Half track question

[LEGXXIIPRPF]

i have fired a couple of thousands life rounds with the redesigned version of the MG42, in the light, heavy and the mounted (truck and infantry fighting vehicle) version. here are my thoughts:
definitively it is much more difficult to fire from a vehicle. the weapon is not well fixed as the machine gun serves also an aa machine gun. when you fix it you have a limited field of fire. turning the weapon costs more time than in the dismounted version. secondly the angle for fire is poor to fire at dismounted adversaries.
besides that there is also the psychological factor.....at least for an infantry man. :) you feel exposed and you ARE exposed....no melting into the country side.the protection plates protect only against small arms fire caliber max 7,62 and light shrapnel fire.
additionaly imagine the halftrack moving around and you have to fire in slow or even full movement...really bad aim.
in my opinion the vehicle mounted mgs should be less effective than the dismounted versions. perhaps a bit upgrading would be more realistic.
In the Panzergrenadiertruppe the driver and a least another guy remained in the SPw.
