In my opinion, what’s most lacking is an ammunition carrier in MG squads.
A rifleman who could resupply the MG gunner like an engineer can for a fixed gun.

This is already a thing, you can ask AI squad members for more ammo, it’s infinate. Very useful feature for weapons with large magazine capacity.

Yes. I use it quite often. It’s not optimal by any means but RP aspect wins.
(If only those AI morons could survive a bit longer.)

Historically rifleman did carry ammo for the squad’s MG (at least that was the case in German, British Hungarian armies).

According to the staffing table, a machine-gun platoon with two Maxim machine guns (5 men) was part of each rifle company.
Oh, how long have I wanted to give life to the Maxim machine gun
I guess we won’t wait for the “historical detachments”
We just have to watch what our “loved Developers” are doing.

I’d pay instantly for a mobile (not engineer built) Maxim squad, without any second thoughts!

It’s a great option for Americans and Brits!
Although in the case of America, this is the Browning m1919a4
The funny thing is, the modders were able to at least untie these machine guns from the bag, which has already made them more mobile.
You literally don’t depend on a sandbag that sometimes doesn’t fit on the surface.

I do not know why…
I always loved the Maxim. I cannot explain it, I just do.
I also wish for a quad Maxim Gaz truck!
Note that Soviets and Axis do not have mobile AA squads like Japan and Allies (well they do, but only rare event squads). This would fit nicely in TT for Br1!

Maybe because it’s just reliable
He went through two world wars and is used even in today’s (but not as naturally as before)
I miss him aesthetically.
Flak 1 and gas-mm joke?the developer decided to make the AA balance exactly like this
But I wouldn’t want to see 4 Maxims on a truck.

I did have an idea for a MMG squad where the soldier carrying the MMG could only hipfire it unless you commanded another soldier to put down a tripod on the ground for the gunner to mount the gun. The issue I eventually ran into with the idea is that the mount placing system is potentially too jank and eventual realisation that I’m not even sure if hip-firing MMGs while moving them between positions was a thing really done outside the US.
For potential weapons the US only has the M1919 and maybe M1917 as potential options to my knowledge (the Vickers is a big fat water cooled gun and not something that was really hipfired afaik, am honestly surprised they did it with the M1917), the Germans used the MG-34/42 which already work as LMGs, the Soviets have maybe the SG-43 but I’m not sure if hip-firing that thing was ever actually done, and I’m not aware of Japan having any kind of belt fed tripod-mounted MMG type gun.

No;
Quad Maxim on Gaz would be fine in br1. Let’s keep in mind it is on a civilan truck, and the gunner is completely unprotected. By comparison, allies M13 may have only 2 HMG on it, but the gunner is encased in reliable armour!

You’re a joker, if I look at it)
Even if it appears, it will be weaker than the gas mm with a 25mm automatic.
It just doesn’t make sense!
Not really: if an M13 camp from afar, unless you are a real good sniper, you won’t take the gunner out from the front, it’s what I mean. Gunner has great frontal protection while a Gaz gunner is completely exposed.
Again, not at all! I don’t want the quad Maxim for it’s power, I want it because it would be fun, a good infantry support vehicle that could also take out low flying planes. I don’t need powercreep things. I want fun and iconic things.
(New things added, don’t necessarily NEED to be stronger than what is already here)
