6 man squad
Still a faster set up
Fights smaller squads
Jesus sprint (lol)
Its absolutely inferior where it matters, but its not all one sided either
Is the faster setup even half a second at this point?
Sprint is useless thanks to deathloop.
I'm fine with maxims being worse (they are cheaper after all), but when they are roughly the same cost, they should absolutely perform relative to cost "where it matters".
Otherwise it's just Penal squads all over again.
The maxim is neither an offensive weapon or effective defensive weapon. They nerfed the spam (GOOD!), but gutted its intended function as well as an offensive MG platform. So, if it is now intended to be a defensive support tool, like other MGs, it needs to be made as such.
