Axis blob (3+) destroy Maxim from front.

I'm tired of that maxim op diatribe !

Axis blob (3+) destroy Maxim (with suppression bulletin) from front easily, and if needed will throw a flame or rifle grenade "even suppressed" to destroy it .

If they spread a bit they can kill a quad halftrack in 2 sec.

Only fear propaganda or flamer tank seem to work, but they come late...

But the worst are shreck blobs who kill Maxims, snipers or any infantry model from the front using their AT-weapons.

These are the worst aspects of COH2, the rest are not perfect but are at least fun and a bit more realistic.

With those, equally skilled axis players will always have a edge versus their allies counterpart.

I hope that when they finally fixe the vet but, they will have look at the above. (5 stars shrecks blobs...= gg)

Maybe, if those above are fixed, the brit's sim city or bofors spam will lose it's relevance.(spamming bofors are not really fun...).


Thanks.

If there are three units attacking, you should have another 2 units supporting the maxim. As has been said many times about the MG42 - you need to support your support weapons. Keep them at range.

Also, your quad halftrack shouldn't be in range of shreks. it's like me saying my Luchs got taken out just by four zookas. If you kite, you have a good chance of surviving and pinning them.

Thanks.

They just kill the Maxim and retreat to a forward retreat truck and come back in no time.

Yes they can be stopped, but the effort to do so is greater the effort of blobbing them.

Those blobs are also very mobile and can assault quickly any part of the battlefield. The larger the map the hardest it become to stop them.(Add just a recon plan and they will know where to attack.)

In the starting phase is you don't build some Hmgs, Axis will bully you (especially OKW). But by building HMGs, you are becoming static and vulnerable to indirect fire...and so on.

I think the maxim is fine, but you did mention fixing schreck sniping which I think is sorely needed for all infantry based AT.

Ehhh it sounds like you aren't using Maxims correctly. You lose out if you are playing static with them trying to use them as blob control like a MG42. Maxims are best used A-Moving around supporting Infantry. Either way, 3 Infantry should beat a single Maxim we don't want super Maxims insta-pinning multiple squads..

Maxim death-loop and flame grenades ARE a problem though.
