Only of any real use on a static front. Tens of thousands of rounds were needed and it was really only useful for a harassing or area denial mission on one fixed point of the map, fired for several hours.

Vickers in infantry bn support coys probably did not, but those in MG battalions (used as divisional support groups with Vickers, 4.2 inch mortars, and other stuff) probably still trained in the capacity.

The Z key provides enough of a simulation for such MMG fires.
