Yes.
Because defensive doctrine is meta and I clearly meant lend lease by non meta

Uhm, you wrote "2 non meta doctrines, one is terrible." So yeah...w/e dude, w/e...

Lol Dushkas over performing, sure man. even if they were any good an hmg at cp2 has no role, maxims are useful if they rush in to buildings or come early enough to stop the enemy, late hmgs are not worth it.

What if we try to fix the soviets? the most "balanced" army its also the worst performing and the one that has more useless doctrines and units...

Are you dumb guys? Seems, you aren't playing 1v1 and didn't see this unit in action. Insta pin like old hmg's did, not even time for react. It wouldn't be op if dshk was in defend doctrine but not in Land Lease which is the part of meta (Hans is top player who use it 0.9 of time.)

Only thing I would do would be to tone down its suppression. It's strong enough to pin units after the first burst and makes heavy cover not ideal against it as it's high enough to force the unit to ground.

Because of its high cost, limited cone of fire, and late arrival (2cp) the suppression is acceptable.

DSHK is a hard counter to infantry, with some lite AT possible. If you see it you have two options as OKW: 1) Use ISG to pick it off at distance or 2) use stuka to wipe it.

It is also still very vulnerable to getting killed on retreat. Try using Falls out of buildings nearby to steal one. Once you have it you will find your Volks nearly unstoppable.

Does not need a change, respectable MG that does good work especially on Axis blobs.

Dushka is fine, especially if you take into account it suffers from the same death loop that gets the maxim killed most of the time.

If it came in a commander with shocks or guards I'd be worried but since its only lend lease(only brave heroes go defensive doctrine). There's not a whole reason to care since that commander doesn't have much utility outside of the M4C Sherman.

How is is over performing compared to the cheaper, earlier, 180-degree cone, insta suppression, Jesus-bullet shooting MG42?

Which is also comes standard in every grenadier's trousers.

1. Suppression radius is way smaller than normal mgs. can be flanked
2. Retreat bug is a huge downfall for it when retreating.
3. Comes out at 2 cp
4. most expensive MG in game

All of these made sense before maxim and guard nerfs. Why would you lock yourself in DShK doctrine when you can just roll out maxims and use your doctrine pick for guards and some real late game tanks, not m4c.

No it doesnt make sense. Dshk and Penals (without flamers) were a non-issue before the recent balance patches. Suddenly they are OP monsters that need to be nerfed. It makes no sense.

They were op all along, it is just that the meta heroes had not yet discovered their utility.

Maybe it's not DShK OP but every other unit UP? Nah, what a bullpudding, keep nerfing soviets.

I think some people just like to have a 'witch hunt'.
