I don’t know nor care if this is ballanced.
Soldiers tanking 3-4 MG bullets from a tank simply look stupid. Increase the damage please.

Imagine the infantry version of DT-29 being more powerful than the tank version of the same gun.
Yeah and fix the HE ricochet too.

At the very bare minimum: remove that ridiculous overheat!

Whats wrong with it, actually?
And on what cannons?
Doesn’t have splash dmg.
Every single one beside maybe 122 mm haven’t played a lot IS-2 cuz it’s crap.

but sadly it cant be any wall aswell. most buildings im moscow are construcked out of the new patented supersoaking anti-fragmentation Bricks or wood. Meaning HE cant even splash the entire room even if if could splash that area outside…

The Japanese tank mgs are basically mp-28s. Ditto for Italy… m1919a4 and vicker are the only good ones because of sustained fire. Top 50cal is also good but you have to expose to use it.
It’s fine where it is right now. Tank MG have no recoil, very little dispersion and thousands of ammo. You can do 20 rounds burst at a target 300m away, most of the bullet will hit the target without needing any recoil control.
In addition to the MG you are also in control of a cannon, plus the protection from small arms by the armor. Tank MG doesn’t need a buff.
Type 97 does imo, it doesn’t do enough dng for such a small mag. 20mm on ab41 needs to removed overheating, for an 8 round mag it overheats halfway through, absolutely ridiculous.

At bare minimum increase Japanese tank MG damage because they’re extremely weak with slow rate of fire and small mag size. Same goes for the Italian tanks as well.
The Italian tanks also need MG reload speed buff like Japan.
Yeah, or make it realistic overheat where long sustained fire makez it overheat requiring barrel change which is very long and would temporarily disable the reloader spot as he is having to completely remove the gun to access the barrel then change it.

It is so annoying.
Somehow the M1919 a soldier carries can 1-2 shot an enemy, but the M1919 on a tank must shoot somebody 5 times.
The overheat mechanic on weapons on tanks is stupid too. Somehow the mounted M2 barely overheats at all, but the M2s on the M13 overheat faster than the sun.
(overheat mechanics should also be added to planes IMO)

Main tanker here:
Yes the MGs are unrealistic, yet I would argue HE should be the main source of damage from tanks and thus needs a massive buff, so that tank hunters and spgs can have a place in the game.
im sitting here on the pacific maps, watching IJN soldiers take direct 37mm HE rounds to the chest sometimes.
