HMGs are supposed to help weaker factions to hold out the early game aggression from blobby, vile WFA factions.


Maxim was one of such units which played an important role keeping the SU remotely competitive and enjoyable. Though a bit cheap and having had a fast setup time made spamming them very cost effective, building one or even 2 wasn't enough to hold the OKW away from your cutoff. That was why people built more than 2.


Volkgrenadiers flame nade is an exploitative feature, causing unpleasant and abusive experience for average players. HMGs are supposed to put blobs in check, not the other way around. And we ain't even talking about blobs, 2 volks can charge frontally and burn the sinner in their hell.


My suggestion is increasing the range penalty for pinned units up to -%60.

Hopefully this upcoming change will help this situation: 'All grenade abilities that are not snares have their range reduced by 33% when the unit is suppressed'.

It will be an improvement certainly, but I think %33 is not enough.

I'm pretty sure it'll be fine after the suppression change.

I still hate the flame nades in general but yeah the suppression tweak with grenade range should help a lot.

Trust me it helps a lot, try the mod and it reduces range significantly.

It's just a flame nade though, it doesn't vaporize squads like the nuclear pineapple or anything. Just move way and you take maybe, 20-40% damage?

Just move away from it and you will be fine.
A little more micro won't hurt and it's Maxim we are talking about, it has the best set up/pick up speed of all MGs.

remove false alarms rights to make threads, how can anyone with a brain not realize that this is a kid with a serious problem. Someone who was literally counting down the seconds till his ban was lifted, then instantly created 2 threads and hasn't left the shout box.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we get balance patches that cater to the worst players. Do your duty, and cut these baddies off at the source - before we end up with 5 identical factions.

Imo anti garrison weapon like flame grenades and molotovs should not be so commonly available. They should be limited to specialized units.

Molotovs could go to Penals, Flame grenades to SP and JLIR.

Omg, after this friggin mod preview came out there is a thread calling for a nerf of every single OKW unit and ability. Suddenly everything is beyond OP.

OKW Flame grenades should be like molotovs, very long throw animations. Because it has no timer like the explosive grenades. Or bring molotovs in line with the OKW flame nade.

Yes but the maxis has this stupid deathloop mechanic. Sometimes you cant even move because the gunner dies and then the next guy and then the next guy.....
