Xavier Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hello, I just discovered that there 're 6 men in romanian LMG team. Usually, in a LMG team we 've a gunner plus a loader. May be, a leader and an ammo bearer. But 6 men for one single weapon! Lazy boys! I'm a bit confused :confused: Any romanian grog'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone_Vulture Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hasn't this been discussed before? It was a case of heavier equipment and ammunition? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingknives Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 ZB30 = Bren gun in 7.92 calibre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Then it wasn't so heavy and the question still remains. Why the hell would you need 5 men to support a bleedin' Bren gun? Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schonhult Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 They carry alot of ammo. 100 compared to 38 for mg34 The romanian ZB30 is also listed as moving "fast" while the light mg34 is listed as moving "medium" The Romanians treated it like a HMG, thats why there are so many people in the team. But in the game it is treated like a LMG. With the bonus that LMG:s don't jam. Later in the war, only 4 people serve the ZB30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[snips]Obviously, it's one man to carry the gun, one man to carry the ammunition, one to carry the spare parts wallet, one to carry the tripod, and two to argue over whether the tripod should ever be used or not. All the best, John. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
