Maxim aoe suppression is too much

Jump back to quoted post4 Mar 2021, 23:59 PMDerKuhlmann

On some maps where you can´t flank, maxim is king.

You can´t even frontal assualt it cause it will suppress 3 volks even though they arent even near each other.

And thanks to our dear balance team, maxis just doenst die due to the new formation buff.

And if you wipe it, conscripts near it will just clean the rest of your volks, cause 7 man and recrew it again full, and taliho, the nightmare continute.

Great BIPPING job

The ability on the maxim is actually super amazing and will suppress everything everywhere. I think most people forget it even exists... but it's awesome. You can 1v1 every hmg in the game with it and win, even against incendiary rounds on mg-42s.

The reload ability? I thought it just speeds up reload. It affects suppression?

Doesnt he mean sustained fire? It significantly increases burst duration, doesn't it? That increases suppression through an overall greater rate of fire.

	Name: "Sustained Fire" Duration: 30 Seconds Cost: 15 Munitions
	+100% burst length duration. +50% reload speed. -50% weapon cooldown. +25% suppression. Forces a reload at the beginning of the ability. Ability disengages when the unit is told to move.

This makes it do a lot more damage too. Very strong, but balanced imo when you compare it to the other MGs being able to kill light vehicles with their abilities.

I still think the idea someone suggested previously to make Sustained Fire a toggled ability was quite interesting, too.

If it was toggled, it would have to have some kind of drawback to it.
