Default Re: MG 34 - MMG/HMG what's the difference

Marks description is the most detailed why we added a HMG version to the game along with the MMG and Andy's is the basic answer. There were a number of reason to create a HMG version with the scope being the tipping point but the points Mark brought up weighed into decision as well........ and YES....from a "real world" standpoint the weapon staddles both MMG and HMG....but this is not the "real world" ....it's a game and things like this have to work within the games framework and in this case adding a HMG version.......for all the reason Mark presented.....made sense

From German Infantry Weapons of World War 2 by A.J. Barker Arms and Armour Press 1969 :- "Because the Treaty of Versailles prohibited the Germans from manufacturing "heavy" machine guns (which in a modern context may be interpreted as medium guns), their designers set out to develop an all-purpose weapon which could be called a light machine gun but which could be adapted as a heavy weapon."

Regards, Warwick
