That piece of shit gives yellow suppression to a single volks squad and then dies off in 3 seconds.
literally no allied MG at vet 0 is good against blobs KEK
either they have no suppression, or have a limited firing arc (flank fiesta), or they are the maxim and have both flaws and literally no upside whatsoever. God, i pity whoever uses the maxim, your axis buddies pay the same amount for a very superior machine gun, while even your 300 mp, 2 cp, doctrinal MG isn't even better than the 42.
Every time I think to myself: well, I need an MG, how bad can the Maxim be. And it turns out that this MG can be really really fucking bad. Basically every time I build that pos, it turns out to be a grave mistake. Even floating MP would help you more than this crap. It just shows that the balance team has no idea what they are doing, taking away every bit of uniqueness (Maxim with fast setup times but small arc) and making these units just unbearably worse (or buffing other units to levels previously unknown to mankind...)
