Re: Sdkfz 251/17 & 251/rak

The Stuka zu Fuss (aka. Wurfrahmen 40) most likely introduction was in middle 1941. I've found it hard to pin down actual hard information about this unit, but some books give it a mention. What I...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

As I said just a few posts ago, the original argument was for the FG-42 to have the same stats and function as the B.A.R. I know we got side-tracked with other discussions about SAW's and LMG's. ...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

I'm not sure how it is in this game because I don't play this game. I joined this conversation because I saw the URL linked to my website on the first page. The original argument was that the FG-42...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

It was designed to provide firepower along the lines of a LMG but the accuracy of a rifle. For units like paratroopers, weapons were sometimes designed under the jack-of-all-trades principle. It was...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Almost every single book I have with the FG-42 in it says it was a weapon, designed from the very beginning, for paratrooper use. The emphasis was on being light-weight and compact, while trying to...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Then I guess the problem is that the game interprets the FG-42 as a general issue rifle in the first place. The FG-42 was not designed to be anything like the M1 Garand, STG44, or Gewehr 43. It was...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Based on the numbers I've seen, it's values for use as an automatic rifle are far below what they should be - using other automatic rifles (namely the B.A.R.) to set the standard.

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Well as I said before, I don't play this game or know very much about it. For me, this debate is purely academic. If the FG-42 needs to be the way it is now for the sake of game balance, then so be...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Well this brings up another important issue: Why are there so many FG-42's available per squad in this game? The often quoted total production number of FG-42's is about 7000 - even by the most...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

My involvement in this discussion is purely academic - I don't play this game (although it looks interesting). That being said, for a game that *seems* to pride itself on historical accuracy and...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

The FG-42 was hard to control in full auto mode because it was light-weight but still firing a full size rifle round. Firing at full auto from the standing or kneeling position would make it very...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Under no conditions should the B.A.R. be better than the FG-42 unless you are talking about production. At the very least they should be equal, but the reality is that the FG-42 is a much better...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Yes, barrel heat is a huge factor in rate of fire, and as with most German weapons, swapping barrles in the FG-42 is a simple and painless process. The BAR is a little more complicated, but that's...

Re: Bar vs FG42 is it a draw?

Those figures come from two sources...

1. "FM 23-20 Basic Field Manual. Browning Automatic Rifle, Caliber .30" That's the official US Army manual for the BAR printed in 1940.

2. "TM 30-451 -...
