The LMG nerf is a complete disaster. Low level LMG’s are totally useless. Cannot hit anything (only when it is mounted). I can shoot only one bullet at the time (using it as a bolt action rifle) and still miss a lot, recoil is bigger then on the tank cannon. These weapons role to provide supress fire, pin down enemy, etc. Just check how many people using the low level LMG squads in the game…

Low lvl lmgs where bad pre nerf and the nerf made them worse.
Not at all. Right now the game feels balanced after the lmg and bomb nerf. I see a lot of lmg guys laying prone and giving supressing fire. Before the nerf I have never seen it, they where all just rushing forward. To me the lmg nerf feels completely justified.
They however could give a fix to the bipots so that they work better and easier. Should help a ton.

Agree, game feels kinda balanced since the last nerfs, but normandy LMG´s , stil need some buff XD
Well, at least breda was useless even before the update.
MG34 full auto on move.
MG34 semi / short bursts on move.
Take note that I’m bad shooter.
Yes, but not from the shoulder let alone in the move. Exceptions were BAR and Chauchat from what we have in game (both of those weapons shouldn’t have lower acuracy when moving imo.)
U S E B I P O D !
Only negative about this change is that bipods weren’t improved beforehand.

Only the first 2 lmgs really need buffs of any kind in Normandy

BREDA 30
Although distinctive in appearance, the Breda 30 was widely viewed as a poorly designed weapon. It had a low rate of fire, low magazine capacity, used sometimes unreliable 6.5×52mm and 7.35×51mm ammunition and was highly prone to stoppages. The vital oiling system was very susceptible to allowing dust and debris to get into the action system, making the weapon unreliable in combat conditions. Though the magazine system was designed with the rationale that the feed lips on a detachable magazine are prone to damage, the Breda’s sole magazine could also become disabled if the hinges or latches were damaged, and the slit on the top for viewing the ammunition count provided another avenue for debris to enter and jam the magazine.
The Breda’s rear and fore sight were both on the gun body, so only one barrel could be zeroed and any spare barrels would, when installed, invariably lead to decreased accuracy without re-zeroing the sights. The magazine was loaded using 20-round stripper clips, which were known to be fragile, especially in combat conditions. In North Africa, the weapon’s full-auto mode was nearly unusable: desert sand and dust caused the weapon to jam continuously, with the oil used in the cartridge lubrication only exaggerating this problem. Because of its highly frequent jamming and stoppages, the Breda, despite being a machine gun, was more comparable to a semi-automatic rifle in terms of fire output. In the Balkans, Eastern Front and other theatres of war, the weapon achieved slightly better results.
Low magazine capacity, frequent jamming and the complicated barrel change made firing and reloading a slow and laborious process, resulting in the Breda 30 being a weapon only capable of laying down a diminutive amount of firepower and making it a very modest contributor to a firefight. When considering all of the gun’s deficiencies, taken during combat when it was at its worst, the practical rate of fire of the Breda 30 could even have been comparable to a semi-automatic weapon’s practical rate of fire, as the standard American rifle was (the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine) and the later German Gewehr 43.
Although considerably flawed when compared to its contemporaries, the Breda 30 was still considered the deadliest weapon of the standard Italian infantryman’s arsenal, since heavy machine guns were seen in relatively small numbers and submachine guns such as Beretta Model 38 were very rare. The Breda 30 along with the Carcano rifle made up the backbone of the Italian infantry armament during the Second World War. Field reports on the weapon were of mixed nature: the Breda’s very low rate of fire often resulted in a turning of the tide during a firefight against Italian soldiers; however, the Breda 30, in most occasions, was the fastest and most helpful weapon available. The Italian army attempted to counter the Breda’s defects by stressing the importance of the loader’s role: every soldier was trained to eventually be a Breda 30 loader and taught how to rapidly feed one ammunition strip after another (this was not always possible, as with Breda 30s mounted on motorcycles). Careful polishing was also carried out frequently with extra attention being paid to the Breda’s lubrication system and ammunition availability.

The LMG nerf really didn’t do anything to change the game at all except make it a bit easier to kill people with high RPM MGs in CQC while hipfiring.
To nerf MGs in cqc we would need weapon colision models to be implemented.
But judging by how much CoD kids don’t like nerf of their ARs, I doubt it will ever be implemented.
Just make them swing around like the Madsen even in hipfire and the recoil only diminishes while prone/mounted
Boom, solved
How random swiling is better than random bullet dispersion?
(I don’t have madsen so I have to guess a bit what you mean.)
now we have less people uses LMG as SMG.
Actually barley noticed the LMG changes. Of course I never did use lmgs for run and gun before the changes.

those who feel it is the ones who rambo entire building.
Madsen points at the sky after a half dozen rounds
That’s much harder to run n gun with than a bigger cone of fire to OHK people
