The mistake he made is running too much.
The conscripts were never really shooting because two thirds of the time they were facing away from the MG. He ran around too much, allowing the mg to rotate with them in packed up state.
Instead, you have to make the mg set down, then run through it (not so far as he did), then focus fire it, then when it tries to set down run through it again.

However, he mentioned huge input lag so this may have been a factor as well when the connection between the two players was very slow. If the connection is good, the input lag isn't as bad normally.

I fail to see how this would have been different for a Soviet MG though. After all they pack up instantly and still set down very quickly even with the patch.
I know people don't like using molotovs because they can be dodged (by grens) but I think people haven't used them to their full potential yet. In cases such as this, a single molotov will solve the situation very well.

Compared to the old 88 - this unit is pretty boring - however devastating it may be. Being able to AUTO rotate is something that would set it aprt from other units. And everything in this game is too similar at this point.

Babysitting units like that isn't fun imo. Just like babysitting infatry to vault isn't either. Bring a little more AUTO - so we can focus on the bigger picture.
