Best Uses/Practices for: 2 man LMG units

[Colonel Talvela]

LMGs have the same suppression range as HMGs. When used for area fire, the LMG will cause any unit to want to suppress within a certain radius of the area fire point (30m in cmbb - much greater in cmak although I cant remember the exact number).

a distinct advantage they have over HMGs is that they have no setup time, and are much quicker.

So they are far from useless, and do have a nice role to fill.
