I was determined to figure out how to use the Mg42 properly, I knew it had to be better then the Mg34.
So I played with it almost exclusively last night on Odessa and Stalingrad-Kessel.
And I finally will retract my statement on the Mg34 being better.
Mg42 is better you just have to use it right.
Some points I found
1.) Stay far back. You can snipe with it almost, do very short burts
2.) The first couple of bullets are extremely accurate.
3.) Dont go to obvious spots
4.) If the enemy gets closer, I aim for the feet, and let er rip. The recoil brings it up to their head usually, and this almost always gets them.
5.) Try to go to a spot that is covered from sides, so you can only be seen from the back easily, and you can see out the front well, but others can't see you well, make it hard for them to aim.
6.) Do Not Venture off, always stay near other teammates.
7.) Fall back when you have to, and change position if people start lighting up your spot, and expect you there.
8.) Don't shoot when you don't have do, you just give yourself away. Unless your trying to surpress them.
How to shoot all depends on distance. Quick short burts for far, but if they get closer, just unload, don't take the chance. You can use it like a sniper.
