Do you have any sources for that? Or do you mean the sight for use in the AA role? The modern MG3 used by Germany today can be fitted with EOTech holosight red-dot optics though.
I watched are documentary on the MG42 the other week and they meantioned a sight that could be used for long distance shooting.
