To be fair later comments do address the MG42 does under perform, it has hideously long rotation time and it doesn't fulfill it's role anywhere near as well as the maxim or 50cal. 240 for a support team seems steep, if it only performs one job (and the 42 doesn't do it very well comparatively) shouldn't the unit be cheaper? All the MGs are liek this though so w/
The real issue is how bugged the fucker is, it'll get stuck in buildings while tearing down and sometimes when it leaves the building you don't have a chance to retreat the squad before they try to set up again...
WTH is with relic and breaking weapons teams, they did it in DoW2 aswell, poor guardsman heavy bolter teams.
if you placed the MG 42 on that 2 story wooden building that is on Langreskaya and Semois, it will make the MG get stuck inside for a few seconds and switching firing positions all the time, and doing all kind of stupid things, its a problem with that wooden building
