[Weapon/Asset] deployable 50cals

[bosco_]

The vehicle mounted ones are very accurate...

Sorry about this mess...................please kill all above posts but not this one?


Do you know the maximum distance (even roughly) that these can be deployed from a FB.

I ask because it is an important advantage to keep the location of your FBs unknown to the enemy, therefore hidden from the direct sight...... bla bal bla

I only bothered to read what I quoted as I know you too well TC for just blabaring on for ages about one point and looked at the end of the topic and it looks like im right, please in future keep it short unless there is loads of points to be worth that long

Yes we are aware of the issue of these kinda thing giving away FB positions etc, like I said we have not done any rules to these so far we may even make it so they do not require in a radius for them to deployed. Deployment rules will come later thou we will consider everything...

Will it kill prone soldier on deployed position?

All deployables have a small side effect that if anything is in the way of the object being deployed it will "crush" the player, much like a jeep falling on someones head. Just tell your squad to stand clear when you deploy a object and make sure if your the one deploying it you deploy it in a clear area so this dose not happen.

just a quick question, how far can you swivle the .50cal? is it a full 360 degree thing or just a small 90 degree cone in the front?

Its only a small 90deg or something rotation facing forwards, hence the sandbags being built up on the side so deploying this in a good position will be critical to how useful they are.

also how accurate will it be? I sure hope its not like the vhiechle mounted .50cals.

Very, not used the 50cals on the jeeps?

I assume we can dual wield these like this: YouTube - Dual Weilding M249 Machine Guns

have you have seen a 50cal? you need 2 guys to lift it safely, they are really, really big and heavy.

I dont like an arab MEC with a MG3 in hees hands, doesent seem right

ME Usage of the MG3

Iran - License production by DIO as the MGA3.

Pakistan - License production by Pakistan Ordnance Factories.

Sudan - Made by Military Industry Corporation as the Karar

The MG3 is currently in service with the German Army (Bundeswehr) and has been exported to or license-built in Chile, Denmark, Italy, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Norway, Austria, Australia, Portugal, Poland, Greece, Cyprus and produced under licence in Turkey. The MKE in Kirikkale produces since 1974 the MG3 for the Turkish Armed Forces. MG3 clones are built in Yugoslavia and other countries.

[Maxfragg]

sure the MG3 is no .50cal, but its firerate should make it okay again, it fires damned fast

[Spec]

And assymetrical weapons are always good.

[Fabryz]

Nice work! We needed some sort of it in the field

[Neo_Mapper]

Im just thinking about it now, what will happen if you deploy such a thing in the bunkers of kashan xD 100% deathfield for every enemy infantry who didnt throw some smoke before

I assume we can dual wield these like this: YouTube - Dual Weilding M249 Machine Guns

No dual wielding would be silly, however just the one is entirely sensible

YouTube - KORD 12,7 mm machine gun(Shooting a machine gun, standing)

[gijoe]

Wow that is intense. That thing must weight a ton!

[Surround]

It´s going to be like this!!

YouTube - Shooting with 12.7 aa machinegun in Finland, fun part 2

Footage taken by me. HAr.


*wish* I think it would be fun if you could just deploy those and other stuff (sandbags and razorwire) everywhere but with truck near of course. It would be very tactic to make ambushes on roads and in top of hillss.

[darkNight]

Wow! This is great! Finally we got some placeable MGs Can't wait for that awesome footage.

Thanks!

[Gunwing]

I hope so real life .50 cals are black, not this crapy BF2 gray junk. BTW Nice job on the model!

I hope the MEC, and Chinese get their HMGs as deployables as well next release it will make base defence much less of a chore and more like it is in real life.

Now all we need are Mortors for Engineers to place, and we would be in great shape!

BTW any word on a deployable Grenade Launcher? There are a bunch of nations that use them other then the US. (Mark19 version), then there is the PLAs version, and even Russia has one.

[zephyr89s]

adding this will put whole new strategy into demo teams. the SL will specifically say "Take out the .50 cal FIRST!!!! then worry about the bunker!"

[Rhino]

Alright updated the first post with the correct MEC and PLA 50 cals. Did the fix yesterday thou forgot to post new pics

Chinese Type 85 50.cal HMG (in woodland texture mode, hence the brown dirt and greener sandbags)






MEC Kord 50.cal HMG

[Sabre_tooth_tigger]

I would just smoke the 50 and rpg the bunker

[ReaperMAC]

Lookin good.

[NYgurkha]

sry i guess i didn't phrase my second question properly, i was wonder weather they would have some spread and wouldn't be laser like.

[Rhino]

they would be like any other 50cal in PR currently...

they use excatly the same weapon code as the 50cals on the jeeps etc so unless they change, these wont changes. The only difference being they are stationary 50cals.
