Apperantly German army did use the old 1908 Maxim. Not sure where the photo was taken but since his helmet is white, i assume it may of been late war and in a winter enviroment. Not sure what BR would this be suitable for, since it’s not very rapid firing and it only has legs. BR 1 comes to mind. Welcome further discussion!
a squad with a fixed main weapon? Why
Why, MG 34 is already great, we don’t need copy and paste in this sense
Would be a nice engineer squad
6 engineers
All armed with Gewher 98
Build the Maxim
And they can get the special helmets the Assault Engineers got
I think it would be a good idea if it were added to the first engineer squad as a fixed machine gun, since the Maxim is inferior to the MG34 in rate of fire, and thus there would be a fixed position machine gun more suited to lower BRs, for example the US could have the water-cooled Browning M1917 which was widely used in the Pacific campaign at the beginning of the war
I can remember the live action trailer for the Berlin open test there was a German using a Maxim machine gun.
Yes, and as you may have seen, the machine gun is positioned directly on the ground, without the sandbag structure. I recently created a topic about the structures where the engineer machine gun is built. If you are interested, take a look.
