As you see it requires an exposed crew member to fire I’m fine if they wanna add that

WT is a game not a simulation.

Yes and currently roof top machine guns over perform

No they don’t. You point about them being “ghost operated” is valid, but aiming speed is about right for what is possible for them.

About the only situation where someone would say a roof mounted mg is OP
Edit: should be noted that 9 times out of 10, they are also turning their turret toward you. This effectively doubles the speed of the mg because it combines the mg rotation with the turret rotation.

Still remember the time those type of clowns that crying about M830A1 until gaijin make it useless now?

Lasering and firing a proxy round requires full rotation of the turret and is governed by turret rotation speed, roof top MGs aren’t affected by either
Roof mounted mgs are affected by turret rotation. If you turn your turret with the mg, it effectively adds the turret rotation to the turning rate. If you turn the turret opposite of the mg rotation, it effectively subtracts the turret rotation from the mg rotation.

Yes yet the MG itself isn’t affected by the crew skill.
Yeah, because they are the same weight as an MBT’s turret.
Why don’t you get better and stop heli rushing?

I tested it several times, and got an average of 2.66 seconds to go 180 degrees

Rooftop MGs have 90°/s rotation speed for pitch and yaw, so it in fact does take 2 seconds.
See for instance the rooftop .50 on the M1A2:
Not to mention there is this “inertia” factor or something so if you switch directions, it has a little delay as it takes some time to slow down and get up to speed again.

It’s the only thing that a tank player can use to defend himself against a heli rusher

Yeah… because a 7.92 is a really deadly laser beam against tanks, man those Leopards are really destroying top tier right now, killing all tanks in a burst of HMG

he propably hates the roof mounted mgs of the leclercs the most and always dies to them

There really isn’t a problem with them… especially at low tier. Sure you can kill a Puma with a .50… but you can also kill a Sherman with most anti aircraft guns anyway. So it kinda goes either way

I’ve turned a 20 mil Oerlikon at a museum in france once and that thing could move easier than Expected

Ah yes, make it even harder for ground forces to counter CAS. Sorry, not really an option here.
