Insurgent/Taliban HMG Deployables

[TheParadoX]

I agree !

[Dev1200]

Would be interesting to have blockade / ambushes setup by the insurgents with .50 cals.

Maybe just 1-2 however, and not 2 each hideout ^_^

I like the idea if it is very limited... 1 or 2 per map... and not with zoom. IRL I have heard stories that Taliban will actually risk their lives for the DShk Machine guns because there is so few of them around.

[Shovel]

sounds awesome! maybe some less conventional cover for them too, like the mortars

[Spartan0189]

I'd like to see this, because it seems like that would be a nice alternative to having to have a guy with an AK or PKM by you when you make a Hideout with an SPG-9 or Mortar position.

Maybe it could be a PKM on a tripod or something? On a little mound of dirt like the SPG-9?

[dtacs]

A tripod mounted DshK would make the most sense, there are numerous pictures and Apache-FLIR videos of Taliban either manning or cleaning them, and one per fire base would be relatively balanced.

For the Insurgents, it seems a bit to conventional for them to have such a large caliber weapon that is operable.

I don't think it would be particularly appropriate for insurgents, as they're much more of an urban force that relies on speed and hit and run tactics, and as far as I know it isn't common for them to lug around HMGs (except perhaps during the various battles for fallujah and some other more set-piece battles).

However, I think a tripod-mounter DshK is a pretty reasonable suggestion for the Taliban, would be a good chopper counter

its funny i was thinking about that last night ahaha . . . .
Just some ideas for what could be used . . . . they look a bit too Badass

My preference is: Two available DShKM HMG emplacements for the first two lucky Insurgent squads (this will be a rush to get it in the first few weeks/days it's available, but will eventually evolve into 'ok, who has the best position for a DShKM?'. After this, you can have a PKMS MMG on a Tripod mount. This will have minimal cover, but will have great firepower, as it's basically a PKM turret mount, only on a tripod.

EDIT: Oh yeah Redamare that looks totally badass. My idea was either 2 of those or 2 slightly sandbagged emplacements.

[ShockUnitBlack]

I quite like this idea, particularly with Terry Taliban - here's a first-hand account of their use out of Sangin.

[Bazul14]

How about making them turnable, like the SPGs.

Another choice would be to make them on the same stand or on a similar stand like that of the techie 50 cal. They could be used as AA, fully rotable and with a restricted negative elevation. Anyways, if there are any 50 cals, there would not be any need of protection or sandbags.

[charliegrs]

considering insurgents are more defensive oriented, because they have to defend caches, I think a deployable HMG for them would be great. It would make an awesome defence against incoming Hummers and whatnot.

Agree,but only 360 degrees rotating tripod.

Maybe more limited... Like 1 or 2 per map. I would imagine a DShKM is hard to get for insurgents.

Maybe for insurgents,but not for taliban.
P.s in some videos Apache spot some HMGs like DShK,and spot a GAZ66 with ZPU-4 on board.Anyway -why thats so hard?You can find DShK on mostly Middle-East countries.

LOVE this idea +1
