~50kg shouldnt really be a problem to any military person to hold.
Lets put it this way, if you can hammer a pak40 out of thin air il find a person capable to hold solothurn with single hand, deal ?
You can lift it off the ground with both hands and carry it some distance, or sling it over your shoulder and walk a few steps. But you can’t lift it with outstretched arms, aim the barrel parallel to the ground, bring the sights to your eyes, and not turn into this after the first shot.
Spoiler
not even remotely same thing but quite difficult task to find ppl lifting solothurn since its been obsolete gun for quite sometime.
Anyway, hows the magic hammer department going on ?
Now show me how this guy shoots a Type 97.
Sure thing, ive just received shipment of 3 type 97, it was bonus for ordering cat food.
Lucky I got this guy on speed dial.
So have you found the magic hammer guy yet ?
I can show you the mounts and vehicles that deliver materials behind the scenes.
Aren’t you tired of doing this yet? Let me take a break on sleep and get back to our conversation in 8-10 hours.
Behind what scenes ? Ive seen plenty of engineers building what ever from behind and no vehicles appear.
Pretty sure theres nothing to discuss.
Was just genuinely intrested where you draw the line with what is plausible and what not.
If the devs want to slow down the pace of the game then there’s ways to do that that don’t involve making weapons completely unviable because of a needlessly forced limitation.

Or just shooting and ADS forces soldier into crouch (could argue slow walk like for flamethrower too) without shouldering the weapon (leave crouch automatically on ceasing fire/“aiming”). If the vanilla game is forever going to be too high pace for force to prone weapons.
I like the Solothurn, but refuse to use it since it is prone only, which will be the same with these MG’s, I just won’t use them.
Dev’s just like to micromanage. 
Yes, these are gameplay conventions that are unavoidable. I can accept that the engineers were delivered the cannon somewhere off-screen and installed it. Regarding the hammer, the developers should have created a more logical and convincing animation for installing the weapon. But they’re either too poor or too greedy for that. However, for a person firing a 50-kg cannon with their arms outstretched, it’s impossible to come up with a logical justification. This isn’t a gameplay convention, because nothing prevents the developers from adding a bipod-only mechanic.
I suggest that if heavy machine guns that require a support position to fire should have their damage increased, wouldn’t that be better? Similar to the feeling of a Deshka heavy machine gun
Give him an attack power of 15 or 17.
About 30 meters. With a single shot, 50 meters can be taken down. That’s enough.
FUCK YES, thanks for say it
so 2 midgets standing top of each other off camera to hold the end of gun is not plausible.
But you got imagination that there conveniently was lying around in forrest couple pak40’s or they were delivered with magical off-camera truck that is not visible for builder as well as for no one else either.
Gotcha
Yeah, no.
Yes. Because invisible dwarfs didn’t take part in World War II.
But invisible trucks did ?

They won’t remove it for a very simple reason. The whole “bipod only” thing is used by devs’ as a show of their effort into the game. Hey, players, we have added a new mechanic to the game. Wow wow wow, check our fantastic update, who says we don’t care about the game. Impact nade, white phosphorus nade, bombing run, aircraft carrier, partisans, and so on. Just another pointless addition for the sake of adding something to the game.
This off-screen / off-camera sht could just as well apply to 2 magic midgets.
Since if only thing you are concerned of is what you see on your screen.
Kinda did already explain that everyone else just sees you hammering air.
