Well, actually I mean the following. The gameplay is above visual beauty. And mg nests should have normal vertical aiming angles. Now it’s just pointless to put a machine gun on a height, it’s ridiculous.
So you can just add along with the machine gun a small platform + boxes on which the soldier will stand up when shooting down(for avoiding goofy moments). And return the vertical angles (I’m sure they were better before). Suggest is over.
Actually both the Soviets and Germans have this issue. Making it extremely frustrating especially on Berlin maps where you SHOULD be able to build excellent MG nest positions, but cannot because you cannot angle down with them.
Main variance between HMGs is their vertical angles. Some are able to shoot higher in the sky as pseudo AA, some are suitable to plant in a higher position where their downward firing angle lets them shoot at targets low and close to them, unlike the others.
Yeah, this is strange. Personally, I think they should either be exactly the same, or the player should be able to view the stats without dropping in the files. Otherwise, at first glance they differ only in the convenience of the sight (M2 is terrible) and rof.
