I think they should make it hip-fire when you don’t prone/bipod
We’ll see what they do, but I doubt it will be a competitive MG, especially if you get uptiered. Enlisted’s gameplay is too fast paced for guns like this, given how no other MG needs to be mounted to shoot. Works well when defending, probably, will be awful when attacking.
I also think they should make it very accurate, so that way, when you do use the bipod, you get a crazy advantage. This would give it a niche to fill.
My biggest issue with the combined tree is it would make no sense to have Americans running around in a hypothetical Battle of France, or any campaign pre-Pearl Harbor. It would obviously take some work, but I think it’s essential for the game’s lifespan.
I’ve always wanted to fight in the Battle of Norway in any WW2 game (that’s not a strategy game, of course).
