Ostheer - MG42

Well no offence man, but your playercard shows all of 5 1v1 games, all of them with Soviets, and placement matches pretty much tell you nothing until you come up agaisnt good opponents.
In general, much of the, well, disagreements on this site (apart of course from the phenomenon of fanboyismo, ie. playing only one side, while accusing the "other" of being "Wehraboos", "Allied Buttboys", etc, you cant help that, most of them are just rabid chauvinists/morons) stems from the vastly different horizons of players. I for one at times suspected that the 4v4 players who harped about Axis superiority suffered from outright cognitive dissonance since my experience playing 1s and 2s was quite the opposite. After playing a few large teamgames I can understand them just fine and in fact concur to a point.

can ppl without their playercard shown please not attack other ppl's playercard?

i think that is common sense.

Lol dude, if you mean me, just say so, dont hide behind the generalties.
I've shown my playercard before to people who wanted to see it, and I'll do so again upon request, I am by no means a top player but when last I checked I was at least in the top 200 with all factions in both 1v1 and 2v2 and have a good deal of games logged.
That being said, if you claim to have pertinent experience on any given subject while it is transparent for all (via your playercard) that you don't, expect to be called on it. This does not constitute an attack by the way, this is common sense.

I have especially targeted you several time before by quoting you. But you chose to ignore that. So I thought you wanted it in a little more subtle way.

So can I see your player card? I am genuinely curious now.

Well, same deal as before. Gentlemans agreement: Don't make it public, unless of course I talk shit but well I don't.

What happens to ALL MGs during late game when there is plenty of yellow cover around.

Also you can see that after 4 burst, the MG has to reload, therefore making the suppression threshold falldown since all the models are on yellow cover making the pin take longer.

Here you see a vet 3 MG42 and its performance. It´s hilarious how long it needs to pin a unit, even if it´s yellow cover. It´s 28 seconds of constant bursts. At 52:26 it finally has them pinned.

Indeed, it took very long time to pin, but still guards were in cover. It's not like they were charging and caught in open, like in scenarios people describe here.

Pinning is great, but main purpose is to take away enemy infantry fighting capability though suppressing it so your infantry would take less damage. And it did it with great success - look how guards couldn't finish it off although it needed a single hit.

Sadly, that vid isn't showing how long it took to suppress them.

I remember these days as well. There will always be that element that want the return to those days.

Yes this is a 3star popcornsprayer with 3 mg bulletins.Excellent performance i fully concur with you.This unit needs a smaller arc,its too good now.

Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2015, 22:20 PMelchino7

I'm gonna put it simple for you: what is your problem with the vid? We can't see the supression time and i just explained why the pin took so long.

Unit in cover + reload mg after 4th burst.

Considering the weaknesses the mg42 has to the maxim it can only suppress one squad max . Thats a problem. Why bother with a mg that can suppress one unit tops. you can just as well take one extra gren squad.

Jump back to quoted post15 Mar 2015, 22:44 PMVuther

That sounds pretty much exactly like the Maxim...at least the 42 has some chance of suppressing a blob with spotters, the Maxim basically doesn't suppress blobs with how bad its AoE suppression is.
