this is related "when to fire" question. . I usually have my machine guns fire around 500-600 meters from the enemy in support of infantry squads. since infanty combat seems to be more deadly compared to mbt, enemy squads tend to kill my mg crews by rifle fire from around 500m. am I just too close to the enemy, when firing? how far away should an mg be to be safe and still effective? too me 500-600meters is the limit.
I usually keep my HMG and MMG units set at max range with the rifles turned off. Their main job is to harrass the enemy at long range and keep their infantry far away. At those longer ranges they are also likely to stay unspotted.
