We will see if the elephant needs a mg or not. IMO it doesn´t need one.

And how about this, if an enemy infantry unit is right infront of the hull (pretty much touching the Elefant) the MG-34 can suppress it for a few seconds.

For the sake of balance and a taste of realism, allow the Elefant to marginally defend itself from frontal charges. Give the MG stats that will be notable but not game-breaking.
