Maxim Overperforming

Just because he wasnt able to take a position for 10min doesnt mean that the maxim is good... youre ignoring other factors that may be at play here

In any case if you think the maxim is fine then i propose we nerf the mg42 to maxim standards... do you think that is a fair proposition?

Sturmpanthers enemies only spam maxims...they had all in all no micro..but this was enough to shut down the OKW faction completely on lane maps. even as a good player.

Yes a good maxim player will deny resources to prevent a fast luch or 222 counter. And finish the game with their own fast t34. Perhaps those calling others to l2p, should try make use of maxim this way. Instead of crying no suppression or crying rifle nades kill them deathloop 101.

Or watch helpinghans and devm tag team the maxim.
The way some of you put it as if maxim cant suppress one bit. When others point out mg42 weak reposition times suspect to allies stronger infantry flanks, it is l2p.

How about those maximers l2p to make use of maxim fast reposition, high damages and higher model survival. Watch helpinghans play soviet maxim

Exactly, some players completely forget the massive strengths the maxim has with super fast set up times , a larger arc than originally intended, an insane 6 man team weapon squad, a higher sustained fire rate, higher damage and now increased suppression which is totally unnecessary and does nothing but promote maxim spam again.

Excuse but how is Maxim overperforming?

Is this a joke because from what I have experienced using this unit, it is certainly not overwhelming.

Underwhelming, possibly but definitely not overperforming.


Easy fix.

Make it 4 man, increase suppression.

Really is useless to continue to find a fix around it rather than going with this simplistic concept.

It would be a better MG and Conscripts be more viable support since "merging" would be even more useful and stronger for a stronger performing MG.

If conscripts and maxim reinforce cost is not the same, make it so.

It has been said many times, u can't make maxim 4-man due to the deathloop already making it essentially 4-man

The only reason why is because it does not suppress well enough. Making a 4 man with an increase in supression would be balanced.

Deadthloop would no longer cease to exist.

It would be similar to USF 50cal MG. That does not have a deathloop at all and that is fine for a 4 man suppressing well.

Would definitely be fine for Maxim too to be 4 man.

Btw, all models for MG have the same received accuracy!
