Hello Guys!
Question do you use the american HMG? From my experience it cost more, but does less then any other HMG's out there. It has no survivability, supresses poorly and kills poorly. What is your experince with this paticular unit?

Best supression and damage for an HMG, worst survivability conceivable, From its 300 hp(all other guns have 350), to a 4 man allied squad with 25% accuracy penalty, to the 35 manpower it costs to reinforce. It does damage, but it almost always dies if you lose a fight or don't retreat it incredibly early

US faction build encourages aggressive play so everyone gets a M20 or go with the mobile supression AAHT its just that the HMG wont keep up with the rest of forces, if you need a superssion RE units with bars will do the job in 2 secs ( i meant volley fire with BAR).

Did you play it in the COH2 Beta? It got greatly improved in its behaviour/reactivity :)

Still if the HP is low it is a glass cannon not worth your time, because one grenade will wipe it out.

Against Ostheer, I wouldn't recommend the HMG as Mortars and Rifle Nades are a bit too nasty and will need to many unhappy squadwipes. However, I find them quite useful against OKW as they don't have the best anti-MG tools ever. In particular, they shut down Obersoldaten quite nicely as long as they are well-positioned beforehand.
