-remove dispersion
-add weight and high recoil that nobody can use them like they are ast rifles
-manuel bipod doesnt work and devs couldnt implement any working bipod mechanic since the beginning
so solution is auto bipod
if devs need reference, just copy this (isonzo bipod and recoil mechanics) :
isonzo mg system is nearly perfect
cant be used like smg unless you are too near to enemy, recoilsways gun too much (as it should be)
weight and recoil doesnt allow yo to move fast while firing so no run n gun bs
My experience with it has been quite enjoyable because it can be placed we’re ever you want and it doesn’t kick you out of your position once you have been sitting there more than three seconds. And when using this system the gun doesn’t move but the person does like in real life
No, the weight of these weapons stopped LMGs from having much recoil.
The only LMGs that had a lot of recoil was the M1941 Johnson LMG, and the only reason the Johnson had as much recoil as it did was the short bolt travel that caused the bolt to slam into the back of the receiver at high speeds, the weapon was rather light as well.
But the weight should be increased drastically, none of these weapons can be carried as long as they are in game without a rest, ive handled a BAR M1918A3 and it became a burden to handle in less than a minute.
I’ve also held a MG-34 and it wasn’t as heavy as i thought, but i could definitely see it would become a burden quickly.
