For the stationary HMGs you build around firebases. And ones that are mapper placed. I can't see any reason to keep the delay. Maybe not instant, but 2-3s to ready the weapon would be enough.

dont remove, reduce.

yes reduce, got my support.

isn't it like 3 sec already? at least on the vehicles like HMMWVs and Landrovers it is i think.

No, no its not. I think it is about 3 sec to be honest.

The ones in firebases sure, the machine guns on vehicles, never.

Deployed HMG - 8 seconds
Static HMG - 8 seconds
Deployed AA - 20 seconds
AA Emplacement - 10 seconds
TOW Emplacement - 20 seconds

I would like to see all of these cut down to 1-3 seconds.

It's not like any of these move, and it takes team work to build 2, and the other 3 are only seen around main bases. Also the fact that there's no way to use your binoculars while on them.

and how long would it really take to climb onto one?

about 3-5 second i think.

Except the AA, that would be very spammy, as powerful as it is, just hearing a heli and thinking "oh, better pop in now". Tbh you should be dedicated to it, not pop in when you feel like it for the win button. Same with HMGs really thinking about it.

yep. would become to easy to take down aircraft!

yeah that sounds a bit to realistic?

It should depend on how long it would take for that sort of system to be usable in real life.

The tank turret's cupola HMG needs little fixing, because if the turret is warming up and 3rd person hops to the MG, he cant turn the mg until the turret itself is warmed up.
Are they tied to same warm up node or what? :s

I agree with the reducing the time idea.

I too support the reducing idea.

no i think its over 3 secs, but lets face it. how long does it take you to remove safety, **** the weapon and aim?

True, but so should everything in that case. Ie, no 5 second wait between hellfires and many other things. But stingers do take a while to set up iirc.

yeah, reduce it.
I always need to ask my one of squad member to stay on the HMG to keep it work,
otherwise when the enemy found us. We can't use the HMG to defend the line.
Because when the enemy see us, then you send a man to use it.
They can kill him easily. Made it useless.

Maybe we don't use so much time on preparing the HMG in reality.

Dont forget that we still have (fun, even) gameplay to be concerned with as well.

Don't Agree! Leave it as it is!

When used correctly the assets are very powerful!
IMO Reducing the time would lead to increased single manning
of multiple assests.
