I would like to see manual reloading be an option on mg's so you can get a full burst and suppress a unit if you had the time to micro and reload before an engagement. Cheers

YES. The mg42 gunner always finds an excuse to not shoot. There should be a way to control his stupid animations, because he starts a burst and then suddenly reolads, so the enemy isnt yet suppressed and i lost my point because the gunner wanted to collect a shiny shell for his collection.

It would be so useful! Nothing more annoying than an HMG reloading after the first shot.

How about automatic reload after say 15 seconds of being out of combat?

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

Such a good idea, can't +1 enough.

Either manual reloading (preferable) or automatic reloading would be fine.

PQ have stated why this will never happen.
Its a drawback of superior cover that allows you survive snipers.

I rather prefer a manual reload rather than this if possible.

Get on maximum range of MG.
Kit first shot.
Wait 15s.
Run forward to the MG.
????
Profit.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

1+ It's super annoying when the mg sets up only to reload after a couple of shots. Lost my mg42 more times then i care to remember that way. A manual reload or just an automatic one after a few moments of inactivity would do wonders. I would rather get caught in the middle of a reload rather then running out of bullets after a few shots.

Incendiary rounds should have an ammo counter, and not be determined by time too.

Maybe the HMG should just 'regenerate' ammo when out of combat and only reload when it runs out (from sustained fire in combat). Then you don't need to worry about it only having 2 bullets loaded because of an engagement 5 minutes ago.
