Testing the major update

[SzepWaxweiler]

yeah I think they will

[noktinnky_noktin]

with how hard is it to find stat for japan gun (not to mention the possibility of mistranslation) i could understand they finding wrong document and put 400 instead of 720

[Conscript_Joe]

Aaaawwwe yeah! It’s the good turret!!!

I wonder if the Ju uses the 20mm one.

@Wotz

Did you use it already? How much damage it does and how good are the sights?

Same damage and sight as the Hei Rifle, but it has the weird effect of the bolt going up and obstructing your sight when you shoot.

It will be food for T20 rifle.

[noktinnky_noktin]

bro the Achilles fire randomly for some reason that scare me ngl

[SzepWaxweiler]

But

@Killerwolf1024

Should be noted that there is also a 30 round magazine, I’ll post the gif I made again which shows the 30 round mag.

I’ll give some other stats since people are interested in this gun a lot and there sometimes is just plain wrong info on them

(Translated and discussed with a friend of mine)
Name: Ultra-Light Machine gun
Manufacturer: Nippon Special Steel
Length: 1,007mm,
Weight: 5.4/5.6kg
Action: Toggle-lock, closed bolt
Sight: Aperture rear sight with tangent leaf, adjusted by a drum.
Rate of fire: 720rpm
Bayonet lug: yes
Selector switch: Three position (safe, semi and full) selector lever
Reload: by changing mag or loading with clips
Magazine Capacity: 20 round (30 round mag was made as well)
Recoil: worse than Type 96 LMG, but better than infantry rifle.
Overheat: cook offs often occurred
Muzzle velocity: 730m/s
Accuracy: Worse than Type 96 LMG firing in semi at 300 and 700 meters, even with shield attached. Firing in auto at 300 meters, all rounds were in a 4×4m2 square except the first round
Magazin release position:

If you wonder what the “bar” right in front of the magazine is, our best understanding is that its a dust cover that could be closed when you remove the magazine.

Where normally LMGs would be issued one per squad (分隊) the Ultra-light machine gun would be issued two per squad. We’re not sure if it was crew served but we assume it wasn’t.

You telling me as a community we found the right RPM and DF couldn’t I doubt this was most likely deliberate the post is from 83 days ago

@Comet92220

the bolt going up and obstructing your sight when you shoot.

Toggle lock system used on Lugar and pedersen rifle since type Hei was kinda a copy of Pederson rifle the automatic version also has that

[Adamnpee]

It’s exactly as I thought. The ersatz m10 has better visibility than classic Panther.

[noktinnky_noktin]

i mean even i cant find these so idk man

[noktinnky_noktin]

Achilles APDS seem good so far gonna try it on KT

[Adamnpee]

You can penetrate turret cheeks and MG port, I already tried.

[樱花桂冠]

400RPM’s Japanese automatic rifle? NICE JOKE DF.

[iso_seppo123]

The new lvt 4. It has horn btw

Shitty shooting view

[NonNational]

Honestly, you can’t see anything when you shooting automatically.

[Conscript_Joe]

Lol!

That’s because it’s “made in usa” (not really I know)

[iso_seppo123]

Pershing gunner and commander view

It can pen tiger 2h with apcr

It took me couple of shots to detonate the ammo

[noktinnky_noktin]

man im so gonna change to Achilles when it arrive

[Adamnpee]

Why does it show type 100 MG has 50/50 rounds? It is suppose to show 100/100.

It completely ignores the fact that it has two barrels. And if I click once, two bullets fly out. But UI is only -1 bullet.
