It seems out of line for you, an allied only player who doesn't have a rank for axis. The fact is that the 50cal is a straight up better MG than the 42 in all other aspects, better damage, shorter bursts than 42 = faster suppression, faster setup & packup means u can use it a lot easier offensively which is what the USF is known for, while 42 is clumsy as shit and the larger arc can't make up for it until vet 2. So you're concerned that the 50cal isn't completely dominant over the 42? And dshk is just 50cal on steroids. And you forgot that Ostheer design makes 42 underpriced because grens are overpriced. 7 man cons > lmg grens. Riflemen stomp grens for only 17% more cost especially with the recent buff to rifles.
So why don't u play some Ostheer cuz all I see from u are axis op or allied up posts.

221, 222, 251/flame halftrack, 250 halftrack, puma, luchs, flack halftrack, kubelwagen (lel).
OKW exists. Ost halftracks exist.
The MG42 is also basically a waste against the T70 unless point blank and rear armour, but the differece it makes against the early light tier vehicles is extreme.

Noted. In the game after I play as ostheer I will remember that OKW exists

Don't be a disingenuous prat.
The Ost comparison was made specifically to jusify Allied HMGs (DsHK, .50) having worse AP rounds on their more expensive HMGs
What Ost have to face and have has been directly compared to what the USF/Soviets have and have to face.
The Mg42 doesn't need it removing, the MGs just need a little bringing in line. A 7.92x57 should not be better at shredding trucks than a .50 BMG or 12.7x108

Well, being on receiving end it might seem so. Yet, one must remember that the game is assymetrical. Allied mgs deal more than adequately with ostheer 4 men infantry that can't build sandbags, and really voulnerable ostheer light vehicles that often get seriously damaged even without ap rounds. The only problem might be OKW with luchs, but they don't have access to mg42s. So it seems fair to me.

If you remove the AP rounds from MG42 for a non-doc LV OST will straight up dominate.
Only reason MG42 has AP rounds is the non existace of such LV.

Pio,s cant build sandbags?....
Next to ap rounds ost tellers do excist. Ost lv,s or not of the same caliber as allied lv, s are, that is why they get great ap rounds and such strong at mines and no tech faust on grens.
Rifles and echelon cant build sanbags as well. They get other thing to cover for that. Rifles only do buildsandbags in doctrines.

I don't understand your post and what it refers to. Piso can build sandbags and everybody probably knows that tbh. The comment I reffered to is about mg42. IMO it is balanced by weaker 4 men mainline infantry from ostheer and less armour on their light vehicles. Against ostheer, allied mgs work fine imo. The fact that no mainline ostheer infantry can build sandbags helps here as mgs used against green cover don't work that well. Grens or panzergrens can't protect themselves like volks or cons while capping points, for example, which helps allied mgs to deal with them. I can understand that the story may look differently when playing against okw, but their mg34 seems similar to allied mgs and comes later than ostheer's.

there's no sense taking that guy seriously
anyone unironically positing that 50cal is better than mg42 clearly does not play the same game.
