You are probably right about the vehicle players not liking it, though, it would allow for small infantry guns, like Hotchkiss cannon, gatling guns, and early Maxims.
Cool. I know Id sure love some vintage HMG gameplay.
Ive been asking for the Vickers gun to be added to Enlisted, unfortunately a lot of people dont seem to know what it is.
Us Australians used them in the jungles of New Guinea and those things are heavy as hell.
I believe the Americans sometimes used the M1917 Browning machine gun which is a similar design.
All of them are of course based on the original ‘Maxim gun’.
Side note Nordenfelt would be cool, Im thinking of the film Khartoum about the battle of the same name General Gordon VS The Mad Mahdi and theres a river steamboat which theyve put wooden planks and such and British Egyptian Army soldiers operating a Nordenfelt as well as ordinary British civilians with Martini Henry rifles etc.
I’ve done that and had infantry throwing htem from all sides without suffering any damage - but if it’s happened to you then that shows the issues with my sample size of 1 player
they shoot pretty good, got killed a couple of times during trench runs on a fokker…
Also, they LIE DOWN when I’m trying to kill them from above, lol, like, the whole trench is hiding on the floor while I’m gunning them, then when I fly by - they get up and start shooting at me.
I just bought WT golden eagles for the first time ever to unlock and keep several WW1 tanks I didn’t have the time to unlock during the week.
On the other hand, I would never pay anything, not even a cent, for zombies/heroes/fortnite bs in Enlisted despite it being basically my main game unlike WT which I just installed specifically for the event.
Finally had a Garford killed by 1 - saw the grenade rolling around on the roof and thought - well this will be telling… BOOM!
Also found that MG’s will kill the infantry in trenches - I’d tried earlier in the event but hadn’t gotten any and just used main guns - AP or HE made no difference you had to get a direct hit!
But now MG’s work too… for a definition of “now” that may be forever only I didn’t realise!
shrapnel shells provide some aoe damage to infantry, iirc
HE filler is like 100g tnt, not enough to make a big shockwave and WT removed splinters from their HE shells for balancing against tanks with open top, so, the only thing that kills in HE shell is a shockwave, so you need much more tnt to get splash damage.
