In north africa, Belt fed was the least thing they preferred. Armies had alot of mag fed MG's in WW2 for a reason
Why do you think for example, that MG34 gunners sticked to 50 round and 75 round mag boxes instead of the belt?
Also the 8x59mm RB Breda is not 8x57 mauser. The 8x59 had a much heavier load (The same way the french did with there hotchkiss MG"s), the bullet itself weighted more aswel. The case capacity was 63 Grammes of H2O while the 8x59 breda had 72 gr of H2O
Yustax seriously you should piss off with your belt fed superiority
Yes it is awesome in FH2. But not always in WW2. Many german MG gunners preferred the mag boxes because a belt can scoop up way to much dirt, you need time to lay out the belt and you often need a Second person to 'Guide' the belt
In a defensive position? belt fed hands down! But offensive wise...
Why do you think they do the same with the Minimi and MAG today in the LMG role?
