If there is then sure as far as i saw there were only 100 and above, but if there is 50 thats cool with me, i just dont want being costantly suppresed while i just peek corner or window
Look a short belt! Balanced
Just shorten the belt! Use scissors! Its made of CLOTH
and the problem is not belts its just the ammo that they can shoot before reload, 50 is a perfect spoot while 100 would make them hell for infranty to deal with
You can say that to devs not to me, they like to keep things like magazines etc historical, and people didnt wanted fg’s-42 or mp-43 in moscow see where we are, i just want to give alternatives and wont make devs go with power creep beacuse well they can and reason “historical accurete”
I don’t see why we shouldn’t have M1919A6 with 50 rounds belt. We already have 50 so it wouldn’t make much difference except giving US a nice weapon that they should have as it’s quite iconic.
Also, M1919A6 would be much more deadly than MG42. Without supression mechanic, MG42 is good only for making noise and consuming ammo. MG34 is better as it has lower rof and is more controlable, so M1919A6 would be even better with even less recoil and ammo consumption.
I made like 3 posts about it.
In short: let us take ammo crate as an tiem / weapon attachment. With it you will be able to change from default 50 rounds to 100 or even 200 rounds belts during the battle. Downside is that you won’t be able to shoot at all unless bipoded.
Actually locking longer belts to the MG squad would be nice but I have different plans (not that they matter), mainly introducing GPMGs. More here:
GIs make short starter belts to this day. The 1919 belt could be cut down to any size they wanted. It is completely historical
you already have one, it’s called fg42
The biggest pandora box in enlisted strikes back, again…
I really like this idea and i hope if devs go with belts that they do something like that, i just really dont want for infrantry to have another reason to hate trying to attack, they are already bombs, tanks with HE, mortarts, artillery, the last thing i would want is to have guys inside point with mgs up to 100 more in magazine
And as i said above if they do 50 belts i see no problem, just dont wanna this to be flanking on the egde of the map simulator for infrantry, like on some maps in red orchestra with mg42 and 250 belts
I like WW2 and having everyone with full auto machine guns and assault rifles kind kills the feeling of it, after all WW2 was mostly bolt action, semi auto and submachine guns and some machine guns.
Most MGs are taken out pretty quickly in this game like on the beaches of Normandy. With the Germans having 2 belt feds, literal assault rifles, the panther and FG42s for everyone i think the allies can atleast get a freaking 50 round belt fed
With that i agree i dont wanna it affect other campaings, like i said few posts above most nerfs came beacuse of Normandy, that one campaing affects this game more then 3 others combaine, like for example bombs for me where fine before nerf in moscow, stuka was slow so it wasnt getting new bombs fast, the visibility in moscow on most maps was also poor, and there were lots of forestes to hide in and building form bombs, then i saw normandy its Ju188 and i saw why nerf was needed, but i didnt felt that some of the nerfs that efected normandy should efect other campaings.
And since there is mg-34 in moscow that then would get belt, but there is no alternative for russian, what russian should do?
Suffer because normandy players wanted belts so machine guns that have belts have it now?
Devs often when they buff or nerf, they are going full way: all or nothing. Like HE buff that was supposed to be mostly for tanks with low calliber but eneded up being much better for everything else then those tank that supposed to be main focus. (Like mortars, artilllery, planes)
And weapons are already being shared between campaing for belts for mg-34 would be in moscow for example.
Normandy is very cancerous. Its like they just power creep test everything there. I havent played it for several months now and will continue to avoid it
You now do. The stg. While not a lmg, Bar technically ain’t a lmg either… “Browning assault rifle” it’s in the name. Bar might be better at support fire than the stg, but it’s history’s closest equivalent there is.
Yeah and thats why i dislike big changes like belts, especialy that they would end up in normandy, and they would affect other campaings, i really hope at some point they disbale that campaing or make its close for beta testers again for week or two and think really hard on how it should be redone from top to bottom.
This one campaing really destorys the joy of other campaings beacuse of changes that are made of it. And its “meta” already goes into moscow with t-50, mp-43 and other stuff, if they want to keep go that road then they should add atleast some way of matchmaking, no new player will want to play against guys that have way more expirence, and way way way better equipment.
Every change to majority to weapons like those belts for example should be just considerd in more way then just one campaing, 50 ammo belt would be fine if that would only be for guns that dont have other alternative or that they will balance belts somehow if not then another campaing will start to be cancerous.
you could also call the fg42 the BAR equalivent in both stats and type of weapon, both are automatic rifles is what i’m getting at
Oh yeah I actually forgot about that one
I mainly use it as a semi rifle, probably why.
and you only really play moscow where fg42 doesn’t exist
I play Berlin sometimes
And Tunisia. Normandy is the only theater I can’t get into… maybe eventually.
normandy is an interesting experience since it’s the one campaign that is truly hard to balance
