Terrible Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I was about to fight a battle that included Soviet Mechanized SMG/LMG Squads from June of 1944 and noticed an interesting firepower value. The squad is comprised of seven PPSH SMGs and one DPM LMG. The LMG has a firepower rating of 10 at 40 meters. The firepower rating curiously jumps to 23 at 100 meters. Is this correct? I took a look at a DMP LMG on the internet and didn't see anything that would impact its close range firepower (at least to my untrained eyes) and thought it must be typo in CMBB's equipment database. The DP LMG, (I'm assuming that it is closely related to the DMP) from a rifle squad of the same time period, has a value of 30 at 40 meters. Any Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offtaskagain Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 One of the SMG gunners is acting as the LMGs loader at longer range so he doesn't use his SMG. At close range he stops acting as a loader and uses his SMG since that adds more firepower than his acting as a loader. Since the LMG no longer has a second man to reload its firepower drops off at close range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 An added factor is that a light machinegun isn't really all that light. The closer you get to one the harder it is to move around to engage targets effectivly. At clost range you have to move around a lot more than you do at longer range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
