cmon i paid 20€ for that MG only to see 50 rounds the soviets counterpart has 200 has 4x more!
And its a fair arguement, even the american LVT has more ammo the only thing thats worse is the japanese halftrack altough that thing has 3 MG’s and other upsides
But Belts were more common because the MG-42 had a firerate of 1200 irl (sadly not in game), so the 50 round box was empty in a few seconds so crews just used big belts straight from the ammo box to sustain the MG fire
The squad size is the same for all Premium APCs and only one squad can spawn at a time. There’s no difference between them other than the vehicle itself and weapon selection of each faction. The same also applies for TT APCs
It was technically possible to use a 250 rounds belt with an MG42 inside a Sd.Kfz 251/1, but with a loader assistant holding the belt to prevent it from twisting. The most common configuration was simply mounting the MG in the vehicle operated by a single gunner and loading it with a Gurttrommel 34 box (yes, box, it was not a drum), so the vehicle could provide support fire while the granadiers were fighting. The space was limited, so it wasn’t possible to mount a Patronenkasten box to use larger belts without an assistant.
Why? If you give it more cartridges, it will overheat; personally, I’m happy with how it looks right now. I was one of the first to buy it, and I remember what it used to be like — now it has the perfect appearance.
