[Proposal New Kit] HMG

[ValerioZ.[ITA]]

What do you think? Not a good idea?

Us Army and Marines Cops - M240
German Army - MG3
Italian Army - MG3 or M60E4
IDF Army - M240
Polish Army - UKM-2000
Russian Army ?
Canadian Army ?
Duth Army ?

Would be nice to have a heavy machine gun kit.

Well, Actually this is a MMG (Medium machine Gun).
The HMG (Heavy Machine Gun) is suce as the M2 .50 Cal (Vehicle Mounted, or Crew Served)

But yes, i agree, but its been mentioned before (The British have the GPMG, i.e. very similar to M240 )

I know it's been suggested, but with the new deployment system, it's far more reasonable. All the DEVs have to do now, assuming a 0.8 appearance, is remove the 'assault mode' for the HMG, which means that it can only be fired while prone.

[NYgurkha]

M240 is being used as a GPMG not in the HMG role. It would be great to have that distinction between Light, Medium and Heavies, but in reality they are allocated according to the number of soldier (ie. platoon, squad, company etc. etc.) and the current use of Squad Automatic rifles is great.

/ive seen the PR Gympy model around places.

the main problem the devs have is these guns are belt fed, and they have no realistic way of replicating it IIRC

Yes.
The Britsh have the GPMG L7.
In Europe, the M240, MG3 and M60 are classified as HMG.
The M2 are supporting means.

AGHH!!! My bad, I clicked on this from the "new posts" section and assumed it was in PR Suggestions. My bad! Sorry for the 2 second lock

Reopened. Yeah, please, get some guys working on this, especially for the factions already in PR, then hopefully we can see them added. Hopefully I'd love to see the added firepower of the heavier machine guns

They make allowances for other game features, such as parachutes. If they wouldn't remove all parachutes because there are no animations, why would they exclude HMGs (MMGs, w/e) because there's no way to properly animate a belt-fed machine gun?

It would make a convenient excuse to deny the idea, though.

[Tirak]

The SAWs, the US and Brit one anyway, are belt fed, just because they're housed in a Box mag doesn't change the fact that in that box is a belt of bullets.

[charliegrs]

this has been suggested by alot of people including myself but it seems to get shot down everytime.

hehehe,you have 666 posts
I would really like this to be added

[STORM-Mama]

In what way would they be better than the LMGs gameplay-wise?

Yeah, with the new deployable version of the LMG in .8 I don't think there is a need for this kit...

...........this isnt a suggestion thread. I was hoping someone was actually undertaking it as it is in community modding. Someone [OP] step up and say youre gonna work on this or its getting locked as a resuggest in the wrong place.

Community modding is NOT a place to simple say "I want this in PR, but its already suggested and I dont want my thread locked for a resuggest, so please, please please please, someone take up this job, please!!1111!!!"

...

[OkitaMakoto]

On second though, locked. If someone wants to undertake this, go ahead and make a WIP thread in community modding about your work. COMMUNITY MODDING is not a place to simply suggest things for PR.

If you are working on something and would like assistance, you can always place a request in the proper location for say... someone to help you make "such and such" a static. But as I said, you are not to use it to simply ask for someone to make something for PR as a whole... thats just crazy and serves no purpose as we already have a suggestion section. If someone sees something they wanna make, they will step up and make it.

Thanks,
Okita
