It feels almost impossible to keep heavy ammo with a machine gun, let alone even get heavy ammo to begin with in iron banner. I'm a decent player, it's just that I can never get any heavy ammo, and even if I do, I can't seem to keep it very long.
What strategies are there for getting heavy, keeping it, and then earning those machine lord medals?
Thanks in advance guys!

Some advice and scenarios that work for me. Get the ammo and get out of their quick. Jolder's with aggressive, field scout and rangefinder or BTRD with aggressive, hidden hand and max stability. camp a flag but from a distance so you have LOS of the enemies' approach. squat to stay off radar. Have a plan to escape should you run into too many opponents. Exodus Blue - Hang out in the back so you can see A and the entrance to B. Big open area so you can keep distance and pick people off. I do not like the other side as it is too easy to get shotgunned due to all the objects in the way. Rusted lands - lots of open areas. I like to hang by the big oil tankers to the right of the building that houses A and catch opponents coming from C. I also like to hang near the heavy between B & C. You can cover C while picking opponents off all around B. Shores of Time - Got to have B. You can squat near B and wait for them to try to cap B. You can move to the other side of B and you can catch them in the open. You can go into the circle room and catch them coming from A. Asylum - I try to stay outside of the buildings on either side and catch them in the open. The B room can be dangerous if the enemy picks up the other heavy and jumps into the room with rockets. Anomaly - I tend to grab the A heavy and take the clockwise route towards C. If I get the C Heavy, I go counter clockwise towards A. Low chance of getting flanked if you are watching your radar. Pantheon, the long hallway is your friend. These seem to work best for me. So long as I get one of the first 4 maps (and am able to pick up a heavy) I can usually get at least 1 machine lord.
