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.
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
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.
@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.
BF1 had a problem with bipids and fixed it fairly quick if I remember. Hopefully theyll fix them on BFV. Tired of having to move around just to get it to sit nicely
The bipods are always broken because the game has to account for your proned body and the walls, if your body is near a wall and you prone, the game pushes you out of the wall.
I feel like dice put a ton of opticial illusions in the game design. Every map has multiple profiles that look just like a soilder then it turns out to be a tree stump or a head light of a jeep
No this game is just so buggy that it "bounced" off the invisible wall. If you look at it in 0.5 times speed u will see that there is no second grenade
I hope they never path the MG 42 ... it was a superior weapon and it feels like it ... putting the Firing rate down for example would completely kill this gun ... thats the Problem with cod ww2 ...
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
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. The weight of the ammo is immense with the belted 7.62.
I love using the mg42 when squad leader, send the squad in to capture a flag while I sit back and spray any enemy moving in....agree with those saying the bipod issues are annoying
Yea, Im kind of tired of seeing the best squad at the end of the game and they all have like the assault rifles, Smgs, and Lmg with large scopes on all of them. Idk maybe its just not aesthetically pleasing to me.
I don't know how you're hip fire killing people with that thing.. I literally stand a meter away from someone, spray 80 rounds at them and they kill me.
Also he's playing in a full 64 player server and runs around rarely getting shot at. The actual game is much more chaotic than that. And the enemies he does encounter are pretty incompetent. These videos are likely staged/choreographed to make the game look more fun.

Lol I searched on wikipedia and actually the germans were doing a project for new mg the mg45 it had 1800 rpm... they wanted to make the ww2 minigun lol
for that time 1800 rounds was a lot , but th germans wanted so many things , so many failures , u could not know how it would rlly be ( the "minugun" can fir 3000 to 6000 rounds a minute )
The MMGs are amazing. I'm glad DICE didn't change how they worked. I used the MG-34 yesterday and leveled it up to lvl 3 in like 4 matches, without upgrading it.
Could you give your thoughts on the Heroes & Generals game? I'd like to know what aspects of BFV and H&G you like or dislike and maybe what elements of either game you would like to see improved. It could be a nice video!
I love it, I'm always within the hour when I check youtube. Nothing like wondering what to watch and an awesome JF video in your feed :D Super happy to see the gameplay footage now that the informatives are over. Probably would enjoy them more if I actually played the game, but I enjoy watching people play these games, not feeling the frustration myself :D
Grandad: oh damn, is that the new ww2 game? Cousin: yes! (Im just watching her play, granpa is a filipino-american in the european theatre) Granpa: the heck you hipfire a fucking mg-fourty-fucking-two?
Any nerf would be the most retarded thing ever for the MMGs. The inability to fire accurately on the move or without deploying the bipod is already a built-in nerf.
When you were moving while bipodded at around 3:00 it's not a "bug" per se, it's your legs pushing you away from the wall behind you. It was like this in at least BF4 and BF1 as well.
There was a platoon using MMG's on Rotterdam Grand Op's. What a frightening experience as a hail of bullets came down the streets with comrades falling like trees in a hurricane.
The prone auto-crawl forwards you mentioned at 3:00 has got me killed SO many times. I'll set up in an ambush on a ledge or corner somewhere with the bipod, and then all of a sudden I'll get automatically pushed forwards enough that my head gets exposed and I get shot. Most of the time when it happens you also can't push back into cover without turning 90-180 degrees. So frustrating...
When you prone near walls it moves you slightly, no bugs, just them keeping your feet from being shot through walls. Been in a lot of battlefield games.
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.
i was fortunate enough to shoot this weapon at a range. One of my favorites! 100 rounds only. But man such an experience! Especially if you’re a fan of WW2 history and firearms.
@@harryfleming1753 if you're really shit at the game then yeah it'll get boring like my cousin did, but if you're really good at the game you'll have a blast like me
The movement is because you prone next to a wall and the game pushes you away so you aren't clipping into it, the bipods are fine, you just have to watch where you are

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

They have to increase recoil, at least a bit, and mobility. The MG42 weights a shitload!
Mousta this video is from almost a year ago. mg42 received two recoil nerf in past spring
If they're going to increase the recoil then increase the firing rate to it's historical rate. 1,200-1,500 rpm, not 980 LOL.

Yea, Im kind of tired of seeing the best squad at the end of the game and they all have like the assault rifles, Smgs, and Lmg with large scopes on all of them. Idk maybe its just not aesthetically pleasing to me.
honestly the AA sight for the lmgs and mmgs are my favorite thing to use. i like the iron sights too
coopwydd yeah I’ve always preferred the AA sights. They’re like big scope style crosshairs but on iron sights if that makes sense.
there was no scopes back then besides on sniper rifles??
Look at the heat waves above the gun at 5:30. That’s a pretty amazing attention to detail.
I don't know how you're hip fire killing people with that thing.. I literally stand a meter away from someone, spray 80 rounds at them and they kill me.
This... Was thinking the same thing when watching. Unless I literally run into the guy, I'm missing
I hip fire with this gun standing right behind the enemy and it won't give any hit markers. I think its some type of glitch.
It turns into a garden sprinkler and I swear it does less damage.

you're moving when prone when against a wall cos your legs are touching the wall buddy boy.

The moving while prone against a wall is to stop clipping so your legs don't go through the wall. It edges you forward away from the wall.
