Tripod Mounted Guns

Ok, I searched this, and it seemed like noone suggested this before.
It's well know that the AA gun is used more on infantry than on aircraft, and not every truck has an AA gun folded up in the cab, just doesn't happen. So I thought, the best thing that people want is automatic weapons for defense of bases, so why not set up deployable HMGs or MMGs for defense? Not a la Desert Conflict where they had an RPK bipod holding up an M2, but maybe set up sort of AA tripods so that they can cover a bigger area, or just normal tripods set up on boxes for crouched shooting or on the ground for sitting down on the ground and shooting that way. YOu get my idea right? I just want to see something other than the AA guns used to defend bases against attack from infantry.

Already suggested multiple times(probably because it's a good suggestion). Golden Dragon has made something along those lines too (Golden DragonÂ´s Coding Snippets - Official BF Editor Forums).

that definitly looks like what I'm thinking about. Just need to make the tripod more what it would be in real life for a machine gun, not a tow system

What about a deployable Stinger instead of the minigun platform we have now?

IM talking about base defense from ground attack not aircraft, there is an anti air kit and the aa guns are fine, we don't need anymore please god no O_O I cant fly an AH1 around any map without being blown up instantly

Both the Static MG emplacement and the Static TOW emplacement have been suggested and both are excellent ideas to defense of Bunker/Firebase areas. While their usage would be limited based upon terrain it would be nice to at least attempt it. Obviously if you place it in the wrong location, much like the AA emplacement, it become ineffective. Intelligent placement would be the key. I do hope that one day it's implemented. Right now everyone uses the Light Vehicle that spawns in that way if it's not taken.

I have to agree with you here. AA should be only used against aircraft, not infantary. Maybe the AA should get a slope sothat It can't aim downwards & therefore not hurting infantary.

Agreed. It's been suggested often, but I'd like to see it eventually.

It's a pity we can't have MG's on the bunkers / firebases.

When the bunker/firebase/sandbag gets blown up, the MG's are still there and useable.

one of the devs said it.

As pointed out, this has come up multiple times before.

Locking for resuggestion.
