Pios and HMG42 will become butt buddies now
The synergy of these two will be immense. Downside? You'll have to use them together now.
Use combined arms? But that's exciting and requires micro! Haha in all seriousness though Soviets used to be my favourite faction using Cons and tier 2 but I think OST will now take that place.
Sniper will be good against early USF with the 2x survival buff. Against Soviets I'm thinking a more traditional grens backed by 2 mg42s and a mortar is still the better option. We shall see, I will be uploading replays for anyone interested.
