In my opinion, I think the German STG 44 would be a great alt. Rifleman kit.

sweedensniiperr · 12-14-2011, 03:30 AM

perhaps the stg can be an officers kit?

The STG, if we ever get a model, won't be featured as alt rifleman - then too many of them will be available, not gonna happen.

The stg44 would be seriously OP without massive recoil (g3-ish?)

Some comments regarding the M1919:

The Americans did not see the machine gun as the center piece of their infantry squad, but as a support weapon. That is why they gave their riflemen more firepower in form of semi-automatic rifles, while the BAR was kept as a relatively crappy "semi-lmg". However, every rifle company had a platoon of M1919 MMGs on tripod that were often directly attached to squads to bolster their firepower. The M1919A6 bipod version was not used in Normandy, it was only introduced near the end of 1944 and only issued on a limited basis.

Mostly test versions of th StG44 were used in Normandy. Units that received these were Paratroopers, some SS divisions like the 12th SS Panzer and some infantry divisions on the cherbourg peninsula. The crappy second line divisions on the beaches would not have them. Later in the war they became increasingly common and a standard weapon, but not in June 1944.

MG kit- US 30 cal./German MG42

Automatic Riflemen- US BAR/German Fallschirmjagergewehr-42 (FG-42)

Why ^ - Because Both FG42 and BAR use 20 round mags, were issued to paras, and were selective fire. Please?

Pvt.LHeureux · 12-22-2011, 08:03 PM

FG-42 would be very interesting, but it was mainly used by german paras and we would need a model for it sadly.

True but officers would still have been present, and maybe a few of them were armed with STG-44's not just the standard MP40. And as for the model of the STG, PR:V has all of EoD's content, and if I'm not mistaken there is an STG-44 in that mod.

Of course officers were present, but why would they have an stg44?
