The problem however is that the maxim needs to preform as a blob counter AND be unique....
What about only dealing supression from green cover?
What the actual fuck is this?
Suppressing only from green cover, are you out of your mind?
Do you have any idea who the person you're responding to is? And his skill level?
I do not know what his skill level is, I would judge that myself once I know.
I would also like to say that whoever says that Maxim guns are OP is incorrect.
.....
Even if this would be the only way to play soviet (i am not sure on that one) it's no reason to keep it OP.
Actually, there is exist no reason to keep anything OP, but thats for another time.
I didn't say it's the only way to, I say it's an important way to open the game with soviets, at least the only other way besides conscripts since Penals are fucking useless.
What buff did it get? I wasn't aware of it.
I'm sorry but all I say is taht the maxims are performing just how they should.
It sounds like you guys want to destroy everything that's good for soviets, just because something "performs good" doesn't mean it's OP, it means it's good.
When we say that the OKW Panzer II is spawned too fast or is too solid for what it is, everybody argues that it's not and you need to micro well in order to not get that shit to kill you fast.
But then maxims are a problem.
I spam maxims too, and it's really risky strategy, if you lose one maxim or retreat one when you start, then you lost.
There are many counters to it too, as just getting flanked by sturms makes you lose them fast, or else mortars and also the fact that maxims don't help you getting units that shelter in house.
I didn't say that somebody who doesn't get out of sight in time suck, I said that someone who complains about this unit acting like a regular assault unit probably suck, and it's right.
The set up time is nothing fast, cut out the bullshit, if the strategy works it doesn't mean it's op.
Again, what is good, is good, OP is stuff like the sdkfz flamer, or crocodile before it got nerfed, the suppressive ISG or kubels.
Thats what was fucking op, stuff that you could hardly escape from or didn't leave you a single chance.
Now how does maxim compares?
If you need to nerf maxims, then at least make Guards and 120mm 1CP again, because so far they come in way too late.
