AT weapons should be fired while proning or using weapon’s bipod, it’s kinda OP (and quite unrealistic tbf) to shoot a 2 m long weapon while standing. And I’m not complaining about them, 'cause I use them a lot (one of my favourite weapon types), I’m just saying it to add a bit of realism (despite the unrealism of this game). And I know, I know, bipods work terribly, but at least to use them not as a normal weapon, but as a 12 kg weapon (avg).
EDIT: Also, as suggested by @gastanofrizzi, while proning or using the bipod, weapon should have less dispersion, and less recoil.

Maybe if the dispersion, fire angle and recoil are revamped wen bipoed, if it become exactly how you suggest now, at rifle would become very harsh to use

You’re right, one more thing to add to the suggestion!

No, bipods are broken as hell, I do not want to try to mount a 2m long gun if I can’t even mount an MG properly. Apart from that AT rifles are super situational niece weapons and I don’t see the point of neerfing them.

Then AT rifles could be buffed to make them more useful.
Also I just realised that there is a chance devs will add breakable vision ports in the “near” future. That would be a nice soft buff for AT rifles.
I love AT rifles. I love ammo racking br1-br3 tanks
But as long as the bipod keeps putting my gun in the window frame, i think it needs to be the way it is lol

Visibility? Nah lemme just yoink that real quick before I destroy your engine. Lol

And if we think about this twice we see that most MGs in the game are over 10kg some even over 12kg so why not constrain them too to be bipod only. You see where this is going.

Many MGs should be usable from bipod only.
I’ve been suggesting this for 2-3y now.
Sadly mounting mechanic is too shit for that and devs don’t care.

I wonder what would happen if they implemented such a thing after fixing all the issues it would have. How many people would be crying about the BAR being shoulder fired while they were locked to a bipod?

I wrote “many” not “all”. BAR, chauchaut, bren and some other would be still shoulder fired. See BFV for reference.

That’s what I’m saying. How many Krauts would start whining about being nerfed because we can shoulder fire?
Would be kinda sad that the M1919A6 wouldn’t be shouldered though. It was one of the heaviest “LMG’s” in the war. Lol. Heck it’s an MMG for all intents and purposes, so it is what it is
IF such a change was to be implemented, I figure I’d probably drop down to the M1918A2 just so I don’t have to change my play style. I love being aggressive

Then they could get a buff. Like even less recoil, better accuracy, suppression, longer belts or in case of germans superior overheat management (because I’d like to see it too).
Funnly enough when BFV came out those weapons were amongst the most OP ones with MG42 on top. (And of course they got nerfed to SMG level of damage.)
That’s kind of the point of all of this.
If you want to be agresive, you can take a shotgun, SMG, AR or shoulder fired LMG. If you want to be a bit more static you can take MMG, sniper, mortar or engineer.
Variety of options and playstyles (something this game pretends to be good at but isn’t).

It sure would be interesting to see, that’s for darn certain

Yeah.
But imo there are very low chances devs will implement this (next to 0). It would F up (retarded) full mg premium squads.

That it would. Lol. Consider your flexibility, revoked

I do see where this is going, but there’s history of MG’s being fired from the hip… But not with AT rifles, you see where we’re going?
Yep, there have been moments where certain soldiers fired them from the hip, but it’s crazy to shoot something like that without any bipod and/or cover.

BAR WAS fired without bipod, this one and some others (as mentioned by Voyo) were able to be used without it.
That’s…what I’m saying
