Media was promised, media is henceforth delivered! I'm proud to present the newest media for the MG08/15 for the Germans along with a change in gameplay. The team had a long discussion after viewing the forum posts and fan E-Mails from the Trenches community. We realized that while our two man machine gun system may be complex and realistic, it will probably never be used properly in public servers. Therefore the existing module of operation will still be usable in clan matches, (so don't worry you realism teams!) but we also have a firing mode for public servers. During 1918, American "BAR" gunners used special harnesses to "run and gun", sweeping an area with automatic fire so they could put suppression fire down on a specific area while on the move. We realized that this is an essential ability for our machine gunners as well. The worst feeling in game is to be a machine gunner trying to deploy your weapon and have a guy ten feet in front of you and not be able to fire at him. Therefore, players will be able to, with a 10% accuracy penalty, fire their weapon on the move. The decrease in accuracy is due to the other hand's occupation with belt support. We firmly believe that this will allow machine gunners a fair chance to get to their outposts since they don't have pistols, grenades, or melee weapons. I hope this satiates all of the demands from the fans while compromising gameplay with the hardcore realism guys. Please leave feedback on the forums!Tested on tp_lost, MG08/15 work by Oelund, concept by DosEvil, Terminus, and the_Leprechaun. And keep in mind, he DOES have an accuracy penalty so these shots won't be on the money.
