Anyone else feeling this or maybe I am doing something wrong?
i have had the same feeling about the rate of fire at the start...but the rate of fire ingame depends on a lot of factors such as range, experience of the crew, surpression etc.
take a look at this video showing an mg42 in emergency situation:

...seems pretty realistic to me when it comes to rate of fire. :)
the thing is that hmgs were used mainly to surpress over long distances and in this situation it fires in rather slow bursts to achieve a higher accuracy. the level of surpression ingame seems absolutely ok. it is no problem to surpress a whole squad with only one hmg.
