HMG always firing farther than their range

Hello, I don't know if it has been already highlighted but HMG42/34/50/vickers (I don't know for the maxim/dhsk) are firing farther than their cone range.

This is really annoying because sometime you are really far from the edge of the cone but still get fire at and suppressed.

On the picture below you can see the cone far limit (3 dots on top of the riflesquad in the middle) but still rifles are suppressed without entering in it. Worst, to me they are quite far from it.

from my experience they do it all, so it is balanced in that perspective Kappa.

It's something to do with the range being display from the centre of the building instead of from the weapon iirc. In other words, the range is being displayed incorrectly, not that it's firing past its range.

Hello.

Noticed that too. i was first outraged then i realised that the cone start from the axe of the building and is différent from the gun (lets say the maxim) by its shape.
Primarch is true, the gun fore from the window and the range indicated is incorect.

Hum, I need to test it when the MG isn't garrisoned. I thought it was doing the same.

I believe hmgs have extra range in buildings. Especially taller ones.

This is a bug that has been spotted multiple times in this patch. Currently the arc is drawn from the center of the building, which is incorrect, it should be drawn from the window in which the MG is firing. As a result large buildings "lie" to you especially badly about how far the MG can shoot.

For the moment give buildings a wide berth if an MG is within them.

I have experienced this too, and I find it most frustrating.

This is a UI Issue. The Firing Arc is being Drawn from the Center of the Building and not from the Weapon itself. This issue is in our database.

Thanks

if you select the HMG in the building with TAB, the arc draws from the HMG. annoying, nontheless.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
Last Thursday, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
Last Tuesday, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
Last Tuesday, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
