Just in case people don't understand the maxim change. Suppression against single squads is unchanged. What they are trying to accomplish is that a blob charging shoulder to shoulder should be easier to suppress.
Single squad or slightly spread blob won't care at all.
The main issue with the deathloop is when the model pushing the maxim is continually getting sniped most often due to small arms. When you say you can trigger the deathloop intentionally i assumed you meant you could somehow force your squads to target the correct model every time through some micro trick.
Any fool can throw a huge blob at an mg and wipe it before it can get out of range.
I do not think the 6 man weapon team is there to compensate for the deathloop otherwise why do soviet at guns and mortars also have 6 men? This is more of a Soviet themed thing.
My suggestion would be something along the lines of giving the maxim gunner a universal cover on retreat sort of like how at guns provide directional green cover to the crew.
Attack move and long range DPS. While i thikn the operator model tends to have a lower priority, an attack move makes the squad engage the first model they see, which in most of the cases is gonna be the guys behind the weapon. The rest is history.
Cover for support weapons don't help and neither they work. See the other thread.
