ADD heavy 50.cal machine gun on desert

[sand moss]

I Was recently playing on the desert map when i noticed a player standing behind the 50.cal unusable machine gun behind the sand bags. I think we should make this usable because it provides a direct aim into the enemy and it would add a little spice to the game. I figure they would be much like the ones on somme, or at least have the same mechanics: does not appear in inventory. cannot move with it. hold "f" to sit and opperate. the thing that this game is missing is something like a heavy machine gun with a stand. I don't know the name but these type of machine guns have been in use for 80+ years appearing in the second World War and there still being used to this day. we have the minigun and the MG turrets but they dont' provide a sense of realism, if we could make these MGs usable it would add a little more realism, and another heavy machine gun to WB

Honestly kinda dig it

But desert as a map is fine as it is

[opal sail]

any picture to help ?

[sand moss]

not vet

also im making a vid rn

[opal sail]

send me dm when you have

i'm here

[hexed bison]

Somme has its turrets

It is the only map with “vehicles” that are stationary

I would like to note that there is an entity cap

[opal sail]

for @sand moss

[hexed bison]

At least, in terms of vehicles

[rugged night]

Its 60 though right

[opal sail]

counted as a weapon

[hexed bison]

No, you can’t count it as a “weapon”

You have to count it as a vehicle

Think of Somme’s turrets

[opal sail]

humm the stats make it a weapon

[hexed bison]

Those are counted as vehicles

[opal sail]

the game too

because the kill image

[hexed bison]

That’s how it’s portrayed

[opal sail]

u know

it's mid

looks like a vehicule but it's a weapon

[hexed bison]

The real reason why I am against this is because it doesn’t make sense

Sure, it would be nice to have another MG

[opal sail]

same as tank MG

[hexed bison]

What benefit is there of having an MG?

[hexed bison]

What is the benefit of firing an MG exposed

[opal sail]

idk

[hexed bison]

Those sandbags won’t save you

[opal sail]

aren't u exposed as a player ?

[hexed bison]

Yes

[opal sail]

so

[hexed bison]

That’s the point

[opal sail]

nah i mean in general

not on the turret

[hexed bison]

Try as you might to man the MG, but you’re gonna got shot im general

[hexed bison]

This is a stationary weapon

[opal sail]

give just this MG a fire speed of APC and a bit more damages that all

and its balanced

[hexed bison]

See this man here?

He’s firing an M2 Browning on a tripod

It’s stationary

He isn’t moving while shooting, as with an AR or an AK

Not even a BAR, which is the closest thing we have to an actual MG that you can move with (BAR is an LMG)

If you were that man, you would be vulnerable and probably die

You can’t move since the gun is stationary

Plus, an M2 weighs a lot

No Rambo-style shooting with an M2 (hip firing bullets; Rambo used an M60)

Speaking of, there is the Minigun

Now, @opal sail, if this were a gun that you could shoot while moving with, what is balanced and what is unbalanced?

Food for thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMVmdM4c-eY

Dead gunner drill

Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to go prone

Okay, looking back at this, my argument is a tad bit flawed

But adding an MG like the M2 will be a challenge

M249 or M240 seems a better option

[opal sail]

its ok, i'm with the fact that turret should be a vehicule

just counted ad weapon by the game

[sand moss]

yeysyeyysyye

thats it

[sand moss]

like this but we can have a sheild that artillery has

im thinking we should rework the 50.cal thing on desert were its an m2 browning but with an artillery soin wheel and sheild

i wish i were vet

[rugged night]

I can post stuff for ya

[sand moss]

wait

hold up

its been 90 days since i joined

but

theres a bunch of other reqs

[sand moss]

that would be great

[rugged night]

Try applying and see what happens

[sand moss]

how

dyno?

[rugged night]

A form through dyno

[sand moss]

idk how tho😭

[opal sail]

yes but whack in faq

wait

rules

#faq message

[rugged night]

Just fill it out and make sure you are truthful :)

[sand moss]

lol

i did leave the fridge open while playin gWB

trust

[faint meteor]

Game cannot support exposed player models on "vehicles"

Like the turret for example

Either a new use system would have to be designed or a entire vehicle rework

[faint meteor]

Minigun is theoretically heavier with more recoil. Perhaps

11 rps might make it easier

And the broker tanks .50 recoil like its nothing

Would be funny as a handheld perhaps

But as a mounted turret it couldn't work.

[sand moss]

game; get better

[faint meteor]

.

[sand moss]

why do the devs have to be poor...

and timeless

tbh im poor to

but...

we need more devs like plok and nandy

and more designers

[faint meteor]

Uuuuughhhhhh

[sand moss]

i dont code but...

when hold down "f" for x seconds place figure No.1 in x position

[sand moss]

explain?

[honest lagoon]

Past suggestions used the term "turret" when describing it. It's been suggested a few times and it's not currently plausible since there is no distinguishing factor between the turret vehicle form and the person vehicle form. You become the turret.
The game need changes to allow a person to be independent of and shot separately. This goes for motocycles and other open vehicles as well as for shooting through windows of the Cars.
