Yes is significantly faster reposition times, at least in comparison to claims maxim have significantly worse suppression.
Did you really read hary's test ??????? mg42 suppress center and near squad faster than maxim.
Barely? Who's lying now...
What is the meaning of reposition 1s faster if you suppress 1s (usually more) slower? Not to mention while repositioning, you taking dmg.
Deathloop only comes in if grens are better at close mid dps, which they are not..
Yet panzergrenadier and gwr 34 mortar exist.
Even by ratio, maxim have better ratio suppress far than mg42 has centre. Then there is pin which maxim is significantly better. Pin or suppression is better?
In blob control, suppress the blob is priority. You suppress a squad then switch to next squad to suppress it, then repeat,
About switching targets, always a chance it becomes amove reposition add to mg42 slowest packup and slowest ready aim time, you can see hmg42 is not all roses unlike the claims...
It happen to any MG, a change of miss click in the open. Take garrison in to account, when accidentally reposition not happen, switch target whork best with mg42. Not all rose, but still, more rose than anyone else.
So the claims of maxim not doing its job as mg is not correct... does it need any more buff than the recent free one...i just cannot fathom
If you consider maxim THIS PATCH is doing it jobs then why asking mg42 buff while it already did it jobs the whole time ? An allies unit finally can did it job after years, then it's axis counterparts suddenly need buff ????
