The difference being that OST do not have basic inf T0 on their roster unlike SOVS.

just make tier 1 though?
you are not sideteching for your mainline, you set up the production right away and have MG-42/a gren squad without lagging behind the enemy in unit count

I did but still have this problem
I just play game and i put vickers in trench and it not shoot MG42 that was shooting at it
I think vickers should outrange when in trench even but nope.
game is so fake andbullshit
i think internet makes differences in game play. garbsge game.

the vickers doesnt have increased fire range when in trenches

regardless, i know how you can mitigate the problem you have:

position your MG with the right click command, you get to see the fire cone. MGs tend to take a few moments to actually fire (this is especially devastating to allied MGs because they fire rubber bullets), so you manually target enemy units in the firing cone to hit them

you can "track" your infantry's range by hovering over enemy units with your own. Red aiming reticle means that they can shoot at them, while an icon of a soldier walking besides the reticle means that the squad in question is out of range. Sometimes squads dont fire at squads that are technically in their range, manually make them fire and just put them back in cover if they move. Another thing that you probably see (and complain about) is squads being in firing range, but not actually firing, instead walking closer. If that happens, just press the stop command and your squad will stop and actually start shooting while still.

if your infantry squad is being fired upon by enemy rifles, but out of range themselves, just change your squad position to another place, it shouldnt happen twice

duality of man

but fair enough

the tradeoffs: you can put it in a bush, your enemies will waste popcap if they capture it, it reveals tanks if it penetrates them every Christmas or so

Through this post shines a sheer incompetence of understanding basic gameplay mechanics.

OST starts with MG42 and Pio which is the most passive and weak starting since many forward elements can absolutely wreck a dismounted MG team or flank it. As such pios have 42 sight to keep MG42 safe and posted.

It would be wise to play the game once in a while.

mods will look at this man's posts and go "hmm...no, these obvious bait posts are NOT bait, haha"
