Are bren blob buffs justified?

Well for what it's worth I'd make the MG42 320 MP and in T1. Strumpioneers would also be T1 like Royal Engineers.

Vet 0, 5 models Volks, open ground.

After test on suppression mechanics i believe that the problem starts to arise once units gets increased RA and the map is cluttered with yellow cover. Some MGs are still able to perform as MGs and other simple get overwhelmed by firepower + lightcover + RA vet and just 2 squads "blobbing" frontally.

TBH i consider the mechanic FUBAR. It's my personal conspiracy theory, but by making units have armor instead of RA, made the whole mechanic work from start of the game to the end of it.

You know, it may be a fix to make MGs ignore yellow cover. Is that possible? I doubt hiding behind a bush or in a small crater would make you feel much less suppressed than being in the open. I believe the maxim and vickers both rely heavily on accuracy to apply their suppression IIRC.

The title says "Are bren blob buffs justified?"


If vickers loose the +20% acc but get instead +30% suppression it could mimic the OST early game design, well placed troops, team weapons to secure and mobilize

OST will be an inferior UKF if something like that happens. The only thing that prevents OST from completely facerolling other factions is grenadier being inferior to other mainlines but in your suggestion you forgot Infantry sections in the equation.
