If Machine gunners get HMGs then the lighter version of them, the assaulters should get generic MGs.
And why is that? The MG nests are useless anyway. And you’ll be much more effective with your assault weapon.
And if you want to play MG, just get a normal MG squad and use a bipod.
MG nests are now extremely outdated and underperforming. Just the fact that you can destroy them with one shot is really ridiculous. It takes you longer to build it than for how long you actually end up shooting with it.
I build MG nests pretty frequently, especially on more open maps like some parts of Berlin and Moscow where I can build them further away and pretty much snipe everyone wtih MG bursts on open objectives.
Okay, if it makes your day, I will certainly support your suggestion.
But I really didn’t expect there would be anyone who would like these MG nests.
Personally, I find them extremely impractical and overall bad.
I like to send soldiers to grab points after parachuting and setting up the spawn point
Then use machine gun bunkers to intercept the enemy on the side of the enemy’s route

In arcade FPS, SMG and MG seem to only differ in firepower and mobility, but assaulters (should) be used for assault MG gunners (should) be used for defense and fire support.
So my opinion is: No, assaulters has nothing to do with the MG nest.
I mean this is enlisted, MG’s are basically big assault rifles or they’re shit, and your squadmates are useless.
