MG42 Model

As you all know, the German MG42s have stamped receivers, and the top should look like this.

However, the model of MG42s in-game looks like this and obviously incorrect.

Also, the barrel jacket has rounded corners, unlike the model in the game which has 90-degree sharp edges.

MG34 modeling is totally different from mg42, which is really nice and realistic. I wonder could you make a better model for the MG42s?

The only difference I can see is that the place where hinge is mounted is square and should be round.
If there is something else, please enlighten me.

Ya the top cover in the game seems like 2 pieces put together with rivet, but it should be one piece of stamped metal. Compare to mg34s model, the mg42 model is really rough, significant difference in modeling quality

Probably that’s how it was modeled. At least I would do that this way.

MG34 model is the newer one and MG42 model exists probably since the very beggining of the game development.

But still, if they can rework some of those models in game, that will be awesome

They have several minor details that are incorrect on guns in the game. These things only bother you if you’re an avid gun guy, most people don’t even recognize them. That said, I agree with you, but this is an issue for so few people, that I doubt they will do anything about it.

One of these minor details is the missing disassembly hole on the buttplate of the kar98k kriegsmodell in the Berlin campaign

This is how it looks like in game

And this is how it should

Tiny difference, but I noticed it immediately. In my opinion this does not take anything away from the game, but if they have some spare time it would be nice to see them fixed.
