You are also realising that the lmg-42 is the only upragde for grens. Other than bar and bren where you can equip two of them. Still is shitty that cons don't have a upragde.
getting double bar is extremely cost prohibitive, and frankly not worth the munition. That's one of the reason why rifleman had crap scaling before the veterancy buff. USF lack a decent weapon upgrade unless you went rifle or inf doc.
Of course, now people are starting to realize that the veterancy buff on top of flamer and m1919a6 turn riflemen into terminators.
bren gun is less cost effective than the lmg42 but still good enough to make double bren a completely nightmare to fight against. Most axis infantry get completely annihilated against double bren.
The lmg profile needs to be revised. It's a problem on the grenadier, and it's a problem on the tommies. It's seen some mean riflemen m1919a6 blob as well.
Ah yes, that way one Riflemen will be the superior troops, and M1919's will erase any chance Ostheer had at existing once they are purchased. After all, we know the M1919 was obviously far superior to the MG 42.
revise all the lmg in the game.
