First give mg42 its real recoil because the game gives it way to much
It is firing a 7.92mm at 1200rpm the fuck you mean too much recoil, literally just crouch or lie down if theretoo much recoil
But it doesnt fire at 1200rpm in game, it instead fires at 900rpm

Some weapons have some excessive recoil, but you should not be able to shoulder and fire an MG42.
What are you talking about, it’s a machine gun firing a rifle round at over 1000 rpm, it’s going to have insane recoil when not mounted. Watch a video of someone firing one from the shoulder and you’ll see what I mean.
Also, if we’re being realistic, the MG42’s barrel should have to be changed periodically since it would literally melt if you didn’t.

Have you fired an Mg42 IRL form the shoulder ?

Not an MG42, the only German weapons I’ve fired are an StG and an MP40.

Pretty cool.
How were they?
Were they close to what we have in game?
They’re sexy weapons and pretty faithfully implemented imo. Firerate feels right for both, StGs recoil is a little low to what it really is but that’s a minor thing. MP40 has very low recoil which is correct in the game as well.
Little fun fact: the StG is actually mine, it was from my great uncle who was a German in the French Resistance, he captured it and kept it with him after the war ended. Eventually it was passed down to my family in the US, where it ended up with me. I’ve only fired it twice, it’s in good shape but I don’t want to take my chances.

The most interesting backstory piece from me was my great uncle was in the 442nd.

Go for broke, huh? That’s awesome! The story of the 442nd is my favorite of the war. It’s just awe-inspiring. Would be a sweet to have it in game, even if it’s a premium or event.

Even the “modern” MG3 does with you what it wants. You gotta lay all you mass into the weapon to fire precise bursts of usually 3 shots
