In conclusion, M2 Carbine cannot be the counterpart of FG 42.
.
Instead of M2 Carbine, Allies needs another weapon to counter the FG 42,
And M1941 Jhonson LMG would fit perfectly.

M1941 Johnson LMG

M1941 Johnson LMG was used both as Light support weapon, and as an Automatic rifle.
Just like FG 42, M1941 LMG was mostly used by Special forces, like Marine corps and Commandos.

also, she had a fire rate of 300(slow-fire mode) to 800RPM, which also can be seen on BAR.

She shoots .30-06 Rounds, which is the same round with M1 Garand,
it would have damage of 12(stock) ~ 14.4(Fully upgraded) in-game.

Really they just need to add a paratrooper soldier type and remove fg-42s from all other infantry. Fg-42s were reserved for paratroopers.

Agree. FG 42 was only made in Limited numbers, and only for FalschirmJaegers.

i guess it does make sense.

plus one from me.

although, as suggested multipletimes, the fg should be restricted to the PTs.

Or introduce concept of squad locked weapons that would allow introduction of rarer weapons or those belonging to The other nations than The “main” one in particular campaign. For example making British squads in Normandy with british equipment etc.

Yeah I like the divisions controlling loadouts
Would be a cool way of getting divisions like Italians, Romanians, Canadians, brits, anzacs and everyone in to campaign.

Just dont count FG42 as an “rifle” weapons that can be used widely as rifle.
This game has a very strict restriction at LMG stuffs. But FG42 is an exception.

Jumbo arrived europe at September 1944 as I remember.
Since Allied Assult at Normandy was at June 1944, Jumbo musnt be in Normandy.

Jumbo shelved for use in later campaigns, lock paratrooper weapons to exclusively paratroopers, shelve the M2 until LATE 1945 pacific.

Why not just make the FG 42 an lmg and make the m2 a radio/ mortarman only weapon?

I think both the FG-42 and Johnson LMG could be added as special weapons for the radioman class, because they don’t currently get anything special. Adding them for a para class would be better, but they wouldn’t really be that special, so moving/adding them for the radiomen only could be one solution that could work

In real life, the fg42 was the german equivalent of the BAR.

plz stop, we dont need a RED vs BLUE game. The Enfield is also better than the Kar98, and the Springfield sniper are better than the Kar98 sniper. the M5A1 is also much better than the Puma, it have a faster turret. Should we just get 2 armies with equal gear and different skins? it sounds CS-Go to me.

yes, we allies need a counterpart at fg42. m2 carbine is worse than fg42.

Thats just stupid argument. Why dont just nerf all german top tier weapon damage by 50% so game isnt red vs blue? And let justify that cause all german pistols are better then nagant revolver…

It dosent matter if some low level skit is better if true game changer weapons are unbalanced
