That's intended, its AOE suppression, you need to keep distance between squads.
I know, it's cool that its AOE, but it would be nice if the AOE would only work inside the arc of fire of the mg, its kinda silly to get suppressed if you cant even get hit by it.
I like that the mgs actually suppress now, but I don't like that they can suppress units outside the arc of fire. So you flank with one squad but get too close to a unit in the arc of fire and they get suppressed too.
Since someone already resurrected the thread can I just ask why the kubel now suppresses before it is set up? It just drives up, fires and you are already suppressed. Before the patch it took like a second or two before it could deal suppression.
I don't want to see your stupid skins and decals in automatch. And in a 4v4 if you wanted to see everyones pink tanks with dick decals you would need to download all that stuff before the match starts, which would increase the load times for everyone.
