It suppresses on a hit, and pins on a direct hit. The suppression is indeed short and hardly makes a difference when barraging random target. However, during infantry engagements the suppression gets broken later because of small arms fire. This makes the leIG a pretty good infantry support weapon now.
Pretty much this
It's not a tool to keep a squad pinned, it just makes them hit the floor.
If you get pinned in a firefight, though, it can last an age unless you're in green cover. Infantry support weapon doing its job fine.

Can you elaborate what you mean with hit / direct hit? For example I was shooting at a capping Conscript squad, first hit took down 1 member, second another, but the Conscript squad didn't get suppressed.

Depending on how much goats you sacrifice to the rng-god it can be good here and there but not realy worth to be build.
If anyone could upload a replay that shows how good this thing can be and what it does better then a much cheaper mg or a stolen mortar i would realy like to see that... So far I´ve tried to get this thing doing something good, but to me it´s not worth it.

That is strange. Might have been a bug perhaps? I've used it in 5 games now and it has worked like this:
Shots lands near enough to cause some damage -> Supression.
Shots lands directly on a model, killing it even when at full health -> Pinned.
Killing wounded models with splash damage -> Supression.
I'm not sure if cover bonuses are calculated too with the leIG. If it does, I suppose units in green cover may avoid suppression on non-direct hits. I have to do some more testing with it to be sure.

I will watch the replay tomorrow just to be sure and then tell what happened, going to sleep for now.

too bad that the 120mm doesn't have any cooldown...
This is true, but suppressing also does reduce reload speed (multiplies it by 4), so I think suppressing actually should reduce the 120mm's fire-rate by a ton.

Cover didn't seem to play a big role, most of the shots were in the open, sometimes maybe yellow cover from previous shell crates.
