[@MonstersNotUnderTheBed]

Lvl 10 MG here. It's vital to have a semi-strategic mindset. You have to predict the flanking movements. It's absolutely a flank defending role and should be used to ambush. Should be looking at the map like 4 times a minute, like an SL. Like you also said, you must quickly assess the terrain and pinpoint the likely avenues of approach, the setup ambushes on those routes. Ambushes should, like you said, hit the enemy in their flank, at angles that give you cover and concealment, but gives the enemy has no C&C in your chosen killzone. Lol, and, like you also said, MG is preferably used at range. The only thing I disagree on is not giving away your position unless kills are likely. Many times, because of the ambush mindset and if your positioning is good, an enemy that at first is far off with obstacles blocking the a likely kill, will maneuver themselves into your killzone. And many times, a second or third target will appear not long after, and then when they think they are safe and alone, you open up and take all of them. The only time I shoot to keep heads down is on offense, covering friendly advances. But I usually play defensive since most people have no clue how to, or think about, defense in Warfare. So maybe a future video discussing small differences in offensive vs defensive MG.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Absolutely. You have to make some educated guesses in the fly, have patience, and keep an eye on how the battle is playing out. 👍 Good stuff man!

[@SoulSniperYT]

I think what I was trying to say is that the element of surprise is very effective for the initial ambush. Not that you shouldn't fire unless you're likely to get a kill. In fact, when I spoke about smoke I recommended firing into smokescreens even though you can't see anything. But yea, there are differences in strategy depending on whether you're attacking or defending.

[@mypizzaisburnt7904]

This is a fantastic comment!! Offensive vs. Defense MG is quite different. I love both. (: On defense, MG can be the savior + on-the-ground leader for the squad so SL (esp. inexperienced ones) can coordinate with command etc. and learn since MG is thinking about potential approaches, etc. On offense, gotta be a bit more careful so as not to suppress enemy position before squad is ready, thus giving away position.

[@33Rooster]

Serving as a machine gunner in the marines you’re spot on, playing a machine gunner in hell let loose is like second nature but still tricky to use the terrain to your advantage. It’s so nice to have a blueberry machine gunner who knows how to talk guns and use actual machine gun employment tactics

It's worth noting, never underestimate the suppression power of hip firing whilst moving up with your squad/team. I've had some good success almost leading an assault by laying down suppressive fire on the move. I've had multiple occasions where I've pinned down a large number of dug in enemies whilst storming them. Getting into a trench system and going full on rambo, spearheading a rush. Some of my most intense games has been playing an offensive MG.

@@SoulSniperYT hell yeah! Hope to see you on the battlefield....but as an ally! Lol

[@loyalpiper]

8:40 I've actually developed a fairly effective squad tactic for clearing houses and such . If an enemy holds a stair way I usually run outside and hip spray through the nearest window provided it's close enough to the guy holding them, this works in most cases allowing for a team mate to get a grenade off. Although it does take a good mag of ammo, it's not often a problem as I always ensure I have someone in the squad as support. Similar methods for clearing corners in urban area can work well provided you can have your squad providing accurate fire while you maintain suppressing hip fire going around corners. It takes good timing and competence but a good squad can achieve alot of things.

[@SoulSniperYT]

If you've got a squad who coordinates those types of things with you that's awesome! I'll give your window spray technique a try if the situation presents itself!

I played MG for the Allies on the road to Carentan map. I just so happened to catch a spawn wave of 10 or 11 german players, me and another MG who happened to be by each other absolutely lit them up I love this game

[@caelib8229]

Great video! I have recently started using a lot of the tactics you suggest and it definitely works! On maps like Hurtgen Forest, I keep my engagement distance at least 300 meters - this has the added benefit of keeping you at a safe distance and also eliminates a lot of the concealment foliage the enemy would have if they were closer. It is difficult to tell if you are scoring hits at that range, but I am always surprised by the number of kills at the end of the match.

[@SoulSniperYT]

That's awesome Scott! Maybe we can squad up sometime!

[@Masterthief014]

I always went with the idea that the MG is the center of the squad when advancing and that the squad should be bounding, but it's a video game. That'll never happen lmao, great tips though i'll make sure to try them out

[@jordanryan2497]

Not always, but if you end up in a game with a vocal and directed sl and the MG is talking, you can certainly work together. I've had quite a few moments where I was or our MG was telling me when he could fire and I was letting him know when I wanted to move so he could suppress

[@SoulSniperYT]

MGs are best on defense but as shown in the video they can be very useful for supporting an attack as well.

[@YouCanCallMeReTro]

New to the game and one of the coolest thing about the machine gun is I don't really know if I get a kill unless its a headshot, at least I couldn't hear the thud. I was firing down a sightline from long range for a while as my team was advancing and apparently I got 5 kills but didn't even realize it.

Definitely agree, do not set up on a wall where your head is obvious. Use corners, walls, essentially blind 20% of your FOV and you’re much harder to see. Helps if you switch up after each wave you take down.

[@jameskincaida.1316]

Roads are the BEST lines of fire for MGs. Hunkering down in the middle of one that's close to an objective always scores me a ton of kills and denies the enemy an avenue of approach.

My best MG game I had was inside a little shack just 100m in front of the defensive hardcap. Allies covered me from the back while I had one flank in my sight. And as enemys tried to sneak up on me I could quick peak them around the corner. Ammunition and grenades were the end of me and we lost the point after that - unsurprisingly.

[@Jordan-ql6tm]

Appreciate these videos, glad i found this channel

[@macauleyirish1707]

A good strategy in a desperate defence situation is teaming up with a 2nd MG, if you can funnel the attacking team into one area by having both MG player fairly close to each other and covering a wider area or covering both flanks it will give your riflemen support in the fact they can concentrate on the blind spot between both MG nests and allow a counter attack to push forward and create a new line of defence. Also, if you have managed to pin point an area of high enemy activity, 1 MG begin to fire and as they run low on their ammo belt the other takes over to allow for the 1st to reload, this will allow a continued suppression on the enemy preventing any breakthroughs

[@instathrill8845]

Its always a good shout to do some research before you jump into "mil-sims", or before you jump into anything for that matter. Check out how different nations employed what tactics to make their weaponry effective. Military History Visualized does fantastic vids as an example that takes you through the tactics and doctrine of the Nazi war machine.

[@jakejenkins748]

Another tip. When mounted on a window ledg or partly broken wall. Depending on the direction of the enemy location. You can turn the opposite direction to cover yourself while staying mounted to reload or avoid incoming fire

[@SoulSniperYT]

Actually, this was debunked by another KZbinr. In first person it looks as though you are behind cover, however in third person as soon as you start the reload animation your character stands up straight again and you are visible.

[@rahvinci6387]

Always SAFESOC 1. Security is always first! Have a buddy if you are breaking from the rest of your team. 2. Automatic weapons on Avenues of approach! Aiming down the path enemy is likely to take is crucial! 3. Fields of Fire! Establish clear fields of Fire to avoid friendly fire and to make sure your friendlies cover your blind zones. 4. Entrenchment doesn’t apply but you can think of it as taking proper cover instead of laying in the open. 5. Supplementary positions! Know where you are falling back when shit hits the fan or sniper lands his shots close to your position. 6. obstacles! Engineers are your best friends! Have them utilize wiring and other obstacles to tunnel enemy movement directly into your field of fire! 7. Camouflage doesn’t really apply but try to avoid sky lining and standing at man height in the open field.

I usually find in most games where you can be a gunner or a sniper hiding in an open field with a little cover is always better than a window. Usually I take one shot from a window and the whole lobby is aware you’re in a building whereas in an open field they take a little longer working out where in the field you are allowing you to move or take another shot.

I looked thus video up since I just played a game on Omaha as the Germans, and I definitely messed up using this class (I am new to the game). I understood a big aspect of the machine gunner is suppressive fire, but was getting frustrated at hearing other machine guns going off while I sat in a barn waiting for Americans to cross a field that they never did. However, I will say a major problem I was experiencing was the lack of marking and communication by my squad. I’d ask where people are, and I’d get a quiet response, but otherwise silence (my teammates weren’t even talking to each other). As such, I found it quite frustrating to play this position both as someone new and someone who had no communication as to where the enemy was.

Don't be scared. Nobody's gonna have a go. People are only really toxic on team chat and you can ignore them because they're usually people that aren't doing anything to contribute themselves. Just play it and have fun. Same with other roles. And if you don't know what to do; ask. There are plenty of veteran players around, people are usually more than happy to pass on advice. When I first picked up SL, I told the squad I didn't know what I was doing and then I had 3 people telling me how to do the role effectively and they praised me at the end of the game. Gave me confidence to pick it up again and again and again until I got to a point where I'm not bad anymore. Not good at SL. But I'm not bad. So yeah. Just play mg, engineer and all the other classes and then ask for advice. That's the best advice I can give you lol.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Running and gunning with the MG is not ideal. It takes some patience and planning, particularly while defending. But with attacking, you're doing the right thing. Suppress the enemy while your squad advances. Keep the enemies heads down, and basically focus on denying the enemy the ability to effectively engage your squad.

Mowing down rows of enemies while yelling GET SOME

[@singleproppilot]

So this is why I’m such a terrible machinegunner: I move too much, I’m always at the front of the advance, and I’m not patient enough to just deploy my gun and wait for the enemy to come. I always get domed while trying to deploy my MG, or shortly thereafter.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Playing MG while attacking is a different play style than defending. And in my opinion, more challenging. You wanna focus more on providing covering fire for your buddies to advance their position. Once they've gained ground, follow them up and set up again. Rinse and repeat. But as I stressed in the video, positioning is super important when playing MG. Don't set up in obvious places the enemy will be expecting you. Maximize your sightlines while making the enemy sightlines to you as small as possible.

Nice video! Good job!

Seems weird to me that more people don't understand the mg I fell into it easy but I prefer to hang back and smile so it was similar.

[@mr_p_191]

This helped i got 63 kills with these things 😄

[@SoulSniperYT]

That's awesome, nice job!

[@manhalen7046]

The machine gun effectiveness metric has nothing to do with kills or point targets (people), it is an area target weapon (sector of fire). If you're using it you should be shooting at areas in your line of sight, not necessarily specific people. The effect that it has on an enemy is to paralyze them if they're attacking/maneuvering on you and to put their head down if you're attacking them.

[@SoulSniperYT]

Well said, dude.

That's what dreams are made of! Epic dude.

[@B-uk8eo]

Only 2nd time playing today, support weapon, 3 to 5 round burst then rapid...5 kills without dying... Im playing on xbox, only issue, no onw talks!!

[@robertlaube574]

Dont pop the first thing that moves. Let the first and second dude advance a little (if possible), then open up Bro aim down sites and put the smallest of black dots on your screen with a sharpie, itll wipe off the next time you clean your screen.

That's good info but every now and then it's a lot of fun to Leroy Jenkins it up.

[@toasteddingus6925]

Nothing more fun in this game than playing sniper+MG+ shotty buddies. Just three people can wreck a team. Sniper to find the enemy, MG to engage, Sniper continues to call enemies and fires at people looking for and firing at the MG, all while the shotty gets about twenty meters left or right from us, ABSOLUTELY HIDDEN TO THE ENEMY, catching any enemies attempting to flank us. Absolutely murderous.

[@TeoSaint1212]

thank you

[@michaelhinton2738]

This game is intimidating 😳 ive only played once and i did ok kill wise but i didnt do shit i was supposed. I picked rifelman cuz i knew i didnt know shit so atleast i did that right

[@CODZOMBIES-ml2sm]

Remeber I sat in one house behind enemy lines for around 32 minutes, had 67 kills, FIND A HOUSE/FIND A WINDOW, you’ll have more kills then you’ll know what to do with Edit: also constantly switch points of fire, go to a different window or bush, makes you look like a squad and can really effect the enemy on how they’ll approach you
