You like rare weapons....?

What does the intermediate caliber thing have to do with anything?

It has everything to do with anything!
The '44 loses power, accuracy and arcs rapidly after 500ft because of it's small caliber. Scoped weapons of that time where generally designed for ranges in excess of that.

They fed the dogs under tanks which had their engines running and the dogs ran under German tanks to get food... Poor doggies It was also straining for the German panzer commanders to be looking out for dogs all the time

What are you talking about? They trained the dogs with their own tanks, resulting in the dogs going under russian tanks instead of the enemies tanks. The russians had to result to shooting the dogs. They did eventually train them on german tanks but scrapped the idea soon after.

 

[snakedude24]

Yeah, the doggies once routed an entire Russian division after they got loose.

Actually, I would like to see a scoped STG for later war maps. Maybe not the infrared version, but one like this:

Good idea, that gun in sniper or squad leader!

 

[LukeFF]

UPDATE: The STG 44 was never fielded in WW2. You are correct, I stand well informed now.

More Info

UPDATE: maybe, just possibly, you missed the word SCOPED in that sentence?

 

[snakedude24]

Mebbe.

Whats that one german mg that looked something like one of the older bren guns, the zb-20 or 28 I think it was? Wasn't the maxim mgs and gourinov(sp?) mgs a rare find on the battlefield as well?

Zb-28.
Maxims were commonly used by the Red Army.

 

[Seth_Soldier]

you mean zb30 (cz production for the german army, it is an improved version of zb26)
about themg ithink he's talking about tokarev mg (mainly send to spanish soldier)

ZB-30/MG-30(t) would make an excellent addition for the Germans imo. It wasn't some obscure gun either.

MG 30(t) is the german designation for the czechoslovakian ZB 1930 light machine gun. During the production of the ZB 1926 the weapon had been continously improved in different aspects, an intermediate model was called ZB 1927. This development eventually resulted in the improved ZB 1930 model, the most visible change being the relocation of the gas-pressure vent away from the muzzle to a position roughly halfway of the barrel. There was also an export version that was changed to be more tolerant to accept a wider range of ammunitions of differing manufacturing quality under the designation ZB 1930 J.
A major customer of this latter model was Yugoslavia with 15,500 weapons bought. Other major international customers of the ZB 1930 were Romania with 17,131 ( a later ally of germany on the eastern front in WW II) and turkey with 9,805 of these machine guns. It should also be noted that this weapon was the basis of the ZGB 1933 that became widely known as the british Bren light machine gun. Weapons of the type ZB 1926 or ZB 1930 also were sometimes called ZB-machineguns or Holek-machineguns after their inventor.
With the occupation of czechoslovakia in 1939 the germans captured 31,204 machine guns of the types ZB 1926 and ZB 1930, mostly the latter. From these, 1,500 were sold to Bulgaria. The ZB 1930 was integrated into german army service under the designation MG 30(t). Production of the weapon was continued under german occupation for the german forces: 10,430 were produced for the SS. In 1941 production was switched over to the german MG 34 and production of the MG 30(t) / ZB 1930 ceased.
The MG 30(t) had the same basic layout as its predecessor, the MG 26(t). Caliber was still 7.92mm Mauser. The range of the sights was increased to 2,000m. The weapon used straight or curved 20-round magazines. Other data: Length 117cm, barrel length 60cm, weight (empty) 9.65kg, rate of fire 600/min, V0 = 760 m/s.

I wonder what server you are playing on :S

 

[sergeant grimes]

yeah that would be vey cool

yeah that would be vey cool

i would love to see a map with some rare weapons

 

[fOgGy]

The only rare weapon I'd like to see on RO:O is of course the Mauser C96 'Broomhandle'. I'm still waiting for it

 

[Omecha]

Guys, aren't you forgetting something? You rant about german experimental weapons, but how about the precious balance!? Ruskies also need something special and i've got it here for you!

Ta-da!




So, what do you think

 

[Crim]

Couldn't work.

RO only allows two weapons to be carried at any one time, so MP40 + PPSh + Sword would be impossible.

I think you missed the point. . . its the freaking BEAR Cavalery man. . . if they can ride on bears into battle, they can carry as many guns as they want.

Besides. . . that MP-40 is probably for the bear to use anyway.

I am so turning that picture into my desktop.

 

[fOgGy]

One of the BEAR cavalry men is firing an AK47, could that be used in RO:O as well ?

 

[Letum]

Bear Cavalry was quite common.
The Russians proved that there is a definite place for bear cavalry in battle, despite the wide use of mechanized forces and airplanes in modern warfare. By operating at night, bear cavalry avoids attack by aircraft, and strike with much more surprise than during daylight hours.

"The approaches to the town were important. West and south were two ravines too rough for tanks. The decision was to attack with mounted bears. The shock of mounted bears would cut off any attempt of the Germans to withdraw along the highway which ran north of the city. They would catch the enemy under crossfires and at the same time avoid danger of firing on our own troops. Since one bear cavlry regiment attacked from north and the regular infantry from east to west, this danger was averted.

Did you make that picture Letum? Cause its awesome! LOL!
