The prototype was called STG43 but that was rejected as a project by Hitler himself, the developers continued producing them under the name MP43 for a while, later when Hitler inspected troops in Russia that had just broken free (with the help from airdrops of MP43s) from being surrounded he asked them what they needed and they showed him the STG43/MP43 - it was then subject for mass scale production under the name of MP44.Bernadictus wrote:
First of all: MP44? I thaught it was STG44 (SturmGewehr, instead of MachinerPistole).
Second, he MP(STG)44 is - imho - worse then any other rifle ingame. For me it's still a clue why this was included instead of an Ak101 etc.
But yet again to late to make an impact on the war.
