Can I get grens in t0
Yes. I don't know why such a powerful unit like the MG42 is T0 especially on these small maps were you win the game in 2 minutes just by rushing it into a building

And it's there because it's a cornerstone of Ostheer and kind of critical for them early game, especially part of T1 as well as vs WFAs. If the 42 was put to the building, Ostheer map control is going to plummet vs them if due to their entire queue being held up in T1.

For God's sake can we put this unit in T1 infantry company yet? Good god why is this a T0 unit and it only costs 260 MP?
Hey, Mg42 is really fine. There are so many ways to deal with it.
-mortar smoke (very effective)
-normal mortar fire
-sniper
-light vehicles
-grenades
-flanking
-play ostheer (easy kappa)
-stay in your base and drink tea
-send in the little cute puppy dogs
-hoist the white flag
-steal the MG42 gunner´s munitions before the battle starts
-send the MG42 gunner a package of donuts for christmas so he won´t shoot at you during the summmer
See? You can easily avoid an angry MG42 gunner, just be a little bit more creative and don´t run straight up to him.

It used to be a huge problem for USF: if it got into a building, you needed a Pack Howie or a literal tank to get it out again.
That's why USF got a T0 mortar.

well command group 1 will never counter it, try splitting up your forces
That's because you don't blob enough!!! When in doubt, make it bigger. 60% of the time, it works every time.

It is in T0 because all Alliis are spam fractions. No troll, that is the fact = bad fraction design of Allii, to compensate the f**ked Ostheer.

Swapping Grens with the MG42's tech position wouldn't really change much. T1 only takes a handful (30s?) to build, so it would only delay the MG42 by that much; meanwhile Grens would be hitting the field earlier. If anything, the swap might actually (slightly) buff OST, since they'd be able to defend the MG42 better while it's moving around, making early MG-stealing (or flanking) much harder.
This is really a non-issue.
