riflemen?? the most OP main line infantry?? no... just no... volksgrenadiers are the most cost efficient and OP line infantry BAR NONE... followed by penals and then rifles followed grens followed by IS followed by conscripts as the worst mainline infantry...
IS have a very flat DPS curve afaik... they retain good DPs at long ranges in exchange for short range DPS.... IS should win at long and medium range... maybe lose at closer ranges
the maxim trades firing arc for faster setup and 6 man for high recieved accuracy and deathloop... it doesnt trade suppression for anything... even saying that one of the best mg ingame is comparable to THE worst mg ingame is astounding... you know what since you think the maxim is soo good maybe they should switch the MG-42 and the maxim... leave ost with the maxim for a patch and see how many people complain ehh?
the pak is more expensive than the USF one but i love the USF one bcz of APCR... still the pak is superior to both the brit and US AT gun due to target weakpoint
the hence why i equated the turbomortar and the self spotting mortar... one is a really good barrage mortar due to its fast ROF and can self counterbatt and the other can self spot for 30 muni is slightly more precise and has a 6 man crew....
barrage is useless vs non blobbing and non static enemies and 6 man doesnt save it from its awful RA...
volks op yayayada stg are x 1000 better than bar yada yada, etc rifleman are still the best mainline infantry, they carry the entire faction, that's why usf has awful support weapon.....
what i meant is that IS beats green at long and medium range but green beat them at close ......
maxim has the same RA as mg42 what are on ?......
as already said the maxim just needs a 0,001 increase in sup and 20% more damage so it's not another clone mg it will suppress and deal damage while mg 42 only suppress......
tw is good but other at guns have some really good vet too (for example more range on usf) and if im not wrong the brit one still has bonus acc to either LV or tank......
the barrage is used and they even had to nerf cause it was too good and wiped easily, now u can kill some units with the first shoot and if u are aming at support weapon or building it sill kill it.....
reducing the cost by 20/30 mp would amk4e cons op, just look what happened when they slightly buffed them cause everyone was whining, they instantly had to revert the range changes....
edit:forgot to add dot at the end of every phrase....
