What about a price decrease in the Maxim to 210?
Then Maxims will be spammed when used since that's what one tends to do with cheap combat units.
So even if that made it balanced, I have my doubts people that lost to it would feel it acceptable.

That's every HMG crew. None are automatically wiped with support/retreating the moment someone goes into them.

I can justifiably say that the MG42 is worth two to three maxims, for the same price. For reasons I cannot tell. And need no micro at all.

Relic stream confirmed that the maxim is bugged and didn't receive the incremental changes it was supposed to. Meaning it will get it's incremental accuracy and search modifiers buffed next hotfix.

Permanently BannedAs narrow as the cone is with the lack of aoe suppression, they'd might as well make the maxim like 1919 rifles.
Remove the cone limitation entirely, so it's only set up or not with 360 degree arc of fire. When setup it supresses. Buff damage to satisfaction and make it expensive or be a conscript upgrade. Season to taste.
It barely works as an HMG anyways, might as well drop the facade.
And it's unique too. Look Relic, asymmetry! Your favorite!

Maxims dont need a buff...
Since their setup and unpack time basically means theyre an LMG squad with suppression...
The only thing that needs changing with maxim is the squad clumping.

Also let's add setup/pack time and limited arc of fire to LMG42 cuz basically it HMG without suppression.

I think you're missing the point of a HMG....

... You have to pack up and re-direct a lot more often with the maxim than you do with an HMG42. 1 is easier to flank but can set up faster. 1 is harder to flank but sets up slower.

Keep in mind that the fast setup time also allows you to a-move the Maxim, and use it in a more agressive manner.
At the same time flanking an HMG42 is more deadly, same goes for nading it, a Maxim will still mostly get out... except it's crew decides to bunch up again
So yeah, i kinda have to agree with VonIvan here. If the crew wouldn't bunch up all the time, it could certainly make more use of it's better durability.

The maxim has some pros en cons that already weigh up to the pros and cons of other HMGs, the only difference is that the maxim does not do the 1 job it is supposed to do unlike other HMGs.
