SU:
Dshka MG - It is more expensive than maxim, doesn't do enough damage or suppression over maxim to justify this unit. The only use is as a fill in for T2 which is something but I would like to see this unit have lower suppression than maxim/mg42 but have a heck of a lot more damage so that it can shred infantry who don't get out of its narrow cone of fire and it could be a reasonable form of Anti-Vehicle deterrence as it was in reality.
Lets see how your lovely DSHK has changed

• Cooldown max from 2 to 1
• Cooldown duration multiplier far from 1 to 1.7

3.Dshk HMG from 1 CP to 2 CP
