If engineers could create a HMG buildings?

I don’t play engineers squad so idk about the balancment and effectiveness of this type of construction

(BTW I stole the Idea from coh2)

I don’t see it being much more effective than a normal MG nest we have now. A M2 .50 cant kill many if any tanks in game and it would immediately get hammered by snipers, aircraft, tanks and mortars like the currently do. Now if we had half tracks and other early or light skinned armor it could be very useful

it might even be worse, because of its slower rate of fire

The problem is this game skipped all the early light vehicles like scout cars and half tracks and jumped right into medium tanks which I think was a mistake.

The need to divide the progress in veichle/infantry if not i see the possibility of a wipe.

Even if they add half tracks later it will have to be as an infantry squad much like motorcycles or else no one will bother. Why use a half track when I can take a Panther?

Especially if you have 1 vehicle slot.

Yeah which sucks. They should of added more infantry support vehicles but instead they wanted to cater more to the War Thunder crowd and add tank after tank

Imo current MG nests should be changed to HMGs.
UK- Vickers
SU - Maxim
US - .30 cal or maybe .50 cal
Ge - MG34 or MG42 on tripod

Makes sense and looks nice.

Pretty solid list. I wish they would fix it already

well, as i played ( and somewhat, still play :slight_smile: ) COH2,

i’m not really sure what are you talking about.

do you mean the normal Ostheer Heavy Machinegun ? the one that comes with the squad and a tripod?

or you mean the Bunker that can be build by enginner ( which it’s a trench more than a bunker ) with a machinegun?.

like the wooden bunker that spawn with your base

with a 30/50 cal mg

i think they were of the oberkommando and wehrmacht

14

yeah, basically with the Ostheer.
these ones:

bunker_1

( as the OKW had flak positions )
okw-small-flak-position

yeah, i think those could work.

perhaps allows you to walk in the lower levels ( similar to the shovel ).

for engy type 3 could work.
and get every faction their own.

problem is, is going to be a nightmare for the placing as it can be quite big.

but, it’s a plus one from me.

Why?

16

i dont like them?

17

a few reasons
-possible limit to 3 sqads
-there are arguable better squad bonuses(frequent arty)
-better squads witm more better units(max 3 MG gunners for MG squads, 4 assaulters…)
-for most people regular engineers are enough

I think MG building could be engineer upgrade I want the 50 Cal or whatever it is called in game, all other WW2 titles have it, I also hate building mg42 when allied

You don’t like helping your team? You like being selfish?

I would love the idea of building a bunker with a cal 50 and suppress all the enemies, but probably it will get bombarded, flanked, and run over by a tank as soon as you finished it.
