So?
A lone unsupported HMG got owned by 4 cons with vet and upgrade
It took em 40 sec to take it down.
Whats OP?
This HMG could have been taken down in less than 40 seconds and even without any upgrade if those Cons were properly micro'd.
Instead of splitting this blob up so that the MG42 cannot suppress all of them at once the Soviet player simply did NOTHING.
Even an unsupported MG42 in green cover should be able to force such a blob away if the other player is too lazy to do something.
Running up to an HMG, getting all squads suppressed, do nothing until the HMG gets destroyed.
Great design!
