You forget it has superior damage too. What it's troubles are, are the same for MG42. It has very slow traverse speed. If this was fixed and its damage modified, it would be far better. Same for MG42.
Soooo superior

Stop nitpicking like a small child. It has superior damage, because it does more damage for 40 seconds. Considerable more damage in the first 5-10 seconds. But good to read that you don't disagree with the traverse speeds. Good day.

It does superior damage because it suppresses less quickly.. Close, but it actually suppresses less quickly because it does more damage not the other way around. Because it's more apt to burst a model it's more likley to have to spend time reaiming and not shooting.
I thought this was common knowledge.

But as said above and in every maxim thread ever. You don't buy an mg to kill you buy it to control infantry via Supression.

As far as I know, it is the other way around. Compared to the HMG 42 (same DPS), the Vickers can snipe a model because it will deal more effective DPS in the first seconds of firing because the suppression (which gives damage reduction on the suppressed squad) kicks in later, because the Vickers has worse suppression. The HMG 42 will suppress almost instantly, which also almost instantly reduces its effective DPS against the squad it's shooting at.

Lets put it up a notch. Are ANY blobs justified? I personally think 5% is such insubsequent buff that won't even be recognizable at grand scale.

Tell me more about how you keep your squads suppressed, then pinned, then killed for 40 seconds while you do absolutely nothing about it, while pretending there isn't damage reduction on suppressed units for some time.
Or how you flank an MG only to walk up to its arc point blank and just stay there.
At biggest range where the damage difference matters, over 10 seconds you might actually deal 20-30 more damage! So overpowering!

Hey I have an idea. Maybe we could make infantry sections a 2 man sqaud and raise their Pop count to 10 since we all love nerfing Brits into the ground through the mantle and core of the Earth to China.

the maxim suppress around 1 second slower than the mg 42 at max , i did some test on it u can find them in my post history https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ImperfectRemorsefulArkshell-mobile.mp4
I'm pretty sure this is the case. The Maxim doesn't suppress well but usually kills more models, especially when compared to the MG34. I'd rather the Maxim be more like the MG34.
