YES THE BREDA!!!!!!!!!!! OMG< THAT PIECE OF SHIT LMG!


I love it, thank you devs

And btw, Faust, its something along the lines of the BAR or Bren, only really fucking shitty

when I see the ammo holder etc. I'm also wondering what kind of awesome animation Killi Vanilli will create for us

The M91/38 pictured is the carbine variant, so its slightly less accurate. Theyre the same models from FH1.

I think the general consensus on the Breda is that it will be coded like the MG34, because its far too unwieldy to be used like the bren or BAR. All in all, its a hunk of junk.

On the other hand, an entire army armed with impact-fuse grenades is going to be a bitch and a half.

Great update, the Breda gun looks great.

However, if its coded like the mg34, has 500rpm, 6.5mm ammo and a 20 round magazine, it would be without doubt the worst machine gun in the game. So IMO realism should get to decide. Was the breda commonly fired from the hip?

Well I think what McGibbs is saying is that, 'in reality' the Breda was too unweildy to be used like the Bren or the BAR. I would agree, from the photos, I don't see how it could be fired from the hip. Its just a POS.

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Italian weapons (especially the BAYONETS!!!!!!!)

Anyway great update as usual devs...

Aside from the French Chauchat of ww1, the Breda 30 is largely regarded as one of the worst machine guns of all time. Out of all the MGs we will ever have in FH2 it should be the worst machinegun ingame.

Ingame, we cant code it so it jams every 30 seconds, or that its oily and greasy because it injects lubricant onto every bullet at it's chambered (which youd also have to refill often), or wasnt issued with any way of handeling the red hot barrel when you needed to swap it out, was prone to overheating very rapidly, and was also notorious for "cooking off" rounds (as it fires from a closed bolt)

It doesnt even have a carrying handle. In terms of awkwardness, this thing beats the mg34 with flying colours. It has poor damage, slow rate of fire, small magazine, and long reload time. Be grateful that's all we can make wrong with it.

But it does provide automatic fire at long ranges.

I already regret wishing for Italian weapons
