Nope, didn’t serve and probably shouldn’t be in the game.

Although the RPD was ready for mass production during the final stages of World War II, it was adopted in 1948 and large scale delivery of the weapon did not begin until 1953.[1]

if i remember correctly, it was present during the alpha of berlin.
( i’ll tag @Shiivex since he might knows a bit more about it or can actually remember it better than me. my memories are a bit washed out )
this is the machine gun I wonna see

probably they will put it in as a premium/gold order weapon, or even an event weapon.

I’m thinking the Stinger is/should be a premium or gold order weapon for the Pacific if/when we get a pacific theater campaign. But, I’d like to see the 1919A6 in Normandy and Tunisia.

glad my good 'ol brain of mine still works for something 
damn, the king tiger (P) ( Porsche ), that was pure fun, (a bit less for the soviets though… )
Aight, but how many experimental weapons do we want in the game?
that sums it up.
i m to this day to find actual evidence of it used in ww2 . but its highly possible since their were units builted and tested. so i dont mind it ingame.

if they can balance them, all of them.
it would be hilarious to watch people run around with a cutdown M1919 that can fire at 1200-1300 Rpm that BAR carry handle isn’t just for show its so you can effectively fire it from the hip.
if they ever put it in, probably the dispersion would be so bad that it would be useless
sure. wanna give me a troop double barrel mg81 modification stock? i show you 3200 rpm.
mg81z to be precise

you’d see people shotgunning with it and you know it

If. And they can’t.
But, I’d be okay with them coming in on premium squads like they already have done. Or Gold orders.

Have you seen the state of SMGs right now?
You can’t consistently hit past 50m but people still use those things.
MG-tier damage with that dispersion would be an improvement.
Now, I feel that the recoil may be very different from that at the time, because during the Normandy CBT period, the recoil of BAR is also quite exaggerated, but now it can be said to be one of the most controllable machine guns with recoil.
That sound puts a smile on my face
oh for sure. most if not all guns felt diferent.
FG42 was a machinegun for gunner class in alpha, and had less recoil on auto if i remember correcly than now.
stg (if it comes as current mp43 in normandy) felt like had less recoil.
also, mg15 was the MG in alpha but we played with the 42 model. lol x) was a mess in recoil but a worth one,
