Most likely the FG 42.

Yes, that's what I meant :P

We think about having the MG42 for MMG while LMG could either be Zb.26/MG34/FG42.

Zb.26+MG34 would make more sense to me as the FG42 was a paratroopers weapon. Doesn't stop us from using it on a map with german paras though ;)

i dont think the mg34 would be worth making since its just the "prequel" of the MG42 so theres no much visible difference (at least for me ;) ). I think you should go for a magazine fed weapon like the ZB26 or the FG42.

The problem with that is that the FG42 is an uncommon weapon, a rare sight even for the paratroopers. It also wasn't built to be an LMG, but a experimental version of the assault rifle concept which was nailed down with the StG44(or as early as the Mkb 42 if you want to be specific). At this point I'm thinking only MG34 and MG26(t) make sense, with the German being restricted to bolt action rifles, having the better LMG can make up for it - which is of course just like it was in WW2, the German infantry tactics relying on the MG as the centerpiece of their infantry squad.

I think it's because of Call of Duty that people know about the FG42. There were only a few thousand made and when you look at how many troops fought that's like a drop in the bucket. There are TONS of WW2 weapons that most people don't know about and the FG42 is the one uncommon weapon that everyone knows.

Yes, however there was confusion, and we still do actually have the Zb.26, which you will see as the LMG. It was taken out of the German hand held weapons, and they only one LMG size that was there was the FG 42.

Are there any plans to add actual artillery to the game or are you not going to bother due to the presence of mortars already?

Yes there is plans, rocket artillery such as the nebelwerfer for exemple would be suitable.

Do the PR:WW2 creators have anything similar to what Rhino has for Falklands that shows what's done and what needs to be done?

No way lol. We don't have anything italian, either military or civilian. But that would be really nice though! I wish PR would get away from Russia/Desert and more into European cities. We would have statics to work with!

Unlike FH2 we don't have a dedicated team working on this project. In fact, every single member is sharing their free time with other PR projects or BF2 mods. Ups and downs are bond to happen but we're still here and working, just slowly.

When we are able to tease you, we will certainly do so.

Thanks for your patience and support.

If you have the skills, then feel free to PM me. Additional help is appreciated.

I'm not here to ask a question but simply say I loved the mini-mod and myself/my clan are eagerly awaiting the time where we can have some WW2 Project Reality action.

Are there any maps that have planes in it? I asked this a while ago just wondering if there is an update.
