V Beach in particular feels terrible to play as a defending Ottoman heavy machine gunner. You're spending the first 2-3 minutes standing there watching the Brits land in their boats, then storm through the fort and beach trenches before you have a chance to actually play the game using your primary class feature.

Meanwhile attackers don't have this same restriction, giving a lopsided and unnecessary advantage. Ottomans already have to deal with not having LMGs, now they can't use their HMGs before being overrun in the opening stage of the map?
