Is it just me?

I too have had questions about using MGs but over time I have found that if used in certain ways they work much better than if just left to blast at anything.

At close range they are very vulnerable to return fire so i try to set them up as range weapons. I also Zero them and fire them only in my turn and often only a burst or two, this seems to work better than just firing at will, also keeping them grouped if they come in units seems o help them and finally using them as area weapons is much better than firing at one, I can button tanks, suppress whole platoons and raise merry hell if I hide them well, zero them on the enemies turn and use them less as aimed weapons and more as a cheap from of artillery.
