Reply To: What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3?
Howdy again Stuart! My continuing thanks for your patient and informed replies. I agree with your point; “…benefit significantly from being crew served and were employed as light machine guns by their respective armies…”, however I’ll continue to quibble that they’re not much better than having a BAR with a loader, as opposed to being actual belt-fed MGs. That’s just me being stubborn, sticking to my guns, pun intended….
I do believe we’ve beat this subject to death and Warlord Games does address the superiority of the German GPMGs by granting them an extra die. A fair compromise, in the interest of playability, IMO….
One a different note, how do you feel about LMGs, MMGs and HMGs all having the same range in the games?
I served on both M60 and M2 crews while I was in the USMC. I was an assistant MG instructor in the Army Reserve and as previously mentioned, I carried an M60 for two years in the National Guard. By the time the M249 SAW came out I was already a Platoon Sergeant, so I have no experience carrying one of those. The M240Bravo became common after I’d already retired from the military. I’ve familiarization-fired a lot of stuff, including the MG42, STG45, Thompson, Grease Gun, BAR, AKMS, M2 Carbine, MP5, MP10, BM12, etc, etc. The one chance I had to fire a Bren, it was broken that day…. : (
