eh, maxim spam really doesn't bother me. it's not very exciting for etiher side but neither is sniper spam, rifle spam, gren spam, volks/ober spam, t34 spam, the VI B, or a bunch of other stuff.

as a current balance issue i'd rate maxim spam as "medium"

Maxim spam is a problem in 4v4 games, but you have A LOT of fuel and can actually rush for a Stuka. Problem solved.

Playing OKW 4v4, make a post about stopping the maximum spam

First off all. Tripwire so gud, 10 ammo for a whole dead squad ? + sight.
Vehicle capture point can win games, blitzkrieg save a tank. Fair Deal i think

I will simply lol at anyone expecting such a change to a 2 year old general use infantry.
Equally possible are pershing for USF, IS-3 for soviets or ober nerf for OKW.

Maxim spam is excellent proof that USF, Soviets and OKW are all pretty equally cheesy. It's no more annoying than Volks spam or Rifle spam.

2 vs 2 OKW can't do much vs well used double soviet maximspam- truth.
No problem for ostheer -i just get double mortar.

Maxim spam? Weak and extremely boring to use...

Conscript spam is much better and more interesting.

Call out falls or Jaegers from buildings, get p2s, get a flak ht(support it), get a stuka, get a puma, get an mg34 to help suppress them all.

Also, use your volks as meatshields to take on the suppression while you send in your Ubers to snipe all the maxims.

Also obligatory for anyone complaining about it:

honstly 2 and 3 maxims each controlled by a differnet player isn't spam. alteast in my eyes.

Failure is always an option.

It's a happy massacre?! (yes, yes it is!)

Theres "common" spam and hard spam.

Most people call 2 M3s, 2 snipers, 2/3 maxims spam. Then we have REAL spam like 3+ snipers, 4+ maxims, 3+ M3s, 5+ Cons etc.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Calling anything spam is pointless in my opinion, since the game meta is so based around using a large amount of 1 or 2 types of units spamming cons is just as legit as spamming volks or riflemen.

If there was a lot more unit choice than there would be a point to calling it spam, but when each faction only has a small about of viable units then nothing but spam versus spam is what you get.
