I use the rhino all the time just because I find it fun to play… (when I do play Normandy)
In Moscow the veteran bt7 remains a favourite of many players, too…
As for unique weapons, I use the suomi smg every match when playing Germans (same as the sword wich is equippedto the same guy). I also remember you own 3 Shmeisser in Normandy, you MUST use them from time to time?
I mean, MG42s are awkward ones, as different bolt manufacturers meant different RPMs, some with heavier bolts only had up to 900 rounds, while lighter bolts could go upwards of 1500.
Usually split for the MGs intended use, but sometimes they got mixed about. Reenactment group I was in had a wartime ‘heavy’ bolt that was from an AA defence unit and its rpm was reportedly absurdly high, but it was supposed always connected to long belts so it didn’t really matter.
Not sure what it’s rpm is in game, but it’s probably not far out the realistic values
Overall, from what I know, MG42 was intended to have 1500 theoreticall rpm (in practise it turned out to be 1200) and other bolts for different rpms were “optional”.
Of course as you’ve said it’s ideal situation, in field it certainly looked different. Allthough I can’t imagine that whole Wehrmaht lost / destroyed / worn out / did whatever with all their standard MG42 bolts and they all decided to use heavy ones instead like it’s the case in Enlisted apparently.
From your description it sounds more like a light bolt.
900 rpm on hand held one. Stationary is probably similar, I don’t see why it would be different.
Mearly 75% of it’s true rof, pathetic.
Yes it would be basically a nerf. But it’s already inferior to MG34 in every aspect so at least make it historical.
Also recoil can be changed as it’s not technical char. and ammo consumption can be dealt with in the future with introduction of 100 - 300 round ammo belts.
I need to look into it more but right now I’ve seen that mg42 could only use a 50 drum or the 250 box so the encampment mg42 should have the 250 round while handheld should use 50 round
They had 50 rounds non-disintegrating metallic-link belts that could be likned together. So in theory you could have 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 etc. From what I have found “the most popular” ones were 50 and 250 but sometimes other lenghts are also mentioned.
(In theory you could have even 1000 rounds belt but it’s impracticall as you have to change barrel every 200-300 shots anyway.)
I made a sugestion about adding 250 round belts for hand healed MGs. In short they would cause you to not be able to run with them equiped, not be able to shoot if not bipoded and increased chance to malfunction (when we had them) when you moved with them for too long.
