Hi, Im curious to find out it the germans have the g43 or MG42in their arsenal as Im not seeing them in any videos?
Im guessing they are not in it as Stalingrad took place before 1942?
Really disappointed as would have loved to see those weapons in that game as they are my favourite to use.

The 1942 could be in. But the G43 def. not. However you have his older version the G41...

MG42 will be added in the future.

G43 is out of chance, i'm sorry, but i think that with G41, SVT-40 and AVT-40 you'll have a lot of semi-auto/auto rifles choice ;)

Well the G43 wasn't produced yet and the MG42 was in Stalingrad but it just isn't in the game YET. You never know Tripwire might add it later like they will with Tanks and Vehicles. The MG42 wasn't in the first release of Red Orchestra: Ostfront either. Just need to wait.

Also if you didn't realise the little symbol for resting your gun is a MG42. Maybe there's a little hint?

Yeh the Prototype weapon which was made in tiny numbers and was hated by German soldiers?

Oddly enough I love the G41 and want to buy one in real life (America is GREAT for us militaria nuts).

Less than 18,000 mg42's were produced in 1942 and it is highly doubtful any of them reached the units fighting in Stalingrad so I would not expect to see it in game.

But then again we have an mp44 :rolleyes:

They definitely were in Stalingrad. There is absolutely no doubt about that. There are unit cards for platoons in Stalingrad that list the MG42 as a weapon in service.

Now, the MkB42(H) was not necesarily in Stalingrad, but since the possibility exists and you can't prove it either way (in or not) Tripwire thought it would add to the diversity.

i'd like to see some earlier war weapons. not many games represent pre-early war stuff, like mp28s and such.

Well the MG42 is definatly in Stalingrad.

The Mkb42 I heard only around 10,000 were made in total and most of them were given to the SS. So if the Mkb42 is in the game well...
