A .30 caliber machine gun with just a gunner gets one leaf template. A bipod mounted .30 caliber machine gun gets two leaf templates and has a crew of two. A tank mounted .30 machine gun counts as a bipod machine gun but only needs a crew of one. A tripod mounted .30 caliber machine gun gets three leaf templates and has a crew of three, gunner, loader and commander. A tripod-mounted machine gun may fire indirect fire if it has a full crew of four, gunner, loader, commander and spotter, it will use three leaf templates.
A tripod mounted .50 caliber machine gun gets two leaf templates and has a crew of three, gunner, loader and commander. If they use a fourth crewman, a spotter they may fire indirect. If there is no loader the machine gun only gets one template. Firing indirect fire will use two templates.
A tripod mounted machine gun may fire at a tank. A #1 hit is the turret machine gun. If it gets a #2 hit on the turret it is an optics damage that will cause the tank to fire at -35%. A #3 hit is the hull machine gun. A #4 hit on the upper hull it is a driver’s vision slot and the tank is limited to no more than 50m per turn unless the driver looks out the hull hatch. A result of #5 or #6 on the hit location die does nothing.
