Uploading so that I can send this to Dane/Relic.
Just some evidence that HMG42s don't need to be buffed.
Cheers.

Take this with a large pinch of salt as I have not watched the replay or am familiar with Dane's thoughts on the MG42, I assume he has made them clear in the closed alpha. But Crossing on the woods is up there with Langre as an Axis favoured map, they suit Ostheer ideal ranges.
Personally i'm fine with the MG42, its pretty lackluster until it hits vet2, and then it gets a big jump in performance and becomes imo the best HMG. Due to a variety of factors, such as the traverse speed and the general size of coh2 maps, an out of the box MG42 at vet0 in the early game can be pretty tricky to use in an already fragile early game for Ostheer on some maps.
But sure, that's what makes Ostheer interesting and fun, probably the most rounded faction which can use combined arms, which is pretty powerful, albeit if you feck up your positioning it can all come apart very quickly in the early-mid game.

Yeah vet0 mg42s have terrible traverse speed, I guess the gunner takes some steroids when he hits vet 2

saying machine guns are good on crossing in the woods is like saying shock troops are good on stalingrad or jagdtiger is good on minsk pocket. Nobody is arguing this point

Dane is just crazy enough to try and argue this exact point, it is the only reason I uploaded the replay

Except you're brilliantly missing the point. Splendid work Ciez.

Cool story Dane. I appreciate and fully accept your gracious complements. I'm glad you think that I'm brilliant and splendid
You made my day good sir!
