Been seeing a lot more Machine Gunners these days as people reexplore the old strats. You hit the nail on the head with its utility here. Personally, I've been having a blast with this loadout: Eruptor/Redeemer/Stun Grenades -Machine Gun -Guard Dog (Liberator) -Orbital Gatling Barrage -Free pick depending on what you want
For me it will play a big role again when i get Freedoms Flames. Already got Democratic Detonation. Thats the build im looking forward to: - Primary: Torcher - Secondary: Nade Pistol for closing holes - Nades: Thermite for the big bugs - Strata Weapon: MG43/Auto Cannon. Former offers better crowd control while the latter lets me snipe nests. Both crush medium bugs - Napalm Eagle - MG Sentry. Firepower on demand. That cooldown makes it amazing. - Gatling Sentry/Jetpack/more bullets/etc. Whatever i feel like mixing in. Thermite and MG43 offers great synergy with a less recoil and +2 nades armor. Cause when shit hits the fan and there re lots of big bugs only 3 Thermites can be a let down. Less recoil speaks for itself. And i dont like having to rely on orbital boss killers. Cause their cooldown makes you have your pants down way too often.
If your fast enough you can kill chargers and behemoth with the machine gun. Just use stun grenade, pick 900 for the fire rate and destroy their butt. Not that easy since its easy to get attack by somethin else but with some practice they're only really bile titan that machine gun cant handle
The only thing that makes the Autocannon BETTER is Peak Physique and the the equipping of 3 additional offensive strats. Paired with an infinite ammo primary like Sickle or Blitzer

MG43, eagle air strike, orbital precision strike and auto cannon sentry. 95% of my dives

I just got this game and I can't tell you how useful it is to have for taking on patrols.
@captaindookey one of the first stratagems you get is very good at higher difficulty. Just build around it for anti-tank and you'll be fine
