Have to see, too good to believe. Still HMG42 considering it now could be ordered from t0 not nerfed even close to enough. Make it 300 mp or better, as i sad, reduce damage.
And now with starting MP of 420, MG-42 will be the first unit to be trained while T1 is being built. Pio + MG-42 + Gren opening. Suppress and cause retreat of first squad of Con/Rifle it encounters and you have a nice head start.
Early fuel lockdown easily possible. Allies will have to be cautious where they run and cap in the first couple of minutes. Maybe even bypass certain areas to try to flank. But if the Axis player puts the MG-42 in a building, you're out of luck.
