HMG team for SU

[Mizo]

Soviet Union is lacking a HMG team so I would like to suggest if they could recive such a team at some point, I was thinking that they could be equipped with Maxim 1910 machine gun.

I think their Machine Gun is the T-90, but i also wouldnt mind a MG for the Russians, maybe one that is mounted like an AT gun that a team has to drag aroundand set up, and not able to go into buildings?

I think their Machine Gun is the T-90

Ummm.. T-90 is a tank.

T-90

A modified version of the T-70, bearing a different main armament. It is armed with two 12.7mm DShKs, suited for anti-aircraft and anti-infantry duties.

Yahuh, its a tank with 2 Russian Machine guns poking out of it, and if im not mistaken, the last game i played using it it supressed a few german squads.

You mean that while germans and americans have infantry HMG teams, Soviets have a T-90? so the T-90 replaces HMG team in soviet faction? :/

[Mr. Someguy]

I never had any success with the T-90. Used it once, took 2 long bursts to kill a single Grenadier, did nil to an Armored Car, never suppressed them though.


Anyway, I think we should get an M1910 on wheels. It'll be unique in that it acts like an AT Gun in terms of movement.

They even have a model for it already made.

[Artillerist]

I suppose to get that model in Soviet MG bunkers, wich now have "Wikkers .303"

No i never said that, i said they had a mobile, quick, and effective dual Machine Gun peice of light armor.  I dont have any facts to support it, but as i was playing my T-90 was shooting at a group of suppressed, but not pinned, group of Volks Grens and Pios, at a GLANCE i assumed the T-90 was the one doing the pinning as it was the only one i saw fireing at it, but i could be wrong.

The T-90 does suppress, yes. I don´t know if it is as good suppressing as a normal HMG... BUT IT IS A GODDAMN LIGHT TANK. YOU CAN MOVE IT AROUND WITHOUT SETTING UP, and it can´t be stolen to boot...

[Zerstörer]

It suppresses very well, but you need to move in close

[SexyUnderwaterAction]

they dont need an mg, they are supposed to be aggressive.

[xenotype]

side note- When is the vickers going to get replaced with something authentic?

[Shaq]

I say they give them a PM M1910

Maxim 1910 will be a bitch to animate, but there are other Tripod MG's we can use... DS-39, DP-28, DSHK and an AA Maxim. I think we may opt for the DS-39, it was quite rare and crappy, but it will look unique and had a much higher fire rate than a Maxim and DP-28. DSHK would be badass, but I think its far too bulky for the animations to look good. I dunno, we'll have to see... it'll be a case of trial and error.

...Maxim 1910 will be a bitch to animate...

Please? Can we please have one at least as the mg nest? I don't care how long I have to wait!
