MG performance test

It's good that you make efforts and did test, it give more power to your judgements. But maybe to prove that topicstarter is wrong, should repeat his test and find possible mistakes (if you have doubts in his results)? And show your results with digits?

well testing squad at more than 13 meter is useless for all mg apart from maxim, that has 15 radius

i used 3 squad all 10 meter from each other to show that yes they do suppress in an area, all mg do

i don't know how much distance he put between squads so i can't copy his test

and tested vicker it suppresses just fine

same as mg 42

did u really test in the same situations ?

vicker >

mg 42 >

same for dskh even tho it has lower AOE radius

even more test all equal distance form each infantry squad of 10

OP did u really do the test fairly ?

mg 34



vicker





cal 50






u can see they all suppress nearby squad thanks to the suppression indicator

all have equal distance of 10 from each squad

on my test u can literally see the suppression value going up , maybe cheat mod 1 is bugged ?

Possibly, however, regardless of what happened in my or your test, in my personal opinion, only for the Vickers, it is inferior compared to Mg42, which it should be considering Brits has better mainline infantries.
Also, I have posted my hypothesis about what happened to the changing gunner stuff. Please read it under the vickers and mg42 picture post.

well yes the vicker is slower in AOE suppression, but single squad thanks to the recent buff it suppresses at the same time as an mg 42

which is pretended in my test under the suppression test. Vickers should leave as what it is with probably a few very minor changes in the future if the German mainline infantries receive any buff.

I ma under the impression that the gunner has lower priority over other members so he is not being shot at if they are other members of the crew in range.[/quote believe that is so as well. It was an early run at reducing the death loop frequency. Great change imo

IRC it was made long time ago, to prevent situation where gunners will be killed one by one. Especially by snipers. I remember that old snipers always shoots to gunner, that if you have enough micro you could use time while new gunner go to weapon, to push and kill MG.

To be fair that sounds like a completely valid and fair tactic...
