Dt Machine Gun unlock?

Effectively yes, since we don't need to worry about the recoil spring breaking from heat buildup.
I'm no gun expert, but don't the Russians have some MG that can do a single shot fire? I main MG now post patch (fell in love with it a few days after launch) and usually do really well regardless of which gun I use. I had lvl 11 dp-28 and lvl 15 mg-34 when I hit veteran MG. Since then I've basically used MG-34 exclusively on either team and its now lvl 46.
The main reason is that it has a single round fire which you really need for taking out stationary targets behind cover. With bad luck you can do 3-4 sprays on someones head with the DP-28 and not kill them so the kill you or hide in cover. MG-34 it takes one bullet to kill them. The utility is just so much higher ignoring the 75 round drum mag and 250 round ammo belt upgrades.

What about
In service 1944-1960s (Soviet Union)

Makes sense since theres prototypes in the game.

it would. all of these 3 items let to be better accuracy and reduced recoil during firing
Certainly never in Stalingrad. It wasn't even designed until 1943, prototypes did not enter service until 1944.What about

While we're on the whole prototype subject, I don't think they should be there. I would personally make the MKb 42 unavailable on any Stalingrad maps. Leave it in the game for limited use on other maps which may be made in the future outside of Stalingrad. I'd rather see the FG 42 in game than the MKb 42. At least there were actually Fallschirmj
I think in game terms the effects would be very minor. Not enough to justify adding a "new" weapon in my opinion.
And you justify the terrible imbalance between german and russian weapons? All the german weapons who where better in WW2 are in RO2? but none of the russian weapons wich where better?
What about a Bren? Maybe have that as an unlock as well.
Dont forget the browning 30 cal!
I justify realism and historical accuracy. I don't care which side it favors, so long as it behaves as it did in real life. If a German weapon was better, than it should be better in game. It should not be artificially "nerfed", to balance the Russian side. The opposite applies as well of course. It just doesn't happen as often, because the German weapons were often better. The downside of the German weapons were the resources and technology required to create them, and the higher maintenance requirements, all factors outside the scope of the game. In the real world, the Russian weapons were cheaper, and easier to produce. They also required less maintenance do to the loose design tolerances. But in the game world, these factors are irrelevant. When only looking at performance of perfectly functioning weapons, the Germans are the clear winners in most cases.
Lol pictures Josef lugging around a 12.7 mm mg
Ya it would be like a fully auto AT gun just saying realistically the Russian is historically limited when it comes to mg unlocks.
For the record I like the sights on the DP-28 better than the MG-34
DP-28 > MG-34 in my book. I can out-snipe those silly Fascists with my eyes closed as their trigger-happiness and recoil send them shooting into the sun.
You haven't met me then, I'll gladly send your commie punk *** packin' to whatever god you believe in. <3.

Why not?
Certainly just as plausible as some other weapon in game. Does anyone know if the DLC universal carrier will have the bren/boys as shipped or has been refitted with DP/PTRD?
