What to do with the MG34?

Jump back to quoted post19 Aug 2015, 01:20 AMAlexzandvar

The new delta formation on MGs means in the open it's really hard to wipe the maxim with riflenades.



The MG34 doesn't have a very high ROF.

It has the second highest ROF of all other MGs with a ROF of 12. Only the MG-42 is higher at 16.

It has a longer aim time than the MG42 does, fires less rounds than the MG-42 while having to reload just as often while of course doing only half the damage.

So you're saying it's worse than the best MG in the game. No argument there.

Okay so here are the results of my tests of incendiary rounds on the MG34:

-M20: N/A rounds wore off before it could kill it

-M3 Scout Car: 16 Seconds

-USF AA HT: N/A rounds wore off before it could kill it, killed the MG crew the first time It tested it

-M3 Half Track: 15 Seconds

-WC51 Truck: 14 Seconds

Better results than I expected. Now compare that with the maxim, I bet it's much worse

There really isn't anything that's worse than it except for maybe a handful of units like irregulars. I tried to test it's AoE suppression but every time I threw a blob into it the blob always won

You've gone too far. MG34 is by no means a great unit but to say that it's in the same class as irregulars is disgusting and basically a crime.

Why do you insist on saying "mg34 vs blob" as if none of your infantry or vehicles are supporting the Mg34?

I think it's fine. It's quite an annoying unit to fight against when used with support.

You talk as if you can just ignore an mg34 while facing an OKW blob combined with unit like a flak HT and camo raketens.

Vs USF, mg34 is decent.

Alone, or isolated,yes it's a joke in that regard as well. But that's how all MG should(are)be.

They shouldn't be" oh I has an mg now dis map is lockerino"

The maxim doesn't have AP rounds, but I guess your trying to be snide.

And before you talk about the suppression being better than the maxims: the only range at which the MG34 does more suppression per burst is at 15 and closer while the maxim does almost twice as much suppression per burst at far. The only advantage the MG34 has over the Maxim is a larger AoE (by 3).
