Nope, you just came up with that.
You dont agree with the ingame force multipliers, not me.
All I don't understand is why the mg42 and Maxim are same price

What are you talking about? I said nothing of the sort about force multipliers
Literally the 4th post in the thread:
...MG42 has a faction quirk you should take account into aswell.

Because HMG42 is OST. I said it already. But it seems you missed it.
Yes faction quirk is irrelevant because you're still not even responding to my point... The mg42 should be better than the Maxim. It should just cost a little more or the difference in performance shouldn't be this great. That's it
That claim does not at all conflict with the idea that Ost is a "team weapons faction".

The maxim is in a weird spot, its supression is kinda meh without vet but i dont think it needs a buff.
its rather mediocre performance early on gets compensated by a durable 6man crew, decent damage and a fast set up time. you cant really buff the maxim without taking away its upsides
any buffs for the maxim will result in the old maxim spam meta, which is a scary thought. i guess you could move some of the vet2-3 bonuses to vet1 or vet0 but thats about it but im not even sure thats needed.

No I didn't. I already IGNORED this exact point
USF is supposed to have the strongest mainline. It does. That mainline is also more expensive than grens, who need a tech building
"Ost is supposed to have the strongest MG" is true. It has nothing to do with whether or not it should be the same price as the maxim, which also needs a tech building

I cant get even simpler to make you understand. Strong has nothing to do with costly. An expensive unit is less often spammed. A strong unit secures a game style. Strong TW encourages TW strategies. Strong Mainline encourages its use. Its a core unit. Just that.
Tech building is offtopic, it depends on the faction tech tree and limitations. Price does not determine performance. It determines efficiency and abundance.

The old maxim was op because it was very mobile and supressed a lot faster then now. Its mobility and supression where lowered substationaly in exchange for a larger arc and a price and build time increase.
The deathloop makes the durable 6 men crew quite redundant imo. Its not more survivable then a 4 men mg.
Since they cant fix the deathloop just make it 240mp again. This wont make the maxim spammable just as the 10mp for volks didnt stop okw spamming them. It will still be a worse mg just with a slightly lower price then its much better counterparts.
Honestly the best way to fix Maxim is to leave it as is and allow it to upgrade into the DHSK later on.

@Mr Carmine
I remember when the I played Soviet in 2014 or so. I hated how Maxim arc is only 60 while MG42 has 120. MG42 was just too much better.
When I got better at the game, I enjoyed how fast Maxim setup time and incredible suppression.
Until Maxim get 90arc and lower pin & longer setup time. It becomes the worst MG.
Old Maxim rewards good players a ton. While newbie cant use it.
