MG Suggestions Summary

[Boogerhead]

Mentioned: -- MGers should not be able to resupply other MGers without losing their own ammo

Implicitly not mentioned: MG42 gunner shouldn't be able to give 50 round cartridges to MG34 gunner. MG34 shouldn't be able to give belts to MG42.

Not mentioned:
-- Russians should not be able to resupply Russians with dropped MG34/MG42

-- Germans should not be able to resupply Germans with dropped DP-28

-Move all machineguns to weapon category that used by panzerfaust (iirc, 5 or 6)
-Disable to change to other weapons when soldier carry machinegun (he should drop MG to use pistol/grenades)
-Able to use iron sights for DP-28 while stand or crouch
-Able to reload LMGs when in crouch stance (increase reloading time and disable moving)
-For Soviet only NCO carry aditional ammo for DP-28
-For Germans disable to resupply for snipers, tankists
-But, all classes can take aditional ammo MG from resupplying crates
-Increase stamina drain for full loaded MGer
-Able to leave deployed machinegun (longer time disappear for gun and deployed ammo near it) ; machinegun stays deployed when MGer is killed
-Double the machinegunners slots for Soviet side

Why?

-Disable to change to other weapons when soldier carry machinegun (he should drop MG to use pistol/grenades)

Would only result in confusion and people not using the pistols as often. Why? The MG42 has a sling so it's no problem switching to a pistol and still carry the MG.

-Able to use iron sights for DP-28 while stand or crouch

NO! I have seen people shooting the MG42 from the shoulder too, but it's not something that should be in this game! It will only result in the misuse of these guns as super-SMGs like in many other games that have this feature.

In case you forgot:

Do Not discuss things, do not flame things, do not post anything but lists.

 

[popbob]

• German machine gunners should be able to get more barrels from a resupply point, if they use the barrels unwisely.
• Both teams should get tripods for their machine guns.
• The german machine gunner should be able to choose what ammo their MG34 (assuming they picked it) carries; belt, or drum.

 

[AKA]

-Improve accuracy/fix accuracy bugs.
-Less recoil when deployed.
-Make MG noise louder in comparison to other weapons fire
-Increase suppresion affects (people should be unable to get an accurate shot whilst being fired upon/nearby)
-Allow reloading when undeployed
-Inrease dust/particle effects from MG bullet impacts

Was any of the suggestions used?

Great we made a collated list of MG suggestions but has any of the suggestions been implemented at all?

 

[Rak]

Have you been kidnapped by Borg and assimilated in a cube and then rescued by Captain Picard himself and then been the navigator of the ship and then found your way to Earth in the past one year?

Yeah.

 

[[ODIN]Tor]

• Only make it possible to give ammo when the MG'er calls out for it...

 

[Solo4114]

- Fix the ability to give German MGers ammo before they've fired a shot, OR give the same ability to the Russians. The Germans should not get 5 free points per MG just for being German.

 

[Zetsumei]

You guys should list problems not solutions i think though, your problem is point whoring by giving mgs ammo, the devs are smart enough to think up a solution in time of need.

This topic wasn't it dead for like half a year because the mgs did get some changes a while back.

Yeah.

I wish I had...

What changes? The devs asked us to summarise what we felt needed to be added/fixed etc. etc. about machineguns and we complied and made a list but I don't know what was done with our requests later on except that I don't see any of the good ideas like linkable belts for both MG34 and MG42 or a hip firing MG42?

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

I didn't realize that hip firing the MG42 and linkable belts (not to mention all the testing, animation, coding etc) was such a high priority or even a good idea (opinion). Not trying to start a flame war, but come on

The thread says: Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains



Threadomancy is bad for the environment. Please refrain from engaging in it.

 

[Solo4114]

On the other hand, if someone wants to make a point on an old issue, they aren't supposed to post a new thread...

Not taken as such an attempt but what was the point of the original thread if it wasn't followed up on?
Ok the devs have a lot of work other than tweaking machineguns I am sure but then why ask us to begin with?

As I said in another thread, the forum search function is overrated...

 

[Murphy]

On the other hand, if someone wants to make a point on an old issue, they aren't supposed to post a new thread...

The difference between thread necromancy and successful usage of the searchfundtion is as follows:
Searchfunction:
You search for the topic you want to create, find it, realize that you have nothing to add, so you shut up and leave. OR you find it, but you realize that something important hasn't been mentioned it, so you post it there.
Thread necromancy:
You do the same as above, but the first situation occurs, but instead of moving on you post something meaningless like "Agreed"/"Seconded"/"I was gonna post that, too".

I don't believe "these haven't been implemented" is a new and valid point but rather pointless spamming and complaining.

 

[REZ]

Evil Hobo stylee tracers would be the right step towards making the MG as dominant as it really was.
