Is the Tactical Support M5 quad any better?

I'm about to get the commander, that's why I'm asking.

It's exactly the same, as far as I know.

Have you tired the OKW flak on the move?

Oh wait

That does make sense sadly, damn.




Of course I'm not getting it for the M5, I'm getting it for the Calliope.

hector ofcourse its great stand still and used for suppressing everyone knows that. but being so close to a unit while moving should be able to do some damage. for example reversing while engine damaged. and troops are so close they are touching u... even tho ur quad is shooting it wont hurt them nearly no damage at all.... which it should not be that wat. think about luch or 222... allies troop cant close in cuz they will get raped being close even while the light vehicle is moving. u shouldnt be able to be 1 feet away from it and be safe is wat im trying to say. while moving and shooting from far is a different story but up close troops should take a decent amount of damage.. if ur going to argue about how its fine, first go try it then get back to me and tell me its fine

• Hit a mine
  
• Got out flanked near a sight blocker and became snared

it was an example of if shadow.. nothing u said justifies the quad having no dmg on the move. the m1 has better on the move dmg by a ton and thats crazy to think. i suggest that the half burst duration that was implemented return to normal but keep the accuracy debuff. and thats hardly going to help. can someone show a clip of how strong the quad is up close while moving?

The point of MGs isn't to do damage, it's to suppress and pin and force retreats so you can win engagements and take more territory.

Unless it's a Vikers in a building, in which case it can shoot you from space, suppress you in one burst and kill a model on every burst.

Vikers in buildings makes serious sad faces on oponents

Right now you are judging fish by it´s ability to climb a tree.
Quad is not close range bursting vehicle anymore. It´s support vehicle. Use it at long range, not moving and you will see how nicely will it supress the enemy squads.

The quad's accuracy on the move was reduced to prevent it picking off squads constantly. You can also get this unit as Americans with certain cmdrs, a very potent thing for a faction which usually doesn't have lots of suppression power.

If you get it for suppression you will be very impressed. Keep it well back, it just needs to nick the squads you want to crawl on the ground.
