Because the players using the AVS are smart enough to just give them large ammo pouches from the get go
radio operators can’t carry backpacks or pouches lol

Well the Jumbo got a hard nerf with te true optics. Right now when you spawn the only thing you can see is the enemy spawn trough 27 buildings that you skipped. Makes long range tank sniping easier but really hard to do any cqb (which is 50% of the maps on Normandy)
Yeah I missed radio op because I just ignore that class entirely, my bad
I use them on my troopers here and there and just give them the large ammo pouch

Agree. Not a big problem if you have equipped everyone with large ammo pouch. But I still prefer FG42 II anyway.
The FG-42 definitely needs at least a mag or two back. I see that earlier rifles have even less ammo, like the Gewehr 43 with 30 rounds, but that’s a semi-auto rifle, the FG-42 has an auto mode, we should be able to use the auto for suppressive fire and just have fun with it. We already have guns of similar capability, like the Breda Mod. 30, BAR, MG 34, and MG 42, they all have similar hit power and much more ammo than the FG-42 currently. Having more ammo isn’t less realistic either, if that’s the issue, why wouldn’t someone be capable of carrying a few more magazines.

As a defender you have infinite Manpower, get over it you crybaby, i can’t wait for the Fg42 to be Engineer/Gunner locked.
Fallschirmjäger troops didn’t have 20 mags strapped to them when they dropped, additional ammunition was dropped in crates, so technically it is accurate to only carry 2-3 magazines.

Engineer/Gunner locked. Very good idea BTW. Maybe radio operator too, since he can carry two guns and that limited ammo capacity of FG42 can be compensated with another gun ( of cource not another FG42 
)
EDIT: But M2 need similar lock maybe just for more troops types.

Fox already kinda confirmed its a Bug on Reddit and was telling the Devs to fix it
Soviets has Respawn Timer of 10 on Moscow and Berlin, the same as Germany. Only US have the respawn timer bug and it does gives one side a massive advantage in Pushing/ Defending

amen
The FG42 doesn’t need a mag or two back, it’s competition is trooper weapons, e.g. bolt actions and semi-autos, not the LMGs gunners get. You want a gunner weapon, lock it to gunners only.
As is, comparing to other general infantry weapons in kill capacity aka the maximum number of kills from base carried ammo;
(pre-nerf) FG42 at 100 kill capacity
M2 at 45 kill capacity
(post-nerf) FG42 at 40 kill capacity
M1 Carbine at 37 kill capacity
Garand at 32 kill capacity
Gewehr at 30 kill capacity
Lee-Enfield at 30 kill capacity
All other bolt actions at 25 kill capacity
So no, you don’t need more magazines. The FG42 is already the best handling general infantry weapon in Normandy. Use it in semi-auto except for emergencies and you’ll be fine. Maybe main the Engineer squad and put down ammo crates as necessary if you must have more ammo, or bring an ammo backpack with you.

You mean C&B torture enthusiast.
Nerfs don’t affect me at all. Will still crush it because at the end of the day the bolt guns will never get nerfed and that’s all I need to down an entire squad.

Now there is no alternative. I used to be able to use up all my ammo from 100 rounds, and I could consider whether to take an ammo bag and not think about ammo at all, or take a backpack for first aid kits or grenades. Now there is only 1 choice, the grenade pouches can be thrown in the trash, as well as the medicine pouches.
Why give so little ammo for rifles. What FG, what G43, what Garand. Why should I run to the box after 5 frags?
Stop making delusional calculations without understanding the situation. FG is not a oneshot always (even at point-blank range in a limb will not be a oneshot), it takes 1-2 more rounds to finish off the enemy. Bots waste ammo. Instead of 40, I have 22-25 after my bot, this is nonsense, enough for 3-4 kills
Boo hoo
Fuck the FG-42 and fuck the M2

ok let’s put it this way, prenerf hell post nerf FG is more similar to the BAR than any other rifle so how would you feel about the BAR being able to have it’s 100 rounds per gun and being able to go on all troopers, radiomen, engies, ect.
The FG42 is in the same camp as the Gewehr 43 in that regard. So perhaps we should halve or third that for all the rifles there. The FG42 then stays in the same position compared to the rest. The damage is the same between them, the FG42 just has less recoil, a higher fire rate, and a larger magazine. Purely advantages over the Gewehr 43.

g43 opens at level 7, FG 42 at level 23. I’m tired of hearing these silly comparisons. They don’t have to be equal.
