There are a few ways you can modify this one, to make it useful. Whatever way you go, it tends to work best at medium range. I like the ZF4 scope, because the ZF41 doesn't give you any extra benefit over a pistol, and the Hub L41 suppressor which doesn't sacrifice muzzle velocity or damage. The suppressor with the best aim stability works as well though, if you want something more accurate for single shots to the head. Overpressure barrel, magazine and receiver means 2 hits kill any standard enemy, and 3 hits kill Jagers. Adding the leather pad and aim tape x6 gives enough aim stability to easily aim centre mass at medium range without missing, or head shots if you go prone. It's excellent for pinching off single shots with, but difficult to use at close range with the scope, and accuracy and recoil are pretty bad for shoulder aiming. It's more a backup for a loud rifle than something you switch to when things get messy. Switching in the lightened and stripped barrel and marksman mag give you better aim stability for headshots, while keeping damage high enough to kill standard enemies with 3 limb shots and Jagers with 5. Other upgrades make the aim stability even better, but sacrifice too much power for me. It's a tricky balancing act. It's the best secondary you can fit a scope to, but I prefer the Welgun (accuracy) or Sjogren (power/speed) most of the time. The high power version with the scope and suppressor removed does work well for survival though, where it's more difficult to come by shotgun ammo.
Thank you for this information. Your knowledge of the weapons and attachments is very impressive. I just normally go through and customise items without giving too much thought. Pretty much just rely on the 4 bars. This will be very insightful for people wanting to have a detailed breakdown. Thanks.
Yeah it's great for that. I kind of get surprised when I do one shot kill enemies without the slow mo kill replay cause I think there's no way it landed.
Fun fact: The MK42 is a early prototype of the STG44 and also this gun was invented in WW1 also I forgot to mention the night vision scope did exist in WW2 but only reserved for Jägers but rarely used in the war
@@DazAction the most unrealistic WW2 game I’ve seen is Call of duty WW2 so far because of some cutscenes. But it will remain on one of my favorite call of duty games
Hugo Scheimmser led development team of Stg, hewas forced in captivity to work on a similar concept in Soviet . Others took the credit for it . He was under silence promise notto tell until he was very old,living in Ddr. You could read Stephen Hunters book" The Master Sniper ", and Point of Impact , they are very good. And TMS is about Stg 44 and Nightsight.

@@tjmiller9567 I wish there had been a different one, Sam Elliott in the early 00s would been good, but a Dale Dye as him would also been good i think. But perhaps the ones wjo would been modt i to the cast to begin with R L Ermey, and based on the original book would been great.
@@MrPh30 R Lee woupdve made a perfect match, especially for the Swaggar Sr. The storyline goes on to his son in the books. I'm not sure who could've played the son. I thought Mark was good though. Maybe Affleck?
Now I love a good in depth weapon review/customization video. I come looking for a detailed discussion looking at the numbers and attachments of a full build intended to excel at a particular function. Have you considered making a weapon video with the values displayed? I like the way you field test the loadouts. Using the same location for each test is a nice comparison.
Thank you for the kind words. When I go through a viewer submitted build, I don't want to spend too much time looking at the stats in the loadout. Even if I showed the numbers, I'd probably skim over it honestly. If you haven't already, check out @BrutalBarracuda on UA-cam. I've seen him show the numbers when he goes through a weapon loadout.
Good option, I'm trying to find a good secondary weapon for survival missions, suppressed might be useful, the options certainly make this a good main and secondary weapon. I usually use the Soviet PPsh submg, alas the high rate of fire, it chews through ammo to quick....
I use the MP44 for survival (Welgun for campaign, for the insane accuracy, but a bit of extra range and power helps in survival). I don't bother with a suppressor, because enemies work out your location pretty quickly with or without. Just go high damage, low recoil, iron sights (ignore spread accuracy, because you have to sacrifice too many strengths to get it anywhere near good, so just don't shoulder aim), maybe the leather pad for a bit of aim stability. I'm not the best at survival, but this works pretty well. Certainly better than the PPSH, which is underpowered, not particularly accurate, and chews through too much ammo.
@@DazAction for survival I've been going back and forth with my fully unlocked Erma .36 (the suppressor that ADDS power, so weird) and the MP44 - so for the MP44 isn't terrible but the Erma somehow edges it out for me a little. It's gonna come down to personal preference for sure - but currently I've gone loud and proud on survival as others have said, it doesn't matter, they know where the base is, they will swarm it.
@@DazAction So after my comment yesterday - I fully redid my attachments on the MP44 for survival and did some tests - it out shines the Erma so much in full loud and proud its not funny, even if the specs show slightly less power
I've been doing this for a while. In fact the similarities are so great, I can't help but wonder if you and I didn't co-op at one point and you saw me use this.
My favourite rifle is the M.1903 rifle. It has the highest authentic zoom and very high power along with using the Moore suppressor attachment. For secondary, I like the MP40 and the MP44. Pistol I tend to go with the M1911. Best weapons? I don't know. That would be personal preference as I am so used to my favourites I can't really use other weapons well now.
@@JosefRosam yeah... But it was REALLY in it's embryotic stage of development In the 40s. The tech wasn't REALLY considered "usable" until the 60s, and even then it was VERY low resolution, had VERY limited range, and the size of the unit, the emitter, and batteries made them more of a novelty than a reliable peice of equipment.
Sorry I've never come across that issue before. I don't think there is a setting to remove the crosshairs. I can't remember if there is even an option to reset all the settings. Was going to suggest that if you haven't tried already If no luck, maybe try getting in touch with Rebellion via their Discord. There might be someone who can provide assistance.

I carry this for stealthy missions. You can one-shot head shots out pretty far with a suppressor.

Cool. Always great to experiment with different loadouts to see how they perform. Can get some surprising results.
My teacher recomended me some WW2 books since she knew I liked them. WW2 has very interesting books on both sides of the war
One of my favourite secondary weapons
It's a great weapon to use definitely.
Mine also
I go for the neck shots as you’ll be sure of NOT knocking off helmets first and alerting others.
That's a great tactic.
I've been doing this for a while. In fact the similarities are so great, I can't help but wonder if you and I didn't co-op at one point and you saw me use this.
Never done co-op so that wouldn't be the case.
I use this setup w/NV scope on rubble and ruin.
Oh nice. That would be a perfect map to use it on.

Best sniper??
You mean what I think is the best sniper? Personal preference is the M.1903.
