Machineguns Seem Too Effective

[troopie]

Ever fired a machine gun, or been under fire from one? They seem to be about right to me. And the effect varies with the target. A heavy tank will be able to shrug off machine gun fire, as far as damage is concerned, but it is distracting to the crew

Precisely. Crew-served small arms are far superior to individual ones (including riflemen), specially trained snipers excepted. Once again the game gets it right.
