MGs as main armament.

[kouroumidis]

A German HT 251/sMG can use its CMG (main armament) during its movement phase in order to kill enemy AFVs?
I know that a MG in order to be used against an AFV using TH and TK tables must not have its FP halved for any reason.

A MA MG is actually a Gun per the rules, and can be used to attempt a TH DR even if halved, unlike a SW MG.

Interesting. I never knew that. Can't wait to use it....

Do you have a rules reference?

If the MA happens to be an AAMG on a HT (as an example) would the turreted or non-turreted DRMs apply for bounding/advancing fire?

Do you have a rules reference?

D3.53: "... the FP of any MG firing during the AFPh is halved instead, unless it is MA attempting a To Kill DR as ordnance (A9.61)."

D3.54: "A vehicular-mounted MG may not attempt a To Kill attack unless it is the vehicle's MA."

GUN: "(for firing purposes, any weapon on a 5/8" couter currently firing as ordnance)"

C5.3 EX: "MA AAMG would add +2 DRM (Case B only)." [Last sentence.]
