It's always funny that the people who complained about pre-nerf LMG Obers seem to be perfectly fine with 1919 rifles/para's who are are just about equal in performance or better than Obers due to this specific ability.
Yes LMG spam sucks hard to play against, but defensive stance is incredibly abusive considering the bonus's it gives for zero trade offs.
EDIT: like nobody is asking for them to be removed or heavily nerfed, people just want the defensive stance to not be able to be toggled in combat or it to not give such good bonus's for such little effort.
You're living in a dream world if you think rifle/para m1919s are "just about equal" in performance to pre-nerf LMG obers.
The m1919 is fine, its not drastically different to grenadier lmg.
I agree defensive stance is a bit silly though. Kinda destroys positional play, you just move into range and throw the stance and force munitions use to budge you.
