Right they were nerfed last pat h weren't they? But still... 210mp is a bit cheap...

How is 210 MP for such a crappy unit cheap? Pioneers are 200 MP and way better between their MP40s and flamethrowers. I don't think any unit dies faster than Royal Engineers. I'd take Rear Echeleons over Royal Engineers anyday.

Maybe if you spent more time playing the game in order to get better, and less time complaining on the forums, you might finally understand why no one agrees with you.

Look at my steam account.

I do play Axis when I feel like winning games.

Anyway, I don't really think whatever small bonus Allied MGs have in damage vs vehicles or other units is that relevant because its not the job of a machine gun to fight vehicles or necessarily kill infantry and besides the vetted MG42 with AP rounds is even better in that area anyway lol! I mean the Vickers can't even cover a capture point and keep a signle enemy sqaud from taking it from you. The Browning is okay but costs more than its superior Wehrmacht counter part for no apparent reason and its more on pop. With the preformance and stats the way they are then a Browning being 280 MP and 7 Pop means an MG42 should be 300 MP and 8 pop and a Vickers should be almost free (half joking). The MG34 for OKW isn't nearly as good as the MG42 for Wehrmacht but it still seems as good or better than the Browning or Vickers. The fact that the Browning is locked behind USF tech is pretty relevent because usually you have to pick between AT guns or MGs since its rarely viable to get both in most games (yes yes I know you can do the Airborne thing and avoid that but you shouldn't have to depend on a doctrine to survive). This of course is something neither Axis nor Brits or Soviets have to worry about

They have advantages in almost every stage.

I can't really decide where the imbalance seems to be here. For example RIflemen, Infantry Sections M2 .50 cal and Vickers MGs all preform poorly compared to their Wehrmacht or OKW counter parts. I'm wondering what could maybe fix this if it would involve increasing the cost of Axis units to better align with USF or UKF or decreasing the cost of western Allied units to put them on a more even playing field.

Some don't see this disparity but it shouldn't be hard to notice. US Rear Echelons are only 40 MP less than Grens and think about how poorly they preform compared to Grens. Grens are 40 MP less than Riflemen, but they often out class them in most engagements. The M2 .50 cal was nerfed and left to cost 20 MP more than it's superior Wehrmacht counter part besides the fact its locked behind tech (which isn't necessarily bad).
Thoughts?
