MG and PTRS users are suffering from Myasthenia Gravis badly in Stalingrad. also, the mounting weapon position always got window frame get in the way
if an MG cannot fire from ADS efficiently or mount on windows properly it’s unusable against SMG even bolt action rifles.
you cant expect MG players always have time to build sandbags b4 using their guns. The MGs mounting point needs a serious adjustment or maybe just a bit higher above the window frame
also, the new MG42 recoil paten is likely DP now. they both suck a duck. made me have no options but to spam MKb and AVT with two engineers plus one assaulter squad
that makes me start to wonder why dont darkflow just makes the map have 3 classes? Engi + medic + snipers. make both of us easier

Meanwhile, me laughing in lmg, prone on the very, very flat Stalingrad ground beside a car wreck looking at a full riflemen squad in front…

to be honest i hate the recoil patterns on stalingrad the mg’s just seem to drag too the side. Also not only that but god screw the mechanic that drains your stamina when you use the iron sights i think it should drain stamina when your fire and not when your just looking down the sights.
Also the bipods are still shite and unreliable they need too improve it. Also the limited firing angles of the bipods is also terrible.

Imagen if they add the new lmg mechanics too the other campaigns with more rough terrain and grass
You could do the tried and true method of firing from the hip
Perhaps… But I’m not a very run and gun rambo with heavier lmgs. I like to find myself a good spot flanking the enemy’s flow of reinforcements and delete it.
It works in Stalingrad because the maps are nicely flat so bipods shine. In places such as Normandy however… ugh, I’ll keep the BAR or the recoilless H&G 1919.
The recoil is a bit odd in Stalingrad, but just a tiny bit too much. The stamina drain however is a great mechanic: you CANNOT sprint and expect to fire true with a lmg afterwards, as a lowered stamina pool means more recoil. It’s a new mechanic I like.

It largely depends on the map like on minstery I will try to make a sandbag for my lmg but I will go into the point to clear it with the lmg if I have to
After the update mounting weapons (not just MGs) is now broken, just as OP said they mount too low into the window frame blocking shots or just making it almost impossible to turn your weapon. Very often I am only able to shoot in few degrees angle to the sides, it’s broken even for windows that I used to mount before the update without any problems. Instead of making it better they made it even worse than it used to be.
If you’re unhappy about stamina drain, get the stamina perk on machine gunners and bombers. Simple.
Idk in what sense or logic that simply aiming your weapon (not shooting) will make you exhausted, aiming is crucial to navigate your surroundings, with this ridiculous stamina depletion, the gunner class is basically useless even with the perks.
