Should heavy MGs be able to ADS only when prone/bipoded?

No it´s not you can walk in a building and pretty quickly navigate it and kill everything. If you don´t agree that´s cool it´s just a problem a lot of people and I have.

I don´t know what you´re trying to say so I´ll skip this point

Not just those videos but footage from back then aswell

Had forgotten that maniac completely all heil FPSRussia

Aight, i shall wait for your evidence from WW2 walking shooting being prohibited.

That doesn´t even make sense? You mean written evidence? Why should it be prohibited? It´s a very situational move that is a last resort type of thing. You want me to look for a video where someone gets shot doing it and use it as evidence for my point?

I mean you can try walking towards the enemy shooting your LMG from the hip and see how that works out for you. You´re also gonna realise that LMGs where not designed for CQB fighting real quick.

This is where the game and IRL are quite different. If im spraying with mg42 down on corridor while walking I highly doubt theres anyone with such balls of steel that he would peak on me.
As we dont have such fear of death ingame or even suppression theres no need for your “requested” nerfs.

I really struggle do even comprehend your logic. I really do. I want a shooting move speed penalty so LMG that aren´t stuff like the BARs, and Bren can walk in a building while spraying down everything and quickly clear every room. That´s litteraly all I want and I don´t see what the problem is. Room clearing should be something for SMGs, explosives and Flamethrowers but not LMGs.

Also someone would probably throw a grenade in your face. But since throwables don´t bounce a lot that tactic would´t work. Especially since you could just walk up to me and pre fire me with any LMG in the game

Hardly is my logic, its you who brought the QQ about “Cant be done irll bawwbaww” into topic and you have been proven constantly wrong.

Yeah, and I simply couldnt throw a grenade at you and still pin you down by spraying with MG.

I don´t remember ever doing that. I kept repeating my point over and over and over again. My point wich has nothing to do with what you all think it is. You´re all literally seeing what you want rather than what is actually there.

The game is so fast paced that rushing the enemy with an automatic weapon is usually more effective. Especially an MG42 wich shoots so fast that the other person doesn´t have many options except throwing explosives at you or shooting you from behind.

I think the real problem is that the practical difficulty of handling a weapon so long and heavy in CQB is hard to model in-game. You can’t catch the barrel on a door frame or table and the gun handles with the same inertial mass as an smg.

Large guns are inherently more awkward to handle and that is what needs to be modeled in some way

Really ? Could have sworn you had plenty of “IRL” arguments.

Pretty sure its same with any automatics, who ever fires first most likely wins.

Well the suppression effect of LMG’s aint modeled either so I hardly think its necessary to do anything for LMG just because of “IRL”

Everyone circlejerking with pictures and videos of dudes letting loose from the hip with LMGs have yet to post one from an actual combat environment.

Nobody is saying that it is physically impossible to fire from the hip. I get it, it can be done. Cool.

It’s stupid for gameplay reasons, and cheeses CQB. Technically, one could akimbo PPS-42’s but we don’t see people clamoring for that in-game just because it is physically feasible.

Unfortunately theres quite little combat footage of WW2, probably because wehrmacht was running out of go-pro supplies. How ever, theres plenty of evidence such firing was taught to soldiers.

For that exact gameplay reason I dont see any reason to nerf LMG and make it a stationary weapon.

That´s true, they didn´t. Especially not like you can do ingame on a regular basis.

There´s that shooting move speed again, wich you appearently still can´t comprehend the meaning of.

Why would you send LMGs to do an SMGs job outside of obvious exceptions?

No otherwise you wouldn´t have people complaining about the PPDs and PPSH lol

Your whole argument seems to be that lmgs can be fired from the hip “IRL”, so dismissing counterpoints on that basis seems a little hypocritical.

It sounds like you just want lmgs to be assault rifles, and that’s fine, just stick to that reason and don’t throw out strawman arguments

BFV aiming system is random where the barrel shoots because they don’t want to make sure you shoot like a real Machine Gun
This is typical to most popular FPS Shooters

you reminded me of this:

notice the number of empty casings on the road.lol

did he get any Kills?

enough to call a uav on the kill streak.

Completely irrelevant was it done often or not.
This is a game not IRL simulator.

Yeah, you are already significantly slower compared to others when moving with LMG.

Again irrelevant was it done often or not, it was done.

I dont have problems against them while using LMG, who ever fires first wins.

Everyone can nitpick “IRL” arguments and disregard everythin else. Which this case is entirely so id say its quite alot more hypocritical.

Got to admit I indeed do prefer them as they are.
Eh, pointed every single “IRL” argument against the LMG’s wrong.

A video where plenty of people have said that it´s staged footage oof. Not to mention this being not a german soldier doing it.
