Mg42?

[Dwin]

and ironically they balanced it by the ppsh shooting EVERYTHING to buggary at 10m where you could use the mp40 to snipe at least across the square in zhitomir...

Except for the low-fps zero recoil bug =)

I posted in another thread that the mg 42 was around in Stalingrad, but in small numbers as a prototpye, the mg39/41 http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=73263[url]http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=73263[/URL]

The 71 round mag for the PPsh will be an upgrade, you won't start with it.

Show me a link of where you found this out^^ please!

I imagine their first priority was to include one MG for each side that was extremely common in Stalingrad. I think you could bet money that the MG42 will arrive in a free content pack post-release, though.

EDIT:
And YES I recognize the irony in the above post. Please refrain from inevitable Mkb42 references. I'm just covering my *** ahead of time on this one.:IS2:

That wouldn't be authentic, because the PPsh-41 has an standard drum magazine with 71 rounds or a clip with only 35 rounds (like the PPS-43)

Early war they had drums only. Later war they got sticks and typically carried one drum, maybe two, and the rest in stick mags. That is the most realistic choice. There is a huge and detailed thread on this.

Oh, and for the umpteenth time:

I wonder what "lmg.42" refers to?^^

lMG 42 = leichtes Machinengewehr 42
sMG 42 = schweres Machinengewehr 42

So exactly.....how much is the umpteenth time is real world numbers again....Admit it it's not even a bloody word...it's a colloquialism

It's just that this scan has been posted at last 20+ times on this board and people still go on and ask if the MG 42 was in Stalingrad.

 

[Unterscharfuhrer]

The MG42 was in Stalingrad in limited numbers.

Heck, by now I think everybody would've seen that unit weapons report from late 1942. I don't have it, so could anyone post it please (for the umpteenth time)?

You mean this?

 

[LemoN]

You mean this?

Look above, I already posted it.

Why this wide use of 4,2cm Pak?

I've got no clue, but it was quite effective against tanks with a penetration of up to 120mm @ 100m @ 90

 

[Ender]

My bet is that it is in and will be a veteran weapon. I also think they want to have some new info to release and are holding this one back.

 

[MD.GHOST]

hopefully it will be in and right displayed

 

[Tank!]

You mean this?

No. This:

Now find the paper (a real one not a photoshopped one) that mentions the MKb 42 in Stalingrad.

No, obviously he meant this one:

That would be something, wouldn't it?

hmm the eternal question: lock the thread due to spamming of the form, or sticky it so people won't ask this silly question again?

What about doing both?

I see what you did there.
