Please stop this nerf everything craziness…if everything gets nerfed soon there will be nothing left to properly play with, only bolt-action rifles and pistols. And FG-42 was used in Normandy. Historical facts.

The forums never stop amazing me. One day the M2 is dogshit tier, the next it needs to be removed. Just big LULS all around.

not with stg but full squads with FG42,MG42 whitch were not used in mass like it is in game. FG42 rarely saw action compared to other guns and was used only by elite squads+fallschirmjagers + there were not 4 soldiers that carried mg42’s in the same squad
People forget that you can toggle firing mode too for longer ranged use
the m2 bullet drop off is way worse than fg42
Ultimately, while the M2 carbine is technically ahistorical for Normandy, there are accounts of full-auto one-off converted M1 carbines were in use by some US soldiers. Furthermore, having M1-M2 conversion rifles is on par with the M4A3E2 Jumbo in historical accuracy, as the official field conversion kit was in prototype stage for the landings, and was shipped in at least small numbers by the end of 1944.
With that said, however, my suggestion as to how to improve things, (as per; Suggestion for Normandy Campaign restructure and rebalance) the FG42 would make more sense as an assaulter class weapon, given that paratrooper divisions have been wrapped up as assaulter class squads in game, and it would offer a longer range, high recoil assaulter weapon - with the Johnson 1941 LMG as the allied equivalent. Alternatively, they could be truly end game weapons when we hit the 40 campaign level mark. The M2 carbine would then better be compared to the MP43 as an all-class automatic weapon, if such were intended. While also probably renaming the M2 carbine to M1-M2 carbine, making things a bit more historically accurate.

I forgot to mention that too! If the full-auto is messing up at mid-range and you can’t hit with short sprays and taps then you just pop the select fire and revert to using an M1 Carbine with better spread patterns the time it takes to kill someone.
People REALLY underestimate the select-fire feature on weapons in this game.
Technically the M1 Carbine was field modded to have full auto and used in Normandy. It would just be called “M1 Carbine Field Mod” (remember have the field modded grease gun in game too) and still only use 15 round mags.
7.62 is the same thing as .30…
I get the majority of my games as americans on the NA server when I have select all on.
Also, trying to argue that the M2 Carbine is overpowered is literally laughable. Its literally trash. Thats why all these “higher level Americans” as you’ve called them never use them.

well i’ll probably be the first 
because i’m very into the shit weapons which is why i have an infantry squad that’s full of m1 carbines and not garands
I used to run the m2, but now only run them on my smg squad so they can be masters at close quarters. But if you’re not shooting at someone thats within 10 meters the M1 Garand is much better.

Germany lost in normandy. Historical fact. So axis winrate should be 0% in that campaing, same for moscow… not sure but i bet axis also lost in berlin
its great close range but cant hit shit 30 yards away. idk i wouldn’t care if they took it out its not that great lol but i dont think its op. id blame the AI i mean they might of improved the AI but they stupid still standing around not shooting back lol
Its not true i made 50 kill for match and 10-15 kill is from ai so their are only dumb in evading fire,pathfinding and reaction time
yes yes they do
I personally don’t like the M2 cause it’s garbage so yeah take it out by all means.
my favorite part is when wehraboo start crying and pull out the big D: : there were no X thing on D-Day and the Normandy campaign !! 
devs reply is suck it , they will add everything there is from that period hahaha !

operation overlord ended at the end of august with some few battles going on after that too so some vehicles like jumbo makes sense 
If the M2 wasn’t available at the invasion of D day then it shouldn’t be available. The same should be for the German air force as it wasn’t really in the skies. The more advanced German tanks should also be available as they played a role. Hoe about the Allies Crocodile tanks , they landed on the beaches.
so: no M2, no German air force, include Panthers and Tigers, Crocodiles
Where will this end. I’m not critical of your suggestion but if realism is what you want then everything should be represented
i believe u but sometime i feel its luck majority of the time. i mean have u really felt like u can rely on them? i just hope they survive so i can switch if i get shot lol
A couple of time save my back so if darkflow is able to fix them become really interesting work with them and figth them
