[Error] No overheat effects on LMG and Mounted MG

[Vyllis]

Summary - No visual overheat effects on Mounted tripod mg34
Category - Art & code?
Reproducibility - 100%, for now
Description- I can hear the reduced fire rate, but i don't see any visual effects (smoke?). Tested on Apartments & Commissar House.

Can an admin change the title of the thread to: No overheat effects on Mounted tripod MG34

I thought it wasn't supposed to overheat? Like there was some cooling built into the mounted system.

I don't think the mg34 tripod was watercooled. Am i wrong?

Not sure, but I think the MG34 doesn't overheat in vanilla either. And from the top of my head, the barrel looks on the mounted MG34 looks just the same as the bipod MG34, so I think it's still aircooled.

The portable MG34 does overheat. I had to change barrels yesterday and they were smoking.

In the beta, they does overheat. I heard the slowed fire rate... or i miss clicked the change weapon fire mod button ? I will try to verify this.

edit: i think i surely miss clicked the change fire mode button. But isn't the tripod MG 34 susceptible to overheat, anyway?

Absolutely. The tripod does nothing to cool a barrel. But this is not a bug, it's the way the devs wanted it to be.

Well, offensive name, can you make a poll about that in the suggestion forums? If it can overheat like the bipod mg-34, so, make it overheat...

Even the MG34 in the tanks should overheat. This is why the MG42 could not be mounted inside tanks because the barrel is changed from the side on the MG42.
