That one is a Verdeja, but thats not WW2.
The half track must be a Legion Condor’s one…. But that gun?

Let's broaden the scope. This is an infantry game, and tanks die but a single death.
Found this in the woods the other day. Who wants a crack?

It looks as a Browning M1917, but the tripod is unusual….

Sadly off the mark this time, Don Juan.

Well, you're right that it is a Maxim variant, but other than that you're still a ways off...

Maschinengewehr Modell 1911 or MG 11?

Strike Two!
There are two enormous tells on the gun, in addition to the tripod which has been remarked upon.

A Finnish Maxim M/32/33. Note the filler cap on the water jacket for adding snow to cool the weapon.

A new Cadillac will be delivered to your home next week.
Yes, those foxy Finns really knew how to take perfectly good Red Army weapons, improve them and turn them on their former owners to greater effect. This was originally an M1910, mounted on an improved tripod with an optional AA configuration, firing a modified 7.62 x 53R cartridge in steel belts instead of the original cloth type. Cyclic rate improved from 600 to 850 rpm. The big giveaways are the Finnish-made optical sight and the genius of the snow cap for the cooling jacket.
You can just see some recruit on winter maneuvers in the late 20's saying to himself, "Why the frack am I carrying a 3-kg water can out here while my balls are freezing? Get me a can opener!"

Wow! I can only imagine the sound of a Maxim at 850 rpm.
BTW, I'll take my Cadillac in the form of a CTS-V with the manual transmission, thanks!

I can only guarantee that it will be long and dark, shiny and black...
