Ib4 "but teh deathloop," deathloop is only an issue when the maxim is facing alot of DPS, which isnt an issue when there are 4 other maxims.
Or literally any area of effect weapon..... You know, such as their dedicated counters (mortars)....
False on all counts. It is significantly faster than the MG42.
This is 100% a lie. Their setup times are exactly the same. Only the pack up time is faster, you are completely wrong. Ironic as hell for you to be accusing anyone of bias in this thread. You are either misinformed or a complete liar
