Id like to suggest to make deployed MGs slower to aim but more controllable. Its getting rediculous when im a MGer and i get sniped by SMGs that im firing at.
Burst fire my young padawan, burst fire
Well, the thing is, in the game currently, a rifle rested on a surface is far easier to aim than an MG rested on its bipod... the rifle has a much slower and smoother aiming movement.
The MGs on the other hand seem to have the same precision as a rifle being aimed without support, even though they're rested on bipods.
The MGs bipod deployed aiming should be the same as that of a rifle/smg surface supported aiming.
At what range is the SMG firing at? Even at 200 meters a SMG can kill. MG's need to engage at 200+ meters and are really great when you can interdict at say 300 to 500 meters when the enemy doesnt even know he is in danger. If you expect return fire on your position at less than 200 meters you need to have a rifle man with you to protect your front and flanks.
200m equates to some 12000uu
To put it in to perspective, that is like firing from the back of the Siegessaule on Konigsplatz to the side of the Moltke Monument capzone closest to the Soviet spawn. It could also be the distance from the Second Line to the First Line on Berezina.
500m is equivalent to twice the size of Danzig.
Show me a place where MGs can comfortably engage with accuracy at 300-500m.
Interesting, people must be using them within 30-50m ranges in some maps. Seems crazy to me, but meh.Approximately 80-85m.

Because it is stupidly accurate in single fire, and you don't burn through your ammo so quick.yeah like in Danzig, shooting at the bridghead.
And do people ony use the MG34 for its single shot? Thats even more crazy.
Like the previous poster said, it's stupidly accurate and there are no tracers. On a map like Koenigsplatz or S.Kessel I have scored, several times mind you, up to 60 - 80 kills in ONE round with the MG34 and on a couple occations I didn't even die once. My favourite spot on S.Kessel is on top of the warehouse where russian riflemen/snipers often lie and shoot the russians as they come towards sniper alley. One shot hits most of the time, if not you can pop off one more quickly and still noone knows where you are.And do people ony use the MG34 for its single shot? Thats even more crazy.
