Flank MG-> Get ready to wipe it-> Realize there is another MG covering the one you flanked -> Notice that there is also sniper who snipes your rifles :foreveralone"
Von, can you upload your 7MGs strat?
It's not about how hard is to smoke. It's about how much micro and resources it requires to counter just MG, while OST can simply throw rifle nade vs 50cal.
Placing MG does not require any skills, but dealing with it with Rifles requires at least some skills, yet you cannot be sure you will flank it, since there may be another MG behind.
It's all about mortar for USF and OKW.
By the way, best HMG, best mortar, best sniper, best at gun,... What's next?
Not trying to be a dick, but you could have doctrinally and non-doctrinally scouted the area before trying to close on that MG to wipe it. Might have avoided that whole "pinned by another MG covering the first" mess that you got yourself into.
