RE: [SGII][WW2] Here we go again.

My take on this issue is that the idea isn't to make
every bullet count, the idea is too use the immense
firepower of say, a quad .50 to supress the enemy
until flanking fire can be brought to bear. The issue
of 20mm+ multiple mounts is different altogether, snce
they can and will fire HE projectiles. One 20mm HE
wont do much, it might hit the wrong side of a small
tree or fly past, but four such projectiles, fired at
a rate of about 450 rpm, is bound to cause havoc in a
manner completely different from an MG.
Then there might be some more losses.

I have no idea wht this can be made up into in game
terms, but I just felt like I had to throw my $0.02
into this... :)

Now, feel free to expertize this to shreds. I like
getting my opinions thrown overboard. :)
