How often you see players, who use ZiS-3 as "mini-howitzer"? Thats really rare.
That barrage ability in 95% cases is 60 muni throwed into nothing. Too low accurant, too low damage to structures. I never had a situation, when that ability did something really good.
But I also saw a lot of allies light vechiles, insta-killed by AP flame of MG-42.
im rank 130 1v1 with soviets, i use the barrage several times every game. huh what now?
im rank 300 with ostheer, how often did i use ap rounds of mg42? maybe like 4 times in my 100 ostheer games, why? because noone is stupid enough to stay in its arc combined with the reload animation of 2 seconds. |
You don't understand what im talking about. Ok, MG can be also AT gun, no problems, but... what for!? Wehr has not AT weapons in early game? They have a lot, with best infantry AT - panzerschreck! What for they need AP for MG? It is just too much.
I think not MG-42, but Maxim needs AP flame rounds, because USSR is poor in AT options. No infantry AT guns, no effective AT light vechicles in start (T-70 is T3 which is middle game).
I just can't understand, how they can give 1 more AT option for wehr, which has a lot already, when USSR living almost without AT at all!? Thats obviously unfair!
BUT ZIS GUN BEEING A MINI HOWITZER AT THE SAME TIME IS OK?
|
So, that is not a problem for you, that 1 T0 unit can fight effectivly against both infantry and light vechicles? For me it is too much for only 1 T0 unit.
And again, it wouldn't be a problem, if USSR could have same effective AT. But, USSR doesn't have effective AT against light tanks and vechicles in start. ZiS-3 is too slow and innacurate against light and speedy cars/tanks, grenades just slowing, but not destroy, just like mines...
MG-42 just doing 1-2 bursts and any allies light vechile going down. There is just no reason to use them at all, specially since they cost too much. Lose 70 fuel with T-70 or 60 with AEC/M15 AA platform to 1 HMG and its ability for 30 muni? No, thanks.
So much early AT of axis just making using of light vechiles by allies more dangerous for allies themselvs, than for Axis.
And Axis can spam freely cheap 222 or Luchses. USSR just can't do anything about them. Only PTRS would stop them, but PTRS is only doctrinal... while shcrecks aren't.
But zis gun gets free barrage ability? Thats fine that soviel at gun is a Mini Howitzer at the same time? Really soviets are the easiest to play faction atm with very good result. Hence ive beaten top 15 Player and im not that good (look at the rankings of my other factions..) im sorry but this is a l2p issue and you should see the stengths soviets got rather than Looking what ostheer has, you wont improve that way.. |
Giev bren's Button again vcoh style like someone in another thread suggested |
Why do people keep saying maxims need more micro? I NEVER Set up an maxim and just a-move them ALL game while i need to think ahead when using mg42 due slow Setup time.
Maxims needs less micro than infantry squads because you can Ignore cover, try it really just a move them around the map and dont Set them up, it's a disadvantage if you Set them up.. |
3 con + 1 maxim won't do better vs 3-4 double shreckers either...Flame nades negate any cover.
In any wars, none can ever run in front of any HMGs period. Those are made to be cheap to build and to create interdiction zone to infantry.
That's why indirect fire exist.
HMGs should do less damage but suppress more and have a greater effective sight/range superior to any grenades.
Grenades are for close positions and flanking tactic.
Betting 10€ you would come back and post about mg42 beeing so damn OP with its wide arc, insta Supression and increased sightrange. Be careful what you wish |
Allies surely have the most one shot abilities
idc if allies or axis, its about an shitty game mechanic to lose vetted squads due very cheap abilitys on both sides. recently i lost a full health conscript squad on space due a single okw mine. its just not fun and totally toxic |
I hope some insta wipes mechanics gets removed them if vet is getting valuable again. (If you lose 4 man(full health..) vet 3 squads in lategame due a cheap 30muni mine will be GG) |
l2p maxims are super easy to use and super effective in combat. really l2p im a noob but i get easy rankz with soviets due maxims.
l2p or play compstomp but stop your stupid balance comments which never make any sense
"thanks" |
