Any stronger maxim, we need to look at wehr counter
Right now, they are just enough to handle maxim.
And again i disagree maxim spamming is because of poorer suppression
Spamming is to make use of its fast reposition and higher model counts.

Nerfing the t70. The reason why no one builds the su76 anymore is because a) t1 and t2 all have AT to deal with light tanks, b) t4 can deal with mediums/heavies, c) you can no longer build three and then call in a ISU or Is2, d) the t70 can deal with all axis light vehicles save the puma, and rape infantry and have godly recon.

Cons do best Grens at close range. Grens need the MG42 to keep the Cons back so they can’t close the distance. Soviets also have Penals, which are definitely better than Grens.

My point was also that the game was originally balanced that way. Back in the day Cons and Grens were almost identical except Grens had a 1.5 armor value and cost 30 to reinforce vs Cons costing 20 to reinforce. Both units were effectively the same at all ranges and traded evenly at a ratio of 2 Gren models to 3 Con models.

Go even further back to vCoH and the MG42 was still the cornerstone of the games asymmetrical design. MG42 plus Volks and Grens vs Riflemen where Riflemen best Volks and Grens up close and the Axis needed the MG42 to keep the Riflemen away.

Today, things are balanced differently, but the core concept that the MG42 is the cornerstone of Axis infantry play remains.

That's pretty much how I'd explain it to. It's fair and valid, but fuck is it boring fighting against mgs in every corner.
