This is a suggestion to the devs to please increase the MG42 ammo for the premium Sd Kfz 25/1 from 50 to at least 100. Just 50 rounds for a MG42 with a 8 second reload that costs the price of $25 US just seems too low. There’s no reason why the MG42 shouldn’t be a belt fed on an APC with the capability to carry large reserves of ammunition. The allies premium LTV APC has four machineguns, two of which are HMG’s, that all have higher ammo capacity, this is not balanced. I have a suggestion to change the standard MG42 to the MG42 100 and decrease the reload to around 4 or 5s, or whatever the reload is for the tech tree MG42 100, either that or give it overheat just like all the other mounted machineguns in the game.

Yeah you’re totally right. Think about it. The BR3 Sd.Kfz had a belt-fed machine gun with 150 rounds. I really don’t get why the version that’s basically just a gun-only Sd.Kfz got nerfed down to a sad single drum magazine. What’s worse, its reload speed is even slower than a regular machine gunner’s. Even the Panzer II gets a 250-round ammo capacity. Why’s the BR2 Sd.Kfz hit with such harsh nerfs? It should at least have 100 to 150 belt-fed rounds plus a faster reload. It’s a full-on vehicle, yet they still stick it with a drum mag like it’s some budget setup.
