No hard attack, maybe +2 soft attack and +2 defensivness with no movement modifier at maybe 2 IC.

Lol machine gun units are essential in every company-sized and larger infantry units. So adding a machine brigade is just like adding several more tanks in a tank division.

The tank on top of another tank is an absolutely historical and realistic option. An armoured division doesn't have a single type of tanks. I am tanking about tank divisions here, not tank squadrons.

+1 for tanks on top of other tanks. "Double Tank".

We could take it one more step and make it a tank on top of a tank on top of another tank :p

Well, for tank on top of tank you might want to look at this or this.
But back to MG companies: Maybe a three-tiered techtree in the Armor/artillery field?
1. Maxim/Gatling, 2. WWI start MG 3. Interwar MGs until inclusion as organic part of Inf. units.
Migfht be worth meshing it with mobile AA.
