Actually, the upgrade is meant for more emplacement centric gameplay and their maintenance, where LMG would serve them in defending from garrisoned emplacement and getting churchills back into the fight quicker. No identitiy crisis here, just incapability to identify units role.

Why fix what isn't broken?

One can buy bren for that and not suffer the penalty. Mobility nerf that comes with vicker K is simply crippling specially if one tries to use the AT grenade.

At this point very few things are broken yet patches still go ahead to improve the game. The argument hold no water. This change would be an improvement of the current ability.

Well, that's your opinion.
I think it adds a nice flavor, gives them something extra and keeps them unique defensive troops instead of assault one as opposed to vanila ones.

In fact, I do believe more upgrades should be side-grades like this one, where you get something and lose something not for better performance, but for different one.

Why HGB tho?
There is only one player in the whole community who complained about it - you.

Well, that's your opinion.

It is simply impossible for you to avoid going personal eh?

The number of player bring up an issue is rather irrelevant. For instance I brought the balance problem with changes to the HMG-34 which was listed as "bug fix" and had to deal with heavy opposition

and not only they fixed the issue, they even further buff the hmg-34 with veterancy buff recently.
