Its stupid and not needed, a medic should be availiable in all squads and have access only to rifles.

A shame i wont be able to use my K98k with an engineer in stalingrad for now
Nah, I’d say Flamethrowers would fit the class better.
reasons why they should carry rifles and not a smg?
the same reason why rifleman should carry rifles and not smgs

Historical accuracy.
Maybe balance if you can have them in other squads (5xPPSh assault squad).
And the interesting image of having squads of medics zerg rushing points because PPSh goes brrr.

No reason to give more classes access to automatic guns. Also rifles need some love.

Here is a serious suggestion:
Have the MP43/1, Mkb35, Stg44, etc be classified in game as assault rifles.
Only allow assaulters to use assault rifles.
This would fix the concern of medics with stgs, and also fix the weird fact that pilots and tankers can have stgs.

Medic should have a self deffence weapon, not an assault weapon. Because you know, normally medics are meant to heal people rather than be a spearhead and storm the enemy positions.
[Insert a joke that it’s better to prevent than to heal here.]

What’s the difference between a self-defense weapon and an assault weapon?
Regardless, if you’re talking pistols, those are expensive for what they are. I don’t see a problem with smgs as long as they restrict the vitality and recoil perks from the medic. You’re not getting grenade/ammo pouches or a secondary weapon. Hell, for all we know they’ll even have fewer standard magazines issued.
I don’t see people going Rambo with the medic because they’ll be using a knife in a minute thirty and then defenseless. The thing is that wounded people are mostly up front where an smg is far more practical than a bolt-action or semi-auto rifle.
ngl i would love to have them in berlin with the vg1-5.
Oh yeah. Guess thats easier than giving Vg to riflemen etc.

Give them no smg, so we can run around with medic with FG42 II.
Wait. We have a scout?
scout is just a random rifleman.
Rifleman II got +5% run speed.
Medic with PPSh would end up just like radioman with AVT-40 or FG42 where ammo will run out very fast
Still a medic class will have 5 medics = 5 SMGs
