MG is my favorite class to play. When attacking, I like to try to move off horizontally from where my squad is pushing from and suppress the enemy positions. Often times the enemies get too concerned with looking for the MG and so my squad will surprise them.

[@michaelcuellar403]

That’s a real military strategy. It’s called fire and maneuver.

[@betteryou7hanme]

Best starting class. Forces you to slow down and be more conscious of your movement and positioning. Great way to familiarize yourself with the pace of the game, without needing to worry about the additional mechanics, and responsibilities of more specialized roles.

[@PianoDentist]

If you're in a flanking or patrol squad, can be useful to pinch and suppress the enemy spawn wave from the side as they advance. Will at least give you team time to get their numbers up to defend a point.

These are great tutorials but also very entertaining 😂

[@kagkag1325]

Great vid thanks

[@gingiway8029]

Even though I probably shouldn't, as a fairly new player I love the MG class and just mounting up and dropping people

[@SGhosht]

You’re new and dropping people ?!

[@Eric-mc5to]

@@SGhoshtas machine gunner it is easy lol especially on offensive, I’m around level 180 now but back when I started, I’d get 15 or so with assault in a whole game. In two points on PHL defending I got 83 with the mg34 lol

[@dannyhoward3437]

The tracers attract return fire like nobody’s business. I fire a few short bursts, then wha-ping!

[@barking_mad6649]

At night it's horrendous!

[@brendano4196]

You try to position yourself so at least one side of you is covered ideally. But yes you attract a lot of fire regardless. Still fun as hell if you can do it right.

[@bartisreallykewl]

Don’t underestimate hip firing the MG. Especially at close range the volume of fire is a real vibe check once you get the hang of it. I recall seeing a better player than me hose four guys and stop a flanking squad dead in their tracks. Fear not the man who has shot 1000 guns, fear the man who has shot the same gun 10000000000 times.

[@Beaguins]

So far I'm no good as an MG. I can't seem to predict where the enemy will be and sometimes I worry that I'll get hardly any kills over a whole game. I also try to take a different angle to my team's line of attack to clear what's ahead of them or flank the enemy, but some teams don't move together and some MGs aren't very mobile. Do you have any suggestions for me?

[@moxey25]

As soon as you fire the opposing team will zero in on you

[@moxey25]

Ps I fired 4000 rounds 8 kills

[@jd646]

You suck then

[@ShockDeed]

But what if the front lines needs a machine gunner ?

[@cloroxbleach3367]

Why is the bren better than the Lewis is it just personal preference or is there a stat difference besides mag count and rate of fire I'm new to this class so I genuinely don't know

[@marcelinotorices1718]

The Lewis gun can't aim down sights unless the bipod is deployed. The Bren gun can, alongside having a bipod, effectively making a versatile machine gun that can outperform the Lewis gun in 90 percent of scenarios. The only advantages the Lewis has over the Bren is the ability to destroy light vehicles and I believe it is better at suppressing enemy infantry.

[@cloroxbleach3367]

@@marcelinotorices1718 thank you for the explanation!

[@tnad22]

What's the difference between a level 3 American machine gunner and level 1 assault class ,

[@azraelsleeper4634]

Just a different loadout
