The MG42 is an Absolute Savage in Battlefield 5

[@brandonlindley8697]

Historically the MG42 was one of the most feared weapons from the Allies in WW2. I’ve read that Allied soldiers would pick up and use MG42s when they could get their hands on them.

[@mrhatman675]

Brandon Lindley lol I searched on wikipedia and the germans were doing a project on a new mg the mg45 with 1800 rpm lol the germans were trying to make the ww2 minigun also how do you tuink the allies whould react on these monsters

[@mattiaslime758]

You feel such as invincible when you use this monster on your enemies

[@sergeantbigmac]

Using an enemies weapon is generally frowned upon, at least in the US military, for many reasons including ammo availability and doctrine of use but mostly friendly fire risk. Context matters of course, as its much more likely in a guerilla or partisan conflict than a large scale traditional war like most of WWII. I've read a couple accounts of US soldiers picking up STG44s (until they were told to ditch them by their COs) but ive never read of allied soldiers actually using MG42s in combat. Do you have sources for this claim? Id love to read up on it.

[@rokibuca]

german engineering at its finest

[@KonTrolled]

@James good Except that using an enemies firearms confuses the ever lucking fuck out of allies and not only puts yourself but those closest to you at risk of friendly fire, so a CO would definitely avoid their men using something like that.

[@quickcovers1126]

Nick AlexuseesuxelA I think maybe the bipod needs to have a little more recoil, other than that it’s fine

[@austinluepkes5484]

Having shot one they aren’t very easy to hold on target after like 5 or 10 rounds so I they could just increase the recoil a tad. Wouldn’t be a big deal anyways since you’re usually shooting at a group of enemies anyways

[@mousta2612]

They have to increase recoil, at least a bit, and mobility. The MG42 weights a shitload!

[@jackalexander3246]

Mousta this video is from almost a year ago. mg42 received two recoil nerf in past spring

We used the MG42 in the Danish army untill just a few years ago. I used it back in 2012. Been playing nothing but support just to get my hands on this lovely piece of machinery again. Very satisfying..... Apart from the bipod problems. PS. A Danish soldier in Afghanistan wielding this weapon on patrol would have just about 500 rounds for it.

[@rootnon]

Well here's an idea dice, since shift doesn't do anything for MGs when ADSed just make it so holding shift will cause you to "grab" near by terrain with the bipod. So as you approach and object you wish to bipod on just hold shift and when the game sees you're in range you deploy bipod and are stuck in bipod 'til you let go of shift. Also for console their equivalent would be left click (R3) so just have it as hold LC/R3 till bipod deployed than press LC/R3 again to leave bipod.
