asgrrr -> Motorcycle MMG? (11/14/2001 10:42:00 AM)

This german unit apparently consists of a motorcycle with a sidecar, the latter mounting an MG34 machinegun. I have a trouble with how this can be classified as a medium machine gun, and awarded the firepower this entails. The mounting is a simple pintle, accurate aiming is difficult when sitting in the sidecar, the weapon is not crewed by extra members to supply ammo and change the barrel (at least not when moving, and this unit can fire after movement, unlike regular MMGs) and if dismounted the weapon only has a bipod. A real MMG has a stable mount carrying the entire weight of the weapon, fixable in elevation, with a dedicated crew. The motorcycle weapon has no advantages over an LMG that I can see. I recommend a change in armament to MG34 LMG in v7 if that is still an option.
