I don't really see blobs that much anymore except vs. OKW. Soviets have demos and maxims that actually do shit now, USF has the .50 which can also suppress blobs without fear of rnades from max distance. The MG42 absolutely wrecks anything in front of it, be it infantry, or light vehicles.
OKW needs something more to help vs. blobs. The best thing to do would be to fix the ISG's vet. Currently, it gives you bonuses to the barrage, which is the worst part of the unit. If the vet helped the auto-fire, the ISG would be in a good place as a blob counter.
Agreed; the thing still fires too slowly and it's AoE is abbysmal. Though I would still demand for the mg34 to be core and kubel to be doctrinal for at the least not entirely relying on RNG arty to deal with blobs.
