Not a ban on MG. Timing and ego check. Axis defense specifically on Frostbite and Adlernest.

If they plant and you are still on a dead angle, you already lost. Swap to rifle and fight plant.

One shot. Then reposition. Always.

Panzer exists for a reason on defense. If they overstack courtyard, one good shot opens the retake.

If it has tracks, I'm shooting it.

MG is free on the first push. Second push it is a trap. I have farmed and then thrown rounds doing that.

If I am the only one near plant and you are camping ridge for style, I will say so in voice. Not toxic. Just true.

Stop running past the packs. Please.

Rule of thumb: first contact MG ok. Once plant is threatened, everyone plays the objective. Password hour will enforce that soft culture.

Call the strats. Mute the mic spam.

On pubs I still see four MGs. That is a different game. For clan nights we play like we mean it.

Utility first.

As a new guy this is useful. I thought MG was always correct on Axis. Glad I asked in Discord too.

Still learning the smokes.
