LMG's and Knives

Are you playing lone fighter?

yes, i only play that

Yea me too. But this means you’re styling on mostly bots with a mg and call it op for that.

even with players i have experienced such.
also im south asian so ping is probably 200-250+

rarely play another one. once or twice in every third day
this wasnt the case when i had semi auto.

something definitely isnt right about lmg

Well it has enormous killing potential and should have. But only if used somewhat reasonable. I often see others who just get sniped with their mgs before they even fire it. Standing up and shooting is somewhat overtuned, but not gamebreaking in my opinion. I’d rather have an enemy team with mostly mgs over planespam.

Now, go get shot then respawn IRL.

They were, regardless how mad that makes u.

Haha, so the OP is complaining about MG’s, they make you run super slow, and firing down sites while standing/crouching is actually terrible. The mounted mg42 in the bunkers have a lot of spread which increases as the barrel gets hotter. The ai’s don’t know how to mount weapons, so they walk around ads with lmg’s. It’s sad but unfortunate lol. Anyways, how bout this : main-qimg-53d0f11c56dd34b6aa2cd6303a59101e

If you run with MG and are firing you should have X chance of tripping and dropping your gun.

this part can be gotten rid off by just pulling out your knife

Or with one cheap perk.

Yea sure, but you can’t fire back with your knife can you? You can use it to reposition faster, but no more shoot so I can’t see a problem with that.

maybe we shouldn’t run faster when we run with knife. We still carring an MG42 and the weight is the same

The weight stays the same, but holding a gun while runing makes runing harder. If you put the gun on the back it gets easier. Test it in real life if you don’t belive me. In addition to this it makes a diffrence where the weight is on your body. The closer the weight is to your body the easier it is to carry.

it doesn’t take long to switch from the knife if you get to your destination, and the knife is also an insta down and i believe an insta kill with the 100% melee perk

I suppose so but in reality some people just run around all game knife only - not when it’s necessary or easier to knife.

I complain that children use them a lot because on Conquest they just die over and over using up their spawns left, and on Invasion / Assault they use up the tickets by dying over and over. I don’t care if they wanna waste their time - but others shouldn’t be penalised by having someone who does nothing on their team instead of someone competent.

MG’s are exactly like planes. No skill. Planes can drop bombs literally anywhere on the map and blow everyone up - the only skilful part is actually flying it. MG’s can fire 1000s of rounds a minute so even if you miss, it’s like you never did by how quickly you chamber up the next shot and can adjust the aim - or you can do an Enlist noob thing of drop-shotting or jumping 100 feet in the air - with an MG and you’re just never gonna die.

Getting better weapons over time is a good thing yes- but with a free game like Enlisted all you see right now are Pay2Winners with MGs and the rest of the people getting rekt because of it.

IMO they should’ve just waited a little bit after game release before allowing purchasing of campaign tiers, so that P2Wers couldn’t zoom as far a head as it’d give F2P devotees an actual chance to still get to a similar level.

That’s… how MGs tended to work though. You either ambushed them or mowed them down from a distance - or you’d get killed because you’d be lugging around one of the heaviest guns out there in a fluid combat zone.

That’s why MG’s are positioned in bunkers resting on the wall, or on top of tanks and vehicles where they have more stability - or by lying down deploying the bi or tripod.

It’s not unrealistic to make it so you can’t move whilst firing an LMG. They don’t necessarily have to make you lay down, just crouching would make it 100x more realistic than what it is now.

They don’t make you run that slow - especially as pulling out a lighter weapon makes you faster as someone else said.

Firing down sights whilst standing is not that difficult with them, as literally everyone else agrees unless you shoot them from afar or play it smart you’re screwed by how accurate they are.

I’m not talking about bunker MG’s here. I believe they are okay for now, especially with the aforementioned overheat system.

As for the photo you’ve put - yes they can be shot at a few-round bursts whilst standing, but try doing what some players do with an MG-42, in real life. You can’t. You just can’t jump around like a bunny getting more accurate shots than a bolt-action standing still. But people are able to do that in the game due to it’s lack of weight consequences.
