The Maxim HMG needs a hotfix.

But then fanboys raged and asked for more buffs, and as usual relic submitted and vuffed it like the other HMGs which were lackluster.
Now getting 2-6 maxims is not too far fetched and pretty much kills any enthusiasm to play the OKW expansion pack. Some questions and idea. The second cheapest HMG in game is also the best one, winning games on its own without needing any support.

Lets recap some facts, shall we?
-HMGs underperformed, all of them, that included maxims
-you could a-move over every HMG with anything better then CEs/pios
-all HMGs needed buffs, including soviet ones, because of blobs, mainly OKW blobs.
-penals are unusable, so no point getting them
-conscripts are not scaling at all so no point getting them
-everyone is sick and tired of using 2 doctrines only just to have infantry that can fight
Conclusion: maxim overuse is not a result of any overbuff, but the result of alternative options, which should be the backbone of the army, not being valid at all.
And last but not least, the fanboys warrioring for HMG buffs you mentioned were axis in vast majority, using single, unsupported HMG against 3-4 LMG rifles and expecting it to win.

Wehraboo detected?Read the OP. Enjoy abusing the broken stuff?
So in otherwords the maxim is fine, and not only that it also needs support from stronger cons/Penals as well?

No.

maxim is very strong but what makes it really OP is that every player below rank 600 is playing OKW and maxims just wipe the floor with OKW.
ostheer can be really challenging but okw is just a cakewalk with maxims and it requires major fuckups from the soviet side to lose the matchup.
(last 20 games i had 2 ostheers, both were noobs which i got matched against because of lack of player in search)

@gamingbro599: Volks are annoying as well, but that is another topic.

i really don't think maxims are a balance issue at the moment. suppression in general is very strong in coh2 due to a lack of unit variety.#
sorry not wanting to sound rude but with what ingame experience do you justify that statement? looking at your playercard...

Sit's not like their 1v1 win rate have soared to the sky like UKF/USF.
win rate doesnt say a lot about a single unit, overperforming maxims mixed with an underperforming rest could mean a balanced faction. additonally i dont find maxim spam fun to play against, even if it is balanced.
