Add new "prone mechanic" machineguns to all factions! (balanced examples)

Hello comrades!

The new machinegun mechanic for the american BR: IV Browning might be a “nerfed version” but is definetly a really interesting feature! One MG with that mechanic should be added for all factions in the tech tree:

Germany: Bergmann MG15 N.a.

An iconic german MG which did not only get used during WWI. It got many fans which would be happy to see it added.

USSR: DS-39 MG

The DS-39 MG is already in Enlisted, attached to the soviet premium motorcycle squad. So it would be easy to add for this unique mechanic!

Japan: Type 92 (97 round drum)

A perfect (not captured) addition for japan, fitting perfectly for the new MG mechanic.

Perfectly balanced:

All of those machineguns have:

  • medium rate of fire
  • to be fired from mounted or prone position (Bipod/optimized grip)
  • a 100 round belt / 97 round drum magazine

Should these machineguns be added ?

  • Yes
  • No

It is a very fun and realistic mechanic, for those who would like to NOT run around with RPDs, Stingers and MG-81s…

I’d want to see the guns added to the game, but the prone/bipod mechanic is very annoying. Mounting on many surfaces, especially windows, is inconsistent, and your view is often blocked by grass when you lay down. I think with how arcade like so many aspects of the game is, this mechanic was, in general, a bad decision.

The prone mechanic doesn’t work in enlisted. Ur trying to slow down fights which the game isn’t balanced around. Either these guns are useless or break the entire balance. Not to mention they’re incredibly defender sided.

This feature is poorly implemented already, I don’t know why I’d want to see more of it.

The mechanic just doesn’t work in Enlisted. The bots, the thing actually making Enlisted special, simply don’t work with it, they don’t know what to do.

The guns are nice and I’d like to see them in some capacity but this isn’t it.

If they implement some kind of pseudo hip fire like what the flamethrowers have, like some others have suggested, i could see these in game. There would still probably be some work to get the AI to use them properly, but it would be a start.

Yes, but without this mechanic

I am all in favor of adding machine guns, but for my self, I would not be in favor if they were prone shooting only. Shooting from the hip would be fine.

If only the game had actually taken into account bipod and magazine rest standoff from mounted surface…

I did not mean to make it sound like i am discussing the mechanic itself. I meant that if it already gets added, it would be a nice thing to balance out all factions…

Only if they fix the prone mechanics should these guns be added
