Please add fourth machinegunner to machine gun squads please, 3 is not enough in higher BR games against SMG/AR stack

I can see it being fine as that is the going rate for premium squad balancing.

Machine Gun squads feel kinda meta in BR2-3 because of the pure power of weapon in the tier and you can out trade at all ranges. If there are issues it would be around there.

Kinda like the setup of 3 MG just to contrast 4 assaulters.

Wonder if there are more interesting ways to buff the MG squad at higher BRs. 3 MGs in a squad already feels kinda unrealistic.

Give them one more rifle?

If most premium and event can have 5 then the techtree should at least get to have 4

If i want to use an MG squad id like to have majority Mgs and not 50000 rifleman or anything else))))

IMOP, which the Dev’s have never seemed to care about…But that aside, all machine gun squads should have four machine gunners

Bro got turned into a lego figure :sob:

This makes sense i suppose. TT assaulter squads can have 4 assaulters with SMG/Assault rifles(5 if you count medic that some legacy assaulter squads could put in there i guess :wink:) Yet the devs treated LMG as if it’s something superior than SMG/Assault rifles which, honestly with current average LMG stats in mind, LMG is inferior to SMG/Assaulter rifles and shouldn’t get penalized by having only 3 MG gunners in the squad. It should be 4, same as the assaulter squads.

Agree, having three machinegunners is a legacy from when MGs were OP, now it makes no sense anymore. Today, TT MGs squad are so underpowered compared to premium MG squads and all assault squads.

BR 2 meta is 3 assaulter squads, machinegunners are getting sidelined badly when most BR2 SMGs are very good already

I think multiple squad classes should be increased

I’m all for it, but who would run Assault squads then? 4 MGs is OP to 4 SMGs or Assault rifles…any day I would take 4 MG42 100s over STG44s and Suomis…I tend to chose 3 over 4 now. A BF littered with MGs would be insane…plus top tier semis are pretty good to round out the squad.

At BR5 the meta is undeniably running all rifleman squads with SFs. And at lower BRs SMGs are often just as good if not better than the same number of MGs.

At lower BRs for sure, but 4 MGs in a TT squad for top tier when you get a Radioman too would make them OP. It would be like a Premium MG squad with a radioman in the TT.

They’d be strong but a 9 man rifleman squad would be better. Even the best BR5 MG, the RD-44, isn’t as good as its SF counterparts.

It wouldnt make them op at all MGs still have a ton of penaltys 9mans with SFs will still dominate
