Bad balance of weapons now?

What do you think of the new MG mechanic? I’m a bit disappointed. In general I think the idea is good to make MGs more usable as support weapon. But the mechanic for the bipod ist still not very good and MGs are now very debuffed. So this generates a unbalance to the soviet SMG wich are still very powerful. I think the A-symetric is brocken here.

its only in stalingrad
in other campaings you can shoot a mg34 like rambo

Yesterday I managed to pick up DP-27. I didn’t realise it’s draining stamina untill I reminded myself about this mechanic.

I know this, but do you want so say something more? About the balance or how do you like the new mechanic?

The mechanic is fine, but it’s draining way too much stamina.
In my opinion it should be stamina helps stabilize the shots ADS while standing with a LMG and no stamina causes sway just like breathing

Already in the game for all weapons, the gun sways more when you have lower stamina.

Since I use 100% stamina + health pack boost for most classes I dont feel it that much

This is a great way I would go too. But to became the +100% stamina perk is not easy. Without it is really hard. Crossing a street in sprint gives you then 2 second to shoot before he takes down the MG. With the higher recoil, it is a big debuff in my opinion and could be softer down to 50% of the actual stamina lose.

What about the unlimited RPM ZH29?

Personally I like the new mechanic. They aren’t big SMGs anymore which is a good change. I believe there is room for adjustments but I think it’s also just people getting used to how MGs need to be used.

If you want to fire them standing then it should be treated as like a semi auto rifle where you need to fire small bursts. I personally go prone because you don’t lose stamina even if you don’t use a bipod.
