Just to clarify its not about using it right here. I am well aware when my HMGs were out of position. I don't have problems with that. I'm not asking for MG42 to become this uber infantry counter once was.
It's just I noticed recently how effective Maxim is in comparison. Soviets don't need HMG soo strong while OH do. I always thought MG42 should be the best HMG in the game and that's not the case.
Maxim in a building is a different story. If it wasn't for M5 we would have seen more Maxim spam.
Nothing wrong with the mg42 or the maxim. the mg42 is still the better force multiplier. the only problem with the maxim is that the okw has no real way of dealing with (especially in buildings) them right now while the ost do.
