Ever since version 1 of BA, MMG rules have been an issue. Infantry MMG swere not taken because they were too expensive for what they could do, and vehicle MMGs were wildly overpowered - leading to the rise of the dakka tank. In the latest v3 preview article Warlord has revealed that they will try to address these issues in a couple of ways:
MMGs get a slight bump in firepower going from 5 to 6 shots
There will be no exceptional damage rule in v3 making MMGs harder to kill.
Vehicle machine gun shots will be halved
These all seem like sensible changes and should also help balance the new force structure options - although we have yet to see points. Check out the full Warlord article below.
Btw, pistols seems to have lost the assault special rules in v3.
