The reason no one uses the machine gun that the engineer can build is because it’s useless on any map… You can’t build one in a building window because you can’t aim it down.
Any “good” area for a machine gun has some point that prevents you from doing so.
Historically, both the Germans and the Allies (especially the Germans) placed machine guns everywhere, from roofs, bell ringers (those of the church), windows, etc.
But in this game you hardly see any because it has no use in the areas it should.
was actually about to point out the engineer squad lmg is more accurated on longer ranges.
Thought it was some sort of universal thing but apparently its only germut buildable lmg’s
You need an Engineer II or Premium squad to build them. Meanwhile, all Gunner squads can make an HMG, if I am not mistaken. And a Premium Gunner can build both.
They can’t penetrate light armored vehicles.
They deal way less damage.
They die way faster.
They sometimes have worse angles.
They have the same accuracy, excluding the MG131.
They sometimes shoot slower or have about the same roof as their counterpart.
Overheat at about the same time, excluding M1919/ M2.
So why build one when you can switch to a Gunner and still build rallies?
