Wheeled DShK HMG

[Skykid93]

Hello to all of you, I just joined, and i must say this is one fantastic mod here 

Anyways I am writing because I've got a suggestion for a Soviet HMG team.

I have been thinking about a DShK Machine gun mounted on a little wheel kart with a seat for the gunner which can be towed around like an AT-gun, like the real ones they used.

Note: I do know that there's a bug in the engine that might influence your opinions on crew-served Soviet weapons.

Best regards, Skykid93

Soviets don't need an MG.

Soviets don't need an MG.

Maybe as a Reward unit for mortar, but They don't need a buildable MG

yeah a suppression weapon coupled with the doom mortar may be a little to much... expensive to do but still overwellming infantry death.

[Skykid93]

Yeah, i though that the morter + hmg would make it op, just a suggestion though

ALso, the devs have animation problems with the 'Gun Carriage' HMG, and they don't want to use the Tripod System, and they do have Bi-pod DP-28s for Strelky...

I didn't know this, but like i said, the real DShK was "towed" like an AT-gun with a seat for the gunner, but that'll probally lead to another animation problem

I know it might be OP but still an HMG is kinda essential in holding a defensive position.  And i don't like that the mg that you can build when you select prop war doc, has a pop of 3 even after costing so much and being doctrine specific.  I mean it's not that strong defensively or offensively nor does it suppress that fast.

Good idea.
A Soviet MG could be towed. No retreat, small arc of fire (or not), last 2 crew members die at the same time, they cant garrison buildings.
This kind of swap for a MG dugouts wouldnt be OP.

+1.

Towed MG wouldn't be OP. It'd be quite easy to animate, basically a HMG mountedon the chassis of a 57mm.

I think that Propaganda could benefit of this!! when you choose Impenetrable Defense, you will be able to deploy these guns!! Their defensive bunkers could use this "new" HMG instead ...

I could think of making them a reward unit replacing the ability of double flamers (sniper ace/patistanz could be a option to). But i wouldnt make it available to prop. or tank doc. they are powerfull enough, in my opinion urban is a little weaker. So u get this call in unit (there could be a max of units on map like 2 or 3). And its as powerfull as the flamers making it depending on the strategie of the player (wich actually is the sense of the rewardunits), so either mgs or flamers...

That's exactly what I was thinking Also a small arc of fire would make sense for the sake of balance, it would be very powerful (since it's a 12,7x108mm), have long range and a slow rate of fire, but would be easy to flank due to a small arc of fire, it could also take slightly longer to deploy to make it easier to flank

I think a MG for the Russians is a good idea, and if possible, should be included in it

[Seeme]

Urban is not UP at all, sniper ace is great and paristans are epic.
