I've been playing around with the maxim in the tuning pack.
I have to say, it doesn't seem much better (if at all), than the pre patch one. If you have two together, it does suppress a blob though (although still worse than any other singular MG).
What are your thoughts on it?
Has the incremental accuracy bug been fixed in the tuning pack?
It's really annoying how little counter play there is for OKW vs Soviet sandbags. Maybe the cheaper ISG will help.
Agreed. I think it's high time cons had a real role late game.
If something like that happened, I would not be opposed to reducing the health of the cons sandbag. Doesn't it take longer to build than a Volks bag though?
One way to control that with OKW would be to give them 100% fuel/muni income but adjust the prices upwards by the same amount. That means no effect on costs or timing but now they don't benefit as dramatically from fuel bonus activities (and this would have literally 0 effect on 1v1 balance).
That's a rather elegant and simple solution. It would add a tiny amount of balance in team games overall, but a tiny amount is still an amount, and better than nothing.
