MG’s can be scary. But people either try to use them like it’s Conders or think they can just build a 131 in the middle of the open and not die for it. They fully deserve what they get
At the time, they could’ve added the Maxim Tokarev, but they instead added RPD with a foregrip. There is no excuse for giving a foregrip to an MG that is already chambered in an intermediate cartridge.

Give MGs bolt action grade precision when bipod mounted, but lower the speed at which you can turn the gun when you mount up. This makes MGs while mounted really good at holding down a specific line of attack. And the counterplay is what it’s been for any well armored tank: just flank it bro

I don’t fear MGs. Most ppl use them as heavy assault rifles and they are a similar threat. I don’t think I ever saw a proper MG position, not for certain.
What I fear are HMGs. But they are easiy flanked.

It’s silly most ppl don’t use em as intended.
When there’s a lot of terrain to cover, I often go prone, lay my lmg on bipods, move a bit then bipods stop working, and fire very accurately at high range, mowing entire squads.
Imagine now, if bipods continued to work…

Yeah, if you manage to go prone they can be really fun (and deadly). Sadly often there is this green MF who interupts your shooting, it’s called grass.

I Always have a place for mgs at most brs.
Some i like to use myself, others i like my bots to have. (Johnson lmg and mg13, mg30 wreck)
Personally I tend to use them more as a battle rifle…tap fire (yes even mg42). As most people fire full auto on the move while standing…i dont usually fear them
Bots wreck with mgs. Especially when you put them in the back of your APC. So fun

Sometimes, my bots fare better than I do if equipped with full auto weaponry.
I look at my bots with disdain, try to aim at enemies from afar, then dolt bot “Braaaap” an enemy 100m away with concentrated m2 carbine fire, just to get back at me…
Same with mg42 or any other lmgs. Bots don’t fear recoil it seems. Real GI Joes I tell you!
But. Weaponry with very fast rof and high recoil is overlooked by players. Short taps. A player using quick successive short taps with a mg45… ah, that’s a terrifying sight. It’s so potent, many ppl think those players cheat and whine about them in forums!!!

Anything shooting at me is a threat. Doesn’t matter what it is. Fear is a strong term for this, however.
When you fear something, you respect it, which means you are not underestimating it due to its ability.
problem with MG-s are that they arent actually MG-s in this game, but just shittier version of AR.
proper MG-s would need to be bipoded on static position where they could provide good fire support with lots of bullets. there is absolutely no need for suppression effect cause actual suppression effect is having brain not to get into line of fire of active MG.
i would both buff and nerf MG for getting their playstyle more in line with their actual usage. having them setup on proper stationary position with 250 ammo belts, but with long reload/change of barrel after every 250 fired bullets. also i would nerf recoil/dispersion while MG is on the move and would give them either magazines or starter belts. basically they would become excellent weapon when actually set up, but they would be way worse than now when they are on the move.

What’s to underestimate? And especially those using said equipment? They couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn lmao. Or let me put it like this for you. ANYthing or ANYone shooting in my direction is hitting the ground. Working for me pretty damn good.
Though not to make me sound like the big, strong, mahn! I think we got enough of that.

Because they are feared and know that they can’t rise up or peak without getting suppressed and then get smoked.
