Just keep in mind that luvnest is a top 10 player, and I am top 50. There is a huge difference between the two. I was frustrated that I beat his a$$ from the start to the end and failed to close the deal. The issue is that I don't have a PRO endgame or PRO micro skills. My opening however is OP.

Just keep in mind that like all of us top ten players are humans and do not always play 100% correctly. It happens in SCII all the time. Your "OP" opening was only OP because luvnest did not get more counters. Of the units he got to counter your maxims they all did a great amount of damage. An earlier scout car would have put you hugely behind as it would just pick off outer maxims just like in the replay. a second sniper would of forced maxims to retreat when they got shot at because by the time they pick it up and run they'll be down to two men.

There are a few other ways this game could have played out:
luvnest chose the mortar half track, a large fuel investment. He could of just gotten a mortar and saved the fuel to pump out a P4 which would have set you behind to the stone ages as you had no conscripts to stop it from just driving about killing you only Zis and murdering the maxims.

Another way this could of gone down is a second scout car, the two of them upgunned would have slaughtered Maxims while the sniper picked off the last man

See there are many ways this could of gone down that would of driven off the maxim spam

Just want some pointers, It has been awhile since I have gotten my ass kicked this hard

Once again you use a very fragile unit send them to the front and if make even one tiny error you can kiss 360 mp manpower goodbye. Grenadiers should be able to counter the maxim in tier 1 with the help of support units. just as conscripts can counter the mg42.

When they altered and then nerfed the g43 i saw this problem coming from a mile away. standard grendiers cannot counter the maxim in this form.

OH NO! if I fuck up and make a mistake and loose something it cost manpower? Gasp!

you have to make terrible blunders to loose German Sniper vs weapons teams...........

it doesn't suppress enough and is just a massive liability. i hardly use mg42 these days and still win most of the games.

I hardly use tiger and I still win. That kind of argument is not very good... mg42 is perfectly fine and is only a liability if you use it in risky situations. Just because it does not win games for you does not make it bad, its personal opinion. I use 1-2 of them every game supported and they do great amounts of work. Their vet one ability is one of the best in the game, the mg42 goes from a wide arc suppression tool to a murder machine.

That's only if you're always losing all the non-vital members, however. The numbers gives far more leeway in taking losses unless the guy with the cart keeps getting shot.

My main problem with the Maxim(in the open/yellow cover) is its ability to stroll up to deployed 42s, get suppressed, supress the 42 while suppressed if it's not in green cover and then it becomes a slap fight between the two. It's even worse when the gunner decides its a good time to reload. I think it was enough to cause a maxim to become unsupressed and win the engagement, but that was a while ago.

Also I envy the fact the Maxim are decent in buildings whereas putting the MG42 in there is usually pointless since it takes forever to swap windows and fire.

mg42s are still good in buildings but they need to be supported and not in structures that are at the center of fire fights because they will have to turn the gun all the time.

I have never had a problem of a maxim running up to my mg42s and winning, they get suppressed and have a large accuracy modifier that allows the mg42 to pin them with no problem.
