The NUMBER was 3 which caused you to mod your OOB's in a childish "a fit of annoyance". Not really very impressive behaviour was it ?

If you can provide information on errors then that's fine, we appreciate it and it makes the game better but in the future do try to do so WITHOUT the ridiculous exaggerations.

As for the Marmon Herrington's, there were armed in a wide variety of ways including captured weaponry. What I was pointing out with my examples is someone else has provided info that Brens had been pressed into service as "CMG's" on that vehicle and that's how that unit ended up with that armament in the game. As for the MkIV b's, I have NO idea who set them up with twin brens but I can say they have been like that in the Brit OOB for years.


A "CMG" and a "TMG" gun in the game have the exact same use and effects and was set up that way years ago simply as a naming convention to specify their main use and to differentiate them from the BMG's and infantry MG's so IF a Bren was stuck through a hole in the front of a turret as a secondary weapon that makes it a CMG in game terms so it's not used by OOB designers as a LMG infantry weapon.
