Default Re: HMG splashes

I don't consider it a game quirk Don. The type of MG's which have splash ability for the most part are Infantry tripod models. These weapons allow for locking in the weapon and adjusting fire within set arcs. These weapons are capable of indirect fire though the use and training on this capability had become for the most part a lost art. I feel this gives the infantry weapons a slight edge with balances the game. Armored units firing their weapons would most likely be doing so on the move and not in as long of sustained fire as an infantry model. An infantry model would set up and stay in place while it fired so it could sweep and fire longer bursts. This is one aspect of the game I think works out real well.
