Every faction other than SOV have decent MGs. MG-42 being unparalleled is nothing but a myth nowadays.
Every other faction have their options to face the Panzergrenadier and the role of infantry being that split is unique to OST. (Which is good no complaints here)
Ober is not an OST unit you know.
British infantry sections were problematic because they could go bolster super early (0.5-1 CP timing) and smash your infantry very early on with alpha strikes. I think you guys are really not understanding the difference between the impacts of a minute 1 alpha strike and an alpha strike at 25 minutes.
Compared to the maxim the mg42 is unparralleld. Soviet and usf need to tech towards it unlike ost okw and brits.
Pgrens are quite a powerfull ai squad, for the vsl to compete with them in dps terms with more hp will make vsl snowball and push pgrens out of use as we saw before. As vsl are cheaper and have more staying power and come quite early.
I was talking about axis in general, i know where obers belong. But they are besides the point actualy shoudnt have brought them up.
I understand perfectly how strong early upgrade alpha damage are. Hence i am in full agrement 7th man comes so late.
My suggestion with sections is to ty to them to hammer and anvil, the late game as it makes current sections snowball. I said that before but forgot to mention it this time.
