The MG15/08 LMG should be added to provide more variety for German machinegunners at high BR. Unlike most German MGs, the MG15/08 only fires at 500 RPM which makes it similar to the American M1919 or the Soviet Maxim Tokarev.
However, there’s more to the MG15/08. It can be equipped with a 2.5x ZF12 optic. Depending on what the developers want to do, the MG15/08 can feature a 100 round drum, 250 round belt, or a 2.5x scope to make this weapon interesting to use despite its below average RPM.
tldr: give germany a slow ROF lmg for variety at br5, it can use 250 round belts and/or a 2.5x optic to make it interesting
Id say make this a level 1 machinegun option! Just make this big beefy bastard slow to move and have ti be deployed/setup to shoot accurately or youre just shooting from the hip.
Yes i know the game has deployable machineguns already. I know this, but they are static. I want to beable to move one around the battle field!
Every nation should have a tier 1 style heavy maxim type machinegun to haul around from place to place.
I am betting no prone requirement, and since we lack hip fire it would be one an aim down sites assault rifle
500 rpm and a scope, so it’s going to be a 250 round sniper rifle and it’s not broken, ok
Straight up prone requirement it gobes from broken to great, no nitmounted prone
And people think the stinger is busted at least that is not teck tree
Why can’t we just have MG 08 as a buildable for Engineer 1s and some equivalent for the other nations? I feel it would work better that way than as a general purpose or light machine gun.
No. No more of this annoying tedious mechanic… it was a cop out to introduce these heavier weapons… which while I do think is cool… it just does not work out in game.
