I'm relatively inexperienced with the Dshk heavy machine gun so I wanted to know how they stacked up with the maxims. Would they be a replacement for the maxims or just counter against early vehicles.

Thanks lads

1) DSHKa absolutely horrible against light vehicles.
2) IMO DSHKa is viable only if you tech through T1. If you go T2, you'll get better effect with maxims.

Speaking from 4v4 perspective.

Though the dshk says it is effective against light vehicles, don't expect it to do much to anything stronger than a kubel.

If you look at the stats dshk & maxim the suppression curve for the maxim is quite puzzling. I personally haven't used the dshk since the maxim got buffed so I don't have a feel for how they compare

Its basically a more expensive maxim at this point.
Only worth it if you're skipping T2 and want an mg.

Wow I never looked at the Maxim Suppression curve before... that's odd.

Basically you're paying extra MP for better damage and suppression. Maxim does have better Aim time and faster bursts. I haven't used the DSHK myself yet since its been buffed but its worth considering IMO, using Lend-Lease it options up T1 starting options. As said above, its AP ammo is nothing special compared to the rape that is incendiary rounds.
