Wow TW still hasnt fixed that bug where you switch instantly for AP to HE shells. This a major oversight by the so called dev team. You owe me a better game and the 40 dollars I managed to get after saving up months worth of lunch money. Thanks to you and your ****ty immersion breaking bug I am now in poverty and on the streets

If that is a German MG, this is no bug at all...just proper handling.

Yup, germans were trained to hold the mg with psychocinetic forces in the air and then reload.

nope, but if you deploy the bipod and lean into the weapon, the weapon is jammed between your shoulder and the bipod, which means that your hands are free.

When I served in the armed forces, we were taught that the correct way to deploy an MG is pushing forward until the bipod jams so that you can take both your hands off the MG without letting it fall.

Okay, just thought it looked like a damn strange weapon animation, because he is standing straight up not holding the gun.

It certainly looks weird if you don't know why it looks like this xD

It's impossible to actually change the shells from AP to HE after loading the shell. The only way you can unload is to.. well.. unload. :p

Hmm...I've never seen the reload animation for this one myself but he must have a real talent to be able to have his shoulder and arms in that position in accordance with where the gun is pointing.

Also, you can telekinetically point the bipod MGs while reloading them with two hands.

... The MG34 weighs only about 14kg without the tripod so one can easily place it ontop of ones bended knee and reload.

Even if you were standing up with an mg34 I'm sure you could still reload it. Hold the pistol grip and put the stock under your arm pit, insert rare saddle drum with left hand. The mg34 only weighed 24 pounds which may sound amazingly heavy when thinking gun, but I do multiple sets of curls in a day with 25 pound dumbbells and that is not so bad. I'm not that big of a guy either. so I'm sure a guy lugging that MG around all day every day would be use to it.

Did you ever stop to realize that the animation is of him crouching, resting the mg on his leg and then putting the top on it? I find it more likely they simply forgot to make you stay still during that reload.
