Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section. Excellent work!

It is necessary to slightly fix the support bracket.
In the case of my model, it is hidden behind a shield and its movements are not so noticeable.
Hm
I think I should try to make alternative triggers - which were in reality, and not those that I originally did.

UPD.
Made an updated version: I think, the attack animation now looks better, because the soldier no longer rests his face on the triggers.
Also now MG has a bit more place for ammo and ironsight.

the Americans had m1917 MG which looks extremely similiar to maxim MG, so no need for weapon swap i guess

Perhaps but the gun was used mostly in the last months of the great war, as with most American kit during the great war. There were many pieces of American equipment that was slated for use in 1919, only for the war to end in November 1918. American soldiers, for the most part, used British and French kit.

You missed some triangles on the top of the tripod.

Also, one side of the MG is UV mapped differently from the other, is this intended?
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 : (
If you want that, i can do it to save you time.
Anyway, well done!
Edit: the jaw is unanimated

Hey Syczewski :peasant-waving:

The Stand Ready animation was built to look like a reloading animation, and to be short enough to still mix with basic attack delays in vanilla Warcraft 3

Technically speaking, it'd have been wiser of me to include the reload in the attack animation instead, but it's already part of the base animation skeleton, so I probably won't be changing it, or at least not any time soon since I'm behind
