So the Germans get a modified aircraft MG for their final MG
The Japanese get 2 modified aircraft MG’s slapped together for their final MG
The USMC Stinger is much like these two MG’s. A modified aircraft MG. It would make sense looking at the two factions the US fights to give them the literal counterpart to these MG’s. Our modified aircraft MG

Our sights have been fixed before and they can be fixed again. Honestly I’d just love to have it

yea i guess they could do what they did to vicker mg from that para squad and change it before release (cause the current sight in editor block everything)

And there’s literally 0 reason to not add it. My logic lines up perfectly. If 2/4 factions have an aircraft MG in their trees, why not add the most iconic modified aircraft MG to the other faction?

…they are aircraft MGs right,but they arent that great of MGs either,the MG15 has an excessive ROF,BS dispersion,slow reload for only a 75 round magazine,and sights that IMO are obnoxious.the type 100 has similar problems,slow reload for a magazine,BS dispersion,obnoxious AA sights,but has 100 (2 per shot so really 50) rounds and a okay fire rate.The stinger is a 200 round M1919,full rifle caliber, with a much higher fire rate with the only down side being the sights,and using this in the editor is a good way to convey this well.maybe if germany gets somthing comparable in preformance,but the 1919 is a fine MG,preformance =/= fire rate.

You just jealous we wore it better. You think the recoil on an aircraft M1919 ain’t gonna be absolutely atrocious? Plus, the ammo can is welded on. You got 200 rounds in that can and then what? Good luck putting the belt back in that thing. Reload’s going to be HORRIBLE IF we have another belt at all
So excessive RoF (like the MG 15)
Recoil out the rear because 30-06 at 1200-1500 RoF is gonna kick harder than a mule
And realistically the worst reload IF a reload at all
Imo 1919 is the best MG in the game right now (based on pure stats so I may be wrong) so imo gib me MG42 with 100-200 rounds and it’s actual rof, and then we can talk about stinger.

Yeah that’s still stupid how your MG’s are arbitrarily capped at 50 and 75 rounds

And I will agree with you, M1919A6 slaps. Doesn’t mean I don’t want more. Stinger has a certain sex appeal to it I just can’t ignore. And again, the logic lines up. If other factions get their aircraft MG’s, then why not the Allies as well?

i mean it might be the fact that the stinger were made from 3 gun so it look long and nice looking
Bad idea. Only 6 Stingers were made. It should be an event reward or gold order weapon.
And there were like 0-2 [however this jap TD is called] so number build is not really a valid argument.
Though I agree it should be GO/event.

oh man i can imagine them as premium tbh i mean 5 men with stinger holy fire rate (beside im pretty sure the bot are better with mg so that would be good i guess)
and did US ever get a premium end game MG squad? i dont remember one
Remind me how many Ho-Ri’s were made again? Or shoot even how many MG 15’s and whatever the Jap one is called were modified?
The “numbers” argument is out the window. Shoot, the “existing prototype” argument is out the window. They may as well add the T32! It was the only American heavy prototype that wasn’t built till after the war, but it was a concept during the war! So they should add the T29, T30, T32, and T34. 29, 30, and 34 all being foldered or one being a Preemie or whatever, and the T32 being the new end game tank. After all, numbers are out the window

And none of the two shoots where the sight points.

You know, I was about to say sounds like a issue with the developers, but I thought about it for longer than a second. You’re gonna borderline redneck rig two guns together with the barrels about an inch apart if not more and perfectly parallel with each other, and then mount a sight in the dead center of the two. Nah duh the bullets don’t go where the sight is. The sight is offset from where the barrels are pointing. Let’s say the barrels are X distance from each other. Ok, so the center sight is making it so one barrel is 1/2X to the right of the sight, and one barrel is 1/2X to the left of the sight. Nah duh they ain’t going where the sight is because they aren’t aligned to the sight. The only reason airplanes don’t suffer this is because the guns in the wings are angled inward. So after a certain distance all the rounds converge on a single point. Without that angle, the rounds never converge
Honestly this is just an inherent flaw in the design of the gun itself and something that you as a player will just have to compensate for if you want to use the gun effectively. I don’t see how this in any way affects my argument
MG15 sucks and the Type 100 is bugged as well.
And what about the Soviets?

I can’t help that American grunts are the best at redneck engineering. I just see an argument to use as an excuse to add the Stinger and I’m gonna use it
What about the Soviets?
I don’t think we should even mention Japan’s DUCT TAPED mg contraption… have you tried it?
…
You basically need to empty the weapon of all it’s rounds to hit one target at around 50m…
It’s a meme weapon, but unlike others that are br 1, that one is br5 (or 4?). I’m not joking, I’d almost prefer the Madsen instead of it.
