Ostwind' suppression through bulletin

So the Wehrmacht's Ostwind gains a small amount of suppression through the bulletin called "Massacre". However, how "small"? Like, it's quite good for a suppression gained from a bulletin. Probably around the amount of suppression of the MG34 or the Vickers, maybe? Can someone give me the stats and the comparison with other MGs?

P/s: To be honest, this is easily the most powerful and most useful bulletin amongst all other one... It literally provides extra utility for an unit!‎

From my experience, the Ostwind can suppress an enemy unit outside cover in 2-3 bursts, depending on whether you're moving or not.

Using the bulletin requires a decent amount of effort, as you need to ensure that your Ostwind is facing the enemy squad at all times. The downside here is that you cannot control the target of the MG. Thus, if you're facing a blob the MG might end up changing targets with each burst.

Luckily, if you're facing a blob, it means your Ostwind will get tons of kills.

10/10 would use again.

Combine with hull down for the lulz.

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

It can only suppress a single squad so it not like a HMGs that can suppress multiple.

Suppression applied 0.007, hmg-42 has 0.012 but one has to compare ROF.

It had happened to me in a recent 1v1... Definitely gonna do it again! Like, a literal strategy : Go Festung Armour for Pak 43 + Panzer Tactician + Hull-down the Ostwind at main fighting ground. A 50-range hull-downed Ostwind that can suppress incoming infantries and shred them to pieces. However, still, what is the statistic though? ‎

1. Compare to other bullitens its no fetish but still useless.
2. Back in the day when it was possible to use 3 of bullitens Hulll MG of Ostwind was rellably suppressing infantry similar to current HMG34 with arc of Maxims.

Didn't find it usefullness coz Ostwind weak by itself as unit.

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.
