Hilts Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Anyone know why there is no deployment button for this weapon? Does it deploy automatically? It states there is a deployment time of 26 seconds and interestingly a pack up time of 0 seconds, which seems very quick! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The Russian wheeled carriage MMGs (M1910 Maxim & SG43) are assumed to have no pack up time as an advantage of the wheeled carriage, which is otherwise heavier and more cumbersome than a more traditional tripod MG mount. Further, since no pack-up time = is no disadvantage to deploying, they are assumed start deploying automatically as soon as they stop moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Russian MG movement is 'abstracted' because telling the game engine to consider them carriage-mounted like cannons would have messed with deployment in buildings and such. So they're never 'really' broken down for transport, regardless of how it looks. The one exception (there's always an exception) is when you enter a building. They'll self-deploy but it may take a turn or two before they're properly emplaced in a building and ready to fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
