His point still holds though:
Brens each give a 5 DPS increase while LMG42s give a 7 DPS increase....
Not sure what the point here. That Brens are balanced and Lmg42 are not?
Lmg42 are an upgrade for grenadier, Brens and M1919A6 are available for more infantry squads. If one makes the same calculations for Ro.E and R.E. both weapon will be far more efficient than Lmg42.
An analysis of comparing Bren M1919A6 and Lmg42 by comparing Tommie's, Rifleman's and Grenadier increment in DPS for coming to the conclusion that Lmg42 is OP, is simply flawed...
Most of this is also off topic, since the thread is not about balancing Lmg vs one another, but about Lmg blobs.
