New squad?

Suggestions
1

i think it would be a great idea to add a new type of squad as a weapons team squad
armed with eithers lmgs/mmgs/hmgs on bipods, mortars both large and small, at guns, flak guns and light arty

  • squad sizes range from 4-7
  • equipment is immoveable when only one soldier is left
  1. lmgs/mmgs/hmgs would work via a MG and a bipod
  • ai can be ordered to place the bipod or the player themselves can place it - then the gun is mounted to the bipods again by a AI order or the player
  • the russians could also get a maxim and a DShK both on a two-wheeled mounting with shield
  1. mortars would basically stay the same but
  • mortar oprations would be a two man job one to shot(player) and one to reload (AI)
  • ammo for the mortar would be supplied by the loader, thus one would no longer be able to restock mortar ammo by ammo crate
  1. at gun squads
    at guns should come in both light and medium, smaller guns are much more controllable and have faster speeds when moving, light at guns also reload faster
    light - medium
  • 2-pounder / 6 pounder, the 2 pounder would have a longer set up by would also have 180 fire arc
  • m3 37mm/57 mm Gun M1 for the americans
  • Type 1 37 mm/ Type 1 47 mm for japan - both are quick
  • 2.8 cm sPzB 41/3.7 cm Pak 36/ 5 cm Pak 38 for germany
  1. flak gun squads
    flak guns would require a set up and have little ammo
  • german flak guns would be pushed around on a trailer, needing more space, making slower and longer to set up
  • german flak 38 my be fired without detaching from the trailer but matains a forward firing arc
  • german flak flakvierling needs to be detached from the trailer
  • flak 30 only needs a crew of 2 to be able to shot/ load while the flak vierling needs a crew of 3 and also loads slower
  • Breda 20/65 mod.35 for the Italians - quick set up
  • Madsen 20 mm cannon for the russians - quick set up
  • Oerlikon 20 mm cannon for the British - quick set up
  • type 98 20 mm -quick set up - Type 2 20 mm long set up for japan
  • 72-K for the russians - medium set up
  • M45 Quadmount for the americans shorter range then most AA guns but more ammo- quick set up time
  1. light arty (120-PM-38, 7.5 cm le.IG 18, 75mm Pack Howitzer M1, land mattress, nebel werfer)
    just the same as AT guns
  • 120-PM-38 for russia
  • 7.5 cm le.IG 18/ nebel werfer - for german
  • 75mm Pack Howitzer M1 for America
  • land mattress for the brits
    ( Goliath tracked mine ??)

yes this would need a rework of the current AT guns and mmg/hmgs but this would be a great addition to the game by bringing new features never done before

I think we can produce Maxim and MG34, MG42 (tripod), M1919A4, etc., which are set up like the mortar team, and put them in the secondary weapon slot on the back of the machine-gun soldiers, which can be used for firing and moving at any time. Press the 2 key to take out the machine gun and press the left key to put it on the ground, and then shoot.

but the gun shield

Maxim bulletproof steel plate in the Battle of Stalingrad did not have a good bulletproof effect, and it blocked the view very much. As a machine gun shelter, it can be destroyed by shooting steel plate. If it is set as a mobile machine gun, I hope he will not have such a setting that it can be destroyed by shooting steel plate.

No, why should I need so many squads when it can be done by engineer?

cuz it opens up to adding more content other then jsut adding to a already op role

You are just duplicating things, your flak squad and at gun squad are just doing what engineers did right now.

and what about all the other stuff that my suggestion would add? would you rather not have them and out of the 23 things only 3 would be copied
this would also make using a the guns alot more realistic rather then getting behind a tank and spawning a at gun out of no where
AND would also make AA guns diffent for each nation while allowing us to use them agisnt infantry with out them being OP as fuck
AND would also make hmgs less op so then we can have bullet pen back

We don’t need new squad to implement new weapon. Just make those thing can also be build by engineer. I am not against new weapon, but I am against your new squad.

You think people will prefer to move the gun all the way from spawn for the sake of realism?
It is annoying and makes the gun vulnerable during moving.

You don’t need weapon squad team to have different gun in each nation. Dev can just change the aa model for each nation. The dev is already working on unique aa for each nation. You can find those aa in the editor.

This is your section your write about mg.

So how will it make HMG become less OP?
