Machine gun assistants questions!

[miraoister 1]

I have noticed some mods have soldiers who are machine gun assistants, do they carry more ammo or they have a special animated role? Does the machine gunner and assistant need to be scripted or in synch to work together?

Thank you

nah there isn't any interaction between the two. asst. machine gunner is only there for the squad to be complete/realistic. some asst. RPG men carry rockets though, or so i recall.

shame, animations of machine gun teams would be good. my grandma whos german (and a female!) has an amazing story of shooting at americans during the war,

Resting her MG42 on her buddy's shoulder? Shit looks pretty cool. You can do that in ACE for example, have your buddy crouch and look at the ground while you deploy on their back and blast away with whatever you have.

well she was a n auxilary in the luftwaffe, she had already been engaged twice and both times the fiance never returned, both were pilots, anyway by the end of the war, she her unit was ordered to retreat, and she found her found having to load a machine gun, when surrounded by americans, she has lots of other amzing stories, but sadly i feel you have step back and wonder how much of it is true...

ive seen the ace animation, its cool, but i thought it was a cut scene.
