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.
The irony in this post is incredible. Maxim times were nerfed many patches ago.

Your last point is also incorrect. The Maxim is much, much more capable to respond to a sudden threat than the MG42. Of course, if you mindless try to bash your head in by charging it frontally, of course the MG42 will suppress faster, that is it's strength and why it takes significantly longer to redeploy.

Permanently BannedI feel the need to remind people that there was a time that maxim could sprint and could pack unpack very fast making very difficult to flank especially with units with relatively low mid to close DPS.

"The mg42 will suppress faster cause that's it's strength"
They are MGs!!! Suppression is their only fucking job, you're basically saying that maxim is better at running away. It's setup time is not fast at all anymore. It only packs up faster (as long as it's not getting deathlooped)

False on all counts. It is significantly faster than the MG42.
Second, you can't have a six man, fast deploying MG squad on top of good suppression. If you don't like the Maxim, there's always the Dhsk.

MG42 spam is much worse than Maxim for the following reasons:
- The MG42 is available immediately and requires no teching or building construction whatsoever
- The MG42 has a much wider arch than a Maxim and pins instantly in almost every situation
- The MG42 in fact is considered the best MG in the game when all it's stats and abilities are taken into account
- despite being the best MG in the game it's also among the cheapest (only Maxim is cheaper) and is only 1 of 2 that is available immediately

Of course lets ignore 4 men vs 6 men.
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.
