Sure, but who will be affected the most by those LMG nerfs?
1) Ostheer, LMG Grens: The only combat-infantry unit used, backbone of every game. LMGs are a must have.
2) Soviets, Guards: Doctrinal, and even then I dont always upgrade them. Half of the games though, you dont use the DP at all.
3) USA, Rifles: Riflemen are the strongest standard infantry in the game, they are strong even without LMGs.
So through the backdoor you would nerf Ostheer - the weakest faction of the game - even further.
He's saying the LMGs that are making the ostheer weak currently will be nerfed,therefore,making the ostheer stronger,even if it means nerfing the LMG42. No one will have a GREAT LMG anymore and that will benefit the ostheer since grens and pgrens wont get absoulutely smashed by vet riflemen BAR blobs anymore.
They probably still wont have the advantage since riflemen are supposed to be the best mainline infantry in the game. Its the way the faction was designed. its just right now the gap is too big.
And im pretty sure rifles without bars will not beat pgrens unless the pgrens are in open or charge across red cover to them.
