Default Re: The Effectiveness of Flanking MG Fire

It depends entirly on the gunnner and the weapon he's using. Many HMG's when set for LR fire only allow limited vertical adjustment wheras side to side movement is not as resticted. It also depends on the range you are firing the weapon at. Firing from 300 yards puts rounds through every hex between the gun and the target at pretty much the same height wheres if you are firing from 1000 yards you would need to aim higher placing the danger zone closer to the target. We don't model grazing fire in the game

The squad leader board game had this kind of grazing fire rule where everything between the target and the gun would be affected however, what you see in both WinSPmbt and WinSPWW2 gives a good general representation of fire straying from the target hex and is not going to be changed.
