The point is not that a player has to micro. It's that one army requires considerably more micro than the other. I think since no-one is spamming mg42s while a lot of players are spamming Maxims, we can conclude that the Maxim has a considerable advantage over the MG42. If there was an OP issue with the MG42, I'd be calling for that to be nerfed too.

The power of MGs should be offset by low maneuverability, limited cone of fire, set-up time, etc. The maxim has a very limited cone of fire but a rapid set-up time. Effectively it can fire in any direction 360 degrees within the same time it takes for the MG42 to swivel from one side of its 160 degree cone to the other.

MG42:

benefits:
suppression
large cone

Downsides:
low damage
very slow set-up time
slow swivel time
small squad - sniperable

Maxim:

benefits:
suppression
good damage
fast set-up
less sniperable

downsides:
Very narrow cone

The fast set-up time negates the effect of having a narrow cone. Effectively the Maxim is all + no -.

This is your post in thread "What the .... is up with the germans ?"

"But I don't get why I should destroy my fingers trying in keeping up with 1000 APM just to stay alive!"

If you don't like being forced to do 1000cpm, why do you feel other players should?

For all of you who think that MG42 is useless and worthless.
I am by no means a pro or even good player. I consider myself decent I roughly know how to use MG42 though. The one I forgot about doesn't count :) And as a bonus you will see PzIVs destroying ISU-152.

Quite simple. A good player will still try to use its MG42 both offensively and defensively. Living the Mg42 sleeping in a corner or in a building it's a L2P indicator. Try to use it offensively with your infantry. I guarantee your fingers will hurt. :). Maxim on the other hand, can be easily used both defensively (there is no real difference while fighting from a building, compared to Mg42, except its crew), and offensively with a simple A-move due to its fast deployement time and absence of "owhwaaa" at the german side. Speaking of it, It's quite amusing to see soviet maxim catched off-guard when you try to flank/attack it with AGs. They are no used to deal with fast running infantry lol.


it's affective when using offensively with support. conservative =/ not using.

You can't have a maxim in not-set-up mode. The maxim (and DHSK) always automatically set up once they stop moving. This makes the bigger arc of the MG42 more than just a small advantage in a variety of situations.


You can however reface it without packing up, something the MG 42 gunner cannot fathom for some strange reason.

Edit: Whoops I was on an old page.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:
