We have absolutely no tier 1 MGs, and some MGs that were literally avaliable since the beginning of the war are too high tier.
If I want MG34 I will be forced to play against Tier 5.

Can’t wait for 2030 when for balance we will have Uzi fight against MP 40.

No thanks, I greatly enjoy getting some use out of the MG-13, Besal, and other BR2 LMGs. As rob said I think we can expect a middle queue to be added at some point.

I too like the early war mgs. I think there is a few more that can be added to bolster these ranks.
Enjoying the ls 26, mg13/30, bren, breda, etc etc.
They are all really good fun when you remove the shadow of the more popular stuff
Can get some more from sub trees when stuff like french show up.

Sure. Move all LMGs down by 1 tier.
Unlike assaulter weapons, MGs aren’t as conducive to the run-and-gun meta, necessitate additional time to move from place to place and find a comfy spot to fight.
You also inherently only get 3 maximum in a squad.

BARs should stay in t3.

Nah. The 1918 and 1918A1 can be BR2, looking at their statlines. Especially if it means the MG 34 will become BR2, since the original proposal will be for all LMGs.
Are you hearing yourself? I don’t want to play Japan with bolt action rifles against people with BARs. That’s a hilarious idea. I already am getting flametrooper spammed I don’t need another thing to be annoyed at.

The Type Hei and Type Otsu are overtiered. Both should be Tier 2, not Tier 3 and 4, respectively.
You realize that FN Model 1930s (Axis BARs, basically) and Type 97s, Type 11s and Type 96s also go down, too, right?
I don’t see why people are overexaggerating the capabilities of the BAR when there are relatively comparable equivalents that will also be available at the same tier.
In fact, I find it completely strange why none of the LMGs in the game- Even something as shitty as a Chauchat, Madsen or Breda Mod 30 are Tier 2, minimum.
Furthermore-
No one is forcing you to use bolt-action rifles. The Japanese have access to excellent low-tier SMGs, and even a high-capacity SMG at tier 2.
It’s like going to a war and complaining that no one is fighting with knives when they have guns.
