Was DShK overnerfed?

Also anyone who doesn’t think the Dshka is at least a top 3 MG needs a brain scan, the thing is a monster.

The only necessary change to Dshk is to remove the "sprint" ability.
No, Dshka has a bugged retreat where it's in slow motion for a couple seconds and the crew clumps up, making it super vulnerable to greandes. Sprint is super critical for making retreats when in danger by bypassing the bug.
It's also not as good as you think, it usually doesn't apply the speed boost as much as you think and I play Dshka every game so I know.

Dshka is amazing, it just sits in otherwise mediocre doctrines.

Sprint is an ability that is not suited for HMGs. If it has issues it should be fixed in another way.

I've been running Lend Lease as Soviets for the past few months, and I've stayed in top 200, so it's at least viable. Defensive Doctrine shuts down OKW hard.

I'll still take an MG42 over it though.

Nvm, forgot its in soviet airborne, I heard thats pretty good in 1s. 2/3 of doctrines are mediocre then.
Point stands though, Dushka is great, doesn't needy any changes.
The only "problem" i think it has is that it's not really worth a full commander slot, not when you can have Shocks, or Guards instead and steal an MG42 later on if you need it.
I never play 1vs1 though, so my POV is different.

While it has a VERY small arc, fast set up, sprint, which allows to relocate extremely fast, and extreme suppression, as well as damage, it's good. It's doctrinal and costs...300MP? That's the only thing I don't understand.
All these things before make it reasonable for what it gives, I mean being doctrinal and having a small arc, also having a retreating bug, which I've never personally encountered, thus do not know about, but I think that the unit is already pretty micro intensive. Oh, and not only the arc not wide, but also not long, so that too.
I think it's cost, and only when you order an entire MG team, not a drop, should be lowered to at least 280-290, that's it.

DShK is not UP, that's for sure. It has really good synergy with T1 build-orders.The only thing, which i would like to see - visual one, AP rounds should have same visual effects, as MG 34/42 have.
I would like to see original green tracers for german mgs

Lowering the cost would be a bad idea. Triple Dshka with Quad AA is extremely oppressive and should not be encouraged.

If this unit goes well with T1, which is already pretty costly, then lowering the cost is good enough, especially if it's just 10MP or like that.
I mean, if it goes into T2 build instead of the Maxim, it also wouldn't hurt nor heal.

It doesn't make sense such a heavy MG is so mobile but limited in defence
