Bring out the Browning
« on: September 14, 2011, 03:35:18 AM »
One of the most famous mgs of the war and we don't have it. Why can't we diversify by instead of having 2 BARs have one Browning LMG?

He said remove the BAR upgrade which gives this weapon:



And add this instead of two BARs:



We would never do such thing, we could add a reward unit that uses it at most. LoranKorn made a model of that weapon, unfortunately, I don't think US is going to get a reward unit to make use of it because it already has four. But I agree that will be cool to have one squad with one of those ;D.

No, he wanted to replace 1 of the BARs with M1919 Brownings, not both of them, it would diversify, however its not necessary.

BARs allow soliders to shoot during move. This Browning would have to deploy earlier like lMG42 in Gren squad. So this would change gameplay  really hard. Getting close with rifles with THIS gun would be pointless, as staying in range and shhoting it, because of rifles ineffectivness at long range.

Blackbishop is right, I meant have either 1 Browning, or 2 BARs. The BARs fire on the move as stated, so the Browning would have that as a weakness in the fact that it cannot, forcing players to choose between added firepower or mobility. An infantry reward unit would be nice for a change instead of the normal vehicles (which sucks for me being an infantry commander. :P)
P.S. Not to be pushy or anything but to do to the US what you did to UK with a reward faction would be pretty sweet. But by all means please focus on ostheer for now. I can wait.  :)

Am I the only one who want the ¨THAT¨ browning for the Americans MG instead of the watercooled one? XD Yeah I know. EF dont change vanilla factions but I read somewhere that COH had files on this one? But by strange reasons in the end it went to the watercooled one?

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3
