The Vickers K you get from the halftrack or the Bren machine gun you get from the HQ? If anyone can find the stats for them that would be nice too.

Answer: an HMG 42. In their front.

This is why you have people complaining about lack of Soviet bunkers, why T34/76 sucks, why Cons don't scale, Grens don't get normal grenades, Muricans don't get heavy tank, OKW laser weapons and Die Glock Death Bell, etc.

vicker k for tommies, but only statistically. In practice it's unlikely you will see any differences.
bren for sapper or commandos.

the vicker k is more useful for conscript or riflemen, but the m1919a6 is still better.

Is the vickers K better than the 50cal for riflemen? Would be interesting if it was statistically(without defensive stance going for it that is).

Does anyone have a full stats comparison of all the LMGs in the game?

Irrc there are different versions of booth the bren and the vickers... So the big question is when the different variants are used, and if they are retained when dropped.

After that is explored, it would be nice to note down the dps difference.

Bren is different when picked up from base but if you pick it up from the ground you get the infantry section version.

I didn't think there was a huge amount of difference between the bren and the vickers?
apart from the vickers sounding totally baller

I'm pretty sure the Vickers K has a bit more DPS but I don't think it's that noticeable.

Also you don't need the weapon rack upgrade for the Halftrack which is nice

Equipping Heavy Engineers with a couple of Vicker Ks alongside the one received via the upgrade is rofltastic. You'll need Bolster though. The sheer amount of firepower they have in cover at vet 1 is insane, chewing through all but the most vetted OKW infantry.

If you mean "by miles" literally 1 DPS.

I'm going to say that Bren Guns are superior at the moment. For the simple fact that the Vickers K is quite buggy. If you have them equipped long enough, Infantry Sections seem to have a habit of losing them WITHOUT dropping them and revert back to their Rifles. And here's the kicker. Their slots don't empty as a result so you can't replace them with new weapons!
