Since the American 50 cal. and the British Vickers are pick up kits and you have to throw them on the ground prior to using them.
Why not the same for the German mg's instead of being a player class?
This way it would eliminate the instaprone-dolphin-dive-that-we-love-so-much :P
I don't see any problem removing the player class, the pick up kit is already ingame, it's only affecting the way the mg is deploy.
What do you think? Do you have other suggestions on the subject?
-
Um, that would completely destroy any effectiveness of a easily and rapidly movable bipod MG. No, just no.

That's okay with me, but then why can't the Americans have a Browning M1919A4 .30 Cal Machine gun with a bipod instead of just the BAR, which is not at all comprable to the MG/42 during it's time...

Because the version of the browning with bipod is the M1919A6 and appear on the battlefield in late 1944.

Bingo.

I hope to see it in the next major update when they will make the ardennes.

Interesting, what makes you so sure it will be the Ardennes...

Taranov :P

Yeah, taranov stated that on moddb.
-
Have you seen him lately?
Black helicopters, man, its those black helicopters!
-
He not only stated it, he then gave a followup post where he described how much work they had to do to get to it. Seems pretty confirmed.

But what if hes bluffing us on purpose, and Lobo is just finishing Operation Shingle map?

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.
-
Dolphin diving isn't as much of an issue as it used to be, and the whole point of the MG34/42 was to be able to be used as both an LMG and an HMG(there are even people who want to be able to use it standing up). However, I did suggest something a little similar to this a while ago where all mg players get a basic tripod version of their gun as well as the bipod so they can set the MG up in windows.
-
The germans always had an advantage of Deployable, Infantery based General purpose machine guns. However, the allies had Light Machine guns, wich in terms had their advantage's. You can do many things with the brengun, wich you impossible can do with the MG34
Like Rambo Brengunning ;D Hip fire! Mow them down ye advancing close range germans!
Nah, the system is good as it is.

Then I want the same for the Allies... in time of course ;) ;D
-
Find a general purpose machine gun for the allies and we'll see.
-
Allies lacked GPMG and Germany lack LMG's
Both had both, but not in many numbers in bipod versions for the infantery
M1919 .30CALS with bipod where very common, but only after October 1944

1: Bipod machine gunners in the german army joined in the attacks, jumping from cover to cover and quickly laying down fire, as well as firing on the move, using the assualt standing position.
2: Bipod machine guns are easy to set up. You go prone, and you fire. THat's it. I've done it before, just jumping into a ditch, and on my way down, slamming the bipod into the ground. Shoulder, and fire.
-
I have always wondered why people keep suggesting deploying feature for bi-pods. It's not like one would have to complete a long check-list of operations before the gun is operational... just put it in the ground and start shooting :E
Just like in FH2.
-
Yep, its not like the lafette where you would have to set up the tripod, get the right height and angle, place in the MG, lock it into place, place in the scope, lock that into place, connect it to the battery box for the scope, then finally load the MG and fire. With a bipod MG, you just shoulder and fire.=/

You missed some.
1: You are not firing a .50 from a bipod. Not gonna happen. A) no .50 MG's have shoulder stocks, which is an integral part of a bipod firing platform. B) A .50 is not a mobile weapon when crew humped. The M2 weighs 38 kg (83.78 lb) ALONE and , 58 kg (127.87 lb) with tripod. It is far too heavy to be just carried around and dropped all willy nilly. It was almost never moved around when not mounted on vehicles. IT was a defensive weapon when not mounted on some vehicle. C) the recoil would be tremendous, and uncontrollable on a bipod. It wouldn't stay in put and would end up sneaky snaking all over the place.
While similar in appearance do not confuse the two machineguns made by Mr. Browning.

2: The difference in machineguns used by the militaries of WW2 has to do with the tactical doctrine of the day. For the German army, the small unit doctrine revolved around the MG. Ergo, they needed an MG that could be moved around at will, and with minimal effort, and the infantry was there to protect the MG, and help it advance in the field. The American and British doctrine revolved around the rifle platoon. The MG was secondary to the rifles, and thus was relegated to a support weapon. For the British and US, the BAR and Bren fill the niche that the MG-15, 34, 42 filled for the Heer.

.50CAL's where issued to armored vehicle's more. You had an infantery version, but it wassent used much. You needed about 3 men to carry everything around, and even THEN that was the absolute lowest amount of people needed.
The allies however, had a huge advantage over the germans. The .50CAL, devestated anything not being a Medium tank or a light tank's frontal armor.
Many times, M3 Halftracks met Hanomags, and the results where often victorious for the Halftracks with .50CAL.

@granpa_jo: Thx for the infos, I have a very limited knowledge for all military thingy ;)

haha, yes, thank you, I was running to school when I wrote that, thanks for finishing it up ;)

Please don't laugh at my ignorance, it's not my fault if SPR and BoB perverted my mind... ;)

We forgive you. At least I do.
THEY GOT THE LOG RAMPS WRONG!!!
