MG emplacements ?

[fzuazo]

Are machine gun emplacments destroyable ?

If not, should they be ?

Re: MG emplacements ?

good question. As engineer, i've seen people in them and their damage bar is all the way down, but when I try to repair, it doesn't work. I've never seen one blow up, so I think that it is indestructible.

Re: MG emplacements ?

can they be destroyed? I don't think so.. never seen it..

should they be destroyable? absolutely.

Re: MG emplacements ?

No they can't, but as scknight said,I have seen many with empty health bars and not repairable.

No they aren't destructible. Should they be destructible? Meh. There aren't many MG emplacements on the maps that are in a strategically good location to begin with. Many are at angles where ground forces don't go most of the time, such as the MG facing the main opening road of Karkand near Hotel.

Re: MG emplacements ?

I noticed that...that allot of the MG emplacements look like they were placed blindly with no consideration for the Effective field of fire...like the two AT emplacements on either side of the bridge on karkand...the one on the gate house side is decently placed b/c it can fire behind it and down bridge..but the other side cant fire anywhere but str8, you got the fence to the right and the incline to the left.

The MG on the roof of the subarbs was placed well...but yes they should be destroyable.

I hate the MG's.

They spray bullets all over the bloody place which makes it almost impossible to cap someone from a reasonable distance.

So its safe to assume that your vote is that they should be destroyable ?:laugh:

Also I was thinking that the Engy should have the ability to deploy a TOW or an MG at remote locations....like make it so that you need two Engys to deploy one emplacement...I think it would draw more attention to the Engy kit aside from using to get your badges...

Re: MG emplacements ?

I think the MG mounts are pretty useless most of the time imo if only you can zoom in with them like on the 21st century warfare mini mod then it would be better. As for them being destructable I believe they can't be destroyed Ive seen the health on them go to 0 and it still was operational.

Re: MG emplacements ?

The MGs are mostly badly placed - no reason to destroy them. To get in them is to be sniper bait. Every once in a while they come in handy, but mostly I ignore them. If you want to use an MG get a vodnik or humvee and park it where you want it and have 360 degrees of fire.

Re: MG emplacements ?

Yeah the MG's seem dead accurate to me. I've just spray at someone really far away and they die.

lol..dosn't always work...

b/c most team mates..when they see a parked vehicle they seem to have the sudden urge to get in and start driving...do you know how many times i have been parked in a strategic place and i have been racking up 6< kills and somone gets the need to drive...im stopped just around the corner for a reason..it wasn't a mistake...my vodnik didn't break down or run out of gas.
