have similar mechanism. (Small rod in the middle was probably for locking the bipod in the folded position like in the early bipod for 42.)
Of course I don’t know if 42’s bipod would fit it (probably not) or if it was to be developed. But I think it’s interesting enough to share.
I’ll leave this one without comment, lol.

Still.
Just like LMG without bipod isn’t LMG.
Yeah, whatever.
Is this your religion? Because all I see is false dogma.

What dogma? If something can’t fill a role of LMG, it’s not LMG.
(Enc. Britannica. Not ideal source but from what I know it’s generally considered to be quite good.)
In this case I guess it could be classified as automatic rifle? Though I’m not sure. Also it would be quite bad at this job.
If anything everybody else follows some weird dogma of “the Holy Image of MG39 shows it without a bipod (but also a clear mounting spot for it, who cares) so we should ignore it’s real life applications and implement it’s model 1:1”.
I didn’t know MG39 is modern machine gun.

It serves (more or less) the same role as modern light machine guns so I’d say the definition still applies. Because you know, it’s basically the same gun (/weapon system/combat role) but old.
Quite bad argument tbh.
Edit:
Also it looks like MG42 is a modern machine gun:
https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/ausruestung-technik-bundeswehr/ausruestung-bewaffnung/mg3
I guess that a competing design (MG39) would be somewhat similar to it when it comes to usage and it’s combat role.
But who cares, right?
well, if i managed to “add” a bipod to a dp 27:
or rather, unfold
how… hard can it be for officials to do the same?
( well, it would look like as if it’s unfolded, but in reality i just hided the folded bipod part from the base dp27, and added the DPM animchar with the actual unfolded bipod and hide all the parts that i wouldn’t need, to then alling the bipod position )

Apparently devs’ workflow is much different from what you guys (moders) do with files.
I remember somebody fixed G41 (?) reload animation with just one line of code while it took DF like a year?
So yeah, “the milling stones of bureaucracy grind slowly” as they say here (actually nobody uses this proverb nowdays but I like it). Or devs are lazy / don’t care. One of two.
It’s just MG. Not LMG not MMG not HMG.
It’s german thing, not murican. There is no really need in using murican classification for it.
Bipods it’s just supportive acsessuar for mg, it’s not part of mechanic like tracks.
They added DPM where it’s open…
They just need to add animation for bipods. It will be best variant. (But it will take next decade)
You really want the answer?
