Correct me if i'm wrong.
The initial design of maxim and mg42 was:
- MG42 has wider arc, but lower mobility. It supposed to be used defensively but it can suppress widelyspread groups of infantry.
- Maxim has much less arc, but high mobility. It's supposed to be used actively - it cannot suppress widely spread groups, you constantly need to take better position.
For now maxm has larger arc, but suppression was nerfed IMO too much. The arc is still less than of MG42, the speed is only faster when packing up.
I think if we lower maxim price now, it can only lead to more spamming. We need to make maxim effective again. Maybe decrease firing arc again, but give the proper suppression
the maxim was only spammed because conscripts are shit... ive already made a suggestion on how to fix the entire maxim-conscript-penal debacle
penals - nerf to volks mosin clone give optional DP upgrade but keep PTRS as optional
SVT deathblobs wont occur but penals are now good at holding the line but lose alot of dps on the move... no more unstoppable deathblobs...
cons - ppsh becomes nondoc... ppsh commander abilities get replaced by cons storm package with smoke grenades HE nade and hit the dirt...
cons are still balanced vs grens earlygame but now can compete vs grens lategame without getting slaughtered
maxim - +0.001 suppression and inc damage...
maxim no longer becomes useless
