limited firing arc for deployed mg's

[Gunnerz]

As suggested in the title.
So you DONT see ppl turn around in 1 second with a deployed mg to kill a whole squad.

I'd be surprised if the most casualty producing weapon in a squad wasn't killing entire squads. That would mean my Machine-gunner was doing something wrong.

[Gunnerz]

True, but its retarded to see a mg gunner spinning around 360 degrees watching for targets while he is lying down.

Thats just part of the game.  A first person shooter can only be so realistic, specially sense its a mod.

Ghost Recon 1 had it. It was pretty difficult to adapt in the beginning.
On the other hand you also have people running zick zack that is impossible for actual humans.

If a machine gunner is good, he won't pick a spot here he constantly needs to twirl around 360 degrees.  If he does choose such a spot...then he's rather easy to kill.

I am siding with VonMudra here, it would be sub-optimal to restrict the gunners movement. What could be done to improve realism a bit would be to let the MG turn quickly for a certain amount of degrees and to slow down the movement after that, pretty much as it is with the AT guns right now.

I don't think that is feasible. Otherwise, PR would already have it to prevent those zick-zacks I meant. Even ArmA II does not have it if I remember correctly.
