The standard German machine-gun of the First World War, the MG08 was a water-cooled weapon employing the Maxim system of operation. The MG 08’s rate of fire depends on the lock assembly used and averages 500 rounds per minute for the Schloss 08 and 600 rounds per minute for the Schloss 16.
I could see the gun as a Battlepass reward, perhaps an event squad. Probably at BR IV-V.
German Maxim-Tokarev just dropped.
I could see this as a battle pass weapon, but definitely not in the tech tree.
I mean honestly, there were so many made, it would make sense as a tech tree addition. (And used in WW2 for that matter).
I assume this is the MG08/15, which still weighed 18kg.
Personally Id like to see it at BR4 with its 100rnd drums, at the cost of extreme movement and ADS penalties. Especially at “only” 450-500RPM, it wouldnt be a meta weapon except maybe when emplaced.
limited use by Volksstrum.
I need also Schwarzlose mg and also ZB as trophy weapon to Soviet Union
why not? It would be a very unique weapon in the tech tree because pretty much every german LMG in high br is all about excessive rate of fire
As compared to the other volksturm weapons in game?
Also seen it mentioned in more than just volksturm units, so thats not true, it was used a lot in reserve, rear guard and garrison forces, in particular in France/Normandy.
Image of a captured MG08 from Carentan for example.
We don’t need more copy paste stuff. If you want to use ZB, then play as Germany.
Zero politics! Just find the meme and your request equally impossible.
(Seriously guys, do NOT talk about politics)
We should all just chat and enjoy the game!
You mean, no VZ1928? no chech weapons? Zb ain’t german
No, we need good old mg, and something more then damn Madsen at br 2. Oh yes and Shoha. Zb will be fine
I’m just glad someone else remains here, who is able to meme.
(It feels so empty nowadays)
You mean memes about modern politics in mg topic?
Lot of them were officialy put into service by the Germans as MG-26(t)
Soviets never officialy adopted them

Kid, you don’t no nothing about Red Army weapons, why you try to say something about, I wonder?
Light machine guns were represented by 7.92 mm caliber systems: Browning M1918 of various variants, the Czech Zb-26 of the 1926 model, the Polish wz1928, which was a modification of the Browning M1918 light machine gun. By September 1, 1941, Czech Zb-26 machine guns were the most in service with all types of light machine guns (502 units), the least — Browning M1918 machine guns (13 units)

Also:
The 7.92 mm heavy machine guns were mostly Maxim Model 1908 (Mg-08) systems, of which 150 were issued to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All of them were assigned to the 32nd Army. The Colt-Browning Model 1895/1914 machine gun weighed 26.5 kg, had a length of 1175 mm, and a rate of fire of 450 rounds per minute. As of September 1, the Reserve Front’s armies also had 544 M1917 Browning heavy machine guns in various variations.
So, we need Zb, Mg-08 as well
From wht I can find, germany used at least 31,000 ZB26
Omg, the Soviets had 13 whole Brownings, lets add it to the TT guys 
An event option will be fine by me. A couple of Zb enough
