DK,

I think most are thinking of the sole purpose of recon role only. I am. I attach AT teams to platoons with good leaders to boost their offensive power, as I do LMG. My opinion is that AT teams have a limited range and may watch but rarely do much about flanking enemies. Of course terrain considerations may change that philosophy.

I may have strayed off topic myself here, but looking at the question again, I would adjust my vote from LMG to half squad. If I am moving forward and probing for the enemy or toward the objectives, then I would use half squads. I also only use the half squads that have the rifles/assault guns. The LMG in the other half squad is for overwatch as the firepower is greater at a further distance.

I keep the LMG's with the leader for the added bonus and for the firepower to be concentrated when contact is made. I do use LMG on the flanks as well to scout forward a short distance, then stay put and watch over areas that may give the enemy an avenue of approach - ESPECIALLY when I use all my forces for a drive and have no extra forces for a flanking movement myself.
