I don't think the fact that it's not good enough to steal without 6 man and merge should ever be considered a benefit. Especially seeing as OKW can just salvage it anyway
So if SU steals a raketen/MG42 it should have 5/4 man crew?
Cmon dont be such a fool.
SU perks makes maxims competitive, thats what he said. That also makes team weapon stealing OP.
If your complaint is that OKW can salvage, then you should remove both perks, if you want a nonbiased perspective.
Added:
Sustained fire at vet 0 should be the case. Make the ability slightly more expensive if needed, but the Maxim shouldn't need vet 1 and merging cons just to do it's only job
Why so? What about merge. Why should gren rely on MG42 but maxim dont rely on conscript merge? Maxims In early game is more than effective so the myth of "it cant do its job" its false.
Want lategame MG? Steal one, or get maxims in cover, at least you wont lose it. Done.
Or, can we all at least stop pretending the mg42 is worth 260 manpower? In no universe should it be the same price as Maxim and cheaper than .50 cal, which both require fuel to unlock
No one pretends that, everyone understand what is assimetrycal balance maybe?
If you dont like it just say it.
