A fairly pointless little topic as the changes will never happen but I'm currently trying to get gold on the mounted machine guns / TOW and it's really hitting home that some of them are in ghey places.

Using Karkand as an example I'd love to move the MG from inside the little cabin at the end of the bridge near the Gatehouse and stick it up on the high wall to the left, the nearby TOW needs to come out so that you can aim down the length of the bridge *and* the road on the waterfront.

The roof mounted MG at the suburbs needs to be angled more towards the city to cover the approach in more detail - it drives me mental when I can see people but need one more degree of rotation to hit them.

The MG at the spawn US spawn point before the Hotel needs more rotation too, I want to get those little tinkers that go up the hill towards the other spawn.

So what mounted guns would you like to move and where would you put them?

MG on top of the Square?

Two on the roof of the TV Station at Sharqi?

I still think the TOW at the hotel on Sharqi that can hit the MEC shopper at spawn is one of the most entertaining things in BF2.

they just need more of them... no wonder people are getting the ground defence badges through commanding in them...

the only legit way i could think of earning it would be on sharqie long range towing the mig28 from hotel but then u could probly count that as spawn raping / killing

The mounted stuff should be removed and replaced by unlocks. Like Day Of Defeat, where you can deploy your machine gun, giving you extreme accuracy, this would also stimulate the AT class more, since TOW missiles are a tank's worst enemy

An other legit way get in the mounted MG in the tv station and kill the guys coming over the hill on the left.....I got mine like that, had around 34 kills that round just with the mounted...

I've now decided that I want the all the mounted MGs to be replaced with the guns from the Essex, and have them on rails... no a monorail....

I got my gold using the MG inside the palace. The one that faces the second floor cap. If enemy has that flag and your team has third floor. You can put some serious ownage on everyone coming out of that door and those that spawn in the hall. I got 40 kills in one round doing this. It was really funny seeing this ppl just keep on coming out the door right after they just got killed.

The Palace on Warlord Map. forgot to say that.

Excellent tip by the way, I must try it out.

The mounted MG's on the front of the palace are a big no-no though since any occupant will recieve a sniper bullet to the face within 10 seconds.

I got my expert with the mounted MG on Sharqi at the City Entrance facing up to the hill. Chucking a few medpacks constantly below my feet whenever I got hit, nobody took me out and I just gunned down loads of MEC who were running across the hill...on a full 64man server

Pretty much every single MG, TOW and AA in the game needs moving. I find that (at a guess) 5% of them are in useful positions, the rest are a waste of time and will get you the odd 1 kill.
The MG's needs either more rotation or moving to decent spots. They have cover in the form of sandbags or concrete blocks.
TOW's need moving to decent positions, with both a bit of cover and a decent LOS. A lot of them are useless unless the tank is within 5ft of the TOW itself.
Its kind of hard to explain where they need moving too without loads a piccies!

The first mec base on Karkand facing the second one, i saw in a bf2 promo vid that there was one there, but it must have been taken out, would have been good.

personally, the only thing I think that should be different is the mmounted MGs need a bit more protection at the back when they are in the stone cabins. to avoid them being overpowered, make them destroyable. make then about the same as AA for strength ( they are ground defense, AA is air defense) and as for TOWs. make it so they can fire at any angle, and put some covering the TV station on sharqui/ warlord, to deal with snipers, ditto for other high- up sniping spots, like the jahlabad hotel. but not for cranes. in fact, i would like cranes to be destructable, same strangth as commander assets. 2 packs of C4 per crane and the thing should tumble over in the direction of the blast. if it hits anyone, they die but teammates cannot punish.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. That is one of the better placed TOWs in the game.
Another one would have to be the TOW at the Substation in Mass Destruction.
The best MG would have to be the one at the Surveillance Post in Sharqi.

..I think those are my best chances for obtaining a veteran ground defense.
