Wtf did I just witnessed?
You just witnessed worthless post #4613 my friend. |
Why is everyone these days sarcastically posting #esports every time there is a pic or video of bugs, RNG bullshit, etc? I get the impression its mocking Relic for their game not being very competitive? Old news people. They never intended the game to be super competitive, we've known this for a long time now. Is there some false hope this game will be esports or something?
It is just a fad. You can compare it too the MVgame and Kappa crap. You are going to attract some trolls with this question btw lol. You already reeled one of them in. Queen is the name.. Drama is her game.. |
I really only have a bone to pick with the MG34. The MG42 kicks much arse now imo. |
Sandland? Freestyler? Sepha? DevM? Pepsi? Inverse? Lollypop?
I played a game with Lolly just yesterday. He still got dem skillz. |
so far for any mg, if you let them shoot at the crew, you are doing it wrong.
they have immense range but shitty sight. get pios and grens to screen them and deploy them behind your own lines. they should be firing before the blob spots them and have ur supporting units focus on squads that manages to slip away.
the mg42 is a great machine gun but its a force multiplier, not a combat on its own. i've seen great use of it supporting infantry fights, i've seen people spamming them and failing so hard while constantly getting flanked.
also, it does its job firing on blob and suppressing them. better players will have a form a route of advance on it, coming from different angles vcoh style. in that case, dont rely on the mg to stop the whole force.
You are pretty much stating what everyone has already agreed upon. Now the suppressing the blob part is where we dont agree. |
Only if they're in cover. I have never seen a blob moving around into the open not get suppressed in two bursts, and having spotters will easily allow them to fire off those two bursts before a blob can get in range. And if they quickly break off to flank the HMG34s, good for them, they actually deserve the fight because they aren't blobbing anymore and are now microing. And I'd still greatly prefer microing HMG34s in an attack over HMG42s because of how they're cheaper means having them doesn't mean my sight-lines and frontline forces are going to be scant.
Oh word of advice - don't build flak emplacements, they're awful and get decrewed from grenades. I'd take another HMG34 over it any day.
I would have to show a replay of 3-4 bursts not even suppressing a single unit to prove you wrong, but take my word on it considering how many OKW games I have played lol. I don't think I have actually ever built a flak emplacement. That is pretty common knowledge that they are worthless. I am talking about an MG emplacement. I am pretty sure you knew that though.
If they are given an increase in suppression, I would gladly pay more MP for them. It's not like OKW have a MP shortage lol. They are also call-ins, so it isn't like I need resources for a building either. |
And they can, in two bursts, just like a vet 0 HMG42 at max range. And unlike a Maxim, its AoE suppression is still good so it can handle blobs as long as it shoots at them before the blob hits them. So you keep it behind your other units just like an HMG42 and it will do fine, which should be far easier as OKW than Ostheer because you'll actually have manpower for multiple HMG34s/more frontliners.
More like 3 bursts, if you are lucky.. This leaves time for the blob to break off into the flanks and over run it. I usually have to backup 2 front line MG34s with an emplacement to hold ground. That gives them a line of defense to fall back to when the smoke starts flying. This gives my supporting units time to react. All of this makes my stance pretty much defensive in nature. Forget about taking an MG34 or even a pair of them on a raid to a tactical cutoff. They will get ripped to shreds and will be unable to retreat without being taken.
Essentially all I was asking for was a small buff to suppression. I don't expect the MG to be a battle winner like in vCoH lol. I tend not to use it much anymore. I consider the OKW to be the Panzer Elite of CoH 2. No MG for you! Come back 1 year! |
HMG42s can't hold off units already shooting at it, why would a 30MP cheaper HMG do so?
Who said anything about holding off units? I am talking about suppressing them so that supporting units can handle the killing. |
Thanks for amusing im a blobber
since ur a team game axis hero, it makes sense that u want ur comp stomps to be eaier
No need to start trolling Queen. I know the truth hurts sometimes. Now everyone is welcome to their own opinion. I do indeed love me some team game raping. And we all know you love your USA lmg blob. Now give us a kiss.

No
It cost 210 mp and suppresses
Nothing else more u need
Yes
It could use a small buff. Especially to its suppression ability. It needs to be used in pairs because it fairs so poorly against charging units. USA blobbers like yourself have a field day against it. Hence your opinion on it being fine. |
