Ok then, go ahead, sprint around with a hefty MG42 and accurately sprint fire at a bunch of targets in an inclosed space.
Infact… this just made me realize, why don’t we give every solder an MG and have them sprint around a bunch and accurately fire for room clearing. I mean why wouldn’t it work.
I guess adding more recoil to the mg42 could make sense, considering how front heavy this thing was, also increasing its rate of fire to realistic lvls would help the gun to be more powerful, yet less controllable and more of a ammo waste.
When it comes to the mg34, maybe a reduced rate of fire could work, since there were also versions of the gun with a lower rate of fire.
however, if im not mistaken the MG class cant have the 35 bonus HP perk, while assaulters II can have that perk… so if you compare SMGs with MGs you should probably keep that in mind.
kek yes i always use mg34 to demolish enemys in house cuz it can hit them true the wall, funny thing
Anyone trying to use an MG in an authentic manner will be brown bread long before they ever have a chance to do anything useful. We would need to change all of the maps, and tone down the speed of the gameplay.
GPMGs work fine on Moscow maps, using them in cqb there is just a waste of resource. But on Normandy I understood why people complain about MGs in cqb, the map design is such that it’s rather difficult to find any good spots for mg, so people just storm points with them.
I’m rather disappointed with Normandy and new map for Moscow, there are too much BF like, too much clutter on the map, providing a lot of cover. There is no need in relying on tanks to cover crossing of the open area, or using smoke. You can just jog behind the cover all the way to objective.
accurate hipfire in close range with something that has that firerate is pretty realistic, the use of the mg42/34 in offensive tactics was both in the manual of of the germans and it’s still used to this day in the mg 3 in offensive roles
nah all you have to do is to find a good spt and bring hell on an enmy offensive
Have you ever actually carried and shot with an MG? I haven’t used the WW2 variants but the MG3 which is something close to the MG42 and those things would not perform well trying to hipfire and clear rooms with.
Speaking of balance, not a big fan of the Normandy campaign for something completely different than MGs. The FG42 and the M2 carbine. It turns the game into another spray and pray, M2 should be limited to assaulters and FG42 to gunners.
That is another reason why you play Moscow, the best campaign.
I prefer Moscow due to the weapons, more bolt action and semi being high tier, auto being more restricted. I like variance though so I want to play Normandy now and then though the full auto weapons for every soldier almost makes me vomit thinking I’m playing CoD.
Not sure if joke, but here is a reference video of someone shooting an MG42. You have to stand still just to control the recoil. Unless 99.9% of soldiers are women midgets.
Wait till I get avs on my troops.
have you ever actually had exercise and again it was in the fiedl manual and you can see vids of them being used as light machine gunsyou can hipfireon move of course it’s not an ideal thing to clear out a room but this is a fucking game real stamina/adrenaline/movement don’t apply
If you honestly think it’s possible to run around a room and hip fire an LMG accurately you are either stupid or uneducated.
In the few scenarios where it’s a good idea to actually hip fire with an LMG there are a few requirements.
One you HAVE to plant yourself down otherwise you’ll get pushed over be the recoil and be unable to control it in the slightest.
Two it is only for SUPPRESSING FIRE, you CANNOT accurately burst at 5 different soldiers in 4 seconds.
Just because you are “strong” doesn’t mean you’ll be able to sprint fire while hip firing an LMG. Just ask a former German infantrymen and they’ll tell you the exact reasons why you cannot do this, and if it was this great why it would be an idiotic move to give everyone an MG.
“Accurately” in a general direction it’s called suppresive fire sped and in close quarters it essentially does not matter i’m not reading the rest seethe cope and dilate
Did you completely ignore the fact you yourself are not supposed to move while shooting it? Because that’s pretty huge factor.
