I’m sure some people will disagree with me, but the Johnson LMG in my opinion isn’t BR IV worthy. Low magazine capacity and fast fire rate doesn’t go well together. Most other nations already have MG’s with bigger magazine capacity even on lower BR’s. I know the Allies IRL didn’t have many options, so I’m curious, what would you suggest? I was thinking of the Lewis Gun with the 97 round magazine.

There was 40 round mags for m1918 bar

Could be something. But like with the Thompsons, we have so many BAR variants already. LOL
BAR 40 rounds, as has been suggested many times
If I’m not mistaken, the Browning M1919 could use 50-round belt so is another option.

I think the first image is a BAR with a 30 round mag from a modern reimagination of the weapon, the H-CAR.

I don’t think they’d make any of these TT, but I’m not sure. The Marines on the Pacific for sure modified their guns, hence the Stinger, for example. but that’s not TT, but an event gun and since they’re EXTREMELY stingy when it comes to event guns, I’d rather like something TT. Though a 40 round BAR as an event gun would SLAP.
Easy, Lewis with 97 rounds.
Addition/Edit: Vickers K with 60 rounds

Never heard of this gun before, to be fair!
to be fair it was a prototype,
also to be fair most mgs over 50 rounds were used with bipods or tripods
the stinger being one of the freak exceptions even that was only a 100 rounds and hip fired
so br4 and 5 mgs are kind of broken already

As long as you’re not offensive or being a prick, then it’s all good.

Yeah, and that’s why everyone thinks SF rifles are weak.
Even your first point is straight up nonsense. Your personal preference ≠ factual state of things…
It’s okay to want more variety in allied BR4 MGs. But the bitching about Johnson LMG is totally unjustified.

What’s a machine gun’s role? It’s to be able to put down a high volume of sustained suppressing fire. The Johnson LMG has a fire rate of 990 RPM with a 20 round mag, meaning you’ll empty your magazine in about 1.20 seconds. Even though it has a faster reload speed than a belt-fed machine gun or a machine gun with a higher magazine capacity, you still have to stop firing, reload, reacquire your target and fire again.
Compare what Germany has on BR IV:
MG 42 - 50 rounds - 990 RPM
MG 34 Patronentrommel - 75 rounds - 880 RPM
BR V, which you could be uptiered to:
MG 15 - 75 rounds - 1320 RPM
MG 42 (100) - 100 rounds - 990 RPM
MG 81 - 100 rounds - 1760 RPM
Japan BR IV:
Te-4 MG - 69 rounds - 880 RPM
BR V:
Type 100 MG - 50x2 rounds - 1100 RPM
They have actual machine guns, meanwhile the Johnson is at max comparable to an FG 42, but while the FG is avaliable for any Rifleman, the Johnson is limited to Machine Gunners. It’s why I don’t understand why you’re bringing up select fire rifles, which are that, rifles, can be carried by a lot more soldiers in a squad than machine guns, a.k.a.: provides more firepower.
The buff of the Johnson LMG is scheduled for the next balance patch.
Maybe it will adjust the recoil and reload time. (The problem with this gun is these two things.)
Honestly, the firepower is very good, and the movespeed penalty is -25%, which is good for general use.
I think we will have to see how it changes in the next balance patch.
Totally ridiculous statement. I guess in that case more than 50% of MGs in Enlisted are not good at being MGs.
I would personally pick Johnson LMG over MG42 and MG34 (75) literally everytime xD
The weapon is fitting my playstyle so much better.
Just because you don’t understand the weapon and don’t know how to play it properly, it doesn’t mean its underpowered.
