From my experience I can say, that soviet models dying faster, than axis. I don't know why, maybe its a bad luck, but still. In soviet 6 man crews people dying faster than in all other faction's 4 man crews. Maybe they have bigger recived accuracy, or lesser HP... I don't really know, but thats what I often see.
And I play in CoH 2 since it started and played a lot in vCoH. So, I know about those games enough to judge, ok?
If you are so experienced, why are you posting blatantly incorrect 'facts'
4 man squads are not so vunerable, if they are not bunching close to each other. And they rarely bunching so, but 6 man squads are big, so models usually staying close to each other.
Again more falsehoods, the size of a squad has no bearing on how close the units stand together.
And of course Maxim is worst MG in game. Small arc of fire, small AoE supresison, slow turning speed, since it is on wheels, not on "foots"... Only in spam Maxims can fight effectively, but its just another sign, that Maxim is broken. If you need to spam unit for to make it work - it is bad sign, really. Specially, when same type of enemy units works well without spam at all (MG-42, for example).
First Do you even know what mgs exist in this game? Second just because it is different than Mg42, doesn't mean its bad. Thirdly its turning speed is fastest in the game. Forth, if a unit is really good spammed, but mediocre by itself, its still a good unit. Fifth, since its on wheels it is only decreased when all 6 models die. Sixthly it has the most DPS out of the other MGs, so you 'neglected' to mention that one, its disingenuous to call a unit bad by listing its weaknesses and none of its strengths.
In conclusion, playercard pls
