Oh NOES adamantawesome can no longer setup a maxim in front of a mg42 while being supressed and kill the 42 so lets make them shoot mini nukes since adamantawesome cant do that any more.
Did you know maxim still has more DPS and faster setup and packup time than 42 , not to mention 6 squad members. Since soviet fanboys love telling german players to "flank" in respect to SU85 how about doing the same. At least mg42 will never survive a flank unlike the warp speed reversing 85.
This is just another soviet biased rant thread from our resident soviet whiner ... move on folks
Faster set up doesn't magically make it more effective against infantry, it's not going to suppress anything so setting up again won't help.
Yes, Soviet players do tell German players to flank the SU-85, because the SU-85 doesn't IMMEDIATELY IMMOBILIZE anything in it's view.
The MG-42 can easily survive a flank, trust me, it's not that hard to run away with it and re position, if one man gets caught in the fire of the MG42, whole squad is suppressed.
The Maxim on the other hand, takes ages to suppress and gives more than enough time for troops to take it out with 2 swift rifle grenades.
Judging by your seemingly rage-induced counter post, it seems as if you have never used a post-patch Maxim nor have encountered one. Or perhaps you have encountered one, but it was so easy to take it out you barely noticed it.
I don't want the Maxim to shoot mini nukes, but it would be balanced in this current game build, compared to the gravity manipulative MG42 rounds.
