German MG30 squad

Does it only come with 4 MG soldiers like on the description page?

Yes, 4 premium machinegunners and you can add your own engineer and anti tank soldier.

Thanks , I just wanted to make sure I could add an Engineer. They really need better descriptions.

Yeah that squad was pretty poor, but they added an at soldier and a pioneer later, which makes the squad very good for BR2.

I am glad I own that one - as a matter of fact, its the first squad I ever got, enabled me to play Moscow closed beta back in the days, though in hindsight I probably should have bought the MP41 squad instead considering it is much rarer and basically a legacy collectors squad.

…then again MP40 is pathetic in BR2, and MP41 is equally worthless.

I’m jealous of your mp41. It is an elegant piece…

… I only came a few weeks too late…

Actually I believe the MP40/1 is on sale for a limited time now.

So MG30 over MP40/1?

Dual mag is more of a hindrance than a real benefit. It’s implemented really poorly.

No, it’s a different one:

Mp41.

Not mp40/1

The mp41 squad came in CBT… which is why I don’t have it as I started playing a few weeks too late.

The mp40/1 came with Berlin release. Soviets had a very nice ppd40 DSZ (if you see that one, buy it without hesitation)

It’s on sale right now, as a matter of fact. What’s so good about it?

I bought it…the MG is good. 6 man squad…so fun to play at BR2…plus it’s an old Legacy Premium.

Nevermind wrong squad.

It’s a ppd40, with a bayonet and a special compensator.

If you thought ppd40 didn’t have recoil before, that one is a complete laser.

Not dual mag MP40, there is a early supporter MP40 that will never return to sale.

Its a Romanian version - a MP40 with wooden stock

This is how I decked mine out. This squad I like because I now have a complete custom match German Machine gun lineup, NTM I tried out the MG 30 before I bought it and I like it, especially at BR2.

I am buying fewer and fewer squads now days since I have a shit load of them and am wildly overstocked at certain BR levels. So, if Gaijin wants me to continue buying up squads, they need to unlock the weapons or I am just wasting my money on squads I can hardly use. If I could re-arm them, I could have complete squads at every BR level. Unfortunately, Gaijin is unable to see the big picture.

But how? It came with the Moscow CBT premium squad, no?

I’ll be honest, I don’t remember where I got it since it has been a few years. However, my guess is that it was offered as an event gun at some point. Maybe this one is different from the Squad, IDK, I don’t have the squad. This one is an R, maybe the other one wasn’t and is different.

NOTE: Upon a quick search, I see that the MP41 and the MP41r are different. :wink:, so I do not have the same as the squad.

Oh!
I understand the confusion now.

The mp41(r) (r for russian), a captured and rechambered event smg:

I realize now they have almost identical names…

Yeah, after I had posted I did a quick google search and saw they were different. I guess I could have done that first, but, I am not focused. :rofl:

It’s much better to be relaxed than too focused about this, so no biggie
