AA gun that can't shoot down planes, bofors up.
And yes, it is balanced.
Its just going to be standing there.
You will be hit by it exclusively if you specifically choose to once you know where it is.

I don't think I'd wish the stats of the maxim on the worst of my enemies.

Are you saying that maxim has a higher suppression build up stat than Vickers?
Sir, you go too far.

Looking at the stats in Cruzz's calculator Vickers has higher rate of fire and a higher suppression rate.
My own experience is that you don't have a maxim and an mg42 face off in an old timey duel, but rather they are supposed to suppress mobile infantry..
... in which case, I'll gladly take the vickers over the maxim, even with only 4 members, any day.
Though I'm definitely going off topic now.

I would definitely not put Vickers over MG42, but this is all beside the point so I'll drop it.

Also fun fact:
Vickers has lower DPS then HMG42.
Why does it kill so much?
Because its suppression is so shit, suppressed squads take lower damage from small arms for some time.
So your perception of it being too strong, ironically, comes out of it being too weak in the one single role HMG should be doing.

That information is incorrect according to Cruzz the Vicker has more dps than hmg-42 at almost all ranges.

And that range is only 1
For what it matters, the damage is similar besides 0-10 range, which almost no infantry squad manages to get into range.
Random thought. Would Ostwind with MG suppression be broken ? Talking about 1/2 bulletins level of suppression.

One can simply make it a timed ability costing MU or a barrage similar to bofors.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

If HMG42 is at vet1, which comes incredibly fast, then that information is correct as HMG42 with inc rounds will have most DPS of all HMGs by a long shot(don't even attempt to contest this argument, you have used the exact same one in the other discussion just now).
