With exception of DSHK which does not do the 2 jobs it is supposed to do:
- stop blobs
- deal high damage to light vehicles using special ability

The Dhsk always suppresses on the first burst and does really high DPS so while it may not stop blobs like the .50 cal or MG42 does being caught in it's LOF hurts really bad.
And it does high damage to light vehicles using it's special ability, the only thing it can't pen 100% of the time using it is a Puma or PII.

The DHSK does have nice AI damage and does suppress 1 squad quickly. But the AP rounds are more for show and not worth the resources. It does less damage and less penetration than the HMG42 with AP rounds and it's easier to save your light vehicle from death by driving out of the arch. I'd welcome anyone to show me a replay or cast where they have been able to use this ability with a reasonable degree of success, because I have never personally see it have any major impact on a game (unlike MG42 AP rounds that tear up infantry and light vehicles alike).

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Alex, start providing replays of you getting huge successes with DSHK if you think its so awesome.
I'm tired of your apologetic bullshit, apparently you are the only player in game who is able to use DSHK effectively and efficiently as no top streamer up to date was able to.
Stop with the excuses for bad weapon or prove already its as good as you claim it to be by providing a WINNING games on decent skill level on both sides.

There is no recording in all WW2 history of a piat actually knocking off a vehicle. Yes, it was THAT bad.

DSHK suffers from the same issues as the 50cal.

Actually it suffers more because of how it turns and because of narrower arc.
In theory 6 men are the only real advantage, in practice, they stick their willies into each other and get blown to pieces by same amount of nades or lucky mortar hit as .50 cal.
Both Soviet MG's fail to do enough to control blobs

The AP rounds are fairly cheap and got an indirect buff from the basic pen of the Dshk being increased. AP rounds increase then pen by x4 meaning now it will pen at mid and close range everything that isn't a Puma or P2 and at 80 damage per burst that's pretty huge. The reload on the Dshk is also shorter meaning the Ap rounds activate fairly life quickly

At close and mid range, the arch is so small that only an immobilized vehicle would have to fear from DHSK AP rounds. Combine the ease of escape with the low DPS (yes, against vehicles it ís low, unlike MG42 IAP rounds) and you have an ability that is very underwhelming.
The only light vehicle that has to fear from the DHSK is the Kubel, but even a maxim is enough to force a Kubel back.

Tbh the most awful thing about the Dhsk is the commanders it's stuck in. Lend Lease is turbo good with the new meta but the other Dhsk commander still suck.

It's pretty good against OKW flaktrack too.

Dshk Is Actually ok against infantry, but it falls on it's face against any armour. So, again, a unit not fulfilling it's role.

For 300 MP doctrinal unit available on 2 CP it is not OK.

All the Axis light vehicles had very thin armor except the Puma and PII, so they can fairly heavy damage from MG fire, the .50 cal is really good this patch be it for stopping blobs or driving off enemy LV's.
The Dhsk just suffers because A. low far pen, and B. small cone. and C. Vet ability isn't as good as Incendiary Rounds which are by far one of the best abilities in the game
An already muni starved faction (OKW) is now more muni starved and still can't build caches.
