It's the main reason the overall accuracy of a tank's MG has dropped. So you don't have to worry about this happening to a stationary HMG.

And of course the sandbags are too low and offer not enough protection.
What they really did was turn useCameraDofLocked on. What it does is it fires a projectile from the barrel rather than the center of the screen. By default all weapons will fire from the center of the screen unless you tell them to fire from the barrel. The coxial gun is to the right of the barrel hence why it shoots to the right of the screen's center. Honestly, I don't see why people have a problem with this. It's still easy to hit things with it. Just ignore your crosshairs and walk your rounds into the target.

Then again, in one of my mods I removed all the HUDs (crosshairs) from the vehicles. Turns out I was actually a bit more accurate because I paid more attention to where my rounds where going rather than where my crosshairs were.

We don't have a problem with the new barrel placement, we have a problem with the deviation. I honestly don't get why people keep ignoring what we're saying.

The barrel hasn't been moved only the origins of the projectile. The barrel has always been to the right of the main gun. I wasn't arguing about deviation. I'm just saying that they never moved the coaxial gun. It's been in the same spot since EA modeled the tank.
