Just fix the stupid bipods

Nuff said. Instead of slightly turning them into AR again, just fix the goddamn bipods already so people dont need ages and luck to use them on a stupid window sill.
Then we could also talk about adjusting their dispersion.

Now you made me think, they have even stopped the “make enlisted better” week update and one of the thing keofox said they go to fix -soon- was the bipod, funny!

Yeah people are up in arms about making machine guns less mobile but the bipods are still junk. Putting the cart before the horse I’d say

I would like Bi pod (buff) to always be active when prone, no setup required.

I would also like Bi pod to sit up higher when placed in windows (half the time you setup in the window frame and shoot through it.

I would like Bipod To have 90-100 Degree Arc uninhibited. forget collision of operator on Bi pod. The stupidest restrictions apply to arc and stop the player from aiming.

Bipods interact Well with player made sandbags, As a work around, perhaps give the MG gunner ability to make his own sandbag.

Another Idea could be give MG gunners the ability to build a Tripod for their MG. (not the same as engineers). Will still use ammo, but Have the option of telescopic sights on Tripod.

I just put the mount weapon input as the same as ads so it generally works like that when you go prone and ads, it’s still a shit mechanic tho

oh good form. That’s a great Idea, I didn’t think about that. Gonna do that myself.

I have spot bound to my fire key. But didn’t think of that one. cheers. (ends up with lots of spot spamming, but great for my group mates and squad AI to see where Im engaging.)

I’m from the bf3 days on console lol so I’m used to aiming & pressing the “mini map” button for spotting

Tho it’s still very shit to mount in a wall or window and sometimes going prone only works on somewhat flat ground

It’s good that MGs and AT rifles are less mobile and use stamina when you ADS, but bipods do need work.

Indeed, especially in Stalingrad several windows are such that finding the right spot for the chance to place a bipod is a matter of millimetres. Most of the times, after losing several precious seconds going back and forth in vain, I just give up and shoulder fire whatever I’m using.

I know they recent updated bipod placement but i feel like it is even less responsive now, esp on semi uneven terrain. Def needs some looking into

Recently played H&G used to be a german main so i own a lmg (mg34) in the game. They added a bipod mechanic few years ago and to my surprise they work flawlessly. They don’t restrict your mounting position like in enlisted and you don’t have to find that perfect spot in windows or cover just press the bipod button when you’re near a window or cover and you’re done

I would just like the freakin Bi pod to remain deployed. I don’t know if it’s just me, or if it’s a bug or what’s going on. But I could be laying on a flat surface, no obstacles or anything to inhibit the function of the Bi-pod, and it’ll undeploy itself.

nah its not just you. that happens. im pretty sure the recoil moves your operator, or if the surface you operate on is slightly uneven, it dislodges your bipod when you traverse over it. (and im talking like a pebble uneven)

much like you get ejected off the engineer MG emplacement if the ground is uneven.

unless I have set up my own sand bag to setup on. I pretty much just forget I have a bipod

Well then, count that as one of the Bipod things that IMO should be fixed. It’s stupid. Realistically, your bi-pod doesn’t just fold up on it’s own when you start shooting unless you have a really, and I mean really crummy bi-pod or maybe my soldier is to stupid to figure out how to tighten it down. lol.

Agreed. but I cant really think of a game with a bipod system that Isn’t really janky (in recent times). BAD BIPOD

Its why I suggest prone just having the “bipod buff” by default.

Ah, battlefield friends reference there…

Yup, H&G has the best mounting system I saw in a video game. It’s basically flawless.
Just look at this unrestrained area of movement. I can aim at the sky vertically while bipoded!

sweet. I played H&G so much a few years ago. was awesome. I dont remember bipods though (too busy being a paratrooper). Is that a more recent thing?

Not really.
I’d say it’s 2y old.

I already forgot there’re bipods in this game :rofl:
