Do what too well, crit components? FWIW, I hate the entire concept of crits, but if that's all that needs to be nerfed, then fine, but the range, spread, and damage should be left alone.

I will also point out that the cLMG has slightly better spread than the isLMG; they can probably fix that, too.

They crit great and at a fantastic range. Realism aside (because that ship long since sailed), but proportionally, they are too effective at too long a range imo.

That being said, I'm certainly not calling for them to be nerfed. Everyone can use them, they aren't behind a paywall, so I enjoy using them. I just think they create a mild balance problem. Hence I believe PGI will nerf them sooner (much sooner) than later.

The original MG.

Reason.
Why not LMG
At the effective range of LMG, i will poke, not expose myself continously;

Why not HMG
Twice as heavy, but the DPS is less than twice, plus less damage/ton ammo count, plus shorter range than standard MG make dishing out the potential damage very difficult.

Light machine guns.

I only run HMGs on the Ember Firestarter.

LMG only, even on faster mechs.
You save tonnage and you have extra range and you destroy components a bit faster then other mg.
200m is best range for any kind of mg, and lmg will be best at this range.

Maybe they crit stuff. But as main weapons, e.g. on a Huginn...they are next to usless
