soviet strats have always as long as i remember focused on "spam anything that works and avoid cons entirely because they do not" penals have never been good while the maxim was good and vice versa and when they both sucked we had sniper cheese, and call in spam. had they not completely gutted the maxim with the last triple nerf following many previous nerfs when they (over)buffed penals we might have seen some combined arms or diversity. HELL players were shoehorning themselves into 2 commanders, 1 of which was effectively a 4 slot commander (tanktraps as its own slot? just like okw and ost right?) with 3 MP call-ins and one being a meme and the other 2 being rather expensive JUST to have an MG that could suppress a volks squad before getting flamed out. literally every cheesy strat has been overusing a crutch because building cons is shooting yourself in the neck. you WILL NOT get a combined arms approach from the soviet unless the "backbone of the faction" becomes more than a wet noodle. ATM even trying to support a maxim with cons is like bringing a feather duster to a knife fight- you will tickle them and you will bleed.

So the 6man crew is there to lessen the problem with the deathloop that makes it a pain in the ass to use but is also the reason it can't not suck? Is the 6 man crew a balancing feature or a boon?

We have to tools for cover bonuses why not give it halfway decent suppression in green cover? Then it's good in a prepared position but not over powered in a multi MG attack move. Cons can build green cover so they can make it good where they need it to be.
Or scrap sustained fire and make that the default trait of the MG (long ass bursts and ramping suppression on a target the longer it shoots at it)
Or make sustained fire vet 0 and vet 1 could buff its AOE suppression or passive suppression or cooldown or something.
