I mean hes right about one thing... why all the tears against maxims being spammed when as of the moment (and for the past 2 years) mg42 spams are a tad more cancerous than maxims?

PLS define MG-42 spam, how many MG-42 do you consider spam?

I mean it takes real double standards to label maxim spam as a problem when anything a maxim can do an mg42 can do aswell but better

In low level team games, there are ost players trying to fill any building on map with hmg42s. But usually they get mortared or flammed.
Maybe is just axis players tend to ignore the existence of 251 with flammer or leig with smoke.

Just watched helping hans. Het got 3 mg42,s and prost truppen.
He keept the mg 42s relocating. Credit to him. But he kept one on the left and had it alone over there sometimes. The sov player tried multyple times with 2 cons spread out to attack it. The mg42 breathed 2 short puffs of bullets at each squad and got supressed in no time multyple times.
You need 2 maxims to do the same or risk loosing it all together.
Using the mg42 agresivly is so much better then using a maxim in the same way.

In maxim spam day you could easily see 5-6 maxims especially OKW.

Back in those days my standard build was 5-6 maxims a single cons with at nades a mortar 2 su85s and a kv8
Of course the real problem here was that the technique wasnt just viable... it was dominant...
Now the maxim is complete garbage but people still continue to complain about the maxim
But the mg42?? Ohh heavens no..

Only because the Maxim's been nerfed into the dirt.
It used to be a tournament-level strategy.
HMG42 spam is more of the caliber of SimCity: it's not actually that strong once you know how to counter it, but it's such an unpleasant experience that you're left with a sour taste in your mouth afterwards.

That's pretty much how I'd explain it to. It's fair and valid, but fuck is it boring fighting against mgs in every corner.

At this point fighting a maxim spam is more akin to getting free fuel as opposed to a nuisance...

Oh yea for sure. When I said mg in every corner I mean mgs, like Supress units, comtrol movements mgs. Not "flame here" mgs

Yeah, as the previous guys said, Maxim spam actually was viable or even dominant at high level tournament games. It was despised by many, I believe mainly due to 3 reasons:
And due to this Maxim spam became sort of a meme, which I guess it at least part of the reason why a player gets more easily accused of that, rather than MG42 spam.
- Playing against mass MGs (of any sort) is annoying.
- Forgoing the core infantry units for what is supposed to be a supporting unit just feels wrong.
- It really was dominant. Now, any dominant strategy will get its share of hate, but this one felt incredibly cheesy due to points 1. and 2..

You can tell which players in this thread are good and which aren't.
Ignoring that the Maxim can pack up and deploy instantly, thus reacting to flanks much better than the MG42, is definitely the sign of being bad, or just incredibly biased.

It doesn't matter if it actually could reposition quickly (it can't anymore, shows how much you use it) as long as it can't actually do anything while shooting at the enemy. What's more, it moves as quickly as the enemy, so if you do have to reposition (like say there is a volks squad heading directly at your mg, frontally) you won't be able to set up in time to actually start no applying Supression anyways. The nearly time you need to respond to a threat is the same as an mg42, the difference is that if and mg42 does reposition and start shooting the enemy starts eating dirt.

+1
I'd add that part of what was annoying about maxim spam was that you could flank the first maxim, then find your flanking squad being fired on by another maxim, then flank it only to have it get fired on by another maxim. It was the fact that the maxims replaced infantry that made it so annoying. No matter how many flanks, there was always one more maxim. OKW had lots of problems with it.

13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
13 Mar 2025, 19:58 PM
Rosbone: It is clear they crapped out an unfinished game. And are now barely supporting it as they make new smaller games. Coh3 is stillborn. It will be meh for at least another 2-4 years. Meaning they killed the whole franchise instead of growing it.

13 Mar 2025, 19:56 PM
Rosbone: If I did play coh3 and was mainly a skirmish player, I would be pissed and probably stop playing. And it has been like this since release. Why? I would not tell my friends to buy a game I am not even playing. Lost sales and angered users.

13 Mar 2025, 19:50 PM
Rosbone: I was wondering why people think I was raging. I think it was when I said "because coh3 sucks so bad". That was not my opinion. Just a general feel from top players/streamers. I dont play Coh3 and have NO opinion of it.

Rosbone: So it was a systemic failure across multiple disciplines and check points.
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:30 AM
Rosbone: Knowing how companies work, I imagine a new hire making the menus. The API they are using is complicated and things were hard to figure out. But at some point QA or management should have addressed these things. Usually within 6 months of starting.
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
12 Mar 2025, 04:29 AM
Rosbone: @theekvn I dont hate Coh3 or Relic. I just dont understand how you work on Coh3 for like 7 years and the menu system is worse than if a Programming 101 student made it. Feel free to explain it to me.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
07 Mar 2025, 19:14 PM
OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
06 Mar 2025, 16:35 PM
aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
06 Mar 2025, 13:33 PM
Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

OKSpitfire: A powerful, doctrinal unit that outperforms stock stuff? Colour me shocked! 
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
06 Mar 2025, 10:49 AM
Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. 
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
05 Mar 2025, 20:27 PM
Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
