Is there Anyway to man an abandoned Gun (MG or Mortar) ? When i got a team of maybe 4 soldiers fight brave turned back and fired all the ammo. and then there is a HvyMG with only 1 men left or maybe all killed. Is it possible to order my men to man this MG and use it ? It will also be nice when troops can pick up Ammo form dead comrades. ------------------ Major Uedel Kommandant 111 FallschirmjaegerBtl

Best Way to give Fire Support is with an MG or Rifle team from Flank or Behind. When u too this the enemy turns to the source of fire while your 2nd team can aproach and get close for Handfight or close fire. ------------------ Major Uedel Kommandant 111 FallschirmjaegerBtl

to aaronb. you couldnt fire 900 rounds in one long burst with MG42. Because A) Ammobelt isnt that long --> 1 AmmoBox contains 1 Belt with maximum 200 rounds this takes about 30-40 sec´s untrainned and min 10-15 sec trainned crew Your Barrel will go to hot --> You have to change it after max 200 rounds. This will take too about 10-25 sec´s and couldnt be dual to belt change. So u could maybe fire 900 rounds in theory with MG 42 but not in real. Why i know that ? Spent my Army time at German Army and they use the MG 3 what is most identycal to MG42. Only 3-4 thing´s have changed. The Barrel and the "Schulterstuetze". And about ammo i got to say. When a Crewmember get´s lost/wounded/disabled, then Ammo didnt have to be gone--> Special when they are not moving and are Stationary. Tha Ammoboxes will lay on ground and the left/survived Members of the Team can easy grab them. They are not in the mouth or Boddy of the wounded/Dead Crewmember. ------------------ Major Uedel Kommandant 111 FallschirmjaegerBtl
