MG 42 is really underperforming compared to other hmgs, however it still do its job when used correctly and retreat used on time. Lowering the reload time would balance it lil bit imo.

Mg42 is a monster at vet 2 and 3. Getting it there is the problem. As soon as it has one star spam the crap out of the incendiary ap rounds. I've had a single mg42 rape blobs if I spot for it. It starts firing after blob is in the arc and watch them melt. It even chews up light vehicles. That said... mg reload out of combat would be nice, especially for the mg42 since all infantry tactics are based around the mg holding the line. The m2 .50 seems more like a cover retreat/auxiliary weapon since it's crew is made of glass. The mg34 just isn't good at much. The maxim can be silly, but that's fine. Even with a tiny arc maxim is great. It can enter any other mgs arc and force it to retreat (silly). The 42 needs a little traverse buff, maybe slight suppression buff (~5-10%). M2 needs a crew buff, the weapon itself is fine. For its price the mg34 is fine.

I'd love to see mgs not suppress when suppressed themselves and unable to fire when pinned. Automatic or manual reload would be good too.

Or, we could fix the problem if the MG42 automatically reloaded after an engagement, or if it had a button for it. Because thats really the worst, having your mg in a good position, the enemy blob arrives, it starts reloading after 1 burst...

The technical easyest solution would be a button to reload, or simple make it so that it gets autoreloaded after 10 seconds out of fight, maybe even without an animation.
