Still unbeatable vs OH and OKW.

nerf did basically nothing as once you flank one you have another supporting.

Completely ridiculous

ask NW fresh.

For the love of god

Reduce suppression and durability of the squad. MINIMUM 30% each. Damage also needs a slight nerf. Its a broken exploit currently.

Maxim spam is easy.
When you're loosing to it it's either you were surprised by it and didn't adapt accordingly or it's a major L2P issue on your side.

its no where near equally viable after maxims gain map poistion. Mortars and Snipers cannot wipe maxims squads fast enough vs their re-inforce time. Zis barrage adds to the pain. Nerfing rotation time for maxim did absilutely nothing. BECAUSE YOU ARE SPAMMING and TURTLING THE maxims. Just like you do with siege tanks in starcraft. You can reinforce squads with merge as well which allows them to keep chugging along.

I just think the way soviets are made is fundamentally broken in theory, far too many advantages and cheap moves like button and ridiculously cheap mines. Units are just far too multifunctional and dominate their equivalents due to the key advantages they have. They also have diverse options that can be changed far to easily in game

As long as relic refuses to admit that 6 man MG squads are a problem, maxims will be an issue.

By the time you've made 3 maxims you should have enough mp to get an at-gun out before or right as the enemy is getting their flak ht out. Then after you have done this you can simply proceed to spamming moar maxims. 320 mp to take out the one thing countering you isn't that bigga deal on the whole mp spectrum, especially after you've got you're initial 3 out.

Sanatorium rofl stomped NWF and he said any reasonable player that does it reasonably well can overwhelm top players.

It really needs to be looked at. Balance is good atm.

But there are a few game breaking devices that are ruining it

I.e. Maxim, T-34 85 call in, Panther being too expensive or severly UP, ISU152 and IS2 + US Bar blob and USA AA truck. and OH grens needing a slight buff

Once these are fixed we can have good balance

^Don´t try to use logic against him. It´s not very effective.

actually, why are they 6 man?

if you compare the 2 mgs of the vanilla factions youll see that:

mg42 has more supression, maxim has more damage
mg42 has a wider arc, maxim is more mobile
maxim has a bigger crew, mg42 has ??

maybe the mg42s crewmen had armor once (i cant really remember, but grens had it so yeah). if so, its long gone and theres no reason for the soviet counterpart to have more men
how often does a maxim get away with 1-2 men... even if you flanked it properly and all
