I think its suppost to support the infantry. You cant see really much in a tank. So when the tanks slowly goes forward with the infantry taking cover behind it. Some poor soul from the infantry ( or the tank?) is upp there handling that thing.

A pure guess XD

jup
the game is wrong the gunners where on the back of the tanks most of the time
same with the greyhound

[Pac-Fish]

Then how do they use it :3?

[Sommarkatze]

They stand back on the tanks back. Making the turret like a wall you stand behind handling the mg ^^

Sherman v Tiger Kellys Heroes

Here is a clip from Kellys heroes. ( One of my favs!) And there you see how they use it ^^

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Would be redicilous cause you are more protected while sitting in the tank turret I think.

[Sommarkatze]

Ofc Walki! Thats absolutely true. However. The mg is placed in that way so if you are going to sitt in the turret hatch operating it. You are going to have a hard time aiming it . ( Notice that the germans had these mgs in the hatch itself making it possible to move around sitting in the hatch.)

 The Sherman otherhand had it in the back or on the side of the hatch. So if the turret doesnt move in that direction it could be hard ^^

[Pac-Fish]

Looks like the gunner is pretty exposed

[Pauly3]

you try to take a pop at him while there are 50.cal bullets all around you man, real life is nothing like CoD 

[Pac-Fish]

Thats y u ambush him :3

Do those buildings from wehrmacht and PE base on true buildings in real life? Most PE's buildings look like big ass bunkers.
If those base on real buildings, please provide some pictures, I really dont know what keyword I should use in google (

[Pac-Fish]

How about something along the lines of "German WW2 Barracks" . IDK if that works . Or "German WW2 Depot" or even "German WW2 headquaters"

[Dann88]

I have tried, nothing special. German barracks actually look alike most other nations' barracks. What I want to know is: those buildings in CoH was inspired from real things or they just come from Relic's creative imagination 

[cephalos]

you know... paint shells FTW 

[GodlikeDennis]

They're inspired more from bunkers than actual buildings, since units aren't actually constructed on the field obviously. In reality, Germans would use tents the same as US forces in the game I would imagine.

[Sommarkatze]

you know... paint shells FTW 

I think the Americans should have this abilety ;P <3

And no. I dont think there was any factorys disguised as bunkers producing war material 1 mile from the battlefield XD
