Inspired MG

[Ender]

Since Hero's will inspire near by soldiers. I was thinking that any near by soldiers could "inspire" the MG to reload faster. Thoughts?

 

[<animal>INSTINCT]

Sure, why not?

Just don't make it so it looks like the MG that is reloading has the 'Slight of Hand' perk

 

[OnbekendeSoldaat]

maybe more morale or harder fighting close combat but why faster reloading

 

[Ender]

I was thinking that it would be like the other player is helping reload. I liked the suggested idea i saw before that there would be a dedicated class to assist the mg. They could also carry larger amounts of ammo but I don't see it working as well as just giving the mg a boost when an other player is near by.

maybe the other player can physically help the mg reload if he has it supported on something.

I want heroes to be able to fire from the hip with MG's.
Imagine a gnarly arse grizzly vet blazing away with a mg42 from his hip......

Awesome.

It's an effective way of using a Machine gun in CQC. They did it then and still do it today.
Go watch the documentary "Inside Afganistan"
Plenty of instances of British troops firing LMG's from the hip while moving.

So ................

All MGers could fire in an "assault" stance, however it was extremely difficult to control and not that accurate. You would certainly not be walking around and letting rip like Rambo, or like you can with more modern equipment.

Go watch a guy firing the MG42 from "assault stance" (I can't get you a youtube link as I'm in work)...

It would be cool when you give an MG extra ammo there would be an animation of you helping him open up and put the belt on the feed tray.
