Delay Firing MG42


(schmeisser) #1

I play MG42 soldier a lot in long distance harassment mode. Noticed an odd problem. If you have to get up in a hurry while under attack, say an enemy sneaks up or blunders into you, you stand up, try to fire, and the MG42 won’t work for 3-4 seconds, by which time you are dead. Is this some kind of automatic feature attached to even out a firefight? The MG is already insanely inaccurate at close range, why make it completely useless? Is this a bug?

That’s the time it takes to collapse and stow the bipod.
