I suspect it was set up to maximize the danger space. This type of weapon would be an ideal candidate for enforced area fire. There are other weapons like the typhoon rockets welded to Sherman turrets that would benefit from enforced area fire. Sadly it's probably a code thing and we ask to much of the coders already.

fraid so... Now trying to figure how to raise the suppression effect of bunker machineguns as they also don't have the area fire effect... And without it they are virtually useless against large infantry assaults which they were designed to stop Also the wild blindfire inaccuracy bothers me in that area
