Doesn’t the French 155 TD (I forgot the name) also have a guy manning the mg

I know the Mle something something has a manned MG, it was an event vehicle so it’s not seen very often

Looks very proofy to me.

This its how its supossed to look (pic reference from a toy). More elevation than other german tanks.

I cannot find any available render with MG on engine deck.
I see that Shrek found it in CDK, I will ask why it’s not in game.

MG mounted there would looks really bad/weird and provide very limited cover against aircraft.
It’s a bit different situation than for some other, similar looking mgs already mounted on vehicles (where, for example on 15 cm Pz.W.42 it’s the only mg that can be used for soft targets/fences/bushes).
TL;DR - there are no plans to place mg there.

the SMK have this

and it’s really not that good at all but sometimes if there was AA behind me maybe i get lucky to kill it.

Also the IS-7

image at least it’s better than nothing and could help against lights / AA like the m56.

meh who knows, it could work wonders, by taking out enemy engines, or It might just end up tickling em, but at least I can use it to kill little scorpions >:) , considering the Hull MG on the Jagd is dead generally like 85% of games. Plus if it’s in the CDK then why not have it in game to?

Or it would be like a Modifikation who anyone who wants in his Jagdtiger can use it people who doesnt want can remove it like Tiger ost net camo

Also T-26-4

Hi, can you also please ask, why the Coax MG 42 of the Sd.Kfz.251/9 was removed in Warthunder, when the model already had it modeled? As well as the back AA Mg 42.

Any news yet @Stona_WT about whether we’ll get it or not?

i mean you could say the same about a lot of guns in this game like italian low tier MG or M4a1 mount which have limited angles
