Still, I don't understand why OKW MG34 need to be non-doctrinal. You want to use it while still be able to call Jagdtiger, Sturmtiger and Sturm officer?
Otherwise, it's in two of all current OKW doctrines right now(which is 7). Why not choose it?

But what does the MG34 have to do with a Jagdtiger or a Sturmtiger?
The Festung Commander is basically useless except for the case you are facing a Pershing-Commander in 1v1 because the Pak43 won't be bothered by indirect fire. The Luftwaffe Commander is solid.

That's because they had 3 minute armored cars that chewed rifle squads apart. And yeah, they did have a MG platform, it was the scout cars that could lock down and prevent territory capture.
1. Armoured cars didn't come that fast although they came fast, but it kinda had the same place the Luchs has, only more squishy, less HP, could be damaged by small arms and comes earlier.
2. Scout cars AFAIK didn't really suppress anyone. They were relatively combat ineffective. A rifle squad with stickies can easily take it out anyway.

The range on this thing is absolutely sick and it suppresses everything that comes near it. Yes I'm serious. Is it mobile? No. What is mobile? A kubel.
Valid in the first 5 mins? Try and use your kubel a bit more carefully then.
All posts made are about situations in 2v2's. Not a 1v1 player.

That's like saying a rifle squad with nades easy take out MG's anyway so what's the issue giving OKW a MG? And yes, the scout cars in vcoh did suppress when it was locked down, it just took multiple bursts.

Why is people afraid of MG34 anyway? It's the most meh HMG in game! And what's the connection between JagdTiger, Sturmtiger, Sturm Officer and the Mg34? You lost me on that one.

You can easily take out a scout car in the bursts taken to suppress riflemen.
My point wasn't about efficiency of units anyway, it was a solid suppression platform which PE seriously lacked, and they still did fine.
The only suppresion platform I know PE had was the G43s, but that was an ability which costed muni, so it was something you had to actively choose that has consequences, unlike the MG34

My problem is that it breaks the theme of OKW anyway, or whatevers left of it.
By having too many generalist units, you end up turning OKW into OstheerV2 with trucks. And any HMG OKW gets where the player can brainlessly pick it without consequences is generalist in my book.
EDIT: I didn't say so publicly at the time, because I stopped playing CoH2 at the time then, but yeah, I don't like Sturmtiger being switched out for Pz 4 J - it took options out of OKW.
And no, I'm not too happy with all the nerfs OKW ate either.

Rather brainless HMG than Brainless rifleblob.
I am all for MG-34 or 42 given to OKW without doctrine.

I think it should be fixed by buffing main line OKW infantry instead, or maybe make Volks vs Rifle engagements equal to start with similar to VCoH until Rifles get BARs.

Lets give USF dodge truck in T0 as well, because reasons.
Thats why.
Unit is not supposed to be part of core army and it shouldn't be there.
If someone is so desperate for HMG, then either pick the doctrine with it or play Ost.
Each army lacks something, some have it in the doctrines, but there isn't reason why it should be made stock, no matter how many people cry or scream for it.
Especially since OKW already have early game suppression platform and don't need it for late game because they have multiple units with suppression capabilities already.
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.

Why would a t0 mg be imbalanced? Ostheer already has this, and it's not imbalanced. Further, it's already a doctrinal option at 1 cp so it's clearly not imbalanced now. The only thing would change if MG's are not doctrinal is that players don't have to choose between call in infantry and mgs.
Why would this necessitate a t0 mortar? USF can already handle OST which has a t0 mg, and there's no major imbalance in that matchup. I would recommend giving OKW a try at this point.
Does Ostheer have a Pak40 and schreks in T0 or even T1? How does USF reliably counter MGs?
Think about it man..
I'm fine with the MG34 being doctrinal. A T0 mortar would be needed because it would be nearly impossible to break MG spam with schrek volks and doctrinal infantry milling around them. Otherwise USF would have to always tech captain and build multiple expensive Howies to have some kind of chance. The game would already be over by then.

For once I agree with Katitof
And Pigs do fly
OKW needs other fixes, its infantry needs to be buffed, it doesnt really need an MG34 tho...

because you can move the T4 building from spot to spot, where you need suppression
this thread is about a non doctrinal, mobile MG to suppress inf, blobs on the front.
And even if you micro your kubel and use it carefully, it dies between the early and mid game anyway.(pathing, focus fire etc.)

People are so fixated on ISG that they completely forgot what AA HT can do.

You don't need Jagdtiger, Sturmtiger or Sturm Officer, right? So you can choose Defensive Doctrine or Luftwaffe and get MG34. Problem solved!
