The most important task of the light machine gunner is to stress out the enemy with suppressing fire, NOT to kill. I see a lot of people staying on the exact same place, looking for a kill (using the lmg as some kinda "sniper rifle) , wich is not the main task of the LMG gunner. The LMG gunner should always stay close to his squad, to provide suppressing fire during a attack and more importantly, during a retreat! During a retreat the LMG gunner covers the back of his teammates, by suppressing the enemy with short burst of his machinegun. Don't stay around for too long, but keep moving untill you and yur team are safe. Here are the most important things to keep in mind when your playing as LMG.

1. Don't use the LMG kit just for the high fire rate. I know it's fun to mow down entire squads with the LMG, but helping your team to move to a location safely while you provide covering fire is more important than just getting a few extra kills

2. Don't stay at the same location, but keep moving. Go to prone, fire some rounds at the enemy and move on. The LMG isn't exactly a discreet gun, so the enemy will immediatly see where the firing comes from.

3. Don't waste your ammo on just 1 guy you see running in the distance, the LMG isn't a very accurate gun on long distances

4. As said before, the LMG gunnner is a supportive role, so use it that way. When you see a squadmember getting injured or killed, suppress the enemy so your medic can do his thing safely

A good LMG gunner is an invaluable asset for his team, a "lone wolf" LMG gunner is just a waste of the LMG kit
