Static MGs: why mouse lag?

[Proud_God]

Why is there mouse lag for static MGs? They're hard enough to use effectively already!

 

[amdr]

Never really used them due to them being mostly on retarted locations, but I'm guessing to simulate the weight behind them?

I find them extremely EASY to use and when in one of those rare spots where they are sited good, extremely effective.

Why are there static MGs at all? Ridiculous...

It's a heavy gun. It takes force to move and stop it. Newton's laws and all that. Object in motion stays in motion etc.

They're situational but often really good. People don't always expect anyone to use them.

But it makes them a complete pain in the *** to aim them accurately. An LMG is way better at aiming.

Yeah I see them under utilized. I think it's a matter of a lot of people are not use to the suppression that the game uses so they feel it a waste to lay down fire if they aren't hitting something.

The fixed MGs are also heavier. (which would make them slightly slower than their portable counterparts)

I love the way the static MGs are implemented. You really get a sense of having to put your back into moving them around.

It would be nice to get some fixed MGs with either MGZ 34/40 attached.

It would be really nice if this affected all weapons, not just HMGs, in a smaller effect of course.

God I wish they'd implement it.

Yep. I love how the HMG feels in the game. My favorite weapon to use. If they could only put in more of that effect in the rest of the weapons, and it would be so much more immersive (and realistic - longer heavier weapons would be more stable but cumbersome to wield quickly).

The german MG is the same as the LMG the infantry carries, just mounted in a tripod. The Maxim is recoil-operated, so no delay should be there...

He's not talking about a delay in firing, he's talking about the traversal of the HMG being heavy and slow compared to personal weapons.
