is it Maxims that are Broken? or is it that everything tier 0-1 for Soviets lacks scaling and sucks?
Of course it can, have you ever used an M20?
And whos says the AEC is supposed to be a squad wiper anyways? It already counters every light vehicle short of a puma, and is going to cheaper to boot. Nothing has changed in terms of its anti vehicle potency. It is anti everything in the live build.
They need it like that cause there is nothing else that forms an effective aggressive force to push the enemy in the mid-game. I mean, if its MP price drops to 200-230 mp, then fair enough...least can get a pair of them. Universal Carrier and Infantry Sections are still looking poor offensively.
If the Bofors was viable, least then that would offer some choice. But so far, looks like its back to waiting for Cromwells.
What we need is viable, efficient handheld AT for Infantry Sections. A vehicle snare on Infantry Sections (or back on the Sniper), and a buff to the Bofors.
