Well look at map. You don’t have to flank in an open field.
They have been making bad decisions for quite a while. I dislike them for what they are doing to Japan’s appearance and customization like some amateur that never look things up.
Open field or greyzone, I die in greyzone so open field it is
HMG can pierce through steel and kill a tank, but it cannot do damage through the wooden wall.
In my opinion - this is dumb and reduces joy from the game.

When you analyze it… isn’t it closely related? They want easy kills because grind is endless 
I’ll survive this nerf, I always do. Hmg HAD to be nerfed somehow, it was exaggerated how powerful they were.
I’m sad about ALL the other firearms not able to shoot through some walls anymore, thought.
Speaking off, do you know if shooting through wooden DOORS still work, or those became armoured too? A move I LOVED to do was while I was being pursued, I closed wooden doors, then when I knew my pursuer got behind, I unloaded a magazine into it… “surpriiiise”! Hope THIS at least is still here…

yeah, but can be nerfed to a 1 or 2 walls penetration limit, not just making it unavailable to pierce wood at the same time that can pierce metal armor. is too much weird.
mmmh.
Just played a match where a guy got saved by a chair. A chair…
then another where I dumped a mag on a wooden barrel cause there was an enemy behind. He was unscathed.
Meh, hopefully they will tweak stuff. Only hmg needed a nerf, not all small arms…

how is getting shot through 3 walls by a guy who doesnt know youre even there fun? They mightve overdone it a bit but it’s not like the nerf wasn’t warranted.
whats up with this obsession with skill-less mechanics? is it like a zoomer thing, or something? Is it because people just want to AFK have a point and click adventure and not have to actually use their brain?
Is this supposed to be a joke? HMGs causing you to need to think a little and use terrain and cover instead of concealment is the opposite of a skill-less mechanic, as is the correct use of enfilade and defilade for a HMG position. The skill-less mechanic is being totally free to move around now if you have a sheet of plywood in front of you. Literally “I can’t see you so you can’t hurt me.” How can you say that having to think about what kind of cover you have is people not wanting to use their brains?
Also, pretty sure zoomers are actually known for their deep lust for thoughtful game mechanics.
I’m okay with HMG’s having a penetration limit. But unlimited penetration really caused problems. I don’t even see normal LMG placements anymore, HMG is just a better and stronger LMG that requires less time to build. In my opinion, HMG’s need a big time-to-build nerf instead, this should make them less OP and give players a reason to use regular LMG

I was really surprised by the change myself. there was already a counter for it and that was to reinforce with Metal Barricades or even sandbags. Boom, they can spray all they want and they couldn’t do a thing. Then all you need to do is shoot them out with an anti-tank rifle.
Yeah very skillful to shoot through a building and blow up a tank/infantry squad you literally didnt know what there. Its almost as skillful as turning JU188’s into cruise missiles and launching them at tanks while smashing your face on the spacebar.
Yes, it requires more skill and brainpower to use an HMG well than to just run to the point, safe in the knowledge that the devs broke their cover/concealment system so that the braindead don’t have to adapt to anything new or have any ballistics knowledge. What do you even gain from reducing the complexity of the game and catering to people who still cover their eyes and think they’re hidden? You are literally talking about the removal of a realistic mechanic that added tactical options as if it’s a good thing.
