I have been noticing that Machineguns, AT guns and similar seems easier to destroy and damage in WW2 than in MBT. I have been wondering why that is ?

In MBT yuor tanks tend to have 90, 105 and 120mm main guns. Your artillery is engaging with 105, 155mm class weapons routinely. Vehicles have higher FC and tend to be stabilised.

So in MBT, infantry, weapons teams, and guns caught out in the open in LOS or hit with field artillery tend to die quickly.

That is the opposite of what you seem to be seeing, but is my experience of modern vs WW2.

So i suppose they are statically the same ?

And ww2 follows same damage calculations than mbt ? For some reason yes, in ww2 getting the destroyed result on guns and mgs seem way more likely in my experience. In mbt they usually take damage first and i have been wondering why that is.

I have been getting similar damage results with mg than infantry in mbt.

The code is the same, the statistics differ - WW2 is smaller rounds generally and less assistance from R/F, Stabiliser, F/C etc.

Your opponent may be using single MG teams, with 1 gun and 3-4 crew versus MG sections with 2-3 guns and 6-8 or so crew. The latter will take more killing.

Ok thanks for clarification on the matter.
