Didn't the British use tri-pod HMG's for WW2?
British ww2 hmg - Google-Suche
To be honest, there were no wheeled MGs, be it WW1 or 2, except the ones used by russia: PM M1910 - Wikipedia
All maxim guns and its derivatives were bi/tri-poded ,except the puleymot ^
Vickers machine gun - Wikipedia
MG 08 - Wikipedia
That is why i said here:
If you want to go for a more historical accurate look, you should have based all HMGs, except the russians, on the WW2 one, instead of the wheeled MG, but it seems that what is done is done : (

The Trench Fighter uses the American Skin, so He'll be part of the American pack

I'll be updating the faction HMGs to use the Tripod if it doesn't fail it's field test, it'll just be a little time-consuming as I'm working on the American pack, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir, and trying to beat Resident Evil 4 on pro mode for a snazzy unlock x_x

The Green Berets are split between the packs as they are a sub-faction, the packs are made after unit-types rather than squad-identity, hence why the Elite German troops were merged into the Officer and Infantry specs respectively.

To save you some time, i did a quick change to the MG42 guy by copying the WW1 HMG soldier on the MG42 ,then rigging it into the skeleton, and changing the MG42 to a maxim gun.
If that is what you want, i will do the same for the british.

I love the new texture update! Much better than the older one!

Not sure about the PIAT though, here are my problems with it:
-I am sure the bazooka animations would much better fit him rather than the rifleman's
-The front part of the PIAT was open, not closed, so the soldier could put the bomb in it, here are 2 images so you can get what I mean:
451indexghgh-jpg.317573
451px-piatlauncherghghg-jpg.317574
-The bomb doesn't disappear after attack animation, when it should

Also, why the didn't the Commando get the spell throw animation?

Ah, that's-- not supposed to happen.

At the same time, I'm going to physically kill someone if I have to edit another WotK model for a bit.

I've got to update the GIGANTIC Russian pack with the new texture, and the Americans might be released by the time I finish revamping the Russians @2owk1opkfeadhoznvFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
