2. the only way you can quickly destroy an mg42 gun is if you have like 8 or so cons shooting at the gun. this means that pretty much the soviets entire army is in one sector of the map, go out and get some map control.

Sorry, but unfortunately we already tested this and this is not happening. It lead to mg-42 spam being unbeatable and shutting down every soviet strat except snipers which overall lead to very dumb gameplay.

Well. 210MP vs 1200MP + 250MU.

So by comparison, we'll need to be bringing approximately 1200 FU worth of T34.

Yeah, that'll probably kill an elephant to the face. Especially if we make it a proper analogy by adding veterancy to the tanks as some of the blob was packing, and then maybe some MU upgrades to the- oh wait CoH2 tanks.



Stop treating HMG's as one man armies. They are support weapons, they offer suppression to hamper armies, not outright stop them.

If you want a HMG that can act in the way people seem to dream of then start petitioning relic to introduce an 800MP HMG squad that set up with about three of them and carry their own sandbags around the battlefield.

A single HMG is not a blob hard counter, it is a support weapon. It suppresses blobs. Even a single gren/volks squad in tow could have naded the centre, caused horrendous MP bleed and both could have retreated fine to the base to enjoy a battlefield advantage to the tune of 100-200MP.

Better yet, it could have fallen back and set up in the next cover with infantry to spot and soak the first volley whilst reinforcements arrived and a flanking manoeuvre was put in place. All viable options to make the most of suppression mechanics without wishing they worked differently and pretending your disillusion represents a balance problem.

Instead, it stood still like a moron and got sniped out. GG for horrible play.
