Except for the maxim.. its a squad in its own right and needs no support. I said molatov has a decent chance of it, ie if the mg gunner dies, the next man runs in burns and dies, nect one runs in.. even if u hit retreat.
It needs no support if you act like the guy in the video and do the braindead equivalent of the Persians in 300. A modicum of tactics (IE flanking) renders the Maxim useless if its unsupported. It's also worthless against any vehicle, which can get build in T2, 5 minutes into the game.
Sorry. But anyone who complains of the Maxim being OP, or (heavens forbid) loses to Maximspam, needs to get better at the game. Simple as that.
