Um, that would completely destroy any effectiveness of a easily and rapidly movable bipod MG. No, just no.
Maybe, but the fact is: People use it as an assault weapon to
rambo their way to cap flags instead of using it as it's suppose to be, a support weapon.
It took longer and sometime 2-3 try to set your 50 cal. properly, where you want it.
With the 34/42, it's right away, no second try. That's a big advantage, plus you have a superior weapon in you hands with better rate of fire. My suggestion is simply to remove the double advantage (and dolphin diving) the German Mg have over the allies ones.
I'm ok with more maneuverability on the ground once you set but for the game purpose both team should "set" their Mg the same way. In real life no Mg gunner were charging the front line, they support their troops. Once the ground is taken they move up to a new position (as far as I know
). It should be the same ingame.
