Im not really into playing anything other than vanilla COH2 but for some reason I thought I would try out the Blitzkreig mod and I was amazed by what it had achieved on just a technical level.

MG's have a dedicated reload function so it removes the BS of reloading 2 shots into a fight, I know there were talks about this feature wanting to be in the game, so why isn't it currently in the game?

Not my decision. I was for adding it.

While we are at it, there are a few other units that could benefit from manual reload, like ostwind, flak HTs, 222 or centaur.

In a perfect world, units would automatically reload their weapons when out of combat for, say, 8 seconds. It is possible to add this solution to the game, but that would require modifying files for ALL squads or entities in the game.

Waste first burst of an MG, move back whatever seconds it requires for it to reload, push MG frontally.

Doubt that would be viable, as it would require plenty of attention to execute. Plus, telling precisely when MG stops being in combat state is not obvious - it lingers a bit after it stops firing or when entities leave it's vision.

It's not obvious at first, but it would be just another game mechanic. Nothing that either experience or digging the in game stats wouldn't tell you.

Ghosting sandbags was not an obvious mechanic but it took like 5 years for it to be fixed. We had people abusing how stealth worked before it's rework or how suppression applied for everything it shoot at.

On anything other than MGs, it would be fine. But MGs relies heavily on the impact of the first 2 bursts in order to do their work.
