They should add in mg crews as part of a squads so you can have the machine gun that carry’s the gun and so ammo then the two other people in the crew carry’s the majority of the ammo and reloads the gun and change barrel and the third person can carry the a tripod and provide supporting fire will the mg is reloading. They should also make barrel change a part of the game because I know the after foreign three belts of ammo the mg42 barrel was supposed to be changed to prevent it from getting damaged. I also think that the bipods should work like they do in Verdun and I think Dispersion needs to be remove from all weapons in the game not just mg and also add bullet Physics based on environmental factors like wind rain Etc.

This obviously isn’t game for you. You want to change a whole gunplay. You should find something that will suits you more. I don’t like yout suggested changes, I like current state.
No, he wants to change one weapon class.
Don’t be overdramatic.

As I said, his suggestion is terrible and doesn’t suits the game at all.
“Dispersion needs to be remove from all weapons” Doesn’t sounds like he want to change one weapon class. Why are you lying?
90% of the post is about sth else.
And dispersion is shit that should be heavily limited anyway.

Agreeing on the dispersion.
Not with the MG gunner squads and specific rules although it would fit better reality.
Problem is:
Bots are still dumb and considered as canon fodder in my books of course.
Imagine you are laying in a good position, having success. Now you need a barrel change or more ammo but your bot gets stuck, killed because of bad pathfinding.
All in all the game is too fast for your suggestion as well.
on the ammo part, can’t you already asked for ammo from your AI companion? any kind of ammo in any squad even. though only when you ran out of all bullet. and only once every… 10 second? 15 second?
did that when i was camp sniping in tunisia and i have effectively infinite ammo there.
on bipods, pretty sure there’s at least a dozen other thread basically asking “make bipod actually works”. so i guess… be patient or something iunno.
not sure why you want to add the hassle of barrel change for the game. feels kinda like an overly complicated overheat mechanic, but for portable gun.
on the AI companion providing supporting fire, they uh, they’re already supposed to do that. they fucking sucks at that though.
also hell the fuck no on the bullet physics for handheld weapons. not sure how feasible that even for an online game, but even if its feasible it sounds way too annoying anyway.
Solution is simple: no bots = slower action.
So you can always change the barrel etc. you will simply do it slower.

I still consider the lmg squads rather useless.
Sure the current HMG gives them atleast some sort of purpose but generally theyr pretty useless.
Bipod, stamina, deviation and what else id say the lmg squads has the shortest stick when choosing squads.
So no, im not really fan of making them more useless than they currently are.
It is just an idea on how you could get enlisteds squad Mechanic to work more historically accurate
Enlisted is too fast paced for chances like that.
And I think your chances would‘t be fun to play.
